Fauna, the BOI, and Favouritism...

[Wilomn]

Are you irked because you have been the target or the beneficiary of the Inquisitions?

Oops, you've been both, haven't you?

It works as is eveidenced by your presense here, voicing your opinion, eschewing your point of view WITH the blessings and, most likely, admiration from all corners.

 

[ToshaMc]

I'm Not Irked

Simply stating the obvious. I've learned that there is really very little to be learned here and what I read I take with a grain of salt, and the BOI is basically just a playground for many of the people that post. Its a shame because it could have been a useful tool.

As for me, it doesn't matter what is said about me, I neither benefit nor does it bother me. I'm a simple hobbyist I don't need the BOI blessings to help my business nor do I need the blessings of the member to boost my self esteem. I like so many others have decided to be done with the BOI. But since a couple of us were chuckling over this thread, I thought I'd post my 2 cents. Thats all !

Religion

Religious groups are all interpretation. Having said that, Its very easy to see how something someone has said in this or any other thread could easily have been interpreted it a way that was not consistent with what the submitter might have meant.

A person shouldn't have to sift through pages and pages of petty BS and personal attacks from people that have no first hand knowledge of a situation in order to get to the pertinant information.Tosha McClintock

Great quote, but isn't that something? Is that also like when a friend of mine Goliath posted an LTC female for sale in the Ball Python Classified section last week and you posted a reply mocking his ability to count rungs on a ladder or his ability to measure and basically questioning the legitimacy of his ad?

Yes everyone is entitled to have and express their opinion but come on you don't have to express your opinion on every single matter and if your only goal is to see how many people you can flame today you need to get a life.Tosha McClintock

Also is it ok to post an opinion on every single matter on any forum as long as it isn't here. I am referring to KS forum.

Although most may not agree on everything, everytime, every second of the day. Alot of the arguments are pointless. I am still waiting for the answer of all answers after watching this post for a few days and that is "Why was this thread started and or what can be done to resolve the missing issue?"

The closest analogy I can summise to this is when my sister and I were younger. She used to say "Mom likes you more than me" or "Jeff never does wrong" and only until we got older did she realize I was just as bad as her then
Sound familiar???

We are not part of a clique, and although we have a great name and a few good rep points and no warnings, we would be very much obliged to find out how to get on this list and how much does it cost??? Or is there a clique sponsor that would keep us under their wing till we come into be?

Obviously most of this is humorous and only an attempt to simmer the feuds that are brewing.

Naturally these are just our opinions.

You know, I am not generally a betting man but this is SO condescending that I am willing to bet that ol' tasha, was tempted to say tushy but mananged to restrain myself-just barely, will regret having said so sometime in the near future.

Next time there is a thread about you, tasha, and someone searches YOUR name, guess what thread will show up?

heh heh heh

Have fun leaving and watch your behind, the door has a VISCIOUS backswing.

Hmmm, sounds like a "revenue enhancement" opportunity to me.

How much would a FaunaClassifieds Clique medallion be worth to you all?

 

[Rebel Dragons]

Tosha the BOI is what YOU make of it.

Plain and simple.

 

[Rebel Dragons]

Do we get a choice of medallions?

 

[5StarrMorphs]

We want on the Clique Train

Once you figure that out, we want 3 that way we wont get accused of being in any one clique. LMAO

Tosha I am at a bit of a loss trying to understand your attitude. You have been a member of Fauna since January. In that 4 month period you posted 75 times. 59 of those posts were on the BOI. (you know, the one you think has no value). In that time period you also started two threads that directly related to transactions you were involved in. If memory serves, the info that came to light in those threads prevented you from overpaying for suspected fake hets.

Seems like a pretty valuable tool to me.

Unless something specific has caused this change in attitude, based on your past usage of this "useless" tool, I find your last couple of posts to be extremely hypocritical

 

[Jim O]

John,

Poor lil Tosha is still upset for being called out as to her motives by Wes et al (including me).

Spanish Mackeral it is, through and through.

tasha, it seems that you KNEW all along that this was most likely a bad person to deal with. Perhaps you were hoping, deep down inside where GREEDY tasha lives, that at least one of these would prove out. That would have made the whole thing worth while, all the crap and nonsense and THEN you could have come back and said "I told you so" but, alas, greed is BAD. NOW all you have are males, most likely imported this year.

Just because some here do NOT sympathize with you is NOT because they are not good people, they are. They simply did NOT give in to GREED the way you seem to have. YOU took the chance, KNOWING that katie/harrison LIED. YOU saw all the red flags and THEN went ahead with YOUR purchase. TOOOOOO bad for you. Put a pillow in your pants and take it like a man, figuratively speaking. Once the pummeling, deserved so far as I can see, is over, you'll find quite a few here on your side and willing to help you out. But STOP the damn whining.

