    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

I just concluded a trade with Candace for a beautiful Male ,Hypo, Striped Lavender cornsnake.
Excellent shipping, great communication, easy to work with and the animal was exactly as described.
Definitely a Good Guy(Gal!)
I would do business with her again.
 
5 STAR BUYER

The title says it all. Very pleasant to deal with and paid right when she said she would. A real pleasure.
 
I myself have never had a reptile transaction with Candace, but I do know that she and her friend have insulted me and my family on her Facebook page. Libel Slander actually.

Sooooo....when you think you have a good guy (gal) think again.

I put her and her friend Carena Hall in the same category I put Bob Sloan.
It takes alot to piss me off and Candace has done just about a good a job as Bob has.

I would never recommend buying or even selling to this person!
 
So you admit to never having done business with me, and you're using the BOI as a place to air your personal grievances without proof? I'm dissapointed in you, John.

You're upset because you wrongfully accused me of reporting another forum for racism and sent me a threatening email?

Candace,

Apparently you did not and do not know all of the people on Lone Star Reptile Syndicate. I am there.....ask around about me....I have many close friends in the hobby.....One of my mentors was Don Soderberg, himself......One of the top breeders of those cornsnakes you so dearly enjoy.....

It is not a redneck shithole as you stated and there is no way one of your friends on facebook would know about LSRS being shut down due to racism unless you told her that it was you that contacted the Server Host. Only the Moderators and Administrators and YOU knew that!

You my dear are BUSTED!

It all started with you being edited for posting an advertisement without meeting all the criteria for doing so.
You found out it was I who edited your post. After that you found all the posts by me that you thought were too racists for your tender Omaha ears and decided to get revenge.

I am not racist. I am married to a Hispanic woman and have 4 children who are not fully Caucasian. I live in a city where I am a minority......Not racist one bit. Do I hate our president....YES. That is my expression of our first amendment! If you are an Obama lover then I feel sorry for you.....Again my opinion!
So before you start pointing the finger at people you better get your story straight. I have no enemies at all and I am starting to think that you may be the first.....

So.....We have all figured you out and all I can say is be careful who you piss off in this hobby/business/industry.

By the way Candace we are up and running!

Despite the abuse of ellipses, there are some things I can glean from this email, such as: I didn't know you were a member, but I also went out of my way to screencap your posts and only yours, and it's impossible to be racist and/or prejudiced if you're married to a minority.

I doubt Mr. Soderberg would appreciate you dropping his name like that to try and prove something.

I didn't report the forum, and you have no way of proving it. However, I'll admit I was glad it happened, and that I will not do business with people like you.

Also, please look up the definition of slander.
 
That email I sent to you is threatening and abusive?


What you posted on your Facebook was rather un called for......Immature and insulting.

When you and your friends state that a black penis should be placed on the lips of me and my wife you shouldn't be able to be on this BOI as a good guy.....

I do not need to get proof...I know what you did and many others do too....I cannot see your Facebook wall anymore or I would screen shot it and post it here...........Trying to hide the fact that you and Carena are loosers.

I AM NOT A RACIST.......You Candace are not worth the time and effort.

Also look up the definition of a loser...Your picture would be there, next to Carena!

Libel Slander - Broadcasted Defamation.....THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE DONE....Broadcasted Defamation.

You have labeled me as a racist when I am not...on an internet website....You have made comments that have insulted me and my wife (who doesn't even know this yet).
You are so lucky she didn't read that.....I guess you Omaha folk haven't seen a mad Hispanic woman.....
 
Libel and slander are two different words, libel is for written information and slander is for verbal information. Libel slander makes about as much sense as saying cat dog.

So you come into my thread on the BOI and make allegations at me which:

1) You have no proof of
2) Have nothing to do with a transaction or business
3) Are partially based on things said by someone who isn't even me

You say you don't need proof? Do you have any idea how insane you sound?

I'm not sure why you think anything Carena said has a place in this thread, considering she isn't me and I don't dictate anything she says. I'm not sure how you think I'm responsible for things other people say. I'm sorry if the fact that you can't see my Facebook makes you sad, I just thought it was a bit unsavory for a grown man with a family to spend so much time pouring over it.

I have never said anything about your wife, but please tell me more about how a "mad Hispanic woman" is. Dropping a stereotype against your own wife says a lot more about the situation than you think.

You seem to forget that a team of legal professionals under employ of your Server Host saw certain posts on the forum (including yours) as racist and asked that they be removed.
 
If you all have some PERSONAL issues to iron out, take it the hell to a private form of communication. I'm not interested in hearing about it on this site. If I have to hand out temporary bans to make my point, then so be it. :NoNo:
 
I just received four corn snakes through the mail from Candace.

She responds to communications promptly.
I received the snakes in great condition, and they were just as she described.
I felt that my snakes were safe the whole time :)

I would definitely buy from her again.

Thanks again, Candace!
