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.

I definitely agree that this site works, I feel he is in the wrong in this situation. Before this thread, I was actually looking at some of his stuff. Now, I wouldn't even consider buying one of his animals, from someone else. I'm sure he doesn't need my money anyway.

Sad to say, he's failed many times in this incident at being the "bigger man" one expects from any properly run business.

I think there is much more to this issue than pride gone wrong.
Prior to his debacle with Michelle, there is the whole question of the legality of Ty's part in this raffle in the first place.
And after it, the unwholesome excuses given by Ty and the IRCF where each made unsuccessful (IMHO) campaigns to try to exculpate their poor behavior and try to take the heat off of their own situations by focussing on the supposed untouchable holiness of non profit where any complaint against them would be a sin, which fortunately most people saw through immediately..

Having pride is a sin ??? First time I ever heard that. Wow, I see that as completely ass-backwards.
To me it's the absence of pride that could be considered is a sin. The absence of pride in your self, what you do and treating others in a disrespectful / dishonest way could be considered 'a sin' ... like Mr. Parks has been doing.
I guess we just see 'pride' differently ...

Pride is one of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in traditional Christian teachings.
I agree with you though; people should take more pride in what they do, not less. If more leaders and business people's actions were motivated by pride instead of greed (another "deadly sin") the world would be a much better place.

Exactly what Herpin said. The idea of pride being a sin is based on the definition of pride being "An excessive admiration of self", not the definition we're used to in regular day to day speech which is taking satisfaction in one's achievements. The sin of pride is more like being full of yourself than taking pride in your achievements.

I think Ty is hoping it will go away. I think that's an excellent reason to keep the thread going - it should only recede when he has made right on his obligation.

Bolded for emphasis, as that was the way in which I was using the term at the very start of this conversation, which has since been taken out of context - even though it is still an accurate statement. Again, the deadly sins are all in EXCESS. Normal amounts of pride means taking pride in your work / pleasing others / doing good. TOO MUCH pride means you believe you can do no wrong, don't need help with anything, basically no one can do it like you so they can just go bleep themselves. Two guesses where Ty falls under the pride spectrum in my book.
And back on point and to the OP; any word on court stuff yet? At least any vague idea from your attorney? I'm anxious to see where this goes. I'm sure not as anxious as yourself though.

All I can say is my attorney has filed a motion and were just waiting on a hearing on the motion.
I don't have to go till trial if there even is one.
