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.

Manny this isn't about a misunderstanding anymore. This is about your blatant lies and we would like for you to actually man up and set your lies straight.

Anyone else getting the feeling that his "apology" amounts to little more than him having been coached (assuming he physically wrote it himself, which I kind of doubt) into taking a disingenuous and self-serving step towards simple damage control? It definitely seems that way to me, especially since there's a very noticeable absence of him acknowledging having done anything wrong, other than vague references to what he calls "unprofessional behavior".
I have to wonder exactly what that term means to him. Is outright dishonesty, misrepresentation, pettiness and vindictiveness so easily lumped into the category of "unprofessional behavior"? Or is he still in denial of certain facets of the situation? Maybe it's just me, but I think that apology rings pretty hollow.
I know he said that:

Despite this, it seems like the question I asked in my previous post may have been worth addressing.

I highly doubt he will make anymore appearances here. I think it took a lot for him to come here and say that whether it was him or his pr manager lol I feel like it was more for the people in the boi, and the reptile community then directly towards me. But its over so Im happy.
This is what he told me when I addressed that very question question.

Jendee Campbell
In the case that she has ovulated im still owed 1.1 btw i know you said he hasnt been breeding but i am keeping up with your convo in your group
...
12:00am
Manny Frade
Lol. Nope. She has not ovulated. Her next 6-12 weeks will determine a the father of the litter your male is out a salmon male is in so there's no confusion.
...
12:05am
Jendee Campbell
K just checking...it sounds otherwise from what u posted in your group that ive been putting in the boi
...
12:10am
Manny Frade
A swell means she's ready. You should know that. This is the window to get to her, there's a salmon in there no question who is the father if a good litter happens.
...
12:21am
Jendee Campbell
I also know of there was any copulation at all he could still very much father that litter hes been with her since november
...
12:24am
Manny Frade
I highly doubt there was any but to end all doubts I'm 99% sure salmon is super so there shouldn't be any norms. If there is I will be able to tell if they're his or your animals as het squarerail are distinct

Thomas Cobb, I read your first post just now and after that I stopped reading.

I stated earlier today that there are a many people who have had great exchanges and are happy with Manny's animals. I totally get that....

I only want to tell you something... If you wanna know my version about your statement of my buys and trades from Manny please PM me. You have no idea of what you say on this, you are asuming a lot about what you see but is not the way it looks. I really don't spend a lot like you believe and not in one.
That's why trades by 2 people stand on private...

You're letting your relationship with Manny cloud your judgement. I don't think either party was clear at all on what the arrangement was. Since you can't show me different I'm going to assume you're just blindly sticking up for Manny.

Well, when it could easily appear that past purchases are the sole determining factor for why any given party chooses to support another, some people may feel that that information is very relevant. It seems that the simple act of purchasing from manny has an uncanny polarizing affect, when it comes to their capacity to objectively gauge his character.
As such, some may find it noteworthy that, as of 5/8/2102, you had made at least one purchase and had a payment plan going for two more animals. Since your cultural sensibilities didn't seem to deter him from publicly posting about your purchases on another site, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong by simply reiterating your own post here.
It just seems that those who've had good experience with manny completely lack the ability to see that there's clearly another side to that coin. Some may choose to see this as a witch hunt, where only his negative aspects are being focused on. However, as many around here often say, it's how the bumps in the road are handled that say the most about a given person/business. When his BG threads are viewed in that context, I think they say some extremely unflattering things about him. Things which simply don't go away after posting a simple PR statement of an apology.
Also, I noticed the Mr. Ortiz isn't using his full name when he posts.

I have to say, I started feeling a lot less sympathetic towards him when I was reading his posts on Facebook. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, and Manny genuinely didn't seem like a bad guy. But he cuts a lot of corners, and has taken advantage of and lied to Jendee.
I wouldn't put him in the same category as outright scammers and thieves, but his business ethics are not what I consider to be good guy material. He's more interested in making a profit than in being honest, and the only reason he apologized here is because other people kept pressuring him to do so as a form of damage control.
I have no doubt that most of his high dollar customers are satisfied, but a good guy doesn't adjust his ethics based on how much the buyer is spending. That's just bad business.
