my full name is Jason willand im the one ripped off by darkforest reptiles

Just my .02 on this topic, and I don't post all that much here - However If the Original Topic Poster, did not understand the rules of the road as to posting here in the beginning, I'm sure he does by now...

He posted a problem with a transaction with an individual, and whether that's true or false, will come into play - That's what the BOI is for...

While his punctuation, and grammar may have been off a little, the message was clear to me - Whether that fits into your criteria for reading comprehension is irrelevant...

Perhaps some should learn some manners before criticizing others and take a step back - You may have a big name in the business, however who the F*** do you think you are ?

I asked about the AN and AND deal!!

What is the deal with using AN instead of AND? It is a simple question?

It has been pointed out to me by someone whom I respect that my earlier post was out of line in that there are other possible reasons for the OP's grammar and usage. I apologize to the OP for any offense I may have created.

Did you pay by Credit Card, or send a check through the US Postal Service? If you did, ask for a credit back from your CC company, or, if you mailed a check or money order, through the mail, contact the post office, mail fraud is a big, BIG deal. Did you use Paypal? If so, contact paypal, and start a dispute. The guys at Darkforest, as far as what I have read on other threads, are guys to avoid. HOW you paid will make a big difference, hopefully it was not Western Union... If you made your purchase off of KS or Fauna, contact the people there and file a claim or at least make them aware of the problem. $550 is not chump change....!

Now, about the AND and AN thing....

It is a simple question, however your post's as I have read them have taken this topic way "off topic" - Unless you have some input on dealings with the parties involved, your pointing out peoples faults in grammar and punctuation is irrelevant as is my post's in this topic...

I read the BOI to gain knowedge on peoples dealings with others, not for someone unknown to the transaction to step in and give grammar lessons.

Take a step back man :)

In case anyone has forgotten I have re-posted the OP's original post and topic. I hope Jason comes back and explains in more detail what occurred in this transaction.

Chuckles? In the day I would have ripped you a new hiney hole for just calling me Chuckles. Anyone around from that day could tell you that right quick Davey. But....since sooo many folks already think youre a complete jerk already, I just dont see it neccessary to pick you apart. In other words Davey, you just aint worth the 2, 3 , or 4 warning points I could take for setting you straight. Consider it a gift from me to you. In fact, just ask around the board, and you could consider yourself blessed.

David Reid said:
Do you see this 5 page thread? It is 4 or 5 pages because you keep acting like a troll.
Click to expand...

I've never trolled a thread on fauna since joining. But to answer your question Davey.....

What I see....is a one page thread because I obviously must be brighter than you. In my usercp I actually have my page viewing preference set to something around 45 posts per page. So for me its just one page and not five. Youre soooo smart Davey. Theres a free tip from me to you. Too bad you couldnt offer something like that to Jason.

Ebonics is actually a class, or going to be a class in the Riverside school system. I honestly do not know if there is a color of skin requirement, and honestly do not care.

Then why dont you call the general office of the Riverside school system and ask them? Better yet, why dont you go down to the school yard and ask the kids while they beat you with a baseball bat for asking dumb questions.

David Reid said:
I asked a question about the AN and AND deal, simple question. I see several people writing it that way on Fauna, and want to know if it is just someone being lazy, a new texting deal, or what? You are the one trying to put words in people's mouths.
Click to expand...

Not so fast Davey. Youre trying to rally support by saying "people's? No one but YOU asked the question and I didnt direct my post to anyone but you. Dont be a coward like that and invovle others Dave. I asked a simple question to your question to understand what you were getting at with your ebonics comment and its obvious to me what you were really trying to say now.


David Reid said:
I said the poster writes like a 1st grader.

And you've said too much so far. Just can it. Put a lid on it. Stop writing your original insult to the guy over and over for him to read. You want to learn what spoken Ebonics looks like when its written? Grow a set of testicles and find a young lady who'll tolerate your stupidity long enough to knock her up and have your own child to find what Ebonics is. He or she will certainly explain it to you when they attend Riverside someday.

Ok, gotta run to catch some sleep now Davey. I'm gonna say my prayers in Ebonics just for you.

Enough of the off topic bickering. You guys can either end it yourselves, or I can end it for you. Either way, it's over.
 
Jason,
I just PM'ed you (private message, you will find it at the top) of how to get your full name on all of your posts everytime to save you from having to remember to write it out everytime.
I have been ripped off before as many others who go on this site. A lot of good people know how it feels. If you could copy and paste emails you have with this person and/or receipts it could help us all to understand better exactly what went on.
