Another BAD GUY post for Robert Sloan/Hilliard

Cant edit my post. Feel free to delete this whole thread. Thanks. Robert Sloans a great guy you should all buy snakes from him.

Come on, man. I have gotten an infraction before because I screwed up, too. I learned from it. Not that big a deal.

No, Mike ... Sloan is not a good guy anyone should deal with. AVOID him at all costs, so again, thanks for the heads-up.

As for infractions; I've been here awhile and have accumulated a bunch of my own infractions... even from the owner of the site, lol. But I listened and learned. Please continue to contribute. All input is important .. if only to weed out and shed light on breeders/sellers/scammers to avoid and prospective buyers to avoid as well.

I agree, Laura.

To all - Before going further, I think tensions are currently running high on the frustration with the namesake of this thread, so I do not want to pile on. It would be cool of us to extend Mike a bit of a break since he has received correct explanations for the rules from various members, so let us try to move beyond that and continue the thread's primary topic if we can. I say that as a fellow member of this community I greatly value. It is tougher when the wound is still fresh and that is how this feels from my perspective, so frustrations feel compounded.

Thank you. The BOI only works if people step up and share their experiences.

I agree with Nick and thanks Mike for bringing this to light! Just the short conversation you guys had was enough for me to realize, I want nothing to do with the guy.

Again, thanks Mike!

Can you explain or show how it was brought to your attention?

The guys over the top logo on his message stream and immediate jump to threats seems almost staged. If the reaction is real, the guy needs help but using someone else photo for rare or highly protected species screams scam...or bait.

It was mentioned by a few people on facebook. I would quote directly (I know how "I heard somebody say it somwewhere" sounds) but I cannot remember where or who exactly said it.

Thanks, I found the references by looking for "Robert Hilliard" and "Robert Sloan scarlet". Not going to post SS though because I'd be all day bleeping out the cuss words, that man is hated by many!
