So, since this is one the more prominent blogs on the internet and the top source for bear/animal information, you can imagine I get lots of comments (both positive and negative). The other day, I received the following comment from a reader name Jesse:

i cannot believe the mindless dribble i have just read… did a shark attack your family member or sumthing… your facts are entirely unfounded, no sharks sun themselves on the beach that is the most rediculous thing i have heard like an elephant trying on a dress to fit in with humans the shit just doesnt happen, thay arent some mean machine trying to rid the world of its population one unsuspecting swimmer at a time, they are predatory fish that eat to survive, they need to eat lots as there is a lot of animal to support and they are constantly burning calories from swimming… and they shall never NEVER go on land to rid our childrens children of crops… you man/sir are a fool… ne! a Fools Fool… and should never post a blog nor a comment so long as you have an opinion to post… you have shamed your family and all those who have met them… GOOD DAY!

Thank you for the feedback, Jesse. I wish you were right about the sharks, but you just aren’t. See, it’s naive people like you who perpetuate the myth that Great White Sharks are just predatory fish. Wrong. They are killing machines. They want to rid the world of humans.

What’s more interesting, however, is that Jesse not only took the time to read this blog but also wrote a very lengthy comment. I appreciate the feedback but I just don’t know why anyone would take so much time out of their day. Perhaps Jesse would like to become a Bearscare contributor?

One more thing for all my readers. I think Jesse meant “drivel”. We all know “dribble” refers to bouncing a basketball.
