Which one are you referring to Allen?

I believe Allen is referring to John Martino.
About a year ago, I inquired about some phantoms John had for sale. Turns out he was partnered with Allen on the project and the animals would be shipped from Big Daddys. That was enough for me. I decided I didn't want to take a chance and since then have decided I do not want to chance a purchase from John in the future since his animals are co-mingled with Allens.

I heard Big Daddy was selling mystics as phantoms.

Do either of these parties really have anything to gain or lose here?

Really Ed? People are asking you ligitimate questions and your just full of smarta** remarks?

Could please simply answer the people...good lord...

there is almost nothing higher on my list of dislikes than someone who avoids a direct, concise, clear, question.




Seriously... you would think one of them would be interested in maintaining face, and at least trying to appear the bigger man.
Or would at least try to avoid stooping to the others level of immaturity.

Wouldn't that make you look more professional/intelligent/or even just plain likable?...wait..or are those bad things to be when running your own business?


Before seeing this nonsense, i'm sure there would ave been many people who considered making purchases from either party..
I'll admit Mr. Clark usually has some really nice photographs in his ads, and that gives his animals a clean healthy look.

*on a side note Mr. Belcher's photos usually look enhanced in his ads on KS .. anyone else notice?



I will never purchase an animal from either of these characters

That sucks if John Martino of RMJ is partnered with Allen. I bought my first bps (pastel and a spider) from John a couple of years ago. They're great animals - both take f/t and are (so far) very healthy and well on their way to making some bees for me.

If John and Allen are really partnered though, I will definitely not be buying from John again. Too bad as my first dealing with him was flawless.

Hopefully, that will settle the question of which John Martino to whom Allen was referring.

Allen... how bout posting some proof... since Ed is not gonna answer any questions.

You gotta understand, that's just how Ed works. It seems to be an incapability with him, even if asked nicely. And if you're a woman and ask him something, you might just get attacked.

Read some of his other threads, you'll see.

Both of them seem to have left the building. I guess this was just a lot of noise with no substance.

I think it more falls along the lines that Allen doesn't have as much proof as he says. It also seems that Ed is afraid to say to much because he doesn't know how much proof they have.

Gotta love the irony of the whole thing though.
