    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....

Mr. Web Slave I like your site and I think it does alot of good, BUT THIS KIND OF **** IS WRONG!

Sorry, but if you all are looking for some sort of daddy figure, you came to the wrong place. And if you all are looking for very strict rules and controls placed on what you can say here, well, maybe you are living in the wrong country, and need to relocate somewhere in which such controls are commonplace and the norm for the subjects, er, citizens.....

If someone goes overboard with their rhetoric for a public message board of this particular nature, then report the post and a mod will review it. If they agree with your assessment, then infraction points will be levied. If any member gets enough of them, then they get banned temporarily. If they then continue along that path, then they will finally get banned permanently.

The caveat here is that if someone continually cries "WOLF" either stalking another member, or in general just making an effort to be a pain in the ass to the moderators on this site, then they themselves will be getting the boot to the butt. So make darn sure you have your ducks lined up in a row, please.
 
:nopity:Waaaaaaaa :bawling: poor widdle wonnnie :bawling:



Of course you did ron. :rofl:



Like there was any threat in the first place. Just a lot of hot air and empty threats, go ahead and puff out that chest some more, you're really impressing me. :rofl: Even if you did indeed talk to Mike last night (which I will verify) he would have told you that he wouldn't allow your vindictive crap at his show. Or maybe you did and heard just that and are trying to save face for not showing up. (Again, I will verify if you did indeed talk to Mike last night)



Yes you did, and yes you were.

GEEZ! Enough! Why even post if you're not adding any useful information? This isn't kindergarten.......
 
Apparently some people never progressed past the point of grade-school name-calling. All I wanted to do was fairly point out my experience with Ron and I got attacked and lied about. I see no reason to continue posting in this thread as it has, indeed, lost any useful value.
 
Funny.....I KNEW I shouldn't post.....I had a lapse in judgement...

HOWEVER, Ron is dead on about DAND.......Here's the PM I was sent....Ridiculous.....

And your post was useful how hypocrite? Don't bother replying back as it'll be deleted without being read as I'm sure it'll make as little sense as your post. "



DAND has 6000+ posts and I'm willing to wager 5000 are much like have been posted here.....Worthless.

Kimberly, you posted here and it's worth everyone's look. They can judge for themselves your experience. The taunting and childish behavior that DAND likes to instigage is worthless.

Just my 2 cents.....I know....I should never have said a word....But after 13 pages (now 15) it just needs to end. And DAND, no more PM's please.....Sorry DAND, but look back at all the posts.....it's childish....
 
Is DAND sending you pm's? Geez, I never get those from him....
Anyway, this post has gone way off topic and has turned into childish name-calling at best.
Kimberly and Ron can agree to disagree. That is the only solution I can see so far.
Also, I believe David Gruning owes Ron an apology for the posts he made about Ron, as Ron HAS apoligized for his abberant behavior. Maybe David should also.
Tis' only my opinion.

I don't think David at any point implied Ron was a child rapist and smuggler of women for prostitution. He called him an idiot a few times I think, but if the shoe fits..smell it.

Randal,

My first reaction would be to say, apologize for what? Telling the truth? Should I have candy coated it for him? But I tell you what, you go back through and find what you expect me to apologize for and pm me your findings and then I can reply back to you and you can get your so desired pm from me. In the mean time...

When ron addresses me directly and apologizes for all his lies and insults directed towards me, I'll consider making an apology after going back over what I wrote and see if there is anything to apologize for. Like Chuck stated, I was not the one who was making wild false accusations, insulting whole groups of people or this site, but if ron apologizes to me as outlined above I'll go back and see if I did cross the line anywhere. If I were to do so now, without an apology, I'd be more likely to find things which point out how ron avoided answering questions and the discrepancies in the ones that he did. Which will just drag this thread on longer, which will only hurt ron further.

Though Randal, I'd place my money on the only reason he apologized was after he realized (maybe it was one of those phone calls or e-mails that aided him in this discovery) that he has shown us all more than he really wanted to. The thing most of you do not realize is, that was the real ron billingsley. Not some playful bantering as he claimed. By definition alone he incapable of participating in bantering. I have personally witnessed the real ron over the years and only helped show the rest of you his true nature, how he acts, reacts, his apparent disdain of people who voted for the President and his feelings of and towards the BOI just to name a few things. I didn't make him a lair, abusive or vindictive, he was that person all along.

But until then Randal this will have to do for you:

I'm sorry if I offended anyone, for me this was just fun and games. I didn't take any (sorry, I couldn't butcher the English language like he did) of this seriously. Not from day one. I just saw who I was bantering (sorry, I had to spell and/or use a real word there) with and took it as that..... It was funny getting all the emails and phone calls (oh, and pm's too). I'm anxiously awaiting yours Randal. :thumbsup:
 
The crap that is in this thread so turns me away from this BOI. Why cant we just get the facts or at least both sides of the story and not bash the shit out of each other. I thought this was for good not a huge boxing match.

To get as personal as it has should never be tolerated. We are in very scarey times in our industry and we come here and throw stones instead of how we could fix the problem. Ron did what he should have done refunded the money. DONE, but oh no lets start a bitching match!

Mr. Web Slave I like your site and I think it does alot of good, BUT THIS KIND OF SHIT IS WRONG!

AMEN! im tired of seeing the same handfull of ppl putting their 2 cents in when that 2 cents is not based on anything.

then again at the same time those ppl are also the ones i wont deal with at all :thumbsup:

really thats kind of funny perhaps those pms should come out?
 
:rofl:That's not me you idiot. That is the guy next to me and he doesn't flip them he breeds if they live. Get your facts straight before you open your mouth and make a fool of yourself yet again. :shootfoot



Again, what thread are your reading? I'm not crying about anything. I haven't called you anything but an idiot at the beginning of this post. (unless you count calling you a liar but that is a fact, but then again so could be said about the idiot thing)



So you've said a number of times yet you still return. Let's see if this time it's the truth.



A little transference there ronnie? :yesnod:

Again, I am stating facts, not attacking you.



Yes, you are quite the drama queen. Trying to divert the attention from you selling dying animals or animals with parasites. Why don't you take pride in what you do instead of cutting corners trying to make a quick buck?



Sorry chum, I've posted nothing but facts which you keep trying to avoid. The truth hurts huh?



Now that is funny. :lol01:



Sure thing dough boy.

I am the guy next to Dave ....Ron....I buy spiders from you and yes they are imports but they do live after some care....and possibly I breed them... Dave buys nothing from you Ron...
 
Gee ron, where were you Saturday? I thought you were going to be selling crickets on the corner. I had a number of people asking where you were (of course they were snickering after asking the question). :rofl:You are only as good as you word ron, so I guess it comes as no surprise that you and your animals are lacking as much as they are.
