Bad Guy Fauna Web Moderator **Horrible Customer Service**

[akonitony]

...But jealousy is a powerful motivator, evidently, when people regard the success of this site and resent the fact that they have not been able to do anything in their lives even remotely as motivational in ANY field of endeavor. The fact that I was one of the few people who had a very successful snake breeding business and was able to retire from the profits of it certainly rankles some people as well.

Sir, you forgot to mention 'Devastatingly Handsome' as well...

 

[deborahbroadus]

We are ALL snide or snarky sometimes..what does that have to do with WS sending a link to answer a question?

I did not see "snide" or "snarky" in his reply. I have often said "The search button is your friend" and included a link when answering a question. I can honestly say that, to date, no one has taken offense or even been offended at the level I have read here...sigh.

 

[akonitony]

Yeah, I don't think Mr. Matt is with us anymore. Me thinks he is among the land of the outcast. Forever to roam a desolate landscape proclaiming those forlorn words: "Unclean-unclean!", according to the law.

You are a mess!

 

[Slipmattic]

This issue should not have been brought to the BOI, it's a waste of space....

 

[akonitony]

You are a mess!

Actually, I prefer the term 'snarkylicous' if I must be labeled...

But seriously, what kind of person starts a thread, then about the first page from what I read, just stops posting. Starts with an L, ends with an R...

My daddy always told me don't start something unless you intend to finish it. He also taught me an apology goes a long way, when it is sincere. Like I said earlier, Matt, you started this thread wanting public opinion of the situation, and according to the count, it looks like your opinion is in the vast minority. Not saying the majority always rules, but in this case, well, I am saying just that. You've got a lot of nerve opening up a bad-guy thread on the owner of this site, then not following through and knowing when to bow out, doing so graciously. Even if by some stretch of the imagination you could come up with a plausible defense, it would do you no good in this forum to embark on a summation when you have not defended your position now for so long. Just admit it buddy - you screwed up, ask for forgiveness, and take some lumps until your reputation hopefully improves in maybe two or three generations...
The alternative is do exactly what you are doing, and not say a thing - I've seen rats play that role when they were thrown into a big tub full of hungry savannah monitors. One would hug the wall of the tub and seemed to be saying "I am a piece of pinebark, I am a piece of pinebark", only to be eaten anyway. If you are going to go out, at least shoot the lizard a bird or something. Otherwise, try the apology approach. Trust me, crow is better served piping hot than cold as a leftover.

Here, I'll get you started where all you have to do is copy and paste:

Dear Webslave,
I don't know how it got to this point, but I sure wish it hadn't. I could go on about how unfair life has been to me at this point, how my dog got pregnant and miscarried, how my car threw a rod when I thought the 100k-mile service plan meant I didn't have to change oil for that long, but I won't. Just suffice it to say I screwed up. I don't know what I was thinking when I started this thread. Seemed like a good idea at the time, and I think listening to Rob Zombi telling me 'There's only one way to bring the giant down' might have had something to do with it. Either that, or maybe I have a gas leak somewhere in the kitchen I don't know about. Anyway, please accept my most humble apology for calling you out, as it were, on your own forum. It will not happen again sir, at least not without you actually being very snarky indeed.
Best Regards,
Matthew Cossman

BEST POST EVER!

 

[akonitony]

BEST POST EVER!

In the immortal words of Elvis: Thank-ya, thank-ya very much.

To cut and paste: Left-click the mouse button and drag cursor over sentences to be cut. Next, right-click mouse one time. From the drop-down menu, choose 'copy'. Next, click onto the reply window. Now right-click the mouse again, and from the drop-down menu choose 'paste'. Next, hit 'post reply', let simmer for about 15 minutes, and it should be group-hug time.
Come-on... you can do it...

 

[WebSlave]

My guess is that the guy is sulking somewhere thinking that he is absolutely in the right, and everyone here who agrees with me is simply a "Fauna Fan Boy (or girl)". That this is all a conspiratorial clique that closes ranks against any and all "outsiders".. Yeah, like THAT has never happened around here before...

Now-now. Let's just see if he can man-up when it is time to man-up. A guy that profits some $24k/year off of corn snakes can't be stupid. Put it this way, if he did just go ahead and cut and paste that, what would be your reaction? I'm guessing you would probably say something like "don't worry about it - it's squashed"? Somehow, I just can't picture you of all people kicking someone when they are down. Like it or not, you are 'da Man' for a reason around here. I am sure I am not the only one that admires the way you express yourself - actually it's kind of a toss up between you and Mr. Moore, who is elegantly eloquent in his writing. I now have a new word thanks to one of your recent posts - snarky.

Does anyone have a rag I can wipe this brown off my nose with

- snarky.

The new singing group is born, Tony DeValentin and the Snarkettes, singing the all time favorite blues from the dark underbelly of the reptile world


help I'm getting infected by Tony's writing style

 

[akonitony]

Nobody knooooows the trouble... I've seen. (sung from the heart, of course)

Roh-roh, I hear the infraction book coming off the shelf - quick everyone, act like we're talking about the topic.

SO ANYWAY, the customer service here is most excellent, IMHO. I'm thinking anyone would would complain about something so petty must have issues. Perhaps he was like me, and the nine hardest years of his life were potty training...
My wife used to call me anal, but now it is something to do with the alphabet - OCD, or something like that.

SO ANYWAY, the customer service here is most excellent

Where else can you get justice and talent?
Here, blues from another thread. How is this inclusion relevant? Why, to show the multifaceted approach to writing about Bad Guys:



I got them BOI soap opera blues
Yeah them BOI soap opera blues
Got a weekend and some popcorn
An I ain't got nuthin to lose.

But this train gone far enough down the track
Yeah this BOI train, it gone far enough down the track
We be gettin to the point now
Where we don't know fiction from fack.

Climb up and take de high road, and just walk away
Through dat mud up to de high road, and just walk myself away
Put up de buttery popcorn
For some other day

De mens and de wimmens, dey fight all the livelong day
Dose mens and de wimmens, just fight all the day
Guess gettin' in da middle
Ain't solvin it and it just don't pay

My popcorn be lonely, but dere's worser things than dat
Yeah my popcorn be lonely but there's worser things that dat
Can't tell nohow
Who is fakin' and who's da rat.

And that's all I need. Oh, and this lamp over here... and this ping-pong-paddle over here... and this dog... (Hopefully there are some Steve Martin fans out there)
