    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.

    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 of Jason SWEIGART @Classic Dums!!

I've conversed with Jason many times over the last 3-4yrs.....he's always proven to be one hell of a nice guy and I've never heard a bad word uttered about him.......never heard him dog anyone either.


While we're on the subject of questionable character I was on the VenomousReptiles.org classifieds the other day and seen an ad for a "possible coral albino boa".....if two normal looking albinos are bred together how do they produce coral albinos when there's no heterozygeous form of the coral gene.........was this an error or a sales pitch?
 
William,
It was not a sales pitch. I will tell you what I was told from the breeders. I was informed that the first Coral Albino was produced by Peter Kahl. It was produced by either a pair of Albino Hets or a pair of Albinos. I am not sure which! The Coral gene just popped up!! He kept back the really nice Albinos (very red tails and a lot pink, red of color)! As they grew they got better.
These were then grown up and bred together. Some of the youngsters looked like the parents did when they were younger. They were kept and now you have Corals. These are from the Kahl line of Albinos. To set there and say (or assume) that it can only happen to him is insane! How many Kahl Strain Albinos are there out there? Also I don't beleive anyone has pin pointed out the exact science behind it.
I know that when people are shopping for Corals. They go after a Albino with a lot of pink in the head, sides and killer tails. I know people that have spent $2,500 on Corals and they end up not looking that hot (as they grew up).
I said possible Coral in my ad due to it fitting the bill on the above characteristics. I have been told this by others. Anyways I had it priced at $1,200 not the Coral price. I also said that it's littermate was a Paradox Albino. This is also true and can be verified with Don Lowrie as he bred the het pair to produce these. While your at it ask him about the female he kept back from a previous litter. She looked just like the male!! Guess what not only has she kept her color but has gotten better and looks Coral. Soooooo do you think I still misrepresented something? I do wish half of you that question this would take the time to investigate the genetics of an animal before you make insinuations. On another note the animlas that I had for sale have all been sold to another gentleman. He took them all for resale! I also must admit the responses that he has gotten from some of you holier than thow people. Have been quit disturbing. I can't tell you what he thought of some of the people on here after that but it is sad. Some are saying it is even me!!
Hillarious! You know if 90% of you people were as quick to investiagte an issue as you are to jump down someones throat. The BOI would not be a bad place to be. Any other time you are checking into things to see if someone is going under another name or if they have really got the animals they said.
Why are you not doing this now? I encourage each and everyone of you to investigate or whatever everything I have said. It has more than likely already been done but not spoken off. Why you ask?? Because it would prove me to be telling it like it is. Let's face it the truth is not fun here. You want lies, cheats, threats and the typical Springer out look.
Is someone else's feelings, misfortunes bad habits(bad temper) that damn important to you? Is it fun to take cheap shots to get in on the band wagon and feel important for a few minutes? Is it important to try and mend fences with others in a situation like this? You people that do these things I speak of need that and I understand. You simply need something to feel important and in control. I firmly beleive that these are things most of you are lacking in everyday life. Next week it will be someone else on here for you to jump on. Some more entertainment but one day someone may be blasting your character flaw. How will it feel then? I have seen it happen to Neil, Corey and Justin. All of which were quick to talk on me before.
Bottom line is I know I have a bad temper and act VERY immature at times. My only complaint and what keeps me going on here is wrong insinuations and lies about me doing somethig wrong. I beg for proof and don't get it. I then call them liars and am asked for proof about them being liars. I just don't get it! What is good for one is not good for another. It seems to be always biased. You want to me to follow rules by which a majority repeatedly don't follow. It is here in black and white for anyone to read. However, it is always OVERLOOKED when the other person makes a valid point. For example John was appologized to for a racist remark. He now comes back and makes critical remarks about an ad. Which absolutely don't hold water. Noone and I mean noone asks about the sick animals he is passing off on more than one occassion without saying it in the ad. Why? Because I brought this point up.
I can tell you this! Yeah, I need to be ashamed of my temper and immature attitude at times. I also think a majority of you here have a hell of a lot to be ashamed of too. In other words if you are going to tell it. Then tell it ALL! If you make a insulting comment, call names and all that other negative stuff. Then think about it the next time you condem someone for doing it or being unprofessional.
I sure thought this place would be better governed by the powers to be better than it is now. I thought the truth was a strived for objective here. Now I see it doesn't matter! It's all about what keeps someone coming back.
The BOI has been good to me on selling animals here and there. This forum on the other hand lacks a lot to be desired. I am going to cut a check on 5% of my sales here as I think that is only fair. I think a good fortune for me needs to also be extended to the help. After that I will leave the BOI and put my money in advertisers hands that appreciate it. At least a place that will be governed.
Good luck to all!
Thanks,
Gilbert Thompson
 
