    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....

BAD GUY, Again - Matt @ MG Reptiles

Well guys I have a feeling that this is exactly the thread that needs to stay up to show that the BOI is not out of control and does work. The magic formula give a guy enough time and lots of rope and he pretty much does it too himself.

If this is how Matt measures success in business and his position in humanity then I would rather be unsuccessful thank you.
 
I read alot of threads here and I really don't like to pile on,even when someone deserves it.I call myself a christian,but am subject to failure and judgment,and realize we all do some things we regret in our lifetime.I think someday,and really hope Matt sees that what he did in typing those words,really shows the ultimate disregard for human compassion and decency.There really aren't any reasons that could ever come to justify such a statement,except the presence of pure malice and evil from one's heart.Kelli,I hope the Silver Eyed's are doing fine,and although that statement was unforgiveable in most of our minds,youre a better person for the humanity you displayed in his obvious lack of the same.Take care.

That has to be one of the worst statments I have read in a long time. Usually we don't ban people to allow themselves the opportunity to show their true colors. At this point though, I think everyone has a real good idea of Matt's true colors.

I am sure their might be a few people who say i shouldn't have banned him because I am his competitor. (I have NO doubt he will.) But, I am a human being and a father also. To use someone's child against them, especially one that was taken in such a tragic accident, is not even human. Animals are not that cruel to each other. Matt is a complete POS and he will not use this site to hurt or attack someone in this manner. He is done here.

I wouldn't worry about any flak for banning Matt, because it was coming anyways. After some thought on the subject, I had returned to purge him from the active membership. There's a special place in Hell for "people" such as Matt Graybeal.

Methinks Hell hath higher standards than Matt Graybeal.
 
I can't begin to say how sorry I am for what was said to You Kelli, I just lost my husband in an explosion 7 weeks ago and if someone were to say something like that to me I know what it would be doing to me right now. Hell it wasn't even said to me and I feel as if someone riped my heart out. I can't understand how someone can be so cruel to another person. I looked and it turns out he is only 58 miles from me :yesnod: no need for anyone to take a trip. :dgrin: so Kelli I really don't know about what happened or when but I know mine is all so new to me and if you ever need to talk just send me a PM there are times when I need to talk and have no one here to talk to.

Sounds like a cheap threat to keep your money. Too bad he didn't work this hard to keep business as much as running it off. It looks more like Matt has finally snapped. Either the 250k he was braggng about will be used up in legal fees ( useless ) or it was all in forced refunds and he needs a happy meal.
 
I kept hoping that Matt was just having a difficult time and that he would pull himself up and get through this. Having been a customer of his I was giving up hope that the old Matt would come back, now after that statement I will never give him any of my business and and hope he leaves this business. Having thought that was bad enough but to actually post it is inhuman. I am truely at a loss by his actions.
 
Lets see, he is calling you names and then says God bless. Not alone keeping your money, what a champ. :rolleyes:

My thoughts exactly. There is NOTHING that he could do to make this right. There is no "Christian" left in that man, if there ever truly was any there to begin with.

Kelli, I am so very sorry.
 
I've never bought from Matt, and now I never will.

I've always tried to look past some things and give people a chance, especially the small business owner, being one myself. However Matt's "It's never my fault" attitude has lost him much respect, that he may have, at one time deserved.

Matt your comment to Kelli was the icing on the cake, for me. I was saddened and angered by those hurtful words, as many of us were. You are as cold blooded as they come.

Kelli, We all love you!!
 
There are still alot of you that need to vote on his poll. Are his actions, especially those displayed towards Kelli, the actions of a good guy? Even with his banning I assume he can still maintain his Fauna certificate since he still has more good then bad votes. Only YOU can make sure the reptile world knows that Matt does not have the endorsement of Fauna.

Vote here -----> Make your voice heard!

You bet Bob!! It could go on the list of scammers now he decided to keep peoples money and not ship the product.

I do not understand how people can call themselves Christians and great sellers, then act like this. :shrug01: Sad, very sad!! :eek:
 
Bob, I placed my vote for "Bad Guy" last night. I was wondering if the "Good Guy" votes can be retracted??? And if so is it against TOS to pm those members with a link to this thread so that if they chose to change their votes they may?
 
I cannot even imagine why Matt would make such a nasty statement to Kelli, but I have a feeling he thought he would gain some support, which shows how absolutely twisted his thought process has become.
At few months (8-10) ago he seemed to be "playing" some type of self destructive game, but now I do honestly believe he has had some mental breakdown.
I have done several $1000's of dollars worth of business with Matt over the last 3-4 years (it stopped about 8-10 months ago), so I have been hesitant to cast a bad guy vote for him, but I feel after his comment to Kelli, he needs to know beyond a doubt how he is seen by everyone, and he has zero support.
Matt, if you read this, you have turned my respect and admiration for you into loathing and contempt, please go away.

Anyone who has had a bad transaction with Matt should also leave proper Trader Ratings. Just remember that the Trader Rating system is for transactions, and not just general feedback.
