    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....

Beware: Chuck Kimmel, Critterkeeper & Critical Bill

Don't say I knew something just because it fits your argument.

It doesn't just fit my arguments. It's there for everyone to see in your tirade about how the legal bills would end up getting the kid quite a few slaps from his parents.


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.

You don't know that you were lied to.
It is quite possible they were stolen.
It was also an illegal business transaction if I'm not mistaken - I believe it is illegal to sell WC box turtles in Pennsylvania. It is both the buyers and sellers responsibility to verify the legality of the deal. That's why I can't send Cal Kings to Oregon or Colorado - I checked the laws and saw that they are not legal to keep in those states (without a hard to get permit).

If you had buyers lined up for a product you did not have in hand, that's a business risk you took. Take risks to flip what you don't have for a profit and sometimes you get burned.

Apparently it bothers you greatly that I will not engage you.
Not at all, I just wish you had taken that position before.
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.
I brought it up because you continued to try to draw me into a pissing match by making antagonistic post's towards me. It seemed like the proper place to address your unprovoked attacks of a fellow fauna member.
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.
I do agree with the original poster that you are rude, crude, vulgar, antagonistic, and abusive. I'm glad you agree that it is my right to agree with her. I thought you were going to sue me :rolleyes:. I don't care if you think it was the right thing to do or not. You are obviously not a good judge of what is right and wrong.
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.
Me pissed at you? You are the one who started this drama. I just figured this is the stage that it belongs on. What score is that? I don't care what you do. You can rant, rave, loose control(which is your normal behaviour) or you can just let it go. Now if you show your :censored: and attack me in other threads for no reason, I am going to copy, paste, and bump.
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.
Yeah, too bad its your pet Bobby, and his pet David who keep bumping this thing up. Every time they post I get an email and of course reply to their post. I don't think this is going to hurt my reputation. At least not with anybody that I care what their opinion of me is.
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.
I do not need this thread as a crutch. I just felt like if you were going to continue attacking me after I asked you to let it go, then this was the proper place for you to run your mouth. Besides, what would a guy that attacks and threatens a twelve year old girl for not shipping him some Illegal Box Turtles know about standing tall? Goodnight, and Happy Easter :thumbsup:.
 
You are quite the judge, do pray for us all Marcia.....

That right there was completely uncalled for Bobby, and that's exactly the kind of snide remark that is so NOT necessary on the BOI. I think that several of you guys need to stop acting like adolescent boys and instead act like grown ups. This whole thing is utterly ridiculous.
 
I'm with Kelli on this deal. This kind of stuff takes this whole BOI down a notch in respectability because even the so called "Good guys" make asses of themselves on a regular basis. Why in the hell would anyone want to buy from any of you the way you act towards each other?? If a potential customer of any of yours saw this and wondered what would happen if a problem arose with their purchase, would this guy bash me all over the internet?

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 ..

I'm not complaining about this thread being bumped up. Its ok with me.

So you don't know this is a fact? This is all based on what you believe to be accurate and true unless you are mistaken.

This is sort of like your asinine Easter post in which I had to correct you and tell you to kindly to STFU.

You don't much about anything, do you?
 
You did not correct my Easter post.
Everything I stated was true.
Easter is suppose to be at Passover (the whole symbolism of the sacrificial lamb, the breaking of the bread and the taking of the cup, etc.) yet much of the world has changed when Easter happens - exactly as I stated.

You get a rise out of stirring shit up - from reading your posts, that is quite evident.
Why you get a rise out of stirring shit up, I don't know - and I don't really care.
it is however a character flaw, and one I suggest you address. I suspect though that you do not care.

The following reptile and amphibian species have NO OPEN SEASON.
The DAILY LIMIT is 0 (zero) and POSSESSION LIMIT is 0 (zero).

Eastern Box Turtle

(for those unaware - three-toad is a subspecies of eastern)

Thus - they were illegal for her to possess and illegal for her to sell.
The transaction was not a legal transaction.

