    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy Fluker Farms AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! Filthy

Alexandrina said:
I have only posted at Fauna a handful of times, so I am assuming you are referring to how I unmasked a poser in The Reptile Etc...thread. The guy runs around all over the net pretending to be a high ranking military hero when in fact, he was kicked out as a specialist for bad behavior, plus he was charged with fraud for falsifying documents during his domestic abuse case.

I guess if the poser was a buddy of someone's they'd think what I did was "fishy" and hold a grudge against me. That explains your behavior a bit.

You may think what I said about him was unrelated to the thread but a person's habitual lying is relevant when they are taking up for a known scammer, at least in my opinion it is. I think what I said was appropriate. The only thing I did that wasn't appropriate was posting the same info in a different thread. I wanted people to know that the guy was a liar so they wouldn't trust him but I probably should have created a new thread for that and not posted it in that other guy's BIO. It could have derailed the thread.

We are a military family so posers seriously annoy us and I wanted to spread the word about the guy. Some people, like TattooLost, may not care about scumbags who pretend to be military heroes, but some of us in the world care a great deal and would want to know if someone in the herp biz is a poser. To me and people like me, what he did was a big deal and worth telling people about. You can disagree if you want but if that's what you're basing your "fishy" opinion of me on, that says more about you than it does about me.

Hear is something frustrating to me. You have again gone over the top, you are trying to defend yourself by being a hypocret and passing judgment on someone else. Tattoo was refering to another post you had made, and instead of asking questions you jumped to the emotional assumption he was friends with this guy and trying to defend him. Stop jumping in and start thinking about things before you post. This situation could have been handled differently if you would calm down and be as proffesional as you are asking others to be this would be over already and you lagitament problem would have been heard. A person can not defend them selves by battering others.

So far what? Do you know for a fact whether or not they have or have not already made this right?

So quick to jump to conclusions Lucille. I wasn't insinuating that they did or did not take care of Sandra, thus the "but so far..." comment. We don't know. Read my post again without an agenda and don't edit my post to suit your false pursuit. Post the whole sentence next time.

Another great example of the mindset often displayed here. A totally irrelevant post. Are you saying now that my opinion is faulty because you deem me as being in the minority? Is that the message you want readers to believe? That was a very shallow thing to say in my opinion and please don't lose sight of the fact that many of the people posting in this thread chime in frequently in alot of threads and are NOT the majority of readers here who may have opinions contrary to yours but don't feel the need to get the attention that some members here obviously long for. The photos/e-mails painted a picture that would certainly persuade me from doing business with Flukers. Thank you Sandra.

So my thought doesn't matter? Is that what YOU are saying? I was simply stating that I THINK you are in the minority with your opinion. I THINK most people thus far have seen her to be acting like a hot head and blowing things out of proportion.

It is funny that you seem to THINK, that your posts are the only ones that matter.

Maybe the Patriots would have won if you were on their defense :rolleyes:

Way to go Chris, keep 'em comin:rofl:

Looking at your past posts, it seems that you are good at going on and on. I get it this is fun....

Regardless of what YOU think though, Flukers is still running fine and the OP still flipped out :shrug01:

I don't think that at all. I respect many opinions that are contrary to mine. Your thoughts are no less, and no more, important than mine. funny you initial post regarding my being in the minority was missing the words "with your opinion". I was simply stating in so many words that there is no possible way for you to know that in my opinion.

Amanda, I'm ASSuming that kunnard is up to his old trolling habits again.

Do yourself a favor, put him on ignore. You'll miss NOTHING of consequence and enjoy the site quite a bit more.

Plus, it REALLY irks him to know people aren't listening to his drivel.

Watch, he'll be on in not time telling us that he doesn't care who doesn't listen, proving, once again, that he does. He's like a clothes dryer. Round and round and round he spins, going nowhere and full of hot air.
 
The bottom line is the customer received an order that was full of beetles and the merchant, Flukers, has not given the refund that was discussed. Put yourself in the OP's shoes. Flukers has been notified and not showed up. It seems the title BAD GUY fits.
 
Lucille said:
Why is that?
Click to expand...

This was made as a "Bad Guy" thread. The evidence presented shows one order that dissatisfied a customer unintentionally, and was then handled professionally by their CS department. Nothing presented supports the making of the "Bad Guy" thread. That's why it should be closed. If you want to state opinions of Flukers, make an informational thread, or do it on the general forums. The BOI is about evidence, and the evidence here is that she over reacted and created this thread out of spite.

That's right people, do as the mighty Wes says and not as he does. I am obviously not on your ignore list Wes, no matter how many times you plead for everyone else to do so as you have in other threads. Your comment about me being irked is wrong as you so often are. Yet again you call me a troll for having an opinion that differs from others here and for defending my opinions. A ridiculous and shallow tactic that you have long been guilty of. It's getting old and boring Wes. This is yet another typical example of some of the inane and instigatory posts that have graced this thread. Drivel? Troll?
 
something just seems odd here,flukers is very prompt to give refunds to customers right away and i know this first hand i had to call flukers 5 times due to cricket issues and not one had a issue with a refund or replacement,and just because some one don't come here to respond does not make them a bad person
 
As I said before, I'll wait to shake my finger when I know they haven't issued a refund. Given the op's penchant for, in my opinion, overstatement, I cannot take her word on that just yet.
 
How do you know that?
Click to expand...


No, I have not gotten a refund yet.

Just for the sake of arguing (which a lot here seem to want to do), say no one shows up from Flukers, is this OP ALWAYS going to be seen as being in the wrong?

I know why the BOI is here, and it serves its purpose. But there are times when some of The Pack make it very difficult for people to tell their story.

I was under the impression that the BOI allowed people to recount their experiences good and bad, and for onlookers to decide how much credence they will give to what they read after weighing all that has been brought to the table, and use the information accordingly.

So how the OP is seen is up to each reader who reads over these posts and they may then in turn express how they see the situation just as the OP has done.

EXACTLY!

What has been brought to the table is a customer who received far from what they ordered, a company who said they would give a refund, and a customer who said they have still not received a refund. Maybe you are privy to some info I may have missed.

Unsubsrcibed to this nonsense. Good luck to the OP.

Shane, are you saying that you believe all of what all OPs write on this site? I'm not volunteering an opinion one way or another right now, just yet, I have to wait and see. Maybe you are privy to some info I may have missed.
 
That's how you see it Shane. Over here, I see an overly dramatic customer who got a shipment of crickets that MAY have contained a large number of beetles she was scared of. After complaining and getting a reasonable response, she was still not satisfied and accusatory. She was then told perhaps she should shop else ware.

To me, that one picture does not prove her claims. That many bugs with 3000 crickets isn't that bad IMO.

The op's attitude from the beginning (avoid like the plague and claiming to do what she can to get them shut down come to mind) leave a bad taste in my mouth. Just seems way more dramatic than necessary.

Don't need to be privy to any other info to come to this conclusion.

I believe Sandra posted that she only recieved about a third of the crickets ordered, not 3,000, half of which were dead, and that there were more pests than crickets.
 
And again, that picture proves no such thing. How deep is that cup they're in. Once again, given the attitude I'm seeing from the op, I'm having a hard time believing there is no exaggeration in her claim. I'm just waiting for more info.
