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.

Not to mention the face a person like that would give the reptile community.

For me, the apology would have been just fine if he had not completely denied the statement was homophobic in the same sentence. When you do not accept responsibility for what was said and deny what you said was on the level of what it was on, any apology is as pointless as a pouty three year old whose mother forced them to say "Sorry". Again, this goes beyond just mouthing off. I would have almost understood that as I would have been frustrated with a negative review being posted for very dubious reasoning. He did not simply mouth off at the OP though. He used a bigoted slur. That's a whole new level that teaches you not only about his maturity level, but about how his entire psyche works. This is not much different to me than Tom Pecanic calling Mike from outback a "n&*#$%" the other day, and the only difference is only in what we knew about the person before the statement was made.

Thanks for telling me how I should live my life Mark, but I’m not very susceptible to the opinion of people that brush blatantly offensive remarks under the rug.
As for what I would like to see happen: well I would like to see the same thing happen that would to anyone else in any other profession as I stated previously. Anyone else would lose their job over a remark like that so let’s start there.

Reality check: He's self employed. Do you want him to fire himself? Not sure how much you contribute to his yearly income, but he lost your business so I guess in some way he lost his job to you. So now its time to move on possibly discuss people who really are bad buyers and sellers.

you know, for someone that wants this to be dropped, your spending an awful lot of time perpetuating it.
You must think I didn’t realize he was self employed.
Reality Check Mark: it’s called bankruptcy

You desire that he go bankrupt? And that is the start?

I don’t believe that anyone who thinks in such terms should be a face for any hobby I’m a part of, I would consider him to be a disgrace to the reptile community and I would hope that enough people would feel the same way that he would go bankrupt. So yes

Oh, I see. I have never sought to have people agree with me or face financial ruin for not thinking the way that I do. There are certainly many kinds of people. It would be a shame if they were forced to adhere to one person's ideology. That includes my own.
