Can't mention a certain website?

Seeing as how I'm not a big poster here or anything and I tend to only browse the classifies with the semi-detour into the BOI...it was brought to my attention during this thread that a certain other reptile site can't be mentioned.

And it's only that site, apparently.

What I want to know is why? Where is there on this site that says members are not allowed to talk about them? Isn't that a bit childish?

I was told:

it's not relevant to this discussion and probably best if the subject is dropped

Now relevant to that discussion...maybe, maybe not. But best if dropped?

I googled it, I searched for it, but can't seem to find any relevant information on why the **** aka ****** can't be mentioned. I think mentioning it here should be ok since it's the topic. (oh, and nice word filter you have there...it vanishes if you post the letters together.)

At a time when things are all up in a ruckus with Andrew Wyatt leaving USARK; Ohio passing some crazy ban; and HSUS pursuing legislation, I think it's high-time that we all unite and form a common bond. It ONLY benefits us if we do. Like the saying goes: United we stand, divided we fall.

Sorry, that's 2 subjects, but good questions IMO.

Well, you KNOW I don't want that reference on my site, yet you did it again.

I presume you are doing it just to try to get a rise out of me with malicious intent.

One more time and you are gone from here.

Wait, that makes no sense. If I'm talking about a specific website that shouldn't be mentioned here, how is ANYONE else to know what not to mention?

I'm not trying to get a rise out of you with malicious intent..it was an honest question. I mentioned it here so that future visitors to your site will know that it has been discussed and which one not to mention.

I started a new thread like you asked....and apparently there is no discussion?


You didn't answer my questions. I'm not trying to create something, but your reactions are making more of it than it should.

Spend some time over on that site and maybe you can figure it out.

And my EXACT quote in that other thread was:

And my EXACT quote in that other thread was:

I am a member there, but I don't read all the threads there. I am friends with Larry, the owner, but that doesn't mean I don't look at other sites.

I guess that there is no real discussion then. You didn't even answer my questions. :/

Is there no way to have a civil discussion?

And I quoted you exactly, so not sure why you quoted yourself again?

Then why don't you ask him rather than continuing to poke the bear? Rich doesn't want the name mentioned, and fauna is his site to make the rules for.

Because I didn't know it was against the rules until last night and since it is on this site, shouldn't I ask webslave?

If the roles were reversed and I was at TFTSNBN, then I would ask Larry. As it is, the rule is here....somewhere....

And that's only half of my topic.

Please read the rest of the original post.

Nope there is no *official* rule about it. Which is why you didn't get any *official* infractions for it. But continuing to flaunt my request will have every bit the repercussions of violating the rules of this site. Let's just call it *my* rule.

It's a personal decision on my part. I was accused of engaging in illegal activities by members on that site, including Larry. I was threatened with physical violence. I was called nearly every profane and derogatory name in the book there.

Larry is just lucky that was not interested in playing in attorney's offices and courtrooms. I've just got better things to do with my time.

So, that site is just simply not welcome to be mentioned here in any fashion.

Anyone who does so will have their post edited to remove the reference. If it continues, then that member will be escorted out the door because of their then noted malicious intent.

If you need any further elaboration, you will have to continue that elsewhere other than on this site. This is all the explanation that is necessary or will be forthcoming.

So this happened at another site?

I'll have to ask over there because I know that I won't get the run around or some accusations not backed up. (Where's your email/links like what is required on your own boi?)

This is simply childish how you all behave. I am sure this thread will be deleted and I will be either given an infraction or shown the door. I am leaning more towards the door because obviously webslave wants it that way.

Is that a little tear I see in the corner of your eye?

Come on dude, you know what's up if you got the brains of a lemon so stop trying to play it off. You got caught twisting the owner's tail, either man up and take your points or hit the road, but whatever you do, stop the sniveling.
