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.

I AM NOT accusing them of murder, you know what I meant. Smart remarks get you no where.

It was far from being a "smart remark". You clearly state above, in your opinion, that letting this thread drop to the mucky bottom is letting NERD get away with murder.
No, I don't know what you mean.

Yes indeed my friend. And a nice healthy dose of practicing what you preach might well be in order.

I can go on but I don't recall specifically getting personal with you. Typical of the mentality on this site is that anyone who makes a statement that someone disagrees with is automatically the enemy and identified with them and as such. I've been accused of "condoning" NERD's activities because I did not condemn it as forcefully as some would like. And you, Brian called me a "bottom feeder". Care to explain what that was based on beside your temper and your idea that I supported the activities in those photos which I never did? I don't recall being involved with you in any way in the past so for you to have had a prior opinion is not highly likely. All that I said was that I wanted context.
And yes, this should have been handled privately, and could have. Did ANYONE who saw those pics call NERD and say "listen jerks, that is the most stupid thing I have ever seen in my life and will get us ALL in trouble with the authorities. If you don't remove those photos post haste I WILL post them on Fauna and every other site for people to see what idiots you are."? No, they were posted here with zero for context and some of us simply asked "who are these people wearing the NERD t-shirts?". What we were told was "go look it up". What if David had said "these people are Brian C Foster and Gary E Orner, Jr"? Would that have been cool? I think not. I don't know what you guys look like though if you want to send pics I'll find a good use for them.

Ahhh....but you no longer appear as active on this site after a half hour of inactivity. Having an open, minimized window is not enough. If your name is at the bottom of the thread then you have loaded a page from it in the last 30 minutes.

No only certain select “Big Breeders” or friends, that you don’t have an ax to grind with.

Next time have a friend take a picture for us.

OK, let me clear it up for you Mike, this better? Letting this drop to the mucky bottom would be like letting NERD get away with murder. Jim if it were Brian or Gary I would have done the same thing I have done here and I bet you 100% more people would be bashing them than there are people here trying to sort out this mess. Jim, lets say that Rich (Webslave) had posted this, I bet you my life that no one would question him and NERD would be outsed just like Alan Hall, who BTW is still running a busy business.

David, my point was that without context it could have been anyone. If you had said it was someone else, or if you had *gasps* doctored the photos so the shirts said "TRR" not "NERD" how would I have known who it was?
