Eli Brooks of BadAssHerps.com (Sanford, Florida) - THIEF

Let me clarify for you. I wasn't rooting for Eli. What I meant to say was......

Oh ok, now I understand better. You don't really know what you were trying to say, TWICE, and you need another shot at trying to explain yourself.

LMAO. How ridiculous!
 
SethsExotics said:
Ya know, Eli, I was actually rooting for you and was happy that you got the opportunity to clear this up. Then you said you were an "intelligent, no BS kind of guy," which I may have actually believed if you didn't follow it up with the comment about drinking up in the VIP.

That is not a badge of honor- it is a haven for the truly insecure. An "intelligent" person would surely know that by now.

Ha ha me drinking in the VIP doesn't change the fact that I'm an intelligent person just like the fact that I drink in hole in the wall redneck bars doesn't lessen my vocabulary. Your logic is nonsensical. And I don't BS either, how many excuses have you seen me cry about. I know I screwed up, I know my life's been really rough lately and I know Kita has been more than patient. What's the problem?

Although I agree there are a lot of insecure people in the VIP just as there is down stairs on the dance floor I have to be one of the most confident straight forward guys I know.

I know what I read, I did take 10 minutes and tried to search for a link but could not find one, sorry.
I went back several months before December on the Sentinel search site just in case you'd gotten an old paper, and I still found nothing about Eli Brooks involved in any reptile or animal re-selling ring. According to that website, the only thing they don't archive there are pics and graphics.

* What is available in the archive?

The Orlando Sentinel archive includes locally written articles from 4/1/1985 through the present.

* What is not contained in the archive?

The Orlando Sentinel archive does not include advertising photos or graphics.
(Again, this is from http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/orlandosentinel/faq.html )

Well Mr. Brooks, I got that info from the Orlando Sentinal (Sanfords local newspaper). Your involment was in a fake Reptile rescue that was working hand and hand with Save a life animals rescue.

How about posting that proof of that article. I just searched through the Sentinal archives, and even searched the Florida Today, and there is no result in searching Eli's name.

Post your proof hobbit, otherwise you're just posting 3rd party information and that is a no no :NoNo:

Man the chit is getting deep in this thread young Mister Less than intelligent Ass has played the Law suit card twice now.. Hey I have an offer for you mister ta wit if I say the exact same things about you, will you have your cousins girl friends second best friends dog groomers brother or the shot version IE your Attorney and have them contact my Attorney. Could we do that ? I mean mine loves a good Joke.

Now that you are throwing out chapters from Scammers 010 I wonder what will be next, This has helped your business and or love life (need to have one or the other before hand) Your already talking about all the money you've made bagging groceries so that ones been played already.

How about this shut your yap and take care of this like a man and stop acting like a 3 year old.. Randy

Young is right and something tells me your not ha ha ;)
DO you doubt that stateing in a public forum that I am guilty of criminal acts and more than once no less could be considered libel. Not to mention it's the reputation of my buisness as well.

:eek: All the money I've made, what the hell are you talking about?

:D This stuff is great.

Why, if you were able to get on and off the site for two weeks, could you NOT send a quick note to the OP saying why you hadn't shipped, that you had recieved the money order, or anything at all?
Why have you spent all this time posting nonsense and responses to deranged posts, when you could have resolved it?
Two weeks with NO response when you were Observed on the site is unreasonable, and to just post "All will be taken care of" while threatening lawsuits is ridiculous.
When is the OP supposed to recieve the animal, or a refund?
Why did you NOT respond after money was given to you?

Your right this has been a major screw up on my part, I don't expect anyone else to understand. The only thing I can do at this point is make everything right.
 
Chuck, dude, if I have NO right to ask him anything,t hen you better ask for almost every thread in the BOI to be deleted. Two weeks with no reply after receiving money is unacceple. Especially when the person was observed being on the site where he could easily had taken two minutes to reply with a "I'm on it, just taking more time".
When most people send money, and get NOTHING back, it's BAD. He's said he'll make it right, but hasn't followed through, nor has the OP said he's done anything to respond about it(unless I missed a post somewhere in here).
I fail to see how I'm attacking the "poor guy" by asking him why he couldn't just send off a response, or asking if he's actually going to resolve the situation, especially since it's the BOI and HE is the one that took money and didn't deliver an animal, a refund, or even a explanation.
I understand things happen, but so far, he's not done anything except finally reply in a BOI thread saying he's gonna "make it right". I hope he does. I hope he's a great guy, who just fell down on the job this one time, and goes on to never have another bad issue ever.
That doesn't mean I can't ask him questions, and doesn't mean you can attack me for asking him questions. I am not theo ne calling names, or acting like an idiot, I'm just asking the basic questions about the original issue of "Buyer sent money. Buyer got Nothing. Seller needs to resolve issue".
What's your contribution?

Everyone screws up, and we can't un-do that, but we can try to make it right. I just wanted to try to point the thread back to the issue away from all the silly back and forth weirdo stuff.
I hope it's a cool gecko. I hope the OP reports back on a satidfactory result and posts some pictures of the new critter too.

Nope, its not about the money and who can afford what. Its the fact that he was bragging about it like it made him better than everyone else.

