Snakes aren't for me I don't think. I think I made a mistake

Guys, in my opinion we all need to cool down. I just read all the way through this and although there have been a few clam sections, everyone is, deliberately or not, offending others. A few extra minutes to think and consider what could be meant by a post before you say anything can make the world of difference. This is the second thread I've seen where the forum has degraded into one of these small-scale battles - I don't know about you, but I prefer the board without them. :)

Anyway, as to the thread, glad it all got settled in the end. :)
 
Good to see that he changed his mind and is keeping the snake. If he posted here and started the thread then he must have wanted to hear other's opinions on the matter.
 
I've been reading this thread over the past couple of days, (and yes I've seen the other one too) and this doesn't have so much to do with Glock, as it does with people in general.

Humans are curious. Nobody was "owed" an explaination, but that does not mean they are forbidden from voicing their curiosity.
There is also a huge difference between implying that someone is not telling the truth and actually saying, "You are a liar," because everyone lies sometimes, but that doesn't make them bad people. Calling someone a liar implies that they lie all the time, and lack moral character.

It's obvious to anyone who owns a snake that Glock's reason weren't exactly true, and by his own admission, they weren't, but nobody here was trying to call Glock a liar. They were just showing curiosity in the true reasons behind his decision.
They weren't owed an explenation, they KNEW that, and they were lucky to get one anyways.
 
I think it's neat that they have a phrase for it in other countries too:

Wikipedia.com - "Beating a Dead Horse"
Beating a dead horse is an idiom which means a particular request or line of conversation is already foreclosed, mooted, or otherwise resolved, and any attempt to continue it is futile. In British English, the phrase is usually rendered as flogging a dead horse
