This whole thread is a great example of what not to do. And that is why Michelle is getting sued. There shouldn't even be a BOI on this subject, this was not even a purchased animal via fauna classifieds, or a purchased animal in general.

I realize this isn't aimed at me, but I want to address this.

The very fact that so many people on Ty's side are upset about this BOI existing says to me exactly why it should. What more does it say that he will not address this issue here, where she is able to debate with him? If there is something we aren't seeing, why then did he not share it here when he chose to make his statement?

Mr. Park, by his own admission, never once communicated what - exactly - he intended to send Michelle. While I will concede she bought nothing, I think his behavior shows a remarkable lack of ethics, and I believe it absolutely applies here.

Please note: I am not Michelle's friend, I do not know her from Adam. In fact, I know more about Ty since he's from my home state and is very active in the community here. And I absolutely respect the good he has done for the community. That being said, a white curtain will retain an ink blot if you do nothing to remove it. This raffle, and how he has handled it, is the blot on his otherwise stellar reputation, and frankly, it's unsightly.

How you handle problems and problem 'customers' says more about you than a thousand excellent transactions. It is the problems that people remember.

I suspect that this minion Ming either is Ty or reports directly to him. I suspect Ty is trying desperately to keep this issue from going to court. And I suspect that because of the number of views here, it has become the subject of conversation among his friends and acquaintances, and he knows he is not looking good here, and is trying to get everyone to hush.

Doing a poor job at it, filing his own defamation case when this could have been settled a long time ago for a lot less money. I don't think he knows what he is doing. Well, maybe in his own mind he thinks he does. He clearly has mental issues of some kind. I'm no expert, but there is something not right with him.


On the other side of things, Michelle could have just cut her (perceived) losses by just taking back her $400 and telling Ty Park to piss off. I'd be pretty ticked off too if I didn't get a prize I was supposed to win, but rather than spend $10,000+ to get this prize valued at ~$3000 I'd just take my money back. And that $10,000 is just a retainer, you're lawyer will blow through that before the thing even gets to court unless you got a real good and honest attorney. Is all this really worth something you paid $400 for?

All he had to do was give Michelle the lizard - one HE produced, not one from another breeder he wouldn't identify - or the $3,000.

Real simple ... so why didn't he do it ?

You do realize that this statement is a classic indication of a failed argument?
Your attempting to discredit the argument by attacking the individuals instead of the argument and as a result it further discredits your position and you as well.

Actually it is an intimidation effort as are your continued posts in this thread.

So stop with the bad mouthing and pony up some lawyer money. Many pages ago, I told you about you are building a libel case against yourself.

For someone who claims to not have a personal interest in this argument your position constantly speaks volumes in that you do have a personal interest in this argument particularly since 22 out of the 37 posts (or almost 60%) of your posts have been in this thread ...

Again, attacking the individual instead of the argument as you apparently cannot disprove the argument.

The conflict in his claims to not have a personal interest in this argument is pretty apparent.

You do realize that you are attempting to discredit the provided physical proof with a hypothetical that by your own admission something you don't know for a fact exists? If that proof did in fact exist, then why hasn't it been provided? It would show who was actually in the right.

Do you see the irony here? A ticket was purchased as part of a contract between the seller of the tickets, the benefiting party, and the person who purchased the ticket which stipulated that a specific tegu (genetics) or a value would be awarded to the winner of the drawing. You can't make the claim for it to have been a business transaction and then attempt to claim it shouldn't be here on the forum.

a few people here have offered to help but i dont even know how to go about that but if someone wants to set up a go fund me page that may work.

if anyone has any ideas pm me
and thank you all again for all of your support

Travel fees?

He would have to sue you in your home state. Unless you own property, or operate a business in Florida he won't be able to proceed with the case.

Were you served papers, or did they come in the mail?

Her attorney can file to have the case dismissed based on venue and for a myriad of other reasons; if he's even halfway competent he'll have a list at his fingertips.