I could take my paycheck and buy beautiful women some Grey Goose, and they would be "falling over me" too. That doesn't make a badass, or anything else besides a sucker.

and by the way, how is it that you know what I do for a living and how much I have in the bank?

You don't. So shut yer trap.

Ha ha no no I don't think I'm better than everyone else, just most of the losers who attack people like me because we look different or don't live the same kind of lifestyle as the majority of middle aged God fearin apple pie loving Americans. Yes in most cases I do hold myself above those people, judgement out of ignorance is a unattractive quality in a human being and I frankly abhor those who display it.

:rofl: yeah I'm sure you could buy Grey Goose and get women so drunk they would literally fall on you. But that my friend is the difference between you and I apparently, I don't have to. I am asked to come into the clubs of Orlando and admitted into the VIP at no charge where I then can drink as much as I like for free. In fact most the time when I do have to pay for drink which is rare, women pick up my tab. SO no sir you could not do what I do. ;)
I may sound like a cocky bastard and too some extent I am, but if you had it like I do then you might find your self saying it how it is as well. :thumbsup:

:confused: Ha ha hey man I have no idea what you make. Hell you probably make more than i do. But that was never what I was talking about.

Simply amazing! You went from "HOW DARE YOU TAKE A CUSTOMERS MONEY, YOU FILTHY LOWLIFE THIEF" to "Everyone screws up, but I'm sure you'll make it right". And in just two posts! Turn around so I can butter your other side.

LMAO. How ridiculous!

Bill, get a grip. I did not reply to your silly post right away because I have a life away from the monitor(unlike you). I know what I read, I did take 10 minutes and tried to search for a link but could not find one, sorry.

Bill, you are acting odd in this thread no where like the old bill that everyone has come to loath. I am concerned that something is wrong. Mr. ass did more then drop the ball he tried to get paid for nothing. If the op did not come here then no animals would be getting sent, of course we don't know if they are anyway.

Civil action? roflmao. Have his people call my peole but remember Mr.ass court is a 2 way street and if the animals are not there in the morning it may be you that is going to court.


Hey bud I never tried to get paid for nothing I had things come up and didn't contact the buyer as soon as is professional.

Court is a one way street in this matter as the gecko will arrive safe and sound and you will surelly look like a mouthy jerk.

You sir are full of BS. Quote where I called ANYONE a "lowlife filthy thief". In fact, show me where I called ANYONE a name.
Not my fault you read stuff the way YOU want to.
I write exactly what I feel on the issue, and if you weren't so busy trying to be a hotshot, maybe you'd try it sometime.
Your type of posts is why I occasionally don't even bother coming to the BOI, as your poor behavior does nothing to contribute, yet it's allowed, gee... just my opinion.
 
critical bill said:
The reason you couldn't find the article is because you lied....AGAIN! You owe him a sincere apology for the accusation. I doubt you will do that but I understand. All liars are cowards, coward.

And you owe him another apology for ASSuming you know for a fact that he would have pocketed the money if this thread wasn't started. Eli stated he was going to contact the OP on the day it was started here. But I guess along with being a liar and a coward you're also a psychic that knows for a fact he wasn't telling the truth.

Don't be mad at me for calling it like it is. You screwed up, not me. You made the accusation without any proof. Some people can do that but your credibility is zilch and its why no one believes you. That is not my fault! Your accusation is so serious that anyone smart would want to see proof even if you had the best reputation and weren't a known liar.

I'm not sticking up for "who" is right, I'm sticking up for "what" is right.


Yeah at this point mr. Hobbit you just look like a complete ass. In fact I would say it's safe to say that more people reading this thread find you more untrustworthy than me. lol
You have absolutely nothing to back up any of your claims which ARE illegal. Hell say what ever you want IF IT's TRUE but shut your slanderous mouth if you are just going to continue to make false claims.

And you are sooooo missed! I receive PM's all day from every member telling me to cut you slack because they miss you soooooo much!

LMAO. How ridiculous!
 
So what was this thread about again??

Oh yeah, Eli, have you and Kita been in contact yet? I don't recall anything about it but it would have been easy to miss.
 
Well lets see, it is Monday and the shipping companies are open . So have you shipped the lizard yet??

If not how about getting er done -- And you didn't answer my question ...Randy
 
Yes we have talked and arranged everything, when the gecko is in hand Kita will be on here to vouche for the matter.

Mr.ASS I am sure that the animals will arrive, NOW!!!!!

The question is,

If the op did not come here and tell the story and you did not get the negaive feedback that you did would the animals have been sent.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

How cowardly of you to disguise your question when its nothing really more than another baseless accusation. You don't even have the guts to simply call him a thief. You truly are a coward. Dave Lawson was a coward too. You have soooo much in common with him.

You've been called to task by two other members besides myself to post the link to the article. You invested a whopping 10 minutes in trying to find proof of what you were so sure existed. You spent more time than that trying to convince everyone that your word means something. You spent even a greater amount of time trying to convince everyone that you are psychic and know exactly what Eli intended to do.

It is apparent that the problem isn't what you think, but that you think at all. Most people get it right when they take time to think things over. The harder you try and the more you fail.

Its really gotta suck being you.
