Big Dawgs?I musta missed something.This site seems to be frequented by whiney little upsate New York wannabees and even more so those that simply cant play nice.Just because you bought a $1200 leopard gecko hardly convinces everyone you ar a force to be wreckoned with.We all make mistakes.These threads are getting more funny by the minute.I kind of thought this discussion might go a little like this:
"It would seem to me that some spew is put in check by Admin whereas some spew largely connected to the "Endowment" badge goes unchecked".
I never thought it would be a conversation of a few trying to get thier rocks off at the expense of others.I have read sidelines of Rep Power,Trader ratings,and who got the biggest mouth.
"Where did you get the Mack Snow?" How many times did we read this little spew until one of realized that in America,it just might be either NUNYADAMNBIDNIS,or believe it or not,just spew.Protecting ones investment,gimme a break.Hey Bruce,did you drop large on that albino sulcata because of the investment potential,or was it because you liked it?I think I know the answer.
This site is hitting the tubes quick if leashes aren't put into place.There has to be something said for courtesy delivered on a fundamental level.Nobody seems to want to say the name Chris Johnson,so I will.This guy kills me.He kisses ass on every sale to get his buyers to post here,than is a total prick to anyone he competes with.I wonder if his new buyers look here first to see "it was a pleasure taking your money" over and over and over again.
He might be a decent reseller,but in the dog eat dog world of reptile dealing,he is pretty much the norm.Even when you get a quality,caring breeder to post on anythig,they soon realize it is easier to wholesale out their offspring and avoid the politics.
This site needs direction,as well as moderation.Rich,why do you put up with half the crap you do?This site seems to be torn between a lawsuit waiting to happen and total stupidity.Whatever happened to firsthand information and no information without documtatation?It just seems to me that anything goes,rudeness rules,and the original intent of BOI is gone by the wayside.
Since when does pic stealing go BOI instead of Webwatch?Whatever happened to no deal is not a bad deal,it is just no deal?Why are there topics about poor care info on the BOI?
I always thought the BOI was a place to report either a good,happy,dun what it was supposed to do deal or a bad."X took my green,and my animal either is sick,or was never delivered"deal.Not poor shipping practices,krept upon pics,bad care info,someone was able to buy a critter that was blacklisted,Conneticut is too cold for Sulcatas in the winter.
I realize Fauna was at one time the number one reptile site out,but it is slipping.The cash thing doesn't bother me,I ponied up my $25 for the priveledge of being here.But I feel the need to say these things.I spend way too much time reading.I know who my friends are,and I know who I dislike.
I just think it is funny that a few people get to behave the way they want with what appears publicly as no apparent recourse.
And who am I?Just a small time turtle breeder in sunny South Florida,as well as a poor white man trying to keep his dick hard in a cruel and harsh society.Did I pay $25 so I could say that?
Rich,you tell me?
The natives are restless as to where BOI is headed,a playground for the not so Rich and famous?or beer drinkin',spew streaming web junkies?
Not sure,but if vendorX isa wanting to sell me a $800 Podocnemis,and I come here.I would really like to take a pass on 121 replies on how he once pissed on an electric fence on private property,in 1982,in Orchard Park,New York.I would really be looking to see if anyone bought stuff from him before.Was it nice?Very nice,were there two of them to give it that "two tier" effect?
Either way,rutheless enforcement of the rules?,nah,screw it,why bother.But don't bullies rule th playground?
