That's where the new blood comes in.They are enthusiastic & help all of us remember why we got into the hobby in the first place.AB basically censors anyone who doesn't buy into their cult, eg ladder system -- junk enclosures that are Jerry rigged -- no climate control even if your living space is unsuitable etc blah blah blah.It's strictly my opinion and many other equally valid points of view exist, but if everyone is in the same cult, it's only one voice with 100% interchangeable parts whereas here there is a valid multiple perspective body of knowledge.Just ONE of many examples: There's an individual with multiple dogs in their home that has multiple Australian species not one of which is double cages, yet they ***** at me because I don't want mine at 68 degrees where I have because I'm used to it & would rather have it in the 80s.Names don't matter because it's the principal not the personality, but you'd recognize them in half a second if I dropped the name.Of course, others disagree and that's fine as well, but I have a cat and personally I wouldn't take the chance.Can you say double standard anyone?Frankly, I seldom post over there anymore. They have my YouTube channel. They can access my opinion there.</blockquote>
