You are right!
We all know that Dr. Buschinger aims to get under people's skin at times, but let's ignore him and Teletotje for now, ok? This thread is too off task at times. It's about recognizing people that contribute to Ant Keeping, not about certain European Myrmecologists pissing people off. Let's get back on track.
I have read his post. It is always the same: He is the victim and we are the bad German ant keepers. This neverending story is exhausting. Who is able to unterstand German should read his post in the German forums. So everyone can form his own opinion. I have not the time to translate all the post where he insults shop owners, ant keepers, scientists and so on...
His favored victim is drtrmiller because he do not like his products. The funny thing is, that he had never tested even one of this products.
Merkur decided to reply to this thread on Yuku where he is a member. It's an interesting dialogue that is currently developing.

I am here to talk about keeping ants an not about this Merkur guy. But it makes me angry, when people like Teleutotje defame German or generally European ant keepers. (See his "European Madness Thread" in the yuku forum or his statements here.)
Surely, there are differences between the "German/European way" of keeping ants and the "American way". But I think we should respect each other. And it would make me sad, if ant keepers from other parts of the world belief such bad things propagandized by some people.
Here are many ant keepers from Germany and Europe. Just ask them!
Best regards,
A bad and irresponsible German ant keeper
