Bad Guy Beware of Jeffery Lockman/John Pennington

[cybernuclear]

I can just as easily create a false name and account here along with a false location. So on that you are completely wrong. The site does not have the safety features as some. It only eliminates someone as posting anonymous. It does not force one to add a credit or bank account to verify name, use a legitimate telephone number, or any other safety feature. So it is like other sites until it requires the additional safety mechanisms that some sites require. I do not have time to follow BOI on this site or other with the sole purpose of adding fuel to the fire. If I had that time I would follow and comment on other posts. I would have also seen this post when it was posted and could have provided factual messages. I don't keep messages that long. Any important work related document/email gets saved to my server but anything not important gets deleted. If I had kept every email for every purchase or sale I have ever made then I would have nothing but emails just being stored. I have not sent emails so that is something that has not been shown. I can provide false information about anyone here just as a few select individuals with time have tried to do to me. I have called no one uneducated or anything to that nature.

I did not start any of the arguing or back and forth on here. The select individuals with to much time did that. I responded to a post I recently seen by Stu. I emailed and apologized for the situation that occurred at that time. End of story. I did not lie about anything. Plain and simple but the few have to keep posting and trying to prove a point they don't have in a situation that does not involve them.

Wow you really are more delusional then I thought. If you choose to not wake up from the fantasy and come back to the real world that is your prerogative but the only one your hurting is yourself and maybe your buddy Jeff since his name is permanently linked to this thread. When people search your name they will find this thread and if you choose not to make things right here I can guarantee it may reflect negatively on you. As for the fake name thing, yes you can but I guarantee the mods will find your fake account, especially if you act like a fool.

 

[cybernuclear]

I have no fake account or "buddy" named Jeff. Anyone can make a fake account and pretend to be you on several sites. Does that ruin your reputation? No. because these sites are just like Wikipedia. Are you a good source to review a person on? No. Because everyone at some point ends up in a bad deal. Something got lost in shipping, didn't make it in the correct condition, on and on and on. That happens to everyone and if you have done enough deals I can imagine people would say something about you to that extent. I can also imagine there are people who would say positive things about you as well. Everyone gets mixed reviews over something legitimate or just because they want to complain. I apologized to Stu for the incident that happened years ago. He can accept it or not. I did not send him negative emails. Had I done it then I would have no problem admitting to it. I do not communicate like that at all especially over a small fee dispute like we had.

So, you want people to believe that while you were buying from Stu, another person was emailing him at the same time insulting him, but you do not know that person at all. An just as coincidence a FB account with your name is friends with that person messaging Stu, AND ALSO BY COINCIDENCE that person blocked everyone from seeing his friends after members here posted screenshots of him on this BOI. Yeah...... that's believable. 'Dripping with sarcasm'

Mr Pennington,
Are you claiming that NONE of the emails posted by Mr Tennyson were from you? If that is the case, are you suggesting that Mr Tennyson fabricated that entire chain to tell the story of your transaction?

John, Did you change your profile to read United States?

Of course you can. And until said false account made a point to call attention to itself, it would likely go unnoticed. That's a wonderful analogy to your own situation here. Had you been able to curb your ego long enough to decide to leave well enough alone, you wouldn't be in your current predicament. It's abundantly clear that you've been aware of just how easy it is to pretend to be someone else for quite a while.

Couple things are worth pointing out, though:

For someone who claims to have so little time for this forum, you sure are making a huge point to repeatedly come back to post the very same nonsensical lies and evasions.

Speaking of "false location;" for someone who claims such disdain for this forum's efficacy, you don't seem to have any issues trying to further skew things by changing your location. If you're trying to create some sense of plausible deniability about whether you actually are the John Pennington from Deep Water, WV, that ship's already done sailed.

You're definitely no Ray Hoser, but your delusional flailings have been at least somewhat entertaining. You're well beyond the point where an intelligent, educated person would have simply cut and run. It may be time to get on that.

The counters to your claims regarding your friend named Jeff Lockman and your emails has been demonstrated. You know Jeff. I found him in your friends list easily. Others among your FB friends (and your relatives) know Jeff.

It looks like you are attempting damage control to avoid the potential employment impacts, but that was only something you could have realistically achieved before you lied and then were exposed for lying. Repeatedly. Had you not lied, you would have been an afterthought like you probably have always been.

Since you want to assert that no one would use a search of you here in an employment decision, the following should be of no concern to you. I am sure they are so proud of you that they will cherish the search engine associations this can provide.

Claims to work at:

Bridgemont Community and Technical College

aka

BridgeValley Community and Technical College (I am guessing the Montgomery campus...if at all)

http://www.bridgevalley.edu/directory

(where I noticed you are not listed in the staff directory)

and/or

Prestera Center

as well as elsewhere.

John, Did you change your profile to read United States?

