"Diluting" BOI threads?

[WebSlave]

Wow, I love how you ignore everything I said on the matter but that. If I was given the same punishment and on the same boat DavidD was on, why is he a member there? And you can look at my profile there, no where does it say I'm "banned," like it would for anyone that was actually banned.

TBH

It appears that you have COMPLETELY missed their point.

That would be because he is 16 and thinks he knows it all. Eventually he will be like the rest of us old farts and realize that at 16 we really didn't know it all.

 

[FosterHerpetological]

yea, im 18, and definately know that I DO NOT know it all lol

I don't think it's fair to make it about age. He's not tipin lyk hez ritin a txt 2 his gf, he just has an opinion that is not terrifically well thought-out.

I love the people that "butt in." They are the ones that reveal hidden details or over looked facts. They bring different approaches and different views on topics. They help me see things from anothers point of view and I LOVE IT when they catch someone in a fib. God I love that part.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.......

I don't think he gets it Rich. Come to think of it, I don't think he will get it.

Considering the other BS he has spewed and lied about his age here.... I think its a fair conclusion.

Nah... I get it, I gave you all your credit.

Don't mean to be a smart but you're not an unrelated party, you're affiliated with the site. Lol... But yes, your statements are fair enough.

TBH

Not going to get into that on this thread but that's debatable and neither here nor there.

Nope... it goes to show your character.... or maybe a little lack of. You lied because you thought it would get you what you wanted. What makes this thread any different?

Its already been proven that your banned from the site that you think is better than this one.

In a ten minute conversation, 60% of people lie at least once. I'd be willing to bet hard cash you're not any different. So what? I didn't put my actual age up, but my age wasn't even public anyway. So I put incorrect info into a database? Who cares? Don't act like you've got a chip on your shoulder from it because unless you're one of the elite .5% of the population or just don't talk period, chances are you've already lied today. I honestly don't even know why I took the time to explain this to you, don't air dirty laundry on threads it's completely irrelevant to, kay? I asked a question, I accepted my answers after explaining my views and asking follow up questions, how did that shine negatively upon my character?

A. That's irrelevant to my opinion. B. Seriously, either start reading what I actually say or work on your reading comprehension.

I never claimed other sites "were better than his," just that I believed others had more efficient review formats.

@Rich - What I'm trying to say basically is that I understand the explanations given to me, thanks to Rich and Dennis for their posts, point taken.

Thread die now?

TBH

Lets see... Me and Dand had about a 30 min convo today... and I dont think I lied not one time. See the key is ... I actually care about my reputation, morals and ethics.

Its nice to see your happy being less than honest. I hold myself to a higher standard.

A. That's irrelevant to my opinion. B. Seriously, either start reading what I actually say or work on your reading comprehension.

I'd say its completely relevant. You wanted to talk about how Rich was running this site and said another site was better run (in reguards to the BOI type area)... but then a moderator dug up the fact that not only have you been banned here but over on the better site as well.

So as has been pointed out... one has to wonder what your motives are.

Okay, and what about every other conversation you've had today?

So you NEVER lie, decieve or neglect to tell people possibly helpful information? Okay...

Oh dear lord! How many times do I have to tell you I never said anything about that site being "better?" This thread isn't about questioning my character, I asked a valid question, I was answered... Viola! If you all focused on the question at hand instead of suspecting an "interior motive" to entirely discredit it, this thread wouldn't be past two pages and would have sunken to the bottom.

So as has been pointed out... one has to wonder what your motives are.

Asking a question and expecting a response?

TBH

 

[ThomasHicks]

Okay, since you seem to enjoy bringing up the fact that I didn't feel the need to put my actual DOB on my profile and like to question my character. I'm going to pull a B- card on the banner in your signature. You use terms like "We" when descibing your business yet there is absolutely no evidence of you working with anyone. You claim that "a friend occassionally helps you out." Even if that's true, how does that constitute the term "we?" Likely using that term to sound like a more legitimate biz.

I have a friend who helps me out every now and again with my cages, even got me a carpet python one time but they're not "our" snakes, nor would it be if I were to sell a couple clutches/snakes I lost interest in and call it a business.

Does your "friend" claim your business on his taxes? Does he help decide which morphs you breed to one another? Does he help sell them? Pack them? Has he ever had a prescense on any reptile related site? Etc... If the answer is "no" to a number of those questions... Guess what? You actually lied to people!

It's only fair that I can ask this since you question my character with questionable-at-best warrant that I get a shot at yours too.

TBH

 

[Southern Wolf]

Same thing as the convo with Dand

So you NEVER lie, decieve or neglect to tell people possibly helpful information? Okay...

Catherine... did I or did I not show you photos of my cresties accurately and in the process loose the sale. Thomas... you keep digging the hole and Im gonna fill it in on you.

I'm not talking specifically about this community, I'm talking about every conversation you have, anywhere. I find it highly doubtful that you don't ever lie. Even "justified" lies are still lies.

When you grow up you will realize that a friend can not claim someone elses business on thier taxes. Only the registered business owner can do that.

I have several folks that are support in my business... they do what needs to be done when I ask. They help build this business to what it is and what it will be. Therefore the WE because my friend has a standing inventation to become partner anytime he wants it. He has a key to my house and my reptile room (two seperate locks). He helps clean, he helps feed, he does anything I need done with the business when I cant.

I would have thought you learned your lesson the last time you tried to come after me... I guess not.

Now lets get this thread back on topic.

No, but they must claim any business profits.

So does that cover them taking credit for breeding, "paying greater attention to details" and selecting quality animals as well, as your site claims? Do they also offer "customer service and a database of information?" I could go on all day with your "we" claims...

We also believe that part of quality customer service is knowledge. We do our best to provide you with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision about our animals before the sale. We are the FIRST & currently the only breeder that offers you a database of information.

I would have thought you learned your lesson the last time you tried to come after me... I guess not.

A. "I didn't come after you," I commented on the sensibility of your actions and the thread. B. What lesson was to be learned that I didn't already know?

Now lets get this thread back on topic.

You made this peeing contest about character.

I have to chime in here since I was brought up in the subject matter... The BOI is one of the most useful tools for this industry and the responses from unrelated parties can trigger one or the other of the parties to "Change My Mind" on a future purchase. Also.. those unrelated parties that are posting most of the time will reveal their true personalities and the way a lot of them "Butt into the conversation" will determine my and I'm sure other's future dealings with them!

Kevin and I were working out a deal for a few of his animals and he took pictures which showed animals in their true form and was completely honest about them and Yes.. it may have lost him a sale at the time but if I ever see anything of Kevin's that I truly wanted and couldn't resist I would buy from him in an instant because he was completely up front with me!
