I hope you don't mind. Implied or explicit threats are inappropriate on this group. Ray expressed an opinion, nothing more. For you to take his comment to other forums where he is not a participant in an attempt to "punish" him is childish, but I guess we could expect that based on your email address above. It may be childish. And it was not intended as a threat, as it has already been done. As for "punishing him", I am merely broadcasting his views to a wider audience. I often wonder why so many orchid growers are apologists for the smugglers, and/or customers to them. And, having seen Ray as an apologist for some time, I don't believe he cares about conservation issues. While he has a right not to care, he is a commercial supplier, albeit a small one, and I believe in boycotting suppliers that don't believe in following the laws that protect wild orchids. Calling that childish is your right, but I don't see how anyone can claim to care about plants without caring about protecting them in the wild. - theoneflasehaddock |
