That;s right Karen. I do post my opinion, and that is my prerogative. It's a great country that we live in- people are entitled to expressing their opinions. Just because they may differ from yours or mine means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. Also, the last time I checked, the rules of this board also allowed for the posting of opinions, so long as they were stated as such.
That being said, let me add my $0.02 to a few points that you made. Not worth two cents you say? Not a problem...today only, it's free (Just don't tell anyone about the great deal).Bear in mind that nothing in this reply is meant to flame you or offend you- just to shed some light on my POV and add some of my dry humor.

I can't speak for Ritchie. Speaking for myself though, I take some pride in the core value of integrity, and have zero tolerence for those who lack it. If I disagree with someone's words or actions, I call them out on it, plain & simple. That's my right, and is within the rules that Rich has set forth.

From what I can gather, the post was meant to incite a reply from Mr. Polanco. I'm rather curious to see what may be said in reply to the allegations of threatened asskickings, etc. ####, I'd like to know if I'm on the to-be-kicked list so I can plan my Daytona trip accordingly.

Between you and me, I can see where it would be VERY easy for someone to construe this as a veiled threat. I doubt that's how you intended it to come out, but that's the downside of the internet- some statements can be taken more than one way.

That being said, I think enough time and energy has been spent on this little tangent, wouldn't you agree?
Ritchie- I know who Karen is, and she has long since earned my respect from back in the "old days" in the kingsnake.com boa forum, as well as in the what seemed like nightly boa forum chat (correct me if I'm wrong about the chat, Karen), and I'll vouch for her character any day. So why don't all 3 of us who are the principles in this little fracas agree to just let it drop? None of us can possibly win this debate- no matter what, all 3 of us will just be frustrated if it proceeds.
'> YEAH----JOE IS A PRETTY TOUGH GUY TO TAKE---my experience with him was i sold him a nice emerald at almost half price---3 months later he wanted a refund because it was puking(never did at my place--he must have something airborne)-regardless--he gave me a list of people to contact that would vouge for him and he said they would advise me to give him a refund because they would do the same for him----well i called his bluff--the one guy he had emphasized the most said 3 months???i would not give joe polanco a 3 hour guarantee---needless to say, being the big pushover that i am--i still offered joe half credit and he turned it down saying that he would send me half a snake for half credit--i said keep the snake and take half credit--still no good---he wanted full credit on an $800 emerald that i sold to him for $400 3 MONTHS LATER!!!---he is a joke and so is his dictatorship board---i think matt is correct when he says that he starts beleiving his own lies--because after he posted on his board about the incident, and every poster on the entire board came to my defense--MY(BEN SIEGEL) DEFENSE ON JOES BOARD-he still beleives he is in the right--he lives in a dream world---i just wish kingsnake would reopen the tree boa forum----and the whole post deltion thing is absolutely true to the note---i mean there were a few of us reading it right before it was being deleted--it was like he was sweating at home just pounding away at the delete button--too funny!any way--the name usually brings cringing facial expressions to whoever you mention it to and even after numerous civil e-mail attempts by me--he is still being a child. To each his own--some people thrive on anger---it keeps them going--they usually do not live to long.
