    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

You are lying. If you spoke to an attorney, he or she would tell you to stop talking here, and let them handle any issues. That is obviously not happening.
As well, you name and address are public information.
Nice try.

The school is not going to side with people on a reptile forum verses someone they have known for 3 years who is in there graduate program.

Your wasting your time. If anything your annoying busy people, and that can be considered borderline harassment.

The school has free legal services and thats how the law students get practice. I am writing to them right now.

I am well aware of how law students get practice ;)


It is illegal to post someones name and address for ridicule on a public forum.

You have no lawyer advising you of what is legal because a lawyer would never allow you to keep posting here, the posting of your address looks like it was done to warn others, so their snakes would not come into your possession.
 
I can go to any show and buy any number of reptiles I want. That is what I am doing from now on so I can inspect each animal. I am not buying anything online anymore

If you keep to your "word".. THAT will be the 1st good idea you've come up with since this entire fiasco started...
 
Thomas, did you pull an all-nighter?

1. I will happily refund your money, and accept Yellow back, given the conditions mentioned ad nauseous in this thread.

2. This thread is labeled as information, about a specific transaction I had with you. The only one who has subjected you to ridicule is yourself, through the way you have chosen to carriy yourself here. I have not ridiculed you. OTOH, I have been called lots o' names, been accused of selling sick snakes, not having a concern for animals, etc. all of this is available, here, in this thread, as it will be (for all to see), forever.

3. You said you were abandoning the property...is that accurate?

Thank you for your responses. I appreciate your time.
 
Oh, and when you inspected her before your response to me on the 10th and again when you fed her on the 22nd, you said she was fine, with minimal wobble.

Is ham-handedly shoving a tube down their throats going to be part of your inspection process? Seeing how well that worked out for you in this situation, I'm sure subjecting them to ridiculous amounts of stress will now be part of your repertoire. Gotta weed out the weak ones (that were perfectly fine before you came along), right? :rolleyes:

I have a feeling that this thread's very existence will play some part in helping you keep your promise regarding online business.
As of right now, this thread shows up on page 6 of a Google seach for your name, Thomas. Wonder how long it'll take to make it to the first page? I guess we'll find out.
This thread, as well as the one on B-P.net have made their way up to page 3 on a Google search of your name. Much like what your "care" of this snake has brought about, a lot can change in just under 3 weeks, eh, Thomas?

I'm seriously not ridiculing you, but do your school a favor and use spell check for your spelling and grammar. I'm not a grammar police type, but you have mentioned you are in their graduate program and have made numerous errors while telling us that in your opinion UT would forsake all notions of right or wrong and side with you merely because you are in their program.

It could be worse. I only accept quality animals into my collection. People will see that. Plus with my new "only show" plan I am only going to be selecting the best animals.

This is just a small bump in the road. It will be a year before I get my own hatchlings and by then it won't matter anymore. I am probably going to start selling at shows and then just off of my own website.

This ain't going to mean anything.

If anything it shows the expectation I have.

Yeah...If you honestly believe any of that nonsense, the term "delusional" doesn't even come close to being an appropriate description of whatever mental dysfunctions you appear to have. :crazy03:

When you decide to start selling from your website, you may want to make sure the WHOIS data can't be traced to you, and also assume a fake name. Once prospective buyers do a Google search on you - and many will - they're going to see that any interaction with Thomas Dorn is far more trouble than it could possibly be worth.
 
I bet Texas A&M would be interested in what kind of people UT considers its best. Really, I'm surprised he is still parading his ignorant accusations here.

Low blow Lucille :raspberry

Thomas, I think you need to step away from your computer and take a hard look at yourself. Acting like a child won't improve your reputation and will not get you far in life or the academic world.

Also, just because you're a UT student does not mean that the law students will give a lick about you or give you any special treatment.

Here's hoping for all the best for this poor snake.

How? They pay me I send them a quality animal, that they can return within 30 days?

I think you mean if someone trys to send me a bad animal and then does not honor their agreement. It's funny I would think this about Rob, and possibly you.

More trouble then it's worth means someone posting about you on this public defamation board against your will. That means rob, and it includes you. No body is going to want to buy on a site that may eventually have to speak to you. Or anyone else on here who is completely ignorant of the facts.

Your the one that is delusional because you like to get involved in other peoples affairs.

Everyone is going to say there group is right and the other group is crazy. Thats how people operate.

Hey I am my own lawyer I don't need a student lawyer. I just need to know what I need to do, and then I can do it on my own. Or at least know where to read what I need to do.

I don't have to change my ways. You people need to accept reality. You have a group hive mentality. It's due to your own ignorance. My reputation will be built on quality animals. Not hearsay on a forum where people like to gossip because they have nothing better to do.
 
Bobby's on to something. Thomas, can you please post a video, when you get a chance?

There are only a few things that could have happened here, Thomas:

1. The snake has severe 'Spider Wobble', but showed little/none of this before December 23 (18 days after you received her and one day after you force-fed her). If she does show severe Spider Wobble, what took it 18 days to manifest? I offered to pay for testing, but you haven't had any done.

2. The snake is fine.

3. The snake was injured while in your care.

Which scenario happened, Thomas, or is there one I am not thinking of?

I'd really like to know which case is closest to accurate.

I have read this entire thread, and do not chime in too often. You, sir, have some serious issues in dealing with "real" people. Work on your people skills.

You sound like a little school boy who didn't get his way and wants to cry to others about it. I am sure that your "professors" would love to put their good names and degrees behind someone that they have known for only 3 years through academia to support that person----NOT!! Reading this thread will definitely open their eyes to who they are truly dealing with as their student, and let them know that education goes further than just physics. People skills are extremely necessary.

If you thnk that they would be so one-sided as to automatically support your position without reading this thread and coming to the conclusion that you are in the wrong, you truly have a lot to learn. Keep bringing your book bag, and this reptile forum will keep taking you to school. :rofl:

By the way, I truly hope that Yellow is still alive and it would be very helpful for you to post a new picture of her with an index card stating today's date, as previously requested. It shouldn't be that difficult for a "graduate" student to figure out how to do that, and it shouldn't be too hard for you to understand why it would be important to those reading this thread to see a current, dated picture of her.

Furthermore, how come a "graduate" student doesn't know the difference between "there" and "their"? Your graduate program professors must not expect much out of you if they accept that kind of spelling error in the papers you turn in. I realize that you may be typing fast and all, but that kind of error from a "graduate" student should not be occurring under any circumstances. Like I said before, "Keep bringing your book bag, and this forum will keep taking you to school". :ack2:
