    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.

Gilbert Thompson - Very UNPROFESSIONAL

Well gilbert, as long as you're not going to keep your word and stay away, would you please answer my questions?

Are you really in law enforcement? Do your superiors know about your racism and hotheadedness?

Waiting oh so expectantly,
Wes Pollock
 
I understand Razanne but I cannot just sit back and let a bunch of lies about me unfold. What I said to John was very wrong and immature. I explained why and appologized to the others that were offended. I had a moment of weakness and displayed a terrible character flaw. I simply cannot do anything else. The one thing I can do is correct a lie and be civil. They want me to get upset but I refuse!! I am much more in control with myself today as opposed to a year ago. I am not ashamed of that. I am proud of it. The more they insult the more they look like fools. I should know I have been there and momentarily went there the other day with John. The truth of the matter is this:
I don't know John and should not have said what I did. I don't know that man personally.
Just like every insulter on this board doesn't know me personally. They are jumping on a image of what they think I am am. Either based on what I have said now or in the past. They seem to prefer the past. That is fine with me now because I am a better person now.
I am primarily a collector. I do sale stuff on occassion. My business has never been hurt due to anything on here. Qualtiy animals are Quality animlas. Do yoy think people are concerned with wether or not I have a temper? I am among one of the pickiest people alive, I bet.
A majority of the trash talkers here are selling stuff. They are hurting themselves far worse than I ever could. So they can rock on with their insults. Lets' see where they are 10 years from now. I know where I will be and have already proved I can weather the storm.

Gilbert,

First off I was a fully sworn Law Enforcement Officer and not an informant. And yes I know there is a difference.

I agree that even a person who lives their life as a Cristian can make mistakes but they admit them and apologize for them and try their best to never let them happen again. This is not what I see you doing on this. If you were sorry about what you said to John you would have applogied and asked his forgiveness but instead you basically decided to blow it off as just your anger like it was no big deal. Also I am not an expert on Christianity by any means but I do know some about it and have seen way to many people use it as a tool for sympathy from others when they are having problems.

The threat I referred to is below. Whether or not you think it is a threat it can be construed as a threat. It just is not directed at anyone in particular this time.

Gilbert Thompson said:
One day, you are going to run into someonbe unlike me that will not take this laying down.
Someone is going to get hurt or worse all behind this stupid hideing behind the screen and being a jerk.
 
Yes Wes, I am and have nothing to hide. I am currently under going anger management classes (started a few months back) and have improved a lot. I realized I had a problem!! I had a slip up the other day but I am recovering.
How about you?
Gilbert Thompson
 
Rob,
Look back and see where I have appologized numerous times. I beleive you are reading into it what you wanted too.
As far as, that being a threat. Not only does it NOT contian any reasonable suspicion or probable cause of being a threat. Nor would it be coinsidered a threat in any state of the United States. I know! I haven't been out awhile like you.
You are simply seeing what you want to. Read it with an open mind!!
Thanks,
Gilbert Thompson
 
Just what, exactly, "am" you gilbert? A security guard? A sworn police officer? A crossing guard? What "am" you other that a hothead who speaks without engaging the higher funtioning parts of the brain?

You threw out informant pretty quickly earlier, are you, by chance, wearing a snitch jacket yourself? Is that how you are in law enforcement? Are you a rat?

And how about me? Go and read through my 300+ posts and see how many were written in anger. I do, on occasion, get a little verbose. If it didn't bother me so much to lie, I'd have made a great lawyer. But enough about me, as this is about you.

What "am" you?

Wes Pollock
 
Gilbert,

I am not calling you a liar, but when you made this statement in your last post, "Not only does it NOT contian any reasonable suspicion or probable cause of being a threat ..." I have a really hard time believing that a police officer, sheriff, baliff, parole officer, prison guard, rent-a-cop, or even a long time "Law & Order" viewer would misuse the term "probable cause" like that.

Probable cause has to do with the collection of evidence, search and seizure, and detaining of a suspect in the absence of a warrant. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the validity of a statement or the determination of a supposed level of threat of a statment.

If you are a police officer somewhere, all I can say is, THAT prospect is a bit scary to me. I mean, cops only use the doctrine of probable cause every single day of their careers, after all!!! If you misunderstand it to the point of using it as you did in your argument above, that is really, really frightening!
 
Darin,
You are simply wrong and speaking about something that you don't know. The statement in and of its self is for the whole world to see.
The definition of probable cause is any act that a reasonable or prudent person would think is wrong. Not text book but put into lamens terms. In this case the act would be what I wrote for the world to see. I tell you what turn it over to a judge or District Attorney somewhere and see if they will take it or if it meets the critera of ANY type of threat. While your at it check and see what the critera is for Disorderly Conduct Languge. But hey, that's never used on here is it???
Next!!
Gilbert Thompson
 
gilbert, still waiting for you to answer my questions. Is there something else you don't want us to know about you? Are you in law enforcement? Do your, if you are, superiors know about your racism and temper?

Still Waiting,

Wes Pollock
 
Fine, Gilbert. You search through the material at the following site, and SHOW me where it is that the term "probable cause" is used in connection with a satement's validity.

