    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....

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live Christ Jesus."

???? Maybe I'm slow, Pete...and I'm not trying to offend you, but...what brought on the sermon? Is it a plea for your case, Adam's case, or is it reference to Lucille's last post? What is the purpose for quoting scripture now? I'm confused.....
 
you got me confused pete...

I read and know those 6 verses and understand thier meaning as they pertain to thier situations in the bible but fail to see what the connection is you are trying to make here.
Are you saying that we should embrace adam (who would seem to be our enemy by biblical standards) and buy from him?
Are you saying that we should forgive and forget?

Please explain your reason for the verses, dont just paste them and leave them out there for people to make thier own conclusions because i have no idea what so ever what the point you were trying to make was.
You told me yourself that you regreted ever making that transaction so i know that you dont support him.
 
I have gotten a slew of phone calls and emails regarding this "yahoo", and it seems that herpetoculturists in Arizona don't really want to deal with Adam either... sure, he will change his IP address, and reconnect with another account...but sooner or later, the old idiocy will come out again.
As far as getting a life, there are quite a few of us, it seems, with enough time to pay attention to what is happening in the world around them.

Actually pete, this is NOT the place for such discussions, please DO NOT explain yourself in this thread. If you want to talk about your version of religion or its tenents please do so elsewhere. There are forums here where it is relevant or you could just go private.

I don't come here to hear about racism. I don't come here the hear about who believes what about who.

This thread is about adam. It's about him and is ILLEGAL activities. Activities that I am sure are being looked into by the proper authorities.
 
Hate to dredge up the old corpse, but he did try to rejoin the AHA boards under a different name, and sell some snakes...from the email alerts I received, I doubt he did well, and his new ID is already blocked from posting any further...
Democracy in action...a beautiful thing!

tokays

Not that I want to keep this thread going, but I guess I could share my experience. I was just about to buy tokays from 88reps, but they died. It was honest for him to tell me and I don't know whos fault it was, him or the source he got them from. I just figured that I would share. I will not comment any more because I have not read all of these pages (like 60 pages lol). Happy new year.

Did a google search for politeness and honesty, and found this amusing tidbit...
"Mengele justified the murders of mothers and newborns with a remarkable piece of sophistry: 'When a Jewish child is born, or when a woman comes to the camp with a child already, I don't know what to do with the child. I can't set the child free because there are no longer any Jews who live in freedom. I can't let the child stay in the camp because there are no facilities in the camp that would enable the child to develop normally. It would not be humanitarian to send a child to the ovens without permitting the mother to be there to witness the child's death. That is why I send the mother and child to the gas ovens together.' "

I am sure Adam is every bit as honest, and polite.
greg
 
I do believe you are correct, sir ! The same distinguished gentleman that has done so much for the herp community here in Arizona, and has shown members of the public just what a wonderful place we live in, as well as endangering their lives by shipping highly venomous snakes (cobras) by dubious means, and in unmarked boxes...but, as pointed out above, he is honest and easy to deal with. Yeah, right.
greg
 
Thanks for the heads up...we just need to keep on stomping on his posts whenever they pop up...maybe someday, he will get the message...makes you laugh at all of his "apologies" though, doesn't it?

Even more whacked out nutiness...go figure:

"HAhahaha CI, hey buddy Im an athiest. Read a book. There is no god in my life only science and reason, but I guess reason and logic have escaped you.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH "

Yep, it is hard to argue with such a simpleton...oh well.

"I wouldnt call my self a hate monger for I dont go out looking for other races, i dont really hate them I just really prefer my own kind. I dont beilve in race mixing or anything of the sort not becuase I think all races are stupid or anything like that i just beilve its un natrual to intermix we all came from different areas of the world becuase we were intened to stay there and yes i understand that skinheads have a very bad name but its not really like that. and Im sorry that movies have clouded everyones judgments about skinheads but again we are not all like that i hang out with my friends drinka few beers and have a bbq again I dont bother anybody i dont hurt anybody. I fall into a category of national soclailist which is only a political party. that mainly beilves in rights for the blue collar working man. and becuase hitler used it as an excuse was not my fualt but Im blamed for it."

With all due respect Mike, I disagree. If Osama bin Ladin was selling repiltes to furthur his lifestyle, would it be wrong of this board to point out that doing business with him was not a good idea?

OOOOOHHH MY GOD,ARE YOU SERIOUS JERRY????????



And both use their funds to further
their beliefs.

I am sure this kid is not funding some terriost act (just a hunch)


So I think this thread is right on track.[/QUOT

Read the first question by Shawn.........he is NOT asking about this kids personal beleifs.

I am not defending him ,(considering that I am part native american),but it seems that this is another lynching that is just repeating itself, page after page.I think everyone gets the point here,He is a racist,now lets here about his reptiles.Has anyone ever got a sick snake from him,or had a bad deal go down with him??????????

Sorry if I am throughing a wrench in everyones enterainment!!!

Suggestions:

1) Use this controversy as a learning experience; vow not to have business dealings with those who are racist or evil

2) Please stop bringing reports of what this person is doing elsewhere. He was banned from this board; continued daily reports subvert the ban

3) I do agree that we have all been made well aware of the problem of racism here. Continuing to insult someone who we have judged and who the board has dealt with by banning serves no purpose.

4) My humble suggestion is that we drop the whole matter except for being on our guard against business dealings with this person; fueling notoriety may actually backfire and make him a hero in his own group.


These suggestions were made with thought and care,
Lucille Hollander
 
Agreed!

I second Lucille's well stated synopsis and proposal. By giving this weasel further attention we are keeping him in the limelight instead of relegating him to the cellar where he belongs.
