    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.....

    =====================


    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....

any one ever delt with 88reps (canyonreptiles)

I am ashamed to say that some of the arizona members are defending him at this point...I gather they did not read the entire series of posts on this thread.
The illegality and immorality of people like this do nothing but cause us to be cast in a very bad light...I would like those from outside our state to know that not all of us are skinheads, or fools like this one...
sorry that this had to be my introduction to the site, but I guess every cloud has a pewter lining !!

Greg: All of us are individuals. You have the courage to separate yourself from those who traffic in illegal snakes, and who are racist and vile.
Welcome to Fauna, I am sure you will like this board. :)

Hopefully he will see that he was the one that was in the wrong after he thinks about it for a while and come back. A pperson can only hope that people will change their ways.

See what you did?

You guys made Beyond the Web quit the forum on Chirstmas eve! I cant believe all you scrooges made him upset by picking on him over a little thing like illegally shipping a venomus snake across state lines while using an illegal shipping method! Ba Humbug!
 
This is Christmas Eve......While I am horrified at racism and I do not condone the illegal shipping of snakes, I do believe that sometimes, sometimes, people can change for the better.

This is the evening before the birth of Christ; what do you say that we wait and see if this guy lives up to the small steps in the right direction he made? I hope he reads this post, and I hope he emails his abject apologies to Dennis for the ugly things he said and I hope he makes a new beginning.

Maybe I am just soft but....what do y'all think?
It IS Christmas Eve.........

While I have been on every sight i have kept my beliefs to my self until one Person brought it up and still then i did not make any racist remarks or make fun of anybodies color, I hold my belief for me not you not anybody, Whether or not you people want to forget this is not up to me, I have admited on numurous occations that I was wrong to attack anybody that i may have on that thread, But yet nobody has aplolgized to me for the way i was attacked. no body even seems to notice that why? its only the guy that is different right screw him hes not one of us hes different. Lets not by his reptiles in fact lets spit all over his name becuase hes human oh my god hes human he makes mistakes and hes human Im really tired of trying to make this right ive done
 
He's lost his snakes (as is proper), he has given general apologies on the other board....and.....he is younger than one of my kids.

Let's see if he apologizes to Dennis, and maybe even to Rich.....but....let's just...hold off; a day? Christmas? What do you think?


Lucille Hollander
 
and i thought i was the only voice of reason..

I too was deeply angered by what was found out on this thread. But i also like to think the best of people and hope a person can always change for the better.
Lets remember this is the season to forgive one another.

Lucille you get rep points from me for that last post just for hoping that he will change his ways.


Nick Bonn
 
I do not know; but here is a post of his- the implication seems to be that they were confiscated.

Hi everybody Im not going to try to defend my self very much for i dont see a point. I goofed up big time all my non nantive venomous have legally been removed from my possesion. I did not in the slightest act at all racist on that thread. the racism was brought to me. And im am truley sorry for everything I have done and every way i have acted. i truthfully did not know that all those snakes were ilegal(ignorance i guess). I just lost sevral thousand dollars on the snakes i had to give up if thats what it means to be legal then i have no problem doing so. again sorry. but also were are all intilted to our own beliefs and i ask to judge me upon my business not my creed for i have not done that to you.

thank you
 
I have to say that I see Peter as a potential loss to this forum. While he definitely jumped the gun in his first thread regarding the aggressive Albino Burm and has unquestionably been involved in less than perfect circumstances on this thread, he did, in general seem intelligent and reasonable. I think he could have been an asset, given time. It's a shame he could not fess up and weather the storm he created for himself.

Adam, on the other hand, is a complete waste of band width. You don't recover from that kind of life choice. It just gradually consumes you. Even in the quote above he is still whining and playing the injured party. It may sound hard, (Christmas and all) but I say goodbye and good riddance to our bigoted friend Adam.
 
Let this cup pass

Are you saying that the forum should let this cup pass? That they should wash their hands of this? That he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword? That he who is without sin should cast the first stone? That they should not throw him from this temple?
 
hmmm....

ophis, were they rhetorical questions?


Nick Bonn
 
Rhetorical Question

A kind of question used for an effect and no answer is expected. no, I am expecting an answer.
 
All I ask, is that there be a truce on the day of the Birth of Christ; that we wait, and see what transpires.

There are no guarantees in life; but miracles happen, they do. He is so young, surely we can hope that he will change; and if he does, and we, collectively, are the author of that change, it would truly be a memorable gift from Heaven.

Good night, all.


Lucille Hollander
 
Wow

Seems like dude really did get a visit from the law over this. Guess thats what happens when you poke the law in the eye but forget how long its arm is.
 
I don't think they were confiscated...I think he shipped them out real fast (hope no one at DHL was bitten) to avoid prosecution...at least, there is no news on the g/f wire at all...
More and more AHA members are going back and reading the entire thread, and catching him in his falsehoods...and his friend in california, also...hopefully, he will not be able to operate as a business in our state, and will move somewhere else...perhaps a time machine could take him to Germany, say in 1939?? He would be at home, there...
 
My thought

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe he was posting that as a woe is me/diversionary tactic.
