Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

hence, that is why i cruise craigslist for pure entertainment, not to ever, ever, ever buy anything off there (live animals, of course, i am speaking of).
i have (for fun) replied for animals and feeders off craigslist a couple times, and it is amazing the idiots that post/attempt to sell on there.
cl is good for a laugh every so often

I used to sell feeders when I lived in Arizona, and I used Craigslist as my source of advertising. I made quite a bit of money, and had a bunch of happy customers (NOT one unhappy customer).
I actually had better luck overall with the quality of Phoenix Craigslist users vs the quality in other areas. I think you have it easier in your neck of the woods, from my experience over there.
But, there were still laughable people/ads.

I havent any experience with cl in any other area, but if Phoenix area is good, id fear what the other areas of the country hold
It's super easy to pick out the straight up idiots off cl, but sometimes you have converse with some people to see the dishonest, trolling idiots
Thanks for the tip that Phoenix is the good cl place, if I move ever, cl will be more off my source list than it is
All in all, sorry about the experience with this idiot

I normally enjoy your posts and respect what you have to say... but I've got to say something about this. Random trans-phobic comments aren't cool.
Making a slur/joke about Craigslist being for "hooking up with [negative word for gay men]" or "hooking up with [negative racial slur]" wouldn't be acceptable, and it's no more acceptable to make the same "joke" about transsexuals/transgendered folks.

Does it make it right? No, I never said it did. But she was asking for that one by poking the badger in the eye with a stick.

Ah, I understand your perception now. It's a reasonable one imo. I, too, have just passed on when someone replies unprofessionally.
She should have moved on.

Sorry to tell ya there Nick but your logic doesn't really cut it. Nice try though... .
I could advertise from a dumpster for all I care and ANYone who inquires is going to get a friendly, professional response from me.
Don't get me wrong I definitely understand MANY people on CL are a joke but to answer SOMEONE else' add and get that response is a joke.
Just another person justifying ridiculous behavior

I don't think anyone is "justifying" the behavior, I think that some are just pointing out the OPs part in getting the response she did AFTER the "Yeah, right." That response right there could have been indicative that the person on the other end wasn't as big a breeder as she thought, or a joke, and she should have moved on.
People rarely respond positively to sermons.
*Let me shut up, both Nick and Shadera have helped me see from another perspective.
She warned us, but we have no idea what happened from the breeder's end, and it is unfair (imo) to lable him and negatively impact his business at this point.

Yeah, I am pretty sure you are now justifying it as well. Again, Awesome!
"Because you got a bad response the first time, it then becomes your fault"...
I honestly could care a less considering I live nowhere near the OP. I just think it's funny to bash on her that's all. (Or whatever you want to call it)