ummmmm, why do you have your shorts all in a twist? I asked you a simple question, not accuse you of anything.
 
While we're on the subject of questionable character I was on the VenomousReptiles.org classifieds the other day and seen an ad for a "possible coral albino boa".....
Also it's not just you or your comment! I have said the way I felt in that long reply.
Gilbert Thompson
 
are you sure that......

"Ed" didn't tell you they were albino corals?????? Thanks for the laugh! Damn, now I am going to get boycotted and you aren't going to falsely promise to buy animals from me anymore! Dang, now I guess real customers will be the only ones emailing, don't know what we are all going to do with that extra time that isn't being wasted. Guess we will all have to get together and start a cribbage club or something.;)
Kevin Smith
PS-if anyone is wondering about the "Ed" comment, you are going to have to scan to the second to last page to read the very wonderful, "pull it out of my ass", comments that Gilbert made to me.
 
Not one time did I ever mention that Ed said anything about Coral Albinos. Where in the hell did that come from? I guess somewhere in left field where you usually are.
Show me where I said anything about Ed and Coral Albinos. I was talking about Ed talking about you. Not anything about Coral Albinos.
Yeah I'm sure your not the only one that got a laugh.
Gilbert Thompson
 
Gilbert,

First off I am not trying to jump on you but I still have yet to see any proof of your allegations toward Jason. To be honest you are really starting to sound like a broken record with no proof. I have seen many people come on here and post "their" experiences with you and your way of playing games regarding purchases with them and have not seen any lies posted by Jason. Please if you have proof post it otherwise please disappear.
 
Rob,
I have on numerous occassions been accussed of being a scammer by Jason. This is absolutely not true!!! I have scammed noone out of a damn thing. I asked him for proof on this he cannot provide it due to it being false. That point was never brought to light. My proof is he is full of it because he cannot provide proof to his allegations. Rob why don't you find out where is proof is that I have scammed people???? Hell, why won't he get these people that supposedly said this to post about it? He can't because they don't exist. I have admitted my faults and appologized. However, I refuse to admit or take blame for something that is not true. I ask you where is his proof?
He owes me an appology for saying I have taken part in anything like that.
Gilbert Thompson
 
Gilbert,

Well I can see how your actions of leading someone on about a purchase only to never follow through with it could be considered a scam in a sense. The reason I say this is if it happened one time or maybe two it could just be because the timing or such was not right, but for it to happen repeatedly over and over again could very well be considered a scam of sorts. There have been many people that have posted and attested to this behavior from you repeatedly. Now if Jason is talking about something else than he should post proof of that but I still have not seen any proof posted by you or your allegations toward him but rather the same thing being said again. It also seems as I stated before that you did not have such a gripe with Jason until after he posted the information regarding your superiors and your department in the other thread about you.
 
Rob,
That is so off base about those names being my superiors it's not even funny. I ask where is the proof for that comment he made as well. Show me who my superiors are?? I thinnk I know!
I they are then I suggest he contact them, immediately and ask them if those people have ever even heard of me. They are more than likely made up names and some more of his garbage. Last time, I have admitted to my flaws. As I am sure everyone has some. I cannot see where me window shopping (a year ago or better!) or not following thru on buying stuff from some people makes me even remotely a scammer. Again that was a already beaten path way back then. Are you telling me now that it needs to be dregded up again? All of this mess was because of a racist comment on my behalf which I have ALREADY appologized for. I think most of you are very judgemental and biased. You all are continueously making me repeat the same things over and over. It's ridiculous and I'm not going to comment on it anymore. If someone wants to judge me behind a few posts instead of reading the entire thread then so be it.
Gilbert Thompson
 
Gilbert, Rob says:

and your response reminds me of another lunatic who is infamous on this board:

You all are continueously making me repeat the same things over and over. It's ridiculous and I'm not going to comment on it anymore.

