I agree with Thamnophis, let's not jump to conclusions.

Cazador's reaction (although his position didn't) came pretty much as a surprise. I was prepared to let the 88 thing slide, a simple yes or no from ClosedCasket88 would have been enough for me. No explanations or assurances would have been needed and as far as I'm concerned, he doesn't owe us any. I learned a long time ago that the best way to ruin a friendly atmosphere, something I value a lot, is to bring up controversial issues. Unfortunately it seems that I haven't learned to avoid them.

This forum is about garter snakes, not ideologies and it was a mistake to bring it up. I feel I pretty much caused this little mess and because people feel so strongly about the "88" issue, ClosedCasket must be under a great deal of pressure either way.
