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.

Then go ahead and call him and ask him why he mentioned robbery and suffering. If you think he did this to explain his lost love of the hobby to someone he's angry at who robbed his son, they I would interject that view might be naive. And to think otherwise would disregard his skilled methods to cover/hide such implications within the letter. And what matters actually is how it was interpreted and conveyed to me. Regardless, the terms of purchase were for live arrival when delivered on time with express delivery service. They were not replacement nor refund if he killed one by over feeding it against my advice. Pretty plain and simple actually.

Dan, I also read and re-read that letter.....and all I see is his commentary on why he got out of the hepr hobby himself, scammers and thives. To think otherwise, I believe may be paranoia.

No, no no! It's obvious that the boy's father is just [i] so skilled[/b] at the art of making subtle, almost hidden threats that nobody except Dan can even percieve that they exist.

My company extended a live arrival guarantee to include a free 5th skink providing the buyer with 5 skinks for the discount price of 4 skinks.
Not paranoid, just simply not willing to consider and further extension of the guarantee after the buyers followed through on their threats to harm my companies reputation.

Thanks and I appreciate everyones input and suggestions, and despite I agreed to provide a free 5th specimen, that offer stood until I was bullied and threatened.
And it's not relevant/important if I did or did not misinterpret that letter. What's important is that the buyer did not succeed at numerous threats to extort funds.

Dan, there's a forest, and then there's trees. Penny wise and pound foolish ? I could go on, but it would only add to the drivel. Good luck getting this one behind you.

On the other hand, LOTS of people will bluff their butts off about filing a lawsuit up till the time they discover just exactly how expensive it is to do so. So what are the damages in this case? Enough for someone to spend $20 grand just to get some satisfaction? Most attorneys wouldn't put themselves in the position of having the judge ask them why they are wasting the court's time on such a frivolous affair. So if letters are even sent, the attorney is just trying to bluff the OP into settling for what their client wants. They would have NO intention of actually taking it into court.
