PROVE IT!!!

It's not important whether YOU ignore me or not. It's the unanswered questions and implications you ignore from the members of the herp community that are hurting you. And if exposing creeps like you is considered my "thing", your recognition and hatred of that speaks VOLUMES! WELCOME TO THE BOI!!!

Hello Chris,
even I don´t know you, I am very surprised, that you are attacking me here. I have nothing to do with this posts, exept reporting my experience with Garrett. And I can reperat, those are excelent. And if I see the visitor message in my profile, not only me had good experience.

I guess, with all of us being long enough in this business, for everyone here you will find at least one negative comment on any not perfect deal in the past. If not here, then just with a few minutes Internet research. Noone here who makes this business longer then a day will have a 100% perfect reputation. It just cannot be, as we are all dealing with live animals and noone can look inside animals. And we are all dealing with a bunch of laws from different countries and never ending paperworks in some cases. As the more deals you make the bigger the chance for one going wrong. I see questions, if a 11 year old post is the same person. This is absolutly not understandable.I find negative comments about people leaving comments in this thread that are just a few month old.

I am wondering, if you mean "one hit wonder" as an insault and if you know the different time zones the world has? We are here quite a lot hours ahead of your time. You quoted my post 2 times and now again brought me into this. And that to a time, where I had no time to respond. Between 2-5 a.m. is actually the time I sleep, when I have to be awake early to bring my daughter in the kindergarten. I would also not expect you to answer right now as it is nighttime in the US.

Just to give you a small sight in my thinkings when I read all that things here:
I read a arguement between 2 people about a deal or whatever. And then I read like 50 posts of people who have actually nothing to do with that deal. I don´t think that is what this forum is about. I would never just comment on a topic that is not of my business. And also I see like 50 posts with one sentence from one writer. Just to make this post big. Just my opinion. Everyone can think different.

Then you asked about me. And any documentation. I don´t really mean to be rude, but what kind of documentation you want me to present. My passport, or other personal datas? Fell free to hit me in a private message and I am happy to serve you with personal information. But as long as we are not talking about a deal or anything, I just would not give you any documents about animals. In Germany posting stuff like Private messages (for example whatsapp messages, emails, letters,...) is not allowed, and I have to follow German laws. Because such communications are private and law fights for privacy. The same with any CITES documents showing other peoples personal datas. Those I cannot post here. But whoever writes me will get them.

Last but not least. On every post for animals you find my contact datas. Including cellphone number and homepage. In the impressum you find my adress and even my tax number. To be more open is hard to manage. And it would have been faster to find those information then to quote me here 2 times. It would be really simple to just contact me if you want more information. I have nothing to hide and I know this business long enought to know its though. But though does not include writing about someone or quoting someone without any reason. This is just not fair.

Cheers, Markus

Here we go with the "attacking me here" melodramatics. "One hit wonder" was not an insult. You posted once then disappeared. Funny, I anticipated your time zone comment. It certainly doesn't explain your first post which was entered at 6:12 pm. Just sayin'.

Markus,

Unfortunately, Thats how this BOI works. A person comes on with a dispute, right or wrong. Then a few of the regulars that like to agitate people come on. If you look at just a few of Chris's post you can see this is what he does. He has over 1,900 post with mostly one liners trying to get people riled up. He's a 51 year old man acting like he's 14 child that just discovered the internet. Just ignore him.

Then you get the few people that didn't like they way you responded, maybe you disagreed with them on Facebook etc. Nows their chance to say how they calmly corrected you on Facebook and you left them bad karma etc. How you didn't do this or that when you texted them etc.

You will also get the armchair attorneys and judges that have already decided your case. They know the laws in every state, the amount of fines etc. You can get a lot of great legal advise on this form.

The new one, that I haven't heard before was: "Tell his wife" This one had me chuckling. FYI My wife is fully aware of the arrangement that Mike and I have.

I will say the BOI has a few good regulars. They ask good questions and stay impartial.

It's always the ones who are wrong that get easily "agitated" by us "regulars". By all means Markus, do what your boss says and not as he does, and ignore me lol!
