This individual has contacted me several times regarding one animal. Every time feels like a
50 First Dates sort of experience, so I am not sure if something is going on with that. If so, I hope wellness is achievable and I wish the best luck to him in his fight for it.
The most recent time, I accepted an offer proposal. However, over ten days passed after that and the party failed to follow through. To close the loop and not leave things in a weird open-ended space in case he might think he could revisit this at some extreme later date, I sent him a message. I had grown tired of his antics and decided that I would like to avoid doing business with him and I feel I expressed this pretty clearly.
Of particular note: I will be removing one piece of information from my message only because of the rules for this section of the site regarding anonymous third-party quotation.
This may cause a mild information gap that is not central to my direct issue with the party this thread is about. I am as much subject to said rules as anyone. For that one piece of information, I will place a note of where it was removed and why so as to remain in compliance. If another party wishes to weigh in regarding anything I may have removed to be in compliance, so be it, but I do not wish to force anyone into a bed they have not made. Also, since I am a direct party in this situation, I will not be acting in the capacity of a moderator within the confines of this thread.
I attempted to let this person burn himself out of his episode, but at the time of this post we are at 22 emails received (for just this time; he has also contacted me regarding the animal before, but I consider that tangential) and I stopped after my ninth response because spending more energy and time was not looking probable for achieving effective communication. With the juvenile threats and other petty behavior, I figure that posting this may save others from a potential headache. While I do believe he may be capable of performing successful transactions, he proved incapable in this particular instance and so I consider our ways best parted.
Please judge for yourself based on the communications therein. I obviously have already reached my own conclusion, but I only decide for myself freely just as others should decide for themselves.
The attached image is a screenshot of the within-24hr message volume showing reply cessation. Emails themselves are in text format. I can generate screenshots if necessary to contest anything in particular. He started sending multiple responses to the same messages, so there is some divergence of chains for the messages I replied to. I will post the two chains to which I responded and then individual emails I have no bothered to respond to. I apologize in advance for any spelling or grammatical errors in my messages.

Nobody has said that, and that is the reason you cannot name names.
You get caught, now, just apologize. Like an adult. This will be a good learning experience.
In my line of work, I often push thru contracts worth tens of millions of dollars. Only you have ever made such a claim.
And now you are digging out.
Just apologize

I have spoken with every single person that has ever done any business with me about your ranting.
Every single person says they have never had any issues. You need to provide a backdrop for your accusations as they are vague and broad.
Everybody seems to think you are a loose cannon and I should just drop it. And I will. But it should be heavily documented that you are a proven liar.
I have informed everyone about this situation and sent them your messages. It comes as no surprise to most.
Now everyone who I have ever spoken with is aware of you, and your unprofessional ranting.
This certainly will not serve u well
I intend to do a mass email later today and send your ranting out to the entire reptile community, along with your attack on me.
I have 213 emails for the reptile/exotic pets community. Everyone should beware of a loose cannon like you, and they will be. They need to know

This is very serious being the amount of transactions and money that I have invested in my farm.
Everyone I know is denying any involvement, you have an obligation to pass the complaint to me for review
