I am not out to judge anyone, just comment on the facts presented in this forum. After reading Bill's letter the one thing that I come away with is that the issues at hand were not dealt with and the one thing focussed on was his right to respond to the allegations at hand. Well maybe that should have been part of the note. I do agree with Bill in that he should be able to defend himself on the BOI. I dont know why the webslave will not let him post, although I doubt it was just an arbitrary decision on his part. Ultimately Bill does need to be able to defend himself against any accusations or the BOI only serves to be a blackboard for possible slander. There are always two sides to every story. Personally I would not buy an animal from Bill right now because of what I have read, this is my choice and there is nothing personal involved since I dont know Bill and I have never done business with him. But playing devils advocate for a minute, what if he can explain this away, prove himself to not be at fault ? If he doesnt have the chance to do so then we all have to assume he is guilty of bad business practices. Lets not assume anything !!! Lets hear from Bill, even if its through someone else. But based on what has been posted here I would not risk my collection or any of my customers collections by purchasing one of his animals. If he is not guilty is that very fare to him ? On the other hand if he is guilty of the things he is accused of then I hope everyone follows my thought and refuses his animals even if he offers them for free !!!! But we are still in America and that guarantees certain rights and before someones livelyhood is threatened then they should be able to be heard, and allowed the right to present their side in their own defense. Right or wrong ?
