Bad Guy AC Reptiles - Anthony Caponetto VERY HARASSING! etc

[JCCS]

And at the end of the day, Anthony, you just are a grown man playing with lizards just like the rest of us, so get over yourself.

 

[Clawsonreptiles]

Beneath you, indeed.... Look up the term "megalomania" when you get a chance. You appear to be a text book example.

Anyway, hit the road, fella. It's optional for you at the moment, so please take advantage of making this YOUR choice instead of mine. Wouldn't want to sully your lily white fingers by having to type messages into my nasty little website, now would we? So begone.

Wow I am shocked. I used to think that integrity abounded here. Now that "WEBSLAVE", Forum Owner if i understand correctly, has decided to publicly threaten a member of the forum in violation of BOI RULES.

Threatening a member highlighted in green.

*Actual or implied threats to another member - 5 points.
Threats in public are an indication of someone who just is not welcome on my site. Although this warning will be used as needed, more often then not, a severe case of threats will simply result in the person making the threats being fined and suspended immediately.

And has made Prejudicial remarks highlighted in Blue again violating his own BOI RULES.

*Racist / Prejudicial Remarks - 4 points.
Pretty self explanatory. No one really likes to see this sort of thing and this site is no exception. This is another warning event that that you need to take heed of. Generally a second offense will mean a suspension.

Threatening to through someone off a Board where there is a system laid out for infractions because they disagree with how things are done stinks of "nepotism."

Anthony may be wrong for his comments but unless you are a clinical phycologist or psychiatrist maybe we should keep to the original intent of the BOI and not disparage a group of people per your rules.

As for the OP we are all still waiting on screenshots proving your STORY?

Actually, let me clarify my way of thinking for anyone wondering

I'm the third largest crested gecko breeder on the planet, we have the LARGEST SELECTION OF CRESTED GECKOS ON THE WEB, I have pioneered and named many of the morphs in the hobby today, and I am well-respected in the hobby. And quite frankly, I am above this website and all the BS that is perpetuated on it.

If Rich and Dennis and all the other moderators want to continue to humor scum like Ed Clark and John Moore, then they can have it.

And if Rich really wanted to run the scum out of our hobby, he would quit giving them a place to hang out and feel welcome.

And I care? Not really. I don't give a rat's ass if you're the King of Crested Geckos. Your "holier than thou" attitude really makes me want to buy from you... Actually, no, it makes me feel sorry for you because you think you're big , when in reality, you ain't .

If you're so against this site, then get your sorry butt out of it. Quit replying and quit worrying about what someone says about you on here. Apparently it's "beneath" you, so why bother?

Don't let the door hit you where the dear Lord split you. Goodness knows this website doesn't need you or your selection of crested geckos with you. Because apparently, you don't need to make a good impression on people who would be looking at buying from you. Good riddance!

And at the end of the day, Anthony, you just are a grown man playing with lizards just like the rest of us, so get over yourself.

That's a valid question and I would like to answer it before I leave this site for good.

I'm not lashing out because I'm defensive. I'm lashing out because this is a waste of time and when people keep talking to this guy like he's NOT full of it, it just encourages him to keep his charade going.

I admit that I do take it personal when I shouldn't sometimes, but this is absolutely not one of those cases. I'm not worried about how I might look because I didn't do anything wrong.

Part of my frustration comes from the fact that I just can't understand why Rich and the mods here would want to encourage guys like John and Ed Clark to hang around…yet they do. And that's why I don't like this place.

Yep, that's exactly the point. You don't understand. Apparently your head is so inflated that it is affecting your vision beyond the end of your upturned nose.

The point is that I have made the point uncountable times that I am not going to be a judge beyond anything anyone does DIRECTLY on this website. Everyone makes mistakes, including those people claiming someone else is a bad guy. There is no universal law that says that several people cannot be wrong as well. So why would I go out on a limb and base my own judgement of who and who is not a bad guy based solely on what one or more other people are saying here? Quite frankly, I just think that is stupid. Almost as stupid as people are who can't seem to grasp this simple concept. Here is a clue: It is ALL hearsay. I do not care to base MY decisions on who to allow and who to block from this site based on what someone else is providing as hearsay. But how someone treats ME and my SITE? Well, that's another story. I CAN and DO do something about that when the situation warrants it.