He did indeed, as his mannerisms appear to be so overwhelmingly unsophisticated that his actions fail to escape notice. The following is an address associated with him. For the purposes of this site, he had it as "Deep Water, WV" before he changed it just recently in his profile here.

John Pennington
304-779-5166
304-610-2226
16478 Deep Water Mountain Rd
Deep Water ( Fayette ), WV 25057

 

[nickolasanastasiou]

Or maybe it could be the South Charleston campus, but he still is not in the directory. *shrug*

 

[juliasara]

It's quite amusing that he claims that we have too much time and spend too much time here yet he's posted more then any of us here and is faster to respond most of the time. Maybe it's time you take your own advise and find something better to do. If he is a teacher like he says how was he able to post all day long today? It's Thursday, all the teachers I know were working from somewhere around 7 am till at least 3 pm. Yet in that time he was signed in and responding within minutes of anyone's replys. Either way you look at it he either lied or is a teacher and ignored his students all day to stalk this thread. If he is a teacher I think it should be pointed out to the board of ed that he neglected his job all day to compulsively lie on a message board all day.

Wonder what his bosses would think of how he spent his time today while he was probably supposed to be working?

 

[nickolasanastasiou]

For me, I am not one to try to manage another person's time. I set expectations regarding deliverables and sometimes timelines. The in between is something I do not wish to micromanage. If he gets his job (whatever that might really be) done properly and by the time it is due, then I would not care if he uses a hula-hoop for most of his day. I know others may disagree, but he and his employers have whatever relationship they have and I prefer to stay outside of that dynamic. I know some might try to contact the places of work of people who are hot topics here and I understand why, but my inclination is to let that stuff be. I also see potential for exceptions to that stance (gravity with respect to harm through negligence), but I have never had to engage in them yet and I consider those exceptions outside of the norm.

 

[nickolasanastasiou]

I say the above since employers have been part of the discussion since he wanted this thread material removed and I know there will be different schools of thought regarding informing versus not informing employers. In short, if he is doing his job, I would not directly attack his ability to continue doing his job. If his current employers run a search on him on their own by happenstance or prospective employers run a search on him in the future, then too bad and so sad since he made this bed.

 

[juliasara]

I can see your point but he is supposedly employed in a school with students in grades pre-k to 5th grade. I would agree with you if they were high school students but children that young need constant supervision. One of my family members works in a school that's the same age kids, same grades and I know how little free time they have during the day.

Are you a good source to review a person on? No. Because everyone at some point ends up in a bad deal. Something got lost in shipping, didn't make it in the correct condition, on and on and on. That happens to everyone and if you have done enough deals I can imagine people would say something about you to that extent. I can also imagine there are people who would say positive things about you as well. Everyone gets mixed reviews over something legitimate or just because they want to complain.

I would most certainly agree that at some stage it is possible that anybody can suffer an issue especially if you make a lot of deals and shipments.
It is not always within your realm of control, ( Fedex lost or damaged delivery etc).
But it most certainly IS within your realm as to how you subsequently deal with the issues!
That is what seperates the good guys from the bad guys IMHO.

Plain and simple but the few have to keep posting and trying to prove a point they don't have in a situation that does not involve them.

You may want to recount.

Not to wax philosophical, but good guys don't try to put the hush on people, especially here, where community input is vital.
There's no reason for good guys to be control freaks, because they know when people interact and ask questions, the truth tends to come out. Good guys are not afraid of the truth.

 

[Bobby Douglass]

This thread was dead for over 2 years and was pretty uneventful anyway except for a few of us getting on Stu for expecting the buyer to pay the Paypal fee. Why John decided to drag it back up and show the world that he is a liar is beyond me. He may be well educated but he's sure not very smart. I don't think anyone doubted you but thanks for taking the time to post the screenshots Stu.

and good guys don't dis the community and understand the importance of input from every member of the community. John has absolutely no respect for our community. This is a wonderful group of people it's a shame he couldn't be honest. He has no idea what he's missing!

 

[Tomharten]

I've never posted to the forum before, but read it often and have been quite impressed with the way in which the group has outed some real bad guys trying to run a game on our fellow herpers.

The tone and direction of this thread though strikes me as kind of harsh and rather unwarranted.

I don't know why the guy used two different names in the original transaction, people do weird stuff-it doesn't seem like he was doing any kind of scam. He was the buyer and paid up (minus the unfair pay pal charge).

About the lying about the FB friend, etc. Maybe he was embarassed about getting caught in a fib and doubled down on it. Again, I don't think he was trying to rip anyone off.

Talk of sending things out to his employer or taking this further than its already gone strikes me as mean-spirited and rather pointless.

You may not like his responses or his skirting the truth, but I don't see how this thread benefits potential buyers or sellers on Fauna or elsewhere. Just my two cents.