I don't think that Rob was trying to get you to say the same thing over and over again. HE specificially said:

Please if you have proof post it otherwise please disappear.
Click to expand...

And perhaps if we were to check with your supposed superiors the only reason they wouldn't have heard of you is that they don't know all the names of the "mall cops" in their area.
 
Yo 1%, do you ever read the drivel you spout? You have PROMISED no less than TEN times that you would go away and NEVER come back and yet, once again, here you are. Why?

If we are so biased and foolish and prejudiced against you why do you give a rats patootie what we think of you?

Just how many people do you see when you look in the mirror? Pick one of them and let that one do the talking for you because you seem to be very confused about what you say and when you say it.

You are always asking for proof of this and proof of that, regarding who your superiors are and how you conduct yourself and how you have NEVER scammed anyone. Dude, the count is up to 19 people that you have made commitments to and then bailed on. It may not have cost them in out of pocket money to you but you not only broke your word, the same thing as lying in case you wonder why I brought it up, but you prevented those animals from being sold as quickly as they might have thereby incurring additional costs to the owners. Now go back and re-read what I just wrote. Now take two or three deep breathes and do it again. Do you, finally, understand what you did wrong?

Please do us all a favor, 1%, go away and don't come back. There is no liking from anyone of you here and no respect either. Find your own kind, call kennyboy or gubitz or upchuck, they are like you and would probably welcome you to their ranks as a full brother. Maybe you could all start an exclusive club where you just do business with eachother, you know, see who could rip off the others for the most, I bet you'd be real good at that.

Yeah Yeah, I know, you'll remember who I am and never forget me yada yada yada....... and who cares you ask? No one but you.

Gilbert or should I say Qbert..

You are absolutely ridiculous. I can't believe that the moderator hasn't just banned you. YOU are the reason that this BOI is becoming an absolute joke! There are SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE that don't know each other all stating the same thing about you, why is this? Is is because they all teamed up to go against you because they felt like it? It is awful strange that everyone is saying the same thing in different places without any knowledge of one another. Go ahead and drag this crap on for another 50 pages, but I am done. YOU ARE JOKE, YOU WASTE PEOPLE'S TIME WITH YOUR " I WANT IT" crap. Go ahead and slander me and everyone else that knows and posts their bad experiences with you, but I don't really want to even deal with the crap, because basically every situation with you has the same moral, you are a waste of time. The "Ed" and "Coral boa" thing was a joke, but apparently it is beyond your capacity. Have fun and tell Ed I said hello.

"A while back Rich and Adam Block became buddies. Adam is a known and
proven thief, who was caught stealing from others on Richs own boards. Well
in time Rich and Adam found common ground in their love for collecting guns
and became buddies. So what did Rich do, delete a some threads very negative
to Adam as soon as they fell out of the lime light. Now of course Rich
denies this, so if someone else has a better explanation as to why there was
no problem with any other threads on the board removed, aside from the ones
that shed bad light on his new found friend I am all ears. There was even
conversation in someone of the admin forums on fauna were Rich expressed how
happy he was that him and Adam were friends and no longer had a problem with
each other. Now of course since I quoted that it all has seemed to
disappear. Thank god for a save function. Now onto the whole ksnake fauna
issues. Adam got himself thrown off kingsnake so what do ya think he did?
Ran over to fauna and posted a bunch of slander/liable against Kingsnake.
Well Jeff apparently didn't like the slander(who would) and called and asked
Rich to extend the same favor to him that he had to Adam by deleting the
thread. Well of course rich would not and here we are Ksnake is Rich's worst
enemy that he attempts to slander ever chance he gets or can give to his
users. "

Now that's a quote from Jason. If he's not too busy watching that $5,000 plasma tv Jeff berringer gave him as a troll reward I'd like any of the following backed up?