So anyway, case and point, go on back to your ivory tower, Anthony, and play with your lizards that you somehow feel has elevated you to celebrity status. Please try not to flick too much lizard poop on us poor mortals way down here on the ground beneath your lofty opinion of yourself.

Begone, fella. I personally don't want you on my site again for ANY reason. It is no longer optional for you to come here.

Sorry, but I certainly can "threaten" someone with being banned from this site if they are behaving in a manner inconsistent and directly contrary to what I am striving for with this site. If you have a problem with that, well, there are plenty of sites out there that might be more compatible with what you are looking for.

As for the original intent of the BOI, who the heck do you THINK created it? And how is my distaste for someone who comes INTO it to bash it and me, as well as the rest of the membership inconsistent with that intent?

"Nepotism"? Sheesh, do you even have a clue about what that word means?

Thank you for Correcting me Rich YOUR FAVORITISM AND CRONYISM is what i should have put. Thought the Forum was here for OPEN and FREE exchange of ideas and opinions.

Quote from the BOI Rules you Wrote when you, WEBSLAVE, wrote them,

"I am providing this forum as a public service. I will not be held responsible for something someone else states, implies, nor accuses within this forum.

Better brush up on your Constitutional Law, the constitution is an unlimited protection against the restriction of speech with only a few exceptions. No of which is the free expression of ideas. Please don't stand on your pulpit and claim to be giving a forum open to free speech such as the constitution and then throw someone out for their exercising of it and tell me that all mighty Webslave isn't acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

Regardless, I do NOT have to put up with anyone coming to my site and bad mouthing the site, the membership, or me personally. If you don't like this fact of life, then I presume you are smart enough to know what you have to do to avoid being exposed to it.

As for "constitutional law", obviously you don't have a clue about what that document was written for and what it applies to, so please stop pretending that you do. It was written as a restriction against the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, not the PEOPLE. Any personally owned business or residence can toss anyone they care to out the door if they are so inclined. And yes, I will act as judge, jury, and executioner here within the boundaries of my own site if ANYONE acts in a manner I don't care to put up with. Again, if you don't like that, then try to find someplace on the net that is more to your liking. This is not the place for you.

 

[laterob]

Oddly, the allowance of Ed Clark and John to remain are what angered Anthony so much, right?

So in his opinion, staff here doesn't serve as strong enough judge, jury, and executioner. Now you guys are saying "how dare you, Rich".

I guess it's damned if you do...

 

[j_dunlavy]

Wow, this thread is very revealing to both parties involved. I wouldn't buy from or sell to either after seeing they are behaving on here.

Just more names to add to the blacklist.

Why can't people just have a single ounce of professionalism? It just boggles the mind. Even the most problematic situations can be resolved if things are handled in a professional manner. It's not that difficult.

Your the one claiming to be here offering a place in accordance with the constitution. Guess your ok with censorship. I assume that since you throw people off you will also disallow people to post BOI threads about them since they can no longer defend themselves? or will you let the thread posting continue so that deformation of a persons character takes place?

 

[laterob]

Defamation?

The wolves smell blood and are willing to martyr themselves in the name of drama.

AC wanted more people banned, you want fewer. Potato, potahto.

Still looking forward to those screenshots tonight.

 

[AbsoluteApril]

still waiting for those screenshots...

John and Ed did not pick a fight with Rich like Anthony did... at least that's the way it looks to me... and seems like Anthony got pissed that they were still here... childish

Bottom line: disagreement + lack of professionalism + temper = banned

this is getting way off topic, I would suggest you take this to the feedback forum for further discourse.

 

[AltitudeExotics]

I find it hilariously ironic that this thread turning into an argument about the BOI being a joke is a prime example of why the BOI is a joke.

This thread should have been over on the very first page when the op first puller out the "lawyer" card. We all know that's the first trick a scammer goes to when they get outed.

I think it is fine to talk about the OP, I am waiting for the screenshot that he is delaying.
The rest of the discussion about the BOI should go to the feedback forum so that those who are doing a search of the parties can read about the transaction.

 

[lud3au]

HE is delaying them because he NEVER sent Anthony money for the gecko from Anthony's auction.

 

[Lucille]

That is what I am thinking as well.

 

[laterob]

Me, three. But, he said he'd get all his screenshots posted tonight. We'll see.
