>>Aww! That's so sweet. I'm sure Facet will be interested, just on the strength of not being called "Bugeye" all afternoon. It's hard for him to make friends. But if there are entomologists in the group, they might like his handsome compound eyes. Somebody must have noticed him flinching and made a point of telegraphing the soup-friendly environment. :D<<
Some of that is my irritation at Pointer not using Facet's chosen name. It's Bullying Education Week in our cyber school, and friendly fire ISN'T. :-/ Some of that is MY irrational response to compound eyes, especially on spiders, but I won't let an irrational fear dictate my learning. I might not be able to keep my eyes open, or stay in the room, but that's my problem, and Facet should get the respect he deserves. Audio feed is available. ;-)
>>But this will hit him from a totally different angle, letting him know that all doors aren't necessarily closed. It will help set up for later developments. I think once he realizes how bad the situation is -- due to the berettaflies being taken out of their intended context -- he will eventually feel horrible and turn himself in.<<
Species have been renamed, when it's determined that other characteristics are more important. For trying to catch his creatures when containment was broken, I feel he gets a voice in the debate.
*SMACK* Bad soups, better double check YOUR cape colors!
