To Kim,Neil,Tom and all others,
spam_Because spam_of a recent emergency regarding the health of a family member close to me,I was forced to put up snakes for sale when I was ill prepared to do so and also deal with the drama that comes with someone being terminally ill in my family. spam_In my rush to sell some of my snakes,I inadvertently posted the wrong date as the length of time they were in my collection. They were in fact bought arounf Oct30,2001 and have been in my collection for about 4 1/2 months as of this writing. Jason is correct in that. I have pulled and changed the ad to relect the 4.5 months.
AS FOR THE LETTER that Jason SAVED and printed here, it WAS from me. I had contacted Jason in October of 2001 concerning the purchase of 1.1 Mad Ground boas from a then unknown to me source for snakes . Jason knew the guy and spam_at the time I trusted his opinion as he keeps Dumerills and lives back east, as does this individual. Basically, I was asking him what he thought of the guy, since he lived on the same coast as Jason and Jason had bought from him.
Between that time and now a lot has transpired between Jason and myself. He has defended Bill Cagle, his good friend and business associate, even in light of the way he treated a customer of his , one Kemper Ruth, which was pretty lousy.
Since I asked him that question, my opinion of Jason has diminished greatly. He is an outspoken critic of people around him that dont agree with him, and he vehemently defends people that , quite frankly, we all know to be not good individuals. He has defended Bill Cagle MANY times and wil continue t do so in the future no doubt. I have no respect for Jason, and Jason in turn has no respect for me. Dealing with an illness in the family is never easy, especially when you have #### heads like this takeing the opportunity to be the"moral vangaurd" for the herp community. I am NOT angry that he corrected me on the dates, more so that he would post an email that I sent him to glorify himself as some type of guru and at the same time try to entrap me in a lie Frankly, if he was going to guard someone, the FIRST
Person he ought to cry wolf over is his good friend:
Bill Cagle
but that never happens, because that would mean that JASON would have to align himself against someone that is seeminly bigger than he is. which he doesnt do.
