You just hit a very touchy subject here. Some people just blow it way out of proportion.
Don't take it the wrong way, your doing the right thing by sticking around and learning. This is a great site, lots of nice people. but some can't take it when it comes to breeding, they think that only "professionals" can breed, but how do you get to be a professional? you have to start somewhere, everyone is a newbie once in there life, no one is perfect. So just take this all with a grain of salt
