Well you asked for it,
My name is, you guessed it Thomas Jones. I am 27 years old. I live in Greenville NC. I have been keeping snakes since 94. I keep burms,balls,retics, and geckos. I have nothing to hide if you want my life story just ask i will tell you.
 
Sybella and thomas, I believe that posting FOR someone else is in direct violation of the TOS here.

If your pal wants to say something he really needs to come here and do it himself. If he can't or won't then his opinions or comments or lame appologies don't belong here.

He really needs to speak for himself or not be heard at all.

Damon, Brian...whomever...

So, damon/brian has a problem with Dr Jay Owens??
If memory serves correct, the good doc is one of the
best names in the reptile business; a truly upstanding
gentleman. To add to that, poor damon/brian feels
that we at the BOI were too harsh on old whitefeather.
Where is he now, brian? Still want to stand by him?

A couple of people now have mentioned damon/brian's
name in connection with a robbery at Prehistoric Pets.
He even mentions the business as part of this
nationwide 'conspiracy' against him. Can anyone
elaborate on this?

Wes, I wouldn't be too worried if I were you. People
who hide behind aliases (like whitefeather and
underhill) are usually exposed after not too long. I think
that old brian/damon is finding that out now.

What a coward he is! Those terroristic threats that
he sent out made me laugh! Everyone is tough at
the keyboard!

Oh, and brian/damon, were you a 'big..breeder' in
the jesse underhill sense of the term?

Sincerely,

Gino 'In Da Bronx' Beniquez
 
I know this is getting deep and I ask one favor of everyone. Can we refer to Damon as "damon" rather than Brian. I ask because, as you see, my name (REAL NAME) is Brian as well. Just do not want people reading this to get me confused with all this.

Damon,
I know you are reading this. Your eally should come here like other have said and speak your mind. You could have posted that thread from KS. I know Sybella is a friend of yours, but what does she have to do with it. Nothing bad directed at you Sybella.

I do not know for sure, I just hope she did it because SHE wanted to and not because you asked her to.
 
Mr.Owens a good guy. Well i have to say i never had problems with him. I guess because he never responds to what i post on the forum. I am not in his little click so i am no one to him. He did post some bad things to the assclown award winner on the BC forums because he said something bad the KARA. But he never said anything bad or out of the way to me.
 
I'm not worried Gino but it's sort of like having a big dog in your yard. Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, you wind up with poop on your shoe and no knowledge of stepping in it.

Now, this damon fool has gotten poop on my shoe and I didn't know I was anywhere near any. I just want to know where the poop is so next time I'm near it I can avoid it.

Whoa! I didn't violate the TOS here...I posted the original message from KS, as a document relevant to the conversation. I happened to have a copy of the original message and posted it so Thomas wouldn't have to search for it. That's all.

He didn't ask me to do anything for him here, Brian. :)
And, you're right...I really don't have anything to do with it except that it bothers me that one of the people I consider a friend is being attacked. But, then again, the majority here don't have anything to do with this either. We're all just posting our thoughs and feelings based on what experiences we have had with Damon. What is the point of all this?
 
Hmmm...

Assume a fictitious identity AND get someone else to post your thoughts for you. Damon, you always struck me as a deceptive and manipulative person on KS. Those charges are now solidified in my mind. Shame on you for getting someone to post for you here. I will never make the mistake of giving you the benefit of the doubt again as I did on KS. The first thing you should do if you ever get the coconuts to show up here is apologize to everyone who ever called you Brian while believing that was your real name.
 
Sybella,
You can say what you want on here. Loed knows I speak my mind and call it like I see it. I told that to Damon today.
All I was saying is that I hoped you posted that because YOU wanted to, NOT because Damon wanted you to.
 
Sybella, I also thought you were posting for damon since he doesn't seem to have the backbone to come here himself. My appologies if I offended you.

Wes Pollock
 
I would really like to be able to put a face with the names. Does anyone have any pics of this guy that they could post? I would really appreciate it.
Click to expand...

Me too.
 
I posted what i did because i wanted too. The ONLY THING I POSTED WAS WHAT DAMON TOLD ME TO.(the statement) If that is against the TOS here then i apoligize. Give me my points,kick me off or what ever. That was because he felt like you were draging me threw the mud.
I told him i did not give a rats ass if any of you liked me or not. None of you sign my paychecks. Now i got Brian O. who wants to know about me that should be posted on Thomas Jones a good guy post here on BOI. Not in the B.Smith inquirey.

I feel i am a good guy i help out others anytime i can. I always share info but i never claim to know it all.
 
I posted what i did because i wanted too. The ONLY THING I POSTED WAS WHAT DAMON TOLD ME TO.

thomas, which is it? Did he tell you what to post or did you post because you wanted to?

I've invited damon/brian here myself just today but, as yet he doesn't seem to be willing to gift us with his presence.

Doggone it, there goes my shoe again, got to be more careful where I step.

Thomas, first of all I have a GOOD reason to ask details about you. Myself, along wiht others thought you might have been someone else. No more, no less.
Why would you post on a forum that is read WORLD WIDE because someone told you to? that is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard. Post what YOU KNOW, not what someone on the other side of the damn country is telling you to post. To top it off, you said yourself that you have never seen him, spoke to him (on phone or in person), and that the ONLY contact you have had with him are form reading his posts and however many emails.
MY BEST FRIEND has been on this board before and I have told HIM that he does not handle himself well in SOME cases. I have known him via in person, phone, email, letters, family gatherings, etc. for 11 YEARS. I would not post what he told me to because he told me to. Unreal. I really am sorry you got in as deep as you did. Chalk this one up as a VALUABLE learning tool....regardless of who will be right when this is all settled.
With that said, I give you ALOT of credit. To me anyway it shows that you are a kind person that WILL help people, and unfortunately you do it at any cost. I give you credit for that.
I know people all over the country in this industry. It takes MANY phone conversations, emails, snake deals, or whatever before I decide they are someone I would stick MY neck out for. THis is a cut throat business and many people get stabbed in the back. YES, it has happened to me as well.
 
Thomas...

" That was because he felt like you were draging me threw the mud".

If he was really concerned about you being "drug through the mud", he would have come on here himself instead of further antagonizing your standings here by letting you speak for him. This speaks volumes about his character, or lack of. You have been victimized by a talented manipulator.
 
PS.
You will NOT find me on this board because of the way I treated someone OR a deal I made. With that said, before everyone goes and does their searches. I was put up here ONE TIME. This due to a deal that ended up (according to the buyer whom I have no reason to doubt) that the clutch of Siniloan Milks I sent him ended up at a different addy and left outside. I told him that when he sees something I have for sale and wants it that I would take off the amount that he had lost. Long story short, he thought I should contacthim BEFORE posting an ad which we then resolved. In other words, he and I agreed it should not have even been posted.
 
THIS IS WHAT DAMON WROTE AND THIS IS ALL HE WANTED ME TO POST. The rest i did on my own because i am a big boy now and i can even dress myself.




To the members of the BOI and the herp world in general; Please don't
