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.

Gilbert Thompson - Very UNPROFESSIONAL
Two or three weeks ago, I posted a 2001 female 100% het Albino for sale. Mr. Thompson contacted me and asking for information. I provided all information to him, but didn't hear from him after the respond.
Just this Monday, I re-posted her after two deals felt through. Mr. Thompson contacted me again on Tuesday, asked if I still remember him, since he had contacted me in the past regarding the same boa. Of course I do. He then asking some questions, along with my phone number so that he can discuss with me. I responded to his questions, and provided my phone number on same day. Then there's no communication, until this morning I heard from him again, and these are exchanged emails

I will not waste anymore time with this as I have enought to do already. You know what was said done and I will leave it at that. I should have known a typical slant eyed, mongaloid move.

I don't know what's up with the name calling thing, but we all know that "You snooze, you loose". Also, we know better what we makes out of ASSUME. All I can say is SELLER BEWARE!!!

John,
You are right. You snooze you lose. Nothing is done until payment is made or agreed upon and it does not sound like you made any deal or arrangement on the animal. I would like to see the e-mails prior to those just to have all the information.
Gilbert,
What is up with that kind of behavior? I thought you had changed acting like a child and name calling? It looks like you might have only changed on he BOI in public. You owe John a giant apology and had no right to make those kind of comments to him EVER! . I can understand being upset that you could not get an animal but acting like a spoiled child about it gets you no where but back in the limelight on the BOI.

Thanks for showing us Gilbert's true colors, John. It's terribly sad that such ignorance is still so prevalent. I hope someone has made Gilbert aware of this thread. It will be interesting to see if or how he justifies his comments.
....and some people thought George Bush made Texas look bad....

Gee...I (and I am sure a lot of other members here) am shocked and appalled! Gilbert has acted with less than consumate professionalism!
I hope I managed to actually get the sarcasm to drip there...I was trying my best.
The link below will take you to a thread that allowed us all to first see the many faces of Gilbert.

You know gilbert, if John was not a man perfectly capable of taking care of himself and was instead a woman(and no slight intended to your gender here ladies, I'm just sort of old fashioned sometimes) I'd bitchslap your dumbass mouth so hard you'd see stars until next tuesday.
So much for born again. How typical.
And for the record, I am getting that female boa from John, she's sweet and I got a great deal on her.
You, pathetic peon that you are, LOSE!!!!
I'll post pictures of her babies next year and you are MOST ASSUREDLY on my DO NOT sell to list.

That's pretty funny....especially considering all the "done deals" that Gilbert has backed out of. He did it to me last year with a pair of gaigeae and he's done it to several others as shown in his other thread.
He owes you a big apology for his racist remarks and for just being an ass in general.

WOW!!! The welcomeing committe! Yes, I said that racisit comment to John. At the time, I was upset and meant every word of it. I contacted John in regards to this boa the first time. He informed me of it having a rep. infection. That caused me to be leary so I waited on talked to a few friends. After talking with a few friends I was informed it was more than likely not a big deal. I saw the boa posted again so I responded. He told me that he had to check with a guy in regards to it still being available. John did and emailed me and said it was availbale. I told him that was great and to send me his contact info. I then turned around maybe a day or two later (I will have to check.) and he tells me he may have a local sell. I thought this was wrong because I felt if he checked with another guy why not check with me, right??
I then sent him an email stating that I was no longer interested no matter what. He then sends me an email stating I would sure like to see this promise I made. I then lashed out and was a jerk.
I will go back and hopefully I didn't delete the emails from him.
