Ok, I still don't see how I misread your post, but after I read your last comment I admit I had to re-read Sean's article, and I do see your point of view a bit better. I see where Sean becomes a bit passionate about pet care and does show some anger in his comments, but they are directed at pet owners that do not care properly for their pets. I think that's worth a bit of passion, but I agree that it diminishes the professionalism of the writing. Then again, he isn't calling it a professional article. I guess I read it originally through the filter of having had conversations with him in person, and realizing that he himself sometimes doesn't use a filter. He sometimes makes comments that one does not expect, but that's just him. He is still likable and has much more experience than I have time left to acquire, and I respect his opinion. But, I'll still get a new hobby before I keep live mice in my house.
