    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....

Beware: Chuck Kimmel, Critterkeeper & Critical Bill

Chuck has been around a long time, if these two threads are all that you can base him on as a bad guy, then maybe it is time to wake up and see the real world and this hobby.

There you go again, I never said he was a bad guy, I said I don't respect him. There is a difference. Enjoy your evening Bobby, I'm done. It's easier arguing with my three year old, at least I can send him to bed.

Not good enough?

However, if you wanted to tell Chuck you are sorry for your actions here of bumping this thread, and the other one. He might just let you off the hook, I am not saying he will, but he might,,,,,,

Then you could act like a real man and work this out in a PM with him.
This ain't Bobby's World.
I will not apologize for bumping this thread, or the other one. I am sorry Chuck could not control his compulsion to post antagonistic post's calling me names and making vulgar comments, not to mention the apex of his ingeniousness, the Smelly Kelly post. I have no need for Charles to let me off the hook. In fact he seems to be able to control himself and not be posting in here to bump this thread. Chuck did not start this in PM, he continually ran his fingers to me in public. Why not in a thread about his nasty personality and poor treatment of people?

Good luck with that, just make sure you do not read more into it than what he says, and sleep talking does not count... :rolleyes:

What a bunch of sophomoric crap. There's a few of you that we can always count on to provide us with this kind of pathetic BS that brings down the integrity of the BOI.

What a waste of cyberspace.

Apparently it bothers you greatly that I will not engage you. It doesn't bother me that you brought this thread up to the top. You can do it everyday and it really wouldn't bother me. Why would I lose control of myself? Because you agree with the original poster of this thread? Its your right to do as a member of fauna. Do I think what you're doing is right? No, because it was clearly not your intention to agree with the original poster, as pretty much anyone can plainly see. Its because your pissed at me and want to even the score. So what can I do? What you want me to do and lose control? Rant and rave? Whine like you? Cry like you? No, not my style, I don't complain, I do not whine.

Beat yourself up all you want. I cant stop you. But I can let you continue on until you run yourself out of reasons to explain what you're doing and why you're doing it and run your reputation straight into the ground. It seems I've already somewhat accomplished that before I even got here.

Do what you have to do Robby. If you post something I don't agree with tonight, tomorrow, next month.....I'll probably respond to you the same exact way that infuriated you enough to revive this 4 year old thread. If you need a four year old crutch to help you stand tall its ok with me.

Yes, your actions are that of a troll, nothing more. You bumped this thread, why? It is your very sad way to try to attack Chuck

Says the man who made damn sure an old good guy post about Mike Greathouse had a link to the current drama, even though said drama had squat to do with the transaction.

Little different story there Michael, Mike was attacking this site, why should his good guy thread take a pass? I mean he did say he wanted to be a thorn in Rich's side, correct? No need to explain, he needs no free pass on that one. ;)

Michael, that is apples and oranges. Linking one BOI thread to another so people doing a search may find out something important is a fair bit different than bringing up a thread from 2004 just for the sake of making an attack and creating creating drama. One is SOP for the BOI, the other is trolling. The fact that you consider the thread about Mike Greathouse to be "drama" is a perfect indication of why I would expect you not to know the difference. Mike, as has been made clear to those who have taken off their blinders, disrupted this site and attacked it's staff for no good reason. He may have caused people to leave here and that would have resulted in monetary losses. That makes it a relevant business issue and one which people want to know when considering doing business with Mike G.
 
Mike may have behaved badly but the behavior I read in the opening post is even more atrocious.
Everyone on the staff is an adult. That kind of attack on someone he knew to be a child is far far far far far worse of an action. And over what, 3 toed box turtles?

Mike hurt some feelings, feelings of people who trusted him, I understand the disdain people have for him as a result, but it had nothing to do with a herp business transaction.

At least this thread was related to one.

I think that's a bit different a situation than this. Mike used this site to advertise and sell stuff. His reputation with those clients he established here were based on trust and honesty. The link shows another side to him that is not what some honest and trustworthy people would consider the actions of an honest and trustworthy person. As trivial it may seem to some in making a decision to trust him in a business deal based on that link, it may be important for others to have that link to make that decision not to do business with him.

He has never scammed anyone I know of in his history of doing business.
That link was put in my BOI thread on him as an attempt to hurt his business. I'm sure people will claim otherwise, but I'm fully convinced that's exactly why it was done.

Now - what purpose did you have in threatening someone you knew was 12 years old with legal action you knew you could not take?

That was just plain mean.
 
Michael, if you are going to compare the two, then you are way past my explaining it to you.

To attack Fauna, is to attack Rich, and in so doing he lost his right to a good guy thread here, IMO. I mean he can't have it both ways. If he hates Fauna enough to attack it, then why should he be given the chance to profit from a good guy thread here?

And you really don't see the difference? :ack2:

Don't say I knew something just because it fits your argument. I discovered he was a child. I didn't know he was a child. I had no further interactions with him after learning that he was a child. I told the little lying scamming scumbag to piss off and we were done.

And yes, it was about the turtles at the time which I had lined up for a customer. I won them and I needed them to fill an order. It was also about being lied to. I was angry and I got a little angrier when I vented and a fellow poster sort of mocked me. Had she not, I may not have responded that way.

Action reaction.

Sounds fair enough to me Chuck, a little boy trying to pose as a man. He got caught, but you did not know his age, it all sounds pretty fair there. Well unless you are like some that try to pull the piss out of the pudding, need I say more?

Chuck, you have been hounding the guy and doesn't that qualify as your actions causing him to react by digging up these threads. You have mocked him far worse than what you've received.. I mean come on how many times have these threads been mentioned in Mike's thread. Not a surprise that someone went and bumped them. Hey you know ya piss a few folks off so have to expect that when they can they are going to fire a broadside your way. Fact of life, not everyone loves us or even likes us a little ..
