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.

Money isn't everything, but it is a tool to show one's ethics. Not paying attention to someone's behavior in order to get something you want can get really sticky really quickly. Where is the line drawn, if there is a line at all? Basically, this is sort of similar to the guys in Charlottesville that were identified and lost their jobs as soon as it was known they were there. They could easily have said "Well, they work hard and do a good job while they're here." You say something about yourself by choosing who you associate with and those employers obviously chose not to be associated with white supremacists. I think many people will choose not to associate themselves with someone who is bigoted towards others. Although hell, it might get him extra business from some of our less enlightened brethren.

As a business owner I get the awesome choice to do business with whoever I want. Yes I would do business with someone who messed up once with one message. If someone has an amazing animal that I want then I’m going to do business with them. Again I could care less about your religion, who you talk to, what your gender is, or how you talked to someone in the past. It doesn’t concern me what concerns me is the animal. Did OP sell a wrong animal, scam someone, sell a sick animal, no. He went off on someone and yes he shouldn’t have but he did. Did the “buyer” get annoyed because he wanted to buy an animal but never committed or put any money down yes. The buyer sounds like a waste of time. It’s always first come first serve. If your don’t want to do first come first serve with your business you don’t have too just know that’s how most business operate. I’m not saying what Mitch did was right but I’m not saying OP was in the right either.
