    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....

Allison - LOL --- yes you did just get yours at the 11th hour!

I am still caring for a bunch of them that are sold - but it is too cold to ship.
 
Hey Peter - My name is Kevin Murphy - Auburn, Me. put me on the black balled list. Thanks
 
Oh yeah it is! My comp says it's 18 out right now. *BRRRRRR* Glad in home right now... but kinda wish I was in one of my snakes enclosures. They are just sitting here looking so nice, warm, and comfy. I just love the heat and can't stand the cold! Man they have the life right now!
 
Kevin Murphy...

Hey Kevin,

DONE.

Actually - I am going to assemble a "black-balled" list on my website. It will be in order of how much you have annoyed me.

Since you are a minor annoyance (almost like a piss-ant) don't expect your name to be very high on the list.

Thanks,

Peter Jolles
 
Thanks - make sure my name is in bold. I'm thinking of selling pins at the next show. I've been black balled by Peter Jolles. Wouldn't work if I wasn't on the list.
 
Blackballed pins...

Kevin,

That is a great idea. Maybe I will get some t-shirts made up.

Sorry though --- you do not rate having your name in bold.
 
Kevin Murphy

There you go Kevin,
You are an official "Bolded" member of the "Black-Balled by Peter Jolles Club"

You know Kevin,
It might take up less bandwith on your website to simply post the names of the people that you will sell to. The list is getting shorter by the minute.

Just a thought.
 
Grab the parachute!!!

:shrug01: Not since the days of Adam Block and Gilbert Thompson have I seen someone go into a tailspin like this. I guess you will have to ad me to that list as well Peter. This one is sort of like a car crash. It's sad and lamentable but it's hard to look away :ack2:

Peter,
All fun and foolishness aside.

What do you think will happen when the people who do look at your website, do an internet search on the names on your Black-Balled list?
Fauna is heavily indexed by google and will most certainly come up in the top listings.

They will see that the people you have listed have good reputations within this industry.

Then, when they do a search on your name and find this thread.
What determination do you think they will make?

It's time for you to stop posting and stop the bleeding...
 
Mike,

Please - can you hear me?

You give yourselves too much credit. people won't buy from me because YOU are on my blackball list?

Ha!

This will have ZERO effect.

N O N E.

You give yourself(ves) FAR too much credit.

Also --- what INDUSTRY? Our industry is, for the most part, a bunch of guys with racks in their basements! "Industry" Don't make me laugh!

Not knocking racks in your basement --- I am one of the 97% who have racks in a room in the basement and a website.

GIVE ME A BREAK!

damn

damn, damn, i was sure i was a shoe in for number 1 :shrug01: ahhwell i think ill get over it :ack2: ... peter i think you have missed a few people though,maybe not?... put me down for a shirt ;) ,,,,,,,,,,thomas davis
 
Thomas,

I don't think I have missed anyone. All you have to do is ask to be on the list.

To all people that want to be on my blackball list -

I would PREFER it if you would email your request to me at [email protected]. That way I can quickly check your email address as "junk mail" in Outlook.

Thanks,

Peter

P.S. You can still place your request here in this thread for dramatic effect if you like.
That way you can still "stick it to me" publicly.

Goodbye Peter,

No, people won't buy from you because you are arrogant and treat potential customers poorly. Treating your customers (or potential customers) with respect is a key ingredient to a successful business. If you engage in on-line sales, it becomes even more important as all anyone has to base their decision upon is your reputation.

Anyone who sees this thread should have little difficulty determining your character. You are one of the very people that you chose to complain about -a waste of time.
