Bad Guy Edgar Machuca - Geckogen

[Kasi]

My husband is the helper being referred to. I did NOT know about the calls made until we were there and Mary said something. You guys also make a lot of assumptions about my marriage- the first of which being that we live together. I have done my part in this which is that I have apologized if there is anything that did go on, and only Edgar and my helper truly knows what occurred between the two of them. I am going to stop replying at this point, and hope that Edgar sees the apology.

Wow, the truth always comes about eventually. And for the record the interaction was not just between Edgar and your husband. I am actually the one who first noticed him, his badge, and attempt at projecting intimidation in our direction. I was present for the entire interaction and heard every word that was spoken. You need to just quit playing the victim and own up to your involvement in ever single one of these vile, ill-intended actions.

Wise choice. Your credibility seems to be about shot here with your attempts to mislead everyone.

This is where she refers to her husband as one of her people...

BINGO! 'Bout time you fessed up. It wasn't all that difficult to figure out, you know.

I did NOT know about the calls made until we were there and Mary said something

Irrelevant. YOU sent the emails in June to Herp World Expo to continue your whining and personal vendetta. Your husband likely simply followed up and tried to use his "muscle" when your emails failed to sway Herp World.

You guys also make a lot of assumptions about my marriage- the first of which being that we live together

Huh? What assumptions where? Who the hell cares? Hubby is still your accomplice, pure and simple.

All that crap about "he doesn't allow his photo to be taken" ... of course not! Then he could be ID'd as your husband/accomplice, not a nameless, faceless "helper".

Oh, and who made the lame Mark "Mark Sumanitu Taka" profile here? You or your husband? Don't tell me ... he did, but you don't live together so you didn't know anything about it.

And since you've chosen not to reply any longer, I guess it should also be pointed out that Jennifer Dupre-Tokos /YSHerpGirl who started this thread is also a FB friend of your husbands. Likely yours as well.

Frankly it's an insult to everyone's intelligence to claim that she was completely unaware of the interaction between her "helper" and the Geckogen team. She is willing to post a BOI thread titled "bad guy Edgar Machuca aka Geckogen," email Herp World in an attempt to have Edgar removed from the show, and have her husband (who is an officer of the law) call Herp World, but apparently she isn't willing to discuss such circumstances with her "helper" which would lead to him pacing up in down our booth alone prior to the show... It all appears to me to be actively premeditated.

Our booths were on opposite sides of the show, and I stayed on 'my half' of the floor.
My helper owns no reptiles and has no affiliation with my business - he was simply there to assist me as I had a corner table, and it is difficult to run both by oneself.

Kasi,

I think the post on circumstances, above, is valid. If your husband was at the show to help you, and if it was difficult to run by yourself, what was he doing on the opposite side of the show, alone, in front of the very person you are having difficulties with?

You can certainly stop posting if you wish, but I would think that you would want to clear all of this up and the apology you issued does not really address the issues.

During the show I was approached by more than one customer who notified me that someone at the vendor booth known as Geckogen was making inappropriate remarks about the Party Gecko booth

Anonymous people making vague remarks that you characterize as 'inappropriate'? If your husband had been over there on the other side of the show at Geckogen saying he was a vendor for your company, with a badge no less, it may be that the remarks were perfectly appropriate.

In my opinion, Edgar Machuca at Geckogen shouldn't be allowed to be an exhibitor anywhere. At the San Jose Expo yesterday, he approached another vendor and started haranguing and harassing them for no apparent reason. Later on he was spreading false negative statements about that vendor. That vendor's animals were nice, healthy, and well packaged. What a jerk! Wonder how he treats his animals with that kind of personality. Especially if that's his "professional" behavior. Be warned!

Again and again this was presented by this poster as a 'take it or leave it' opinion. With knowledge of subsequent posts, I personally am leaving it.

Kasi,
I'm sorry that happened to your helper. You probably made a wise decision in not returning today.
I'm glad you posted and clarified some of the circumstances of this incident, it does sound like very inappropriate behavior by Edgar.

In light of subsequent posts I no longer feel Edgar's behavior was inappropriate.

I had no interaction with Edgar except a very brief, polite (on both sides) exchange to clear up our previous issues and move forward.

If your husband was over on the other side of the show wearing a badge, pacing in front of Edgar's booth and saying that he was affiliated with you by identifying himself to Edgar as a vendor for your company, one could see why Edgar might come to your booth to ask more.

Kasi, your long term goal of ruining Edgar's rep over a pissing match on Facebook would have been a lot MORE successful if you hadn't kept coming back for more and more. I sympathized with you at first when I read the initial exchange that upset you. Now after all of this... All you have accomplished is showing yourself to be someone who is extremely vindictive and waaaay overreactive. It was really sad to watch this series of threads deteriorate into you grasping at straws trying to sink this man's entire business by any means necessary (creating another fauna account to post about harassment? As if no one would notice the same IP address? really?) all over a Facebook convo gone awry. I am genuinely upset to watch someone ruin their own credibility in a failed attempt to ruin someone else's. I wanted to be angry with Edgar initially, but after all this, I can't even be because quite frankly anyone who's has this kind of vendetta against them would probably snap, myself included. All of this could have been avoided by simply agreeing to disagree....

From what I have read from you Kasi, I don't believe i would ever do business with you. You are out to destroy this mans credibility over no evidence and that saddens me greatly. He may have done some inappropriate things that could have been shrugged off for rudeness but you have escalated this to impact his livelihood and that is a horrible act.
