ED CLARK what a piece of work!

Meanwhile trying to remember the topic….
This is the thread where we are waiting for John Martino of RMJ Reptiles to figure out a way to come on and verify Mr. Clark’s debt to him is it not?

The way I see it he has quite a task since at the same time he must figure out a way to, (a) disassociate himself from Mr. Belcher so as not to taint his and Mr. Clark’s reputation and (b) not provide Mr. Clark or Mr. Belcher with any ammo they can use against him.
I’ll bet falsifying testimony is hard when you have three people in the mix that all need to be protected. Especially when you have at least two in the mix that are untrustworthy.
I can almost hear the frantic phone calls going back and forth and see the emails being exchanged.

“Say this”
“No No!!! That makes me look bad!!”
“But if I don’t say something like this I’ll look bad.”
“Yes but if you say XX then I’m gonna look worse.”
“Well if you say ZZZ I’m gonna out you for ….”

See, I always said Mr. Dove was a very insightful man!!

Come on guys, you know Ed doesn't flip animals. He produces everything he sells.

So this thread has served a purpose. Not only will I avoid dealing with Allen Belcher and Ed Clark, but also John Martino of RMJ Reptiles in NJ as well.

Another good ting to come out of this thread is finding out that John Michael Martino out of Long Island is a different entity all together. You work with arboreals, don't you, John?

Oh good grief, I promised myself that I was gonna stay out of this mess but, I contacted John and here's the email.

D. None of the Above.

Too shady for my tastes....I'll just stay away from that trio. Who needs the drama?

Off topic: Anyone who wants to discuss sexism in threads, go to HELL (not really Hell, you know...the HELL forum). Here's the link:http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...587#post663587

Agreed. Four different points of view....four completely different stories...and not a single one of them apparently willing or able to actually step up and answer any questions or provide any proof of what they say. What a mess.

If sexism rears its ugly head in a topic then that topic is an appropriate place for the offending comment to be addressed. No one saved retaliation to the racist comments in natalies thread for the hell forum and with good reason. Such comments are needlessly unkind and thoughtless. Sexism isn't going to stop if it just gets swept under the rug. People need to understand that these comments are hurtful and the people who say them are no better than natalie and her husband.
