I did not know that Jim was settling a past debt with Frade by receiving those snakes. He just made a post, tagged Frade and that was it. There was no context made by Jim, and he mentioned nothing of it when I PM'd him. I was not aware in the slightest of any debt, so its a moot point. I don't really care *why* Jim deal's with criminals, its the flippant nature in which he admits it and even brags about it that I find worrisome. I did some digging and his past dealings with criminals are quite telling as well. He helped Bill & Linda break the law for YEARS and only ratted them out AFTER they sued him and won! I might be a little mouthy and kind of a jerk but who has lost a snake-related lawsuit? Jim. Who has NARCD'd other herpers out to the authorities? Jim. Who has displayed a complete disregard for the past of criminals in order to further his business? Jim. Who has a hard time speaking for himself and needs a crew of mindless groupies to fight his battles online for him? Jim. If the most I'm guilty of is saying naughty words on Facebook and being a jerk to stupid people, then I guess I can definitely live with that in comparison to Jim's transgressions. People who have a problem with "flippers" and how the free market works need to address those concerns elsewhere, like maybe an economics classroom. |
Huh-whu???

Since the term "flipper" has been tossed around quite extensively by the minions of NITITA/Jim, I wonder if anyone could find out what happened to the Ball Pythons mentioned in this article:
http://www.qconline.com/news/local/w...b462154f3.html Did Jim "flip" these snakes? He got them for free, so if he sold them for any amount of money that would be considered "flipping" correct? I doubt we will find any answers but you have to wonder.... |

There have never been any substantiated bad guy posts on me here, no. There were a couple threads started on me by scammers which of course turned out majorly in my favor after things were said and done, but that was over a decade ago.
I would wager that I have just as many, if not *more* documented "good guy/positive reviews" as Jim does, if you factor in my reviews from my time spent on Arachnoboards which can be seen here: http://arachnoboards.com/threads/david-beard.43257/ In my time as a part-time buyer/seller/trader I have had only a couple transactions go bad. I did my best to rectify them, and I understand that nobody is perfect. |

If we are going by the numbers, here are the documented positive reviews for Jim and Myself....
Fauna: Jim = 53 different positive posts/reviews from customers Myself = 7 (He obviously wins there, no question) Arachnoboards (where most of my positive reviews originate from, seeing as how I dealt more with inverts): Jim= 0 (that I could find at least, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) Myself = 67 In total between the 2 websites, Jim has 53 positive reviews, where I have 74. With someone who has such a massive experience head start on me, one would think the numbers would in his favor overall. That is not the case. I have a longer track record of positive/good guy reviews that he does. That is a fact. |
That's it. I'm out. Good luck all.

David your words are disgusting, my wife works for Easter Seals and all they do is work with IC student age to young adults, your comments on a social media site referring to others being IC in a not so politically correct way is just sad. You obviously have never spent time around any of these special people because if you had you never would have said the things you did, I pray one day you understand how much these words can hurt.
Like Chris I am done, you proved to me Jim is human and actually made a mistake or 2 in his life in the reptile world, I can live with that track record, you don't have to. Good luck with your future endeavors. |
What a mess is all I can say. I read through the entire thread, every single post. My conclusions are; So what if Jim collected an old debt from someone none of us would like to deal with, That's his business! I also noticed that he came here, said his peace and haven't seen another post from him for many many pages. David, you might have thought you were doing us a favor, but it seemed as though you feel you had something to prove for yourself. This thread could have died pages ago, but you continued to let people egg you on again and again. I personally would have let it be, you stated how you felt about the situation and then just turned into a drama fest. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even about you. I applaud Jim for not falling into the big drama that this turned into. That is the reason I never go on facebook anymore. I have a profile but haven't been on it in a year if not more. Way too much drama, who needs the stress?

This whole thread has given me a number of reasons to avoid dealings with various parties. At the moment, Jim is not one of them....way too much excrement to wade through to take the accusations seriously at this point. Obvious vendetta.

I really don't do Facebook, and these situations make me happy with that decision. I also have a rule: When I get angry at a person or situation, I sleep on it. Most of the time, it is not nearly as important or as big of a deal as it SEEMED the day before.
