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.

Look at it this way Tricia.
Your cousin salito comes to visit you from New York. He has been in trouble many times for lying and deception. He's been caught stealing more than two or three times as well. But he's your friend.
Now, while you're at the grocery with cousin salito, picking up dinner fixin's, a nice little old lady comes by with her purse open and he wallet in plain sight. Cousin salito remarked that it was easliy seen.
Not too long after his comment you see the poor little old lady talking to the manager, more like crying to the manager because she has lost her wallet. She doesn't know where it could have gotten to.
Before you and cousin salito got to the store you were going to have to buy the beer because he was broke. However, when it came time to check out he bought a bottle of tequila.
Before cousin salito came to stay with you his ex-girlfriend called and told you that he had been ripping off old people, stealing their money with some sort of phone scam and that she thought he had even stolen a purse or two and so did the cops.
On the way home you see cousin salito throw out a purse that looks just like the one the little old lady had in the grocery store. He was trying to be sneaky but you saw it plain and simple. You know he ripped off the nice little old lady, there is no doubt in your mind he did it. He's your friend though, don't forget that.
The cops come knocking on your door to ask if you know anything about the missing purse. You say you don't. He's your friend.
Somehow the little old lady, the nice one from the market, finds out that you live in the neighborhood and she stops by to ask if you know anything about her missing money. It's all she has until the 2nd of next month. She's on Social Security.
Now what?
It may be a little out of context but harboring a criminal is harboring a criminal.
salito is not some dumb kid that stole some candy. He's a REPEAT offender.
gubitz is covering for him.

Neil
How is Neil covering for him?? From what I can tell, Neil is HELPING him paying off his debts! I would tell the friend to make it right, and if that friend didn't, I would make it right for him/her. I would do everything in my power to make it right...One way or another. I think your ANALOGY is comparing apples to oranges..

ok ...
So he didnt steal some nice lil old ladies money in which you would turn him in a minute ....
but since he stole money from MANY people which some as of this afternoon had not been paid back ( they posted it and so did someone else on a person for a bad check)
So since that is a "faceless crime" its ok to help him out?????
Wether its reaching in a purse to steal it .... yaking it off your dresser to get it or TAKE it over the internet where he doesnt see them face to face that makes it all ok?
Where is Sal? i thought he said he was gonna answer all the questions people were going to ask?

Does that mean you're going to turn him in for stealing $600 from Shannon and $125 from Mike?
At what point do his crimes become serious enough?

OMG
OK~
Well, I just got off the phone with Neil a little while ago, and ya know what??? I think he is a stand up guy...Yes, I am new to this site, but I cannot stand by and watch everyone jump on a bandwagon bashing someone who did something, in my opinion, is admirable. I would proud to be able one day to call Neil my friend. From what I see, Ya all need to bash other's people reputations and actions, because ya all have some skeletons in your closets!!!!

Ticia,
You are comparing apples and oranges, by not understanding Wes's comparision, which is a great one I must say.
Neil is aiding and abedding a known criminal period. How someone cannot see this is beyond me. I am all about helping my friends and do so in anyway I can. My friends would never commit a crime and I would not have to cover for them, so I would never be put in Neils situation. i would never be friends with someone like Sal in the first place. That is the difference between me and Neil and anyone else like him. A criminal would not be my friend period. There is no excuse for breaking the law.

Tricia,
I agree, as I said on this very thread about what Neil did was a nice thing for a friend.
Like you said, you are NEW to this site. How many searches have you done on Neil and or his companies? JUST WONDERING. I have no first hand info on anyting Neil does when it comes to reptiles and I agree, every thread that has his name in it turns into a circus.
I have not bought anything from Neil before, but we have had some talks via email and things are fine.
Just find it tough for someone to come on here as a "new" person and tell everyone they do not know what they are talking about. I WOULD SAY THE SAME THING if someone came on here as a 'new' person and said the same to Neil OR anyone else. Just a heavy statement/s you made for someone who obviously does nnot know the history, good or bad.
In closing, welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy the circus!
