Paul Spencer -- Another "One Thread Wonder" heard from . . .How nice!
"This place is supposed to be for discussion of herp related business, not attacks on someone's personal life."
No one is attacking his personal life. People are uncovering his lies about personal things that HE used to try to excuse his business (public) failures. Fred brought the personal issues into play . . .he has no one but himself to blame for that.
"Fred has had some very serious issues in his life, and no one here deserves to know what those are."
Then why did HE bring them into the picture int he first place????
"Did he take money and not ship snakes? Yes! If you had been in his place you would have done EXACTLY the same thing, because it's a matter of survival .. and nothing else."
So, if Fred gets in dire straights again and decides to rob a bank, will that be OK with you, Paul? After all, theft is theft, and we're really only talking about differences in the amount of money taken here.
"I would also say that if given a choice between buying barely enough to feed himself, or sending you a check, I'd advise him to buy food every time!"
What about being given the choice of buying food, sending an owed refund, or buying new snakes? Where do you come down on those options, Paul? Fred went with the latter option, it seems.
"You people disgust me, I am ashamed to have once been a member of this community."
You've never been a part of THIS community, Paul! Remember, you're a "One Thread Wonder" who's here to tell us all how we're doing it all wrong!!! Wow, I'm sure we're all thankful that you're now here to straighten us out!!!!
Fred, it's obvious you're reading this, so I'll just say this directly to you one more time: YOU have brought this upon yourself with YOUR lies. I was more than willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on the inconsistencies in your stories, but you made me look and feel foolish for doing so, because it is now quite obvious that YOU DID LIE about several aspects of your reasons for not being able to fulfill your responsibilities to you customers. The evidence is overwhelming . . .BUT if there is some way that we have all been made to see the evidence in a way that is not accurate, YOU have to come on here and set it all straight. Why? Because if you don't, everyone will conclude that you are a liar not to be trusted, and once that your new reputation, you're finished in this business, because TRUST is everything, as you well know!
So, come on, Fred! Tell us how that man, Frank Albury, listed as the cousin of the two men who died in that plane crash is not related to you, but has the same last name. Explain to us all how this was, so that we can see that you really were telling the truth. Believe me . . .I WANT you to be telling the truth, Fred. But you're going to have to set this straight yourself. As it is now, it looks like you stole people's money, then used the misery of another family to cover your theft. I really, REALLY hope that isn't true about you, Fred!
