    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....

brucey, gubitz and salito are all originally from New York.

Isn't THAT interesting?
That's a demographic reality. Half of Florida is from New York.

Sooooooo, you guys are, like, buttbuddies then?

That's just fine with us boys, no one really cares.

But why make your forbidden love public knowledge now?

No, no, don't answer. I'm sure I don't want to know the "ins and outs", so to speak, of your interpersonal relationships.

I hope you two are happy together and that gubitz didn't get his feelings hurt when bud dumped him. LOL.

And, just for the record, I too will be at Anaheim and everyone knows where I live. I would NOT take time out of my busy day to tell you in person how I feel about you brucey or pud or even you gubitz, no return on the investment. UNLESS, of course, you insisted.

Seems to me the cowards are the guys like YOU brucey, stirring up trouble, being a TOTAL nimrod JUST for the attention and THEN run run running away when things get hot.

Let me ask the three of you once more, and the smarter, if there is smarter in this trio, can explain to the stupider, of which there is NO lack.

WHY, with the opinions and feelings you guys have, do you KEEP coming here?

YOU like very few.

VERY few like you.

Is it the nature of attentionwhores to be such total dumbasses so often? I suppose, from the derth of examples provided by the three of you, that the answer MUST be an unequivical YES. YES, and, just for the record, YES.

I betcha if you guys left your absenses would be noted and forgotten in less the three days.

Any takers?


It's a fairly simple concept Wes...

Those that mind, dont' matter and those that matter, don't mind!!!!
 
"Take care James, "

I always do. My post is not meant to be intended as a threat or an invitation for a fight or anything of that sort. It is simply me calling out someone that is calling many here (the fauna gang??) a coward even though he does not even include the most general of information in his profile. I simply stated that I make no effort to hide myself, and he apparently does. So who is the coward?

"I happen to know that Bud is a good, decent person who gets picked upon by the bullies, especially the ones in the HELL forum."

Picked on??? If that is even the case, I can certainly see why. By the looks of his last idiotic post he seems to be asking for it.

"He is under my physical protection, and I am extremely formidable."

Well, that is very nice, and I am sure you are. You are joking right??
Well just in case you are not, let me give you my stats. I am an unimpressive 5' 10" and 155 Lbs. I am sure I would never stand a chance. That being said, When one has to tell you how dangerous they are, it is very often that they are more dangerous to themselves than anyone else.

Anyway, it is of no consequence as I am sure that you were just being the funny guy that you are.
 
That's Ok Jim, I got your back! 6'6" and 280lbs of mean, merciless, and plain ole nasty temper ready to take on the world!

Griz

PS I am also a Cancer and a hopeless romantic! ;)
 
Wow a lot of crying has happened by those who are in the red. If you do not like what is being said and hate those who say it, cuss everyone out and leave. Go away, go away, go away! Stop crying about it. This thread is not about you, it is about Sal. There is a great way to forget about Fauna, do not return and ignore everything that you read here.

Neil wrote this earlier in this thread - about the fauna gang--


"they're just a BAND of children who flap their gums on every thread, every day and every night, making all sorts of accusations with innuendos, suppositions, some GREAT detective work, and some of the most idiotic statements ever to be written!!.... They hold NO "weight" with the people I deal with WHAT-SO-EVER!!.... "

Neil was once one of the "Gang" responding on ever thread that came up until he was called out on some inconsistencies. Matter of fact, the more I read his "gums were flapping" so hard on every good guy and bad guy thread it is amazing is fingers did not fall off.

bud mierkey said:
neil has it figured out i feel the same way the fauna gang is biased
and the loud mouths have no pull in the real world what so ever.
most of their members are well known and seem to have a free run hurling

Really, because of the "loud mouths” many people will not be scammed by the likes of Sal and many others. The BOI has worked several times just in the last month to retrieve animals and or monies to the wronged. Keep your posts in Hell, they have no place on a forum you find worthless and it finds you the same.
 
What a fitting thousandth post Dennis.

Laura.... WOW.... What I've been trying to say in 100's of posts, you said in ONE LINE!!.... Absolutely Perfect!!....

Hey Wes.... I'm not going to Anaheim, but I've got a BIG surprise waiting for you there.... It WILL be physical, but it WON'T hurt (at least it shouldn't).... Let me know how you liked it when you get back.... I can't WAIT to hear this!!.... lol

Bruce, Bill and Sal.... You're gonna LOVE this one!!.... lmao

Neil
 
Let me just give you a clue gubitz.

Anything from you, associated with you, in anyway having anything to do with you, will be met with EXTREME prejudice.

Careful neil, fun is fun but if you're trying to be cute, HA, chances are you'll regret it.