You don't have A.D.D, do you? I already stated that if I disagree with another of your posts I might respond in a similar manner as I have to you in the past. You can bump this thread up to the top in retaliation until your fingers bleed and it wont bother me at all. I really find it all rather funny and amusing. A little on the pathetic side also, considering your using it as a weapon against me, as though I will feel some pain of continuously seeing it and thus force some change upon me that would be to your liking.

The transaction was not a legal transaction.

Three toed's are not native to PA. You can legally purchase three toed box turtles that have been legally collected in the wild and posses them in PA. Occasionally I did see adult specimens for sale in petco's and petsmarts, though the quality was often poor. I've been inspected by fish and game when I lived in PA and the only thing they ever requested was that I keep them indoors in effort to keep them from escaping and possibly breeding with native eastern box turtles. Though I've never actually seen a wild eastern in all the years I lived in PA, I was more than happy to address their concerns.

As far as it for her being illegal to possess and sell them? I don't know. I know I was fairly sharp at looking at most sellers states and researching if I was acquiring animals legally. I guess she may have been selling them illegally, by illegally collecting them wherever it was she lived, but not to my best recollection. They are pretty much protected through out their native range.

I've now corrected you twice in two days. I'm now convinced you don't much about anything.

And whatever else you have to say please try doing it without the profanity. Children read these threads, shmuck.
 
Three toed's are not native but the regulation I read only specifies Eastern, without subspecies designation.

They very well may be talking about the nominate subspecies but the regs I saw did not specify latin nomenclature.

And no - you did not correct me twice.
You corrected me once, and that's only a possible correction.

If you are so worried about the children, why did you threaten a twelve year old girl, and why did you choose to bold the profanity in your quotation of my post?

I know what you are doing.
You are trying to pick a fight because it amuses you.
I'll be the better man and walk away - and let you suck on your banana.

Better man..better chump...call yourself whatever makes you feel better. I think you're a chump.

You know you and your friend Robert screwed up don't you? I told you today on the Mike Greathouse thread to STFU and your buddy Robert is saying that I told him to STFU. Its one of the main reasons he resurrected this thread and the other. He's been crying like a bitch about it.

How is it that I post that directed to you and he takes credit for it as being directed at him and being offended by it? And oddly enough you didn't complain about and it was directed at you. And oddly enough you are on both threads backing up Robert. Can you explain it? Your usernames aren't even similar so its no mix-up.
 
Let's clear this up right now.

I am not Robert nor do I know him or have ever corresponded with him.
I fully authorize any mod to post any IP have ever used.
My current IP address is 68.189.55.179

You will find the vast majority of them correspond to Charter in Redding, CA.
A few might correspond to whatever ISP my Parents use in Antioch, CA.
A few might correspond to whatever ISP the Bad Ass coffee shop (now closed) in Redding used.
I don't believe I have ever posted from anywhere else.

Really Kelli? I am not the one the claims to be a preacher, but then says WTF, and BS, as well as sets on Fauna like the ones that do no wrong and judges others. I mean Marcia does claim to be preacher, correct? Or is that only when she chooses to be such?

Everyone has their own opinion of ridiculous, and I chooose to see those that claim to be so good on the outside, but inside are blackened with evil and dispite. Now that I call ridiculous, as well as no judge of mine.

I'm waiting on Robert to provide me with a link to any post where I told him to "STFU". If he can provide it then no harm no foul. If he cant, then you two guys can post all the theories you'd like just like Mike Greathouse did and I'm sure some will believe you and.....I'm sure some wont.

Honestly.....I think you got offended when I told you to STFU and under your other account you goofed up and complained about it. That's what I think right now. Maybe I'll think differently when I'm provided with the link from Robert where I may have said the same directed at him. We'll see.

Goodnight Robby.....errrr I mean Mike.

That's why some people are tempted to use alternics to speak their mind.
Speak your mind as the person whom you really are, and you get insulted and falsely accused of using alternics in a cowardly smear campaign and stalked in several threads.

I still don't agree with what Mike did - but I certainly can understand it.

I think it is clear who is the real disease on this board.
