The reason I posted these pictures was a Serama Club member left me PM that they believed I had no Seramas. Further saying something about snubbing them by not selling some of mine. I do not show and I do not sell them. I am very serious about Seramas and several other unique poultry. No measure of harassment will change that. So please let it be. Thank You

What, by your definition, constitutes being serious about Seramas? I don't think you get much more serious than breeding to a show quality standard, yet showing is of no interest to you. Perhaps if you did consider selling some of your birds, your remaining Seramas would have much better living conditions than the overcrowding you showed in your now deleted pictures. Or, perhaps, it could provide you with income to buy more housing for your flock. I was seriously dismayed at the conditions your birds were living in, especially when you were bragging in another thread about having a couple of hundred of them. There is no serious Serama breeder that is "harassing" you about getting you to sell some of your flock to them. No serious breeder supports the poultry equivalent of a puppy mill. Perhaps I would buy that you were truly "serious" about your Seramas, if their conditions supported that claim.
If you would truly like to let it be, then it would certainly be in your best interest to not start threads making strong, unsupported claims of weights that you in no way have present in your adult birds, or to start threads asking what breed of chickens you have, when you have been making the claim all along that you have Seramas. It is antagonizing to those of us who are truly serious about the Serama, and are working to gain acceptance as a standardized breed. Again, if you would like some recommendations to breeders to get in touch with for some help, I would be glad to put you in touch with them. Seramas are a wonderful breed and they deserve everybody making the best efforts to do right by them

A bit of forethought might have saved you a little "harassment". I don't mean to be rude but you kind of expect some discussion on a forum.
If it was a private argument, why didn't you PM the person with a link to your pictures?
