    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....

Do you feel as if everyone here should simply nod complacently no matter what, agree with whatever you say, no questions or comments allowed?

Clay's post is informative, I'm not sure one could ask for a more professional explanation.
I think that if someone started a BAD GUY Alex Bleas thread and we started asking them for the very same things we are asking of you, all of a sudden we would suddenly gain class.
 
Lucille you play devils advocate very well. Cris has been taking deposite on animals he doesn't have and movied to Florida. The information came from his boss. There are couple pple looking for him. If anyone knows when he is coming back to columbus let me know. Still have massages on phone if anyone at columbus show who wants to see them.

I like how I report a theft and I get judged. This site is starting to suck. This is my 2 complaint on someone in 10 years. The first complaint I filed ended in me winning hands down. She still post stuff for sale you didn't even kick her off. If she were a guy she would have been out of here. It was on 2 fauna action and you had all the proof. You guys emailed sorry and didn't even banned her.
Cris brodbreck is a thief until he makes good on his end of deal. I will not post anymore on this subject unless its to tell everyone that cris made good.

Mr. Bleas,
You come on here making claims of Mr. Brodbreck being a thief. You are asked to post proof of these allegations per the BOI Rules and state complaining that you are being judged. :NoNo:
You have been given directions on how to post your text messages here so that evidence of you claim can be read and considered. It is thrown around a lot by accused here of charges of libel or defamation. Here is the definition of Defamation from Black's law dictionary:

1. The act of harming the reputation of another by making a false statement to a third party.
2. A False written or oral statement that damage's another's reputation.

Please post your proof of your claim for us all to read.

Thank you,

Sheldon Clawson
 
So, this trade was done in person but you allowed him to take your animals and leave without him bringing anything to give you. :confused: Why not post the text messages you have as proof? Nobody is saying that you necessarily did anything wrong in the transaction, but it's confusing that you're adamant about not posting the proof. Just looking for all of the information.
 
Also, I just re-read your first post and I'm curious why you waited months to post about this trade that he never completed? Why'd you give him that much time? You could've brought him to court with your proof. You probably still can, but pretty sure you'd have to travel to his state to do so. Don't quote me on that, I'm not a lawyer.

Your right Lucille and made a lot of good points. That goes for 99% of tables. I was talking about the kicks table its buy at your own risk and they will tell you that. They buy and sale reptiles so fast it will make your head turn. So if anyone buys 10 crested geckos for 80 bucks and cries that half of them died I don't want to here it. The kicks have been vending for over 20 years. Im sick of the boo hoo stories. Buy off a breeder and get a healthy animal and spend some money. I watched someone buy a snake off them that just regurged its meal in the display case. It was super cheap so they bought it. They probably came on here and filed a boi.

Short of any proof, your posts here are nothing more than "boo hoo stories".

"Let me know", lol. Get rid of the puerile attitude and accept the help people here are trying to give you. Otherwise, go find him yourself.
 
My apologies. I just reread the rules and now see where it says proof isn't required.:shrug01:

What a shame that it isn't against the rules to smear someone's name without at least some showing of proof. :angry:

Sheldon, it is my opinion that readers here have a lot of snap and they do not believe everything someone posts, especially without proof.
In my opinion, accusations without proof when the accuser states he has proof

I have text messages for proof.

work to discredit the accuser rather than the accused.
 
I bought a albino retic off of Chris a few years ago and no red flags were raised until he told me he doesn't have a health guarantee because he sells his animals so cheap (the retic only cost $175). I never had any problems with the snake but I wanted one so bad that I wasn't really thinking it through. Now that I've got some experience I wouldn't hesitate to spend more for a snake that the seller would back up if something went wrong.

He told me he was going into the marines during the purchase so if he is in Florida he might have gotten restationed. I did see a post on the 24/7 Facebook page saying something about them opening a retail store in Hilliard. To my knowledge I thought he was still in ohio.
 
Lucille cris has a thing called a computer where is the scammer your backing. I have proof andbwill show it at the reptile show in Ohio. Its my proof I can show it to who I want. I am going take my family to Disney world might call local authorities to see if I can press charges.

Matt I know cris pretty well. He has no money or animals. He just gives you strictly reptiles whole list with 247 reptiles name on it. He marks the stuff up a little. He said he was going to order what I wanted and bring it to me. He never held his end up period. He still face booking 247 like he getting new stuff in but it just strictly updating list.
 
Matt you can become a member for like 5 bucks and cut out the middle man. Website called strictly reptiles. I still like my breeders better.
 
Nonsense .

Three months ago you came here to publicly call someone out. You say you have evidence but won't post it. Does that make any sense to you?
 
Yup. Free to express my opinion. Which is that you came here, puffed your chest, and expected everyone to believe you. I just think evidence would help solidify your case.
 
Alex, give me a call when you get a chance and Ill try to help you with the posting texts. I cant seem to find your #.

That said, Ive known you on a small level for a little while now and you've always come across as a reasonable person. Which is why Im wondering about your reactions to people here. Does seem like your normal self. No one here's attacking, just calling for you to give whatever proof you may have to substantiate what your saying. Which they should. Dont get defensive. Its one of the best things about the BOI that people cant just come and make claims without showing exactly what happened (to the best of their ability).

Call me and we'll find out how make the necessary posts.