1) "Adam is a known and proven thief"

Who have I EVER stole from?

2) "A while back Rich and Adam Block became buddies"

Um, Rich and I see eye to eye on little. Why would you think we were buddies? I have respect for him but like many other people much more.

3) "So what did Rich do, delete a some threads very negative
to Adam"

You've been saying this for over a year. Also saying you saved these deleted posts. Can any of us see them or are they for your eyes only?

That's enough for now as you'll talk a lot of trash and do everything you can to not address any of the above. I just want it on record again that you take kickbacks from kignsnake and you don't have a foot to stand on with any of your statements.

Again, if you did you would show us these saved files, people you know who said this and that and who I've been proven to steal from.

Since you can't, I'm done talking to you and I urge you all to ignore this attention whore until he backs one of the words he speaks.
 
LOL Adam he is doing the same thing to me with his accusations that he cannot prove!! He has also done it to another well known breeder. I will post this quote from Jason.

You keep throwing Jermeys name around why dont you ask Jermy what kind of a deal had had with Chuck for the animal. Ever think that maybe Jermy was a little pissed when you got it instead of him. jermy has a few things hes hiding to and considering what they are I wouldnt believe to much of what he says. Hes done some things to cover some pretty big messes that arent cool at all. Simple fact of the deal Chuck can price his animals at anything he wants.

Jason then realizes what he has done and crawls out of it. Saying oh I made a mistake!! Well the comments were already made. Well nobody else can make mistakes according him.
I don't think we will ever get an appology Adam. We are more than likely not IMPORTANT enough!
Here is a trend by Jason!! Hopefully this is leading up to some proof for some!! That's 3!! I wish I could persuade the others to post.
Gilbert Thompson
 
Alright I am back from Tinley, LMAO Gilbert and Adam, man the perfect match, throw whats his name from Maine in there and you three can be the three muskateers! ;)

LOL Adam he is doing the same thing to me with his accusations that he cannot prove!!

I dont have to prove anything with you, youve made an ass out of youself in front of everyone. Tying me up for $1500 in animals for 4wks last year with your excuses and remakrs about how the Barkers gave ya $8000 in credit trying to intise me to do so as well, YES YOU ARE A SCAMMER!!!!!

You keep throwing Jermeys name around
Click to expand...
Well as I said before it wasnt a simple he said she said matter I explained the siuation to Jermy and he was rather understanding of why I felt the way I did. Thats where I am going to leave as him and myself agreed it was best to leave it at that.

Adam I dont have time to waste with you but it is nice to see you back for some more. How long will it take till you get kicked/laughed off the board again?
1) "Adam is a known and proven thief"
Click to expand...
Per your own words that I previously quoted in another thread yes you are a theif. Your own hands typed it dude whats was it two people you ripped off???? I THINK SO!

So anyway Gilbert I hope thats answers you question. Its nice to see you have found a freind. You and Adam are perfect company for each other. See Ya!
 
You know Gilbert, I was just at Tinley this week end. I happened to see Classic Dum's booth, heck I ate lunch right across from it. I did not introduce myself (I thought I would go back on sun, but did not) but did talk a tiny bit and looked at what they had. All was good, very good and good pricing. No one there seemed to have grudges or however you put it.
I have not read all of this thread, but I did read your first one, and from my observations, I saw nothing like what you are saying. Perhaps in this instance I will take what I saw and not what you say. Seemed like good knowledgable people to me.
 
I am not going to argue with you anymore Jason!! That is a complete lie and you know it. That's why you can't prove it. I'll leave it at that!
I understand Stardust. That is your choice and I respect that.
Gilbert Thompson
 
That is a complete lie and you know it.
Click to expand...
No that is the complete truth and YOU know it! So yes IMO you are a scammer.

Star thanks! I hope I wasnt breif with ya I wasnt feeling good at all on saturday and I tried to stay away from the table as much I could. I was trying to let the other half do all the talking as I couldnt hardly think straight to answer questons. Drop by next time, today was awesome a good nights rest, we all had a great time today.
