Thank God you took the time to read the entire thread and contribute nothing! Its super awesome that you feel Chad should be vindicated for having sent Tara the wrong gecko (his fault) and then being so terribly coerced into sending her the gecko she paid for when really in the beginning she just wanted either her money back or the right gecko!
No one is saying any of that about Andrew. But when you bust up into a BOI thread, drag in all your own personal nonsense and make something about a guy who uses MULTIPLE aliases (4 that we know of so far) and screws people out of their money every single time about yourself, it does frustrate and anger some people.
But please, I love to hear more unhelpful nonsense in this thread!
1.) You are welcome, I'll PM you an alert to the next time I post drivel. Also, I liked the terminology "bust up in a BOI". I sorta feel like an action flick just broke out or something, lol. "Everyone get down, I said down, no heros...."
2.) Secondly, at no point did I say ANYONE should be vindicated nor vilified did I? If so, please quote that statement, don't quote me and then add your personal opinion. Sincerely, quote where I said "leave him alone, he isn't a bad guy" or anything similar. What I said was, she received her money back from PayPal (or whatever source it was), she also had a Gecko (albeit the wrong one), so truthfully she is not out anything except her feelings in the matter. I do not make light of that, I understand that, but now she has the correct Gecko, the wrongly sent Gecko AND her money. Did she send the money back to PayPal since this was resolved now? If not, does that not make her a bad person (not saying she is) for not returning the money? Why are the others in this thread (Andrew namely and lord I hope I had the right name) hounded because he was caught in a lie but really did nothing to truly harm the animal, but someone who has two animals and money from a claim left alone. I am sure you will turn this into a support of Chad or Susan but it is not, it is simply a fact of this whole ordeal, she profited from this guy being an idiot, shouldn't the stand up thing be to return the money? It is no different than finding money and keeping it without saying anything to anyone is it? Ok, go ahead, I am curious to see how you spin this one around that I am against her and for him?
3.) Third, the one poor guy is being hounded about whether he sold a gecko or not or if it was a breeder loan. I understand he fibbed, lied or wafered, no doubt about it, but can't people make a note that "hmmm, I may need to get the warm fuzzies from this guy before doing business with him " and leave it at that? Honest question here, would this site allow you to start a BOI on him as a BAD GUY because of his lie about selling versus breeder loan? I may be wrong, but I doubt that. This is no different is it?
D.) I completely agree with the first I don't know 30-40 pages, Chad/Susan/ShaddyMcJohnson/Tim or what ever other alias he choses, the guy is a bad person not only for Geckos, but all other reptiles in the trade, he should be steered clear of. I am just saying, does it really take 59 pages to have established this? Would it not be better to start an entirely new thread where you list "Chad Johnson AKA
insert alias here BAD GUY" and then in one page list his aliases (kown) and then a quick summation that he will screw you over any chance he gets and if you deal with him, then shame on you? As new aliases pop up you could add a new post with the new KNOWN/VERFIED alias? I only capitalize this because we do not want an innocent hobbyist implemented in this.
Does that not sound more reasonable? Do we really expect MOST hobbyist looking to make a purchase to read through 59 pages to make a decision? I dare say they made their mind up not to deal with Chad in the first page. Also, no where in the subject line does it list Susan Johnson or any other alias. Unless someone digs for half a day, they will not see that name.
Maybe I am just an idiot (you didn't have to agree so fast), but those seem like logical thoughts to me rather than to continue to beat a dead horse that maybe only a hand full of people really understand what is going on. Not everyone is thinking on this thread the same way you are, not all share the same thought process you do. I'll leave you alone now, sorry to have wasted your precious space with my "useless thoughts". Go ahead and start picking me apart, I won't bother you anymore since my logic is different than yours.
Uhh oh, he blinked
BAM, BAM....shoot him again Earl, he ain't dead yet.
