    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy Wendy Childs, Reptile Addictions

Why respond at all? Or why be so polite? Tell them its none o their concern.

Exactly. I was given no indication that I was 'bothering' him, so how exactly was I supposed to know? If I had been told to "mind my buisiness", that's exactly what I would've done, and I would not have contacted them again. I thought we were just having a normal conversation. I am sorry if it was not taken this way.
 
Are you seriously trying to paint me as supporting Wendy's actions? I don't jack about dart frogs, and I never ever said the Jade was wrong in being so dogged in her attempts to get WENDY to tell the truth... The only thing I've taken issue is the way she acted with the customer, and if she is to be believed that she only PM'd the one, they were very much dissatisfied with the encounter and found it to be an invasion of space, just like I definitely would if I'd been in that person's place. None of which even matters or is relevant, so I'm not exactly sure why everyone wants to argue my opinion with me so badly. There's no doubt in my mind that if the dendro experts say that frog is a MC and not a BJ, it's a MC. The only question now is whether Wendy mislabelled it intentionally or unintentionally.
 
Well, if none of it matters or is relevant (which I agree with), then why do you keep bringing it up, when we had moved on to discussing the frogs in question again?
 
I'm done, this isn't MY bad guy thread and it's not my battle to fight. I thought you came off as pestering in your PM's and so, apparently, did the buyer. You don't think you did, and are willing to keep arguing with me about it (pestering). The end. That is the extent of this ordeal. Can we please get back to Wendy, now? Has anyone seen her online anywhere since the dendro expert posted, anyways?

Here's the thing though. Lets say... Im the customer. IF Im all nice and polite to Jade... and then I go complaining to Wendy... then I as the customer have no-one to blame but myself.

I could have just as easily said.... thanks, but I'll handle it.

IF the text messages that were posted were from the same person that she chatted with via PM.... then that person is to blame... not Jade.
 
Ok guys, that's enough off topic discussion about Jade's PMs. Time to let it rest. This includes the off topic posts informing someone else their post was off topic.

I'm new here, so I assume you are a 'mod' posting an 'on/off topic' post about off topic posts about off topic posts? Really?

Ummm...Rich...new or not, this post doesn't make the least bit sense. I totally get where you're coming from regarding Wendy and the frogs...and I agreed with you about the distracting posts regarding Jade's PM's. So WHY ON EARTH would you sneer at a MOD for "officially" reminding all participants to stay on topic just as you'd already been trying to do? :NoNo:

WENDY....you've got some serious explaining to do. Avoiding the issue won't make it any better for you.
 
:rolleyes:

This will be my last off topic post.

If one does not see the irony in someone, MOD or not, posting off topic, on top of off topic, on top of off topic...then I guess I'll just ask you why you chose to add to the off topic posts.:rolleyes:
 
I think we are all , or at least should be, in concurance that Wendy is not someone anybody should be doing business with.
Is this not what this forum is all about? Outing dirtbag dealers?
Done deal .
That is unless Wendy pops back in here, in which case I'll have some real on topic post fun.
 
Wow, I come to post a good guy thread about someone involved in this thread, of course NOT Wendy as I wouldnt do business with her and looks what rears its ugly head. At first, it looks like Wendy is honestly trying to change and make a better life for herself. Like Lucille and everyone else, I was thinking of visiting her store and doing the whole ass-kissing lunch thing.

Well, I am glad I kept reading only to see that the fraudulent and forging Wendy rear its ugly head, yet again. For those ON the Wendy bandwagon, yes a convicted fraudulent past has tons of merit with this particular person as they continue to commit fraud by selling something that it deceitfully isnt. If you honestly think Wendy "made a mistake" while being so precise about the species, its because YOU choose to ignore her past, not because she is ignorant.

As for the buyer of the frogs here in Oklahoma that bought some frogs from Wendy, I have done business with him. I am sure he is a very private individual and most likely is the one who sent the text messages to Wendy. Honestly though, so what. He most likely did NOT want his named dragged in here because of Wendy's reputation. For that, who could blame him. Its sort of like foolin around with the ugly chick at school just because shes we could, we all did one whether we want to admit it or not.
