I was holding the kid until he sat down in the chair I told him to sit in. As soon as he sat in the chair that I told him to sit in I released him. That simple. That is what I was going to do, dont care what anyone else said. And of course, as soon as I did let go of the kids jacket, he ran away. And the guys you are saying wanted me to let him go, were the ones who grabed him up, pulled his hair, punched him, put him in a choke hold and tore his shoes and shirt off. So I stand by what I said. You are so offended by what happened two weeks later, but you had nothing to say at the time? Even though you were "standing right next to me"??? So what a major hipocrite to come on here now and attack me but god forbid you had any balls at all to say something when you were "standing right next to me". There is not one thing in this modern world of ours that I hate more than internet tough guys happy to insult and cast their little attacks online while they stand impotent in person. What courage it takes to attack somebody from a keyboard!!! I am old school. I was raised to do. People like John Apple who knows me knows that I would have loved nothing more than to beat that thieves' arse and let the police do something more worth their time. BUT in thiks weak willed, no personal responsiblity, bleeding heart, a-hole society that we now live in people like me who have a bad temper and a strong urge to bludgen those who wrong us, must always walk on ice and worry about everyones feelings, everyones' lawsuites and crying, whining dipsticks. Enough is enough.
And for Casey, just this Saturday at the Taylor show I had a guy steal a giant day gecko off my table. I immediately told the show promoters and they caught the guy and returned my animal in a few minutes. It was very well done.
On the only subject that this thread was about.... if anyone even cares, not only has the initial payment been refunded, but as I said would happen the buyer never mentioned that and yes I am losing the fees on the transactions. I know how paypal works. I have done thousands of transactions on paypal and have my own priority phone number to call that goes direct to a supervisor so I dont have to struggle with the India call center. And with the hold paypal placed on the transactions it went beyond the period alloted for a refund. I now have to send her money from my account and lose the fees. That was my point. I did not spell it out because others did but apparently alot of people are posting on this thread without reading many of the posts as they are asking the same questions and making the same statements over and over that have been answered and addressed many times.