Remember that I said this long ago and meant it as much then as now.

No quarter asked, none given.

Just so you know.
 
neil "the liar" gubitz, you ARE an amusing old man.

Looking forward to seeing what YOU think would be funny.

I think, may be wrong but I think, you've alluded to your christianity. If so, and maybe even if not, there is a line that may suit that YOU may want to take into consideration.

It goes something like this " yada yada yada and seven time seventy shall ye be repaid"

I'm sort of an oldschool kind of guy when it comes to stinkers like you.

And ya know what, liar?

I WILL be in fla next year. Ain't that special?

It WAS amusing though

Everyone has a person in their life's that matter to them...............and in the real world and bigger picture, isn't that what is most important?? Those who matter?? Wes hates Neil and Neil doesn't care, so they taunt and antagonize each other.
But I wonder..........if everyones dirt was out for public display, would we even talk to each other?? I've had an amazingly tough 2 years, Neil has seen his share, Bill has been through hell and back, and guess what ..........we're all still standing....and this thread has nothing to do with any one else but SAL!! Sheesh all of this chest thumping and testosterone is making my voice deeper.
Like I said "those that mind don't matter and those that matter, don't mind

Peace out fellas
 
I REALLY don't like it when people don't listen to what I say and THEN when I've said one thing say I've said another.

I DON'T hate neil "the liar" gubitz.

I just don't like him.

A lot.

Please try to remember that.

It takes WAYYYYYYYY to much effort to hate someone to make it worthwhile to hate soemone so insignifigant as neil "the liar" gubitz.

Neil

All sarcasm and jabs aside. Please take this response to heart as it is offerred for that reason.

You are right in saying that you and I have always gotten along well in our contacts at shows. I have nothing personal against you in any way. Our conversations have always been amiable and pleasant.

That said, let me address your hypothetical question. If my partner voluntarily participated in numerous and deliberate situations in which he defrauded, bilked money from and screwed over his customers for his own financial gain, I would end our business relationship instantly and do everything I could to drive him out of a business that I truly love being involved in. This industry has no room for the likes of a Sal Tornambene. Would I "kick him to the curb"? Absolutely not!. He would still be my friend. That would never change. Friendship is something I value above just about anything in life. I would do everything in my power to turn him around.

Now let me point out why you are getting so much grief for your association with Sal. I truly believe that no one can do anything but respect someone who sticks by a friend. That is laudable by anyones standards. The ****storm you get comes from your repeated attempts to defend his past and present business practices. Your statement above continues to do so "some sudden major problems and ended up not doing the right things for awhile". Neil, you know this isn't the case. Can all those people who started and posted on those threads be making things up? Come on!!! He was a wholesale thief and con artist under several different corporate names and committed wholesale fraud under all. And there is the crux. You have tied your own business reputation to his by your repeated defense of something that is completely indefensible....Sal's lack of business ethics.

That is the reason that your stock down here keeps declining. Be his friend Neil but keep keep your business as distant from his as possible. You are known by the company you keep. Constantly espousing him as a "changed man" accomplishes nothing but to further link your business name to his. He may produce high end animals in coming years but this industry has a long memory. I can guarantee you that the decent ethical people in this business will continue to pass him by until he manages to prove he has ethics and that will be a looooonnnnnggggg process after the crap he has pulled in the past

Last thought Neil. The fact that Sal now has a misguided individual with deep pockets funding his business does not make him any less a scumbag...he is now simply a well funded scumbag. Only time and a hell of a lot of effort on his part can erase that nickname

John.... How come you can't see that's EXACTLY what I'm doing, and HAVE been doing??.... I've never DEFENDED what he did, I thought it was dead wrong, that's why I did everything I could to make some of those people right, and it cost me a LOT of money (which Sal has repaid to the penny).... I just don't dwell in the past.... Granted, it's not a very long time (as it were), but Sal has made a significant change.... He KNOWS that THIS is his LAST shot in this business, if he screws ONE PERSON, his partner will leave and he will be done.... I've seen him do things for customers that I was very proud of.... I DID make a difference with him, and if things continue to go the way they are, he WILL end up as a very formidable person in this business.... he NOW has the financial backing to do it, IF IF IF he stays a good boy.... AND HE WILL IF I HAVE TO KILL HIM FIRST!!.... lol

There will ALWAYS be people that won't forget, no matter how many years any of us continue to do right.... well, too bad for them.... I just don't care what they think (as I'm SURE you know by now)....

Neil
 
John...you hit the nail on the head...with a sledgehammer! Your written communication is much more succinct than mine.

Neil, John's last post is precisely the point I failed to make earlier.
