My point is that no one should get too relaxed with a sling of this species, because slings are more likely to run when startled.  This is how people get bit. They become too comfortable with this behavior,  and thus assume that this is how the spider will always react when disturbed.  They do become more defensive as they get bigger. That is a fact. Like I said before,  defensive behavior might appear earlier in some individuals than others. I'd like to know what "misinformation" you're talking about.  You think you can just start accusing others of spreading misinformation and not expect any retaliation?  You wanna play the game,  you better know the rules.</blockquote>
