Gastro3003 aka Dr. Robert Brunner -- Scam Artist, Forger, Beware!

Actually, it is appropriate. I don't wish to have a 3% PayPal fee deducted from my payment as well as the possibility of Dr. Brunner filing a frivolous PayPal claim that may further lock up my funds.

He is not your friend. Using 'friends and family' when the transaction is actually a business transaction amounts to theft imho because Paypal does not get its rightful cut. There is a 'refund' selection, it may have certain requirements.

Actually, it is in fact not relevant at all, and to argue to the contrary as you are doing is a complete distraction to the subject matter on hand, which is far more serious.

If Dr. Brunner wishes to provide an example where I somehow switched names when dealing with him and perpetrated fraud towards him, I welcome him to come forward. I was extremely straightforward and honest in dealing with him, and I fully expected the return of the $1300 owed and his ring, which was used as collateral, to be returned to him. These were the terms of our deal, which he did not honor, hence the creation of this thread.

Instead, Dr. Brunner chose to perpetrate fraud by forging a death certificate on behalf of Parrots of the World claiming that the tortoise I sold him had died. Here, we are talking about a medical professional who has knowingly engaged in fraud by impersonating a respected veterinary establishment.

Robert is more than welcome to mail me cash or provide me with a bank check -- I'm fine with those options, as well.

It is relevant because it shows how easily you yourself embrace fraudulent behavior. There is not always one Bad Guy in a Bad Guy thread.

Where and how exactly have I "embraced fraudulent behavior?" Do tell.

You have a picture of the fugazi ring? Wedding bands are usually engraved as well. If it's fake it'll prove once and for all that he's gone full scam artist.

Incorrect. By posting a BOI thread, you open yourself up to the same scrutiny as your target. Perhaps a Mod will choose to weigh-in and educate you.

People very well may be interested in the fact that you chose to obscure the name that you seem to use everywhere else I've found you online - even on another Fauna account you'd previously created. It definitely jumped out at me. People may also find it interesting that you're choosing to disavow any knowledge about Stephen Douglas, who also used your columbia.cs@gmail.com email address. In my eyes, the denial is probably more noteworthy than the actual tactics you'd used to generate traffic. While it may not take away from your claims against Brunner, it's info that people can use to make informed decisions about anyone directly involved with this thread. It's quite possible that I'm part of a very small minority that finds it meaningful, but that doesn't make it irrelevant.

I disagree.
Since you are using this site to pursue your issue with Dr Brunner, you are subject to the rules of this site...and questions about your name are certainly relevant to that concern.
