Ray Capaldi and/or Donna Capaldi
I've been hesitant to post about this guy (just for the record, I'm not really sure there is a "Donna Capaldi", but his emails have been coming from an account under that name), as not really having done any business with the guy, my opinion and impressions of him are based solely upon correspondence I have received from him. So why post this? Well, there have been instances in the past when behind the scenes correspondence of this nature later proved to be early warning signs that I ignored, much to the detriment of a lot of people. The name "Chris Johnson" readily comes to mind, as the nature of the correspondence you will see later in this post was VERY similar in nature. In that previous case, I merely banned Chris Johnson temporarily a couple of times, and didn't think any more about it. Till he wound up screwing a LOT of people before vanishing.
So, would I be remiss in my duties by ignoring what appears to be some real psychological problems exhibited from yet another member? Well, at the very least, I think anyone interested in doing business with this fella SHOULD have a better view of what they might be getting themselves involved with if they engage in business with him. Maybe the transactions will be OK. Maybe they won't. You have to make your own mind up about how you want to proceed when dealing with this guy. I'm just laying what cards I know about him out on the table for you to view.
Anyway, this all started out with private messages through this site, so I'll just copy them verbatim right here. Hopefully I won't miss editing out all of the profanity and get an infraction levied on my head....
So, here goes...

Tom You sold me a very sick female Emerald Tree Boa. You gave me all this nonsense about being out of town I'll get back to you when I get back. Don't worry the snake will be O K. You should never have sold me a snake that was that far gone. She has her second vet appointment next week. I will file a complaint with my credit card company and pay pal. If I can stop only one person from buying anything from you it will be worth it. I have fifteen Emerald Tree Boas. If you would like I will send you a few pictures of some healthy ones. You never should have sent me such a sick snake. By the way the male has not eaten yet. I told you right away I wanted a refund you misrepresented the snake. I told you she ate and threw up.I told you she defecated brown water all over cage.I told you right away she was as thin as a pencil. Oh well I got screwed. There are a lot of liars and thiefs in this business. Ray Capaldi

Title : Tom Mendelson
From : Ray Capaldi
TO : WebSlave
I understand. Let me ask you a question. If I can figure out how to post pictures here. If you or anybody sees that this snake is seriously skinny what happens next.If I show vet bills and a diagnosis do you force Mendelson to give me a refund or ban him from selling sick snakes. If not then this site is S**T. Why waste my time posting pictures then. I asked you to unsubscribe me. You said you can't. I'll go back to buying from Kingsnake when I want to add to my collection. I always see top breeders there. I see shops that are first class there. You know who I am talking about. I just wanted to warn every one that buying from Tom Mendelson@ Indoherp is a crap shoot. He is an intelligent man who knows business and reptiles.That is why I was very surprised that he sold me such a bad snake. Thanks for your time, Ray Capaldi

Sorry, but this site is not your daddy. We just allow both sides to state their case (in the Board Of Inquiry), and that is it. We don't play judge, jury, executioner, or God. If that is what you need out of your online transactions, then yes, please go somewhere else closer to the daddy figure you are looking for. This site is not it. Have a good day. Rich Z.

LOL! I just love it when people prove to me what an idiot they are. Seriously, I'll be 64 years old in two weeks. So if I'm a kid, what does that make you? :rofl: I'll ban you later, when I stop laughing so hard.... Rich Z.

There is absolutely no way you are 64. Not by the way you talk. I am 58 and I know someone is a kid by the way they conduct themselves. This site is not your daddy. What a stupid thing to say kid.

And yet another LOL and proof of what I stated earlier. I stated that I will be 64 in two weeks. You didn't even get that right, now did you? But absolutely no way I am the age I stated? What do you care to wager on that? Make it a public statement so when you welch on your losing it will be public record. But your making yourself look foolish in public will likely be enough payment for me anyway. So put your money where your mouth is, fella. The implication of the "daddy" comment is that we are not going to hold your hand and rubber baby buggy bumper the world for you with your transactions on this site. The tools are here for you to do your own research on who you want to do business with. If you fail to utilize those tools adequately, don't come crying to us about it. I presume you are a grown up, so act like it and deal with the world like an adult instead of some kid running to the school marm crying about the bullies picking on him, stealing his lunch money. Did I use small enough words for you to understand now, sonny? Rich Z.

This is one thing I hate about the summer. All the kids are out of school with nothing to do. Go to bed earlier you might make more sense when you speak. And remember respect your elders.

I grew weary of the guy's attitude, so this is when the ban hammer was applied. The emails will be posted in the next post, since this is getting to be kind of long winded.