Yes, this IS about katie/harrison. In ESSENSE. But it's also about the dimglows who DEALT with them, tasha, baited them, tasha, and were ROBBED by them, tasha.

Now whose FAULT are the above, tasha?

YOU took the bait. Get the hook removed from wherever it has lodged, most likely the seat of your pants, and get over it. Next time DON'T do the deal if you have ANY doubts at all.

 

[Rebel Dragons]

hypocrite ect... Tasha

n : a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he does not hold;
one who puts on a mask and feigns himself to be what he is not

I think that about sums it up.

 

[Madd Season Morphs]

Tosh you are pretty Damn funny!

Thanks 5Starr for haveing my back on the Carpentry subject Tosh brang up!

Anyways, If I remember correctly Little miss Tosh was askink some Questions ( That I would consider Newbie Questions) Just about 6 months ago!

Such as ''Why is my Ball python Rubbing his nose against his enclosure?''
Or ''What temprature should my Balls enclosure be?'' Tosh you stated on Kingsnake, Thay you had ''25 years experiance with Ball pythons!''

Did you mean to say 25 days? I am sure that I am not the only one that notices, That everytime someone post a thread YOU have to let us know your Veteran experiances...

The only reason ''I'' PERSONALLY DONT LIKE READING THE BOI or the Kingsnake forums-is because I know I will probably see you commenting at least 30 times..

Don't get me wrong I have only been doing this Ball thing for a year ,and I love it! (You do to it seems) But I keep my mouth shut! Unless I for fact 100% know something! And if I do have a question..people with experiance are there to help..Thats were the Boi comes in.. Thanks to Rich and everyone else that keeps the Boi going...

And if you do want to play favorites! Go ahead...The scammers will keep getting called out regardless! So Tosh all in all You may not be a scammer but you sure are a mouth! And now you are getting called out!

Thanks,
Your friend Isaac

Actually the BOI was no help in either thread

No one had any information on Harrison. And because I pursued him off the BOI as did some of my friends my suspisions about him proved out which I shared more off the BOI than on.

The thread with Katie was information that I obtained from friends again nothing to do with the BOI. I shared it to try to help others from getting scammed - did it work, no, I have been working with a dozen people that have gotten screwed by her scam. And this had to be done off the BOI because the thread regarding getting money back from her got hijacked by people that had no pertinant information to share and only want to harass people.

Does it work - for me no - I've gotten bad service from people who are revered on this board, I've gotten good service from people that have been crusified, I've gotten screwed out of good deals because someone screwed up once and someone else on the BOI couldn't let it go and at every turn this guy was made to look like a scamming creap, so I didn't do the deal and it turns out the guy was on the up and up after all.

Does the BOI work - IMO no, in fact it seems to be a joke amoung some of the "reputable breeders" nothing more than a punchline. Funny how you never see the big guys here huh.

Anyway, like I said its more of an inquisition than anything, and what I read I take with a grain of salt. I've been rasing snakes for 25 years, it's just a hobby for me, not a business and it doesn't matter what someone puts on here about me. In the real world, I have an excellent buyer and seller reputation and have very firm references and that's what counts.

And in your 25 years experience Tasha, who would be the "big guys" we are looking for.

I know i'm not a big guy, but i would certainly like to meet a few.

I think you need to go to the members list and look and see how many of the silent "Big Guys" are here that you say are not. Not to mention ones that post.

Given that, Why in 25 years is the only thing you own normals? Surely in this hobby you have to like morphs. In addition with all the repeat customers and business sales you have (excluding reselling) do you not own a $1000 dollar pastel?

This isn't pounce on Tosha day, but you sure make it easy when you have been contradicted by the things you have just posted by more than a few people.

And despite having all of that info which she brought to us, strictly out of her own altruism of course, poor ol' Tosha still got taken in by a crook. Go figure. LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Madd Season Morphs]

You're a hobbiest huh?

''I don't need the BOI blessings to help my business nor do I need the blessings of the member to boost my self esteem.''


Wow! A hobbiest with 25 years experience! what a hobby and you have 8 males and 10 females? 50% het and normals! that is an awesome hobby..

For all your ''Genetic's'' Knowledge, You would at least think you would own a Pastel.

Your Hobby consists of buying 50% Hets, putting 100 grams on them, then turning around and selling them for $200-$300 dollars..

I will hunt down your post that stated that very same thing! I believe that to be on Kingsnake..

My belief is that since we don't have the freedom on Kingsnake to tell you to ..Shut up'' YOU hang out there like a TROLL...
