    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.....

    =====================
    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Dan Scolaro bad guy.

"Bureau of Intimidation"? Tell me sir, just who the HELL do you think YOU are? And you are so concerned with being attacked that your defense is to attack FIRST?

jscrick said:
Why are you calling the lab regarding my test results? Just like I told Chuck -- I didn't want him fighting my battles for me, I don't want you fighting my battles for me either.
What gives you the right to ask others not to butt into something that is none of their business when that is exactly what you are doing?
I'm going to call the lab myself an tell the vet not to discuss my case with you, period.
Didn't you mention earlier you didn't bring your laptop to work so you couldn't read and reply? I'm assuming you are at work now and NOT doing company business. I would very much like to talk to your employer if that is the case to inform them you are doing things unrelated to company business on their time.
Where do you people get all this self righteous indignation?
You people are truly sick!
Does anyone really wonder why I didn't want this posted?

From what I can gather YOU weren't willing to fight any battles at all until you got dragged into it kicking and screaming. So other people decided to do so in your stead. And now you are bitching about them doing it? And on top of that THREATENING and ATTACKING the member who is going out of her way in order to do so. So who exactly is doing the intimidation here?

It certainly isn't the "you people" you refer to. You know the ones you accuse of being "sick".....

jscrick said:
OK then, what is your experience and background in Herpetoculture?
Show me your credentials. What have you done in the past? What are you currently doing? Do you have any commercial interests? Do you have references?
How are you qualified to take an issue with this topic?
I did call the vet. They will not be offering any information. From what they told me sounded like you inquired in a very covertly anonymous fashion. Some might say a somewhat dishonest and sneaky manner.
Click to expand...

So who the HELL do you think YOU are, mister? What makes you think that anyone concerned about this issue and willing to do something proactive about it in order to try to get it resolved needs to show YOU any "credentials" at all? Especially to someone like YOU who apparently didn't have the balls to bring this up in public but instead tried to sneak around behind everyone's backs sending messages to people, telling them to keep it confidential. And to accomplish what? To sooth your own conscience? To let someone know that you know something they don't and you wanted to crow about it. Yeah, Chuck betrayed you. Tough schtuff. YOU were betraying everyone else by your trying to HIDE this information you had at hand and trying to keep it secret. What was your INTENT in trying to do that?

I'm sick to death of people like you. You talk a good game but when an issue comes up that means a LOT to a bunch of people, you whimper like some coward in the back row afraid to step forward and deliver the goods when it is needed most.

Screw you. Don't come around here trying to bully members of MY site because they are in my opinion better PEOPLE than you will ever be by sticking their necks out to try to do RIGHT and get to the bottom of issues.

If you want to help, then do so. But DON'T try to come in here threatening and trying to intimidate the members of this board.

And while I am thinking about it, thank you VERY much for shutting off a source of information that might have helped with this issue. You have certainly been MOST helpful. And I might add, self serving to boot.
 
Ah, yes. Here it is. You brought it in. Lets ask your employer what they think about all this. That shouldn't be a problem if things are as you say they are.
Why do you call yourself "Mooing Tricycle", by the way? Are you a fat bovine cow? You have a fascination with the phallic symbol on the horses head? Just curious. You still haven't offered any qualifications or references.

Well you sure seem determined to get yourself attacked here or maybe you just want to get the boot so you can tell your two friends that hey they kicked me off when all I was trying to do was warn the community about IBD !!

You can make this into a flame war if you want but the information is out that it looks like both you and Dan might have IBD in your critters. People will read this and gee I bet they will tell people they know about it. Keep on shooting there is bound to be a few shreds of that foot left.. Randy

Except he didn't.

Chuck never agreed to keep the information private; it was sent to him at the same time as the request to keep it private, he declined the request. There was never an arrangement to be betrayed.

For myself I would have though less of Chuck had he not put the information out for us to see. To serious an issue to agree to keeping it quiet. In this situation I feel Chuck did the community a service. Randy

Alicia was a really good push in the right direction for me. I was extremely conflicted about this and she helped me make sense of it all. She deserves the most thanks.

GOOD GOD NO! jsc's actions were irresponsible. He sent you information which would lead the vast majority on this board to believe Dan sent him a snake w/ IBD. When he finally came out of the closet here, he tried to make you out to be the bad guy for posting the report. What did he expect you to do, sit on it w/ your fingers crossed?

I think you excersized VERY good judgement in this situation.
 
Just re-read my original post. It was a poorly worded attempt at seperating John's actions from yours, Chuck. I was trying to say that his motives and your actions had no relation to his decision to send this report. Sorry for the confusion.

And you wonder why you've been divorced so many times you slimy :censored: piece of :censored: ?

Qualifications? You don't even qualify as a :censored: human being. You're a :censored: worm.

You're a miserable rat bastard that looks for the exact same qualities in a friend to share your miserable rat bastard opinions with. Too bad you thought that I'd be fit company for you, but at least you had Dan for a while.

I crap on you.

"I agree that the report I got from Texas A&M is not conclusive for the IBD virus in the suspect snake."

Hello John:

This is Dan writing you. I am truly sorry to see that you got caught up in this mess. Despite my frustration earlier and comments, I still consider you a friend and wished you had telephoned me if you had any further concerns with your animals.

As you learned the hard way, you cannot trust Chuck with anything. He is a very nasty and rotten person.

I hope your other boa's are doing well and I expect more Costa Rican boas shortly and will let you get first choice of any for free. Again, I apologize for that happening with that boa and hope you realize by now that I did not knowingly send you anything sick.

I do not hold grudges and ask you to telephone tonight if you would like to speak or email me your number again and I will call you.

I cannot say I have read all of the last postings, but I would suggest turning away from these folks as some of them are professional aggravators and you are a kind man and should not be bothered with this crap. This forum is not a good setting to have a professional discussion on anything as it's permitted for years to be littered with creeps who are experts at causing arguments.

Dan
 
You can't help yourself any more than those you take such issue with.
And your issues have nothing to do with keeping the reptile trade honest.
This is no more than a forum for your criticism, blame game, and tirades.
It's not about herping. It's about abuse. I call you "Little Bitch" now, too.
Go ahead and have your last word. All Little Bitches have to, you know.
I rest my case.

Wow, did you type that with a straight face?? Alicia is one of the finest young women I know, she is like a daughter to me! Feel free to call me any names you wish, Ailcia is a bright, intellegent, articulate, and very attractive young woman. you're not even remotly in the same league as her.

Nope, that's what he said after his ass got dragged into this.

This what he stated in his email to me and its posted here on this thread.

John Crickmer wrote on 4/11/08:

"Only problem now is -- I’ve got this other Costa Rican and a Guyanan that have both been exposed to IBD."

He firmly believes the snake that died had IBD and the other he got from you have been exposed to IBD.

He backed that belief up with evidence. The best you got to show is the coward backpeddling his statements because he has a lot to lose. You don't believe me? Here's what he also said in the follow up email to me.

"I have way too much on the line with my investment to get my reputation, motives and methods brought into question over this piss ant and his piss ant lies."

That coward would agree to about anything with you right now to get his ass off the hook. He is scared to death. His business just like your business is going down hill. POOF! TOUGH SALES AND ROUGH MONTHS AHEAD!

This thread has 10,467 views since it started on 4/7/08. HA! Just watch those numbers climb as both your sales decline.