You, Sir, are the one who has no idea about the issue to which he is addressing himself. I am no legal expert in any sense of the term "expert," but as a graduate student in the realm of political science, I know the Constitution and the definitions of the terms of the Fourth Amendment. "Probable Cause" is a doctrine referring to the ability of the police to gain a warrant, or to perform reasonable searches and seizures without a warrant, in the instances where certain circumstances prevail.

Gilbert, if you are going to say that you did not mean to be racially motivated against John, that's one thing. If you are going to say that your bidding on deals with no intention to follow through is no over, that's fine. But please, please do not try to say that you have all of this first hand experience with the law and its basic principles, then use standardized terms in manners completely in appropriate for their actual meanings. It's just ridiculous!
 
Wes, pleae go up a few threads I answered you. Quit being so redundant.
By the way, I am not taking a personal slam on this but I am sure it will be perceived as one. You may want to consider getting that boa. Not only is it sick but I just read on the kingsnake boa forum that he just had a previous customers snake die from some disease. So that's two sick animals here recently!! But PLEASE don't take my word for it go see for your self. I am just a liar according to you.
This is not a stab at him just facts!!! That is what the BOI is about, right?? FACTS!!
Thanks,
Gilbert Thompson
 
Still waiting on those answers gilbert. It can't take this long, and you have replied back to another post or two in the interim, to just say yes or no, tell us where or not, and whether or not your superiors, if you have any, know about your racism and temper.

Come on now, enquiring minds want to know.

Wes Pollock
 
Yes Wes! They know and to be quite honest think this is a joke!! As to where don't be foolish!! That is absolutely none of your business. It is not that hard to figure out though. I welcome you to contact anyone you feel you need too and take any course of action that you deem acceptable.
Thanks,
Gilbert Thompson

Subject: What Is Septicernia??? (More inside...)
One of the boa I sold died. The buyer sent me a vet report, which states, "There is no evidence of inclusion body disease in these sections. Multiple large granulomas, comprising heterophlla, macrophages and bacteria of variable morphology, were present in the intestine and spleen. The presence of fibrin thrombi with the liver suggests a hypercoaguable state. Death appears to be the result of septicernia."
My questions are:
1) What is Septicernia?
2) What caused Septicernia?
3) Can you explain what causes the death of this snake from these science terminology?
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Subject: I think your boa died of bacteria overload (more)
sounds like he was overrun with bad bacteria. From what I understand the bad bacteria is always there, but environmental stresses can cause the good bacteria to flourish. Animals that have high bacteria loads are often stricken with frequent respitory infections. sounds like your boa died of blood poisoning caused by this high bacteria load. As for what caused the bacteria load, it could be from not being able to escape the bacteria passed through the system (dirty cages) , exposure to another sick animal, or possibly it has always been high but something in his environment allowed the bacteria to flourish (cooling). Anyway... I'm no expert, but that's what it sounds like.

Subject: hope this helps..found this one web
sep·ti·ce·mi·a

A systemic disease caused by pathogenic organisms or their toxins in the bloodstream. Also called blood poisoning.

n : invasion of the bloodstream by virulent microorganisms from a focus of infection


Septicemia

Definition:
Septicemia is the presence of bacteria in the blood (bacteremia) and is often associated with severe disease.


Alternative Names:
Blood poisoning; Bacteremia with sepsis


Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
Septicemia is a serious, rapidly progressive, life-threatening infection that can arise from infections throughout the body, including infections in the lungs, abdomen, and urinary tract. It may precede or coincide with infections of the bone (osteomyelitis), central nervous system (meningitis), or other tissues. Septicemia can rapidly lead to septic shock and death. Septicemia associated with some organisms such as meningococci can lead to shock, adrenal collapse and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, a condition called Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome.

Onset of septicemia can be heralded by spiking fevers and chills, rapid breathing and heart rate, the outward appearance of being seriously ill (toxic) and a feeling of impending doom. These symptoms rapidly progress to shock with decreased body temperature (hypothermia), falling blood pressure, confusion or other changes in the mental status, and clotting abnormalities evidenced by hemorrhagic lesions in the skin (petechiae and ecchymosis).

What is thrombosis?

Thrombosis is the formation of a solid blood clot in an arterial or venous vessel. Such a clot is formed by the same reactions that also stop bleeding from a wound. Our body has a finely tuned mechanism to stop bleeding. This mechanism, called blood coagulation is triggered when the blood comes in contact with an acutely (wound) or chronically (arteriosclerosis) damaged vessel wall. The clotted artery or vein is unable to feed blood to or drain blood from other organs which hence undergo pathological events.

What is a hypercoaguable state?

The concept of a hypercoaguable state is an attempt to express the rather slippery idea of the fine balance that the body must maintain between being able to produce a tenacious clot to stop bleeding from an open wound whilst allowing the free flow of blood around the circulatory system. If the intrinsic biochemistry of the blood of the individual in question favors clotting in this balancing act, then he displays a hypercoaguable state and is therefore more likely to develop clots in his arteries or veins with all the pathological consequences that this implies.

Here they are!!
Gilbert Thompson
 
Ok gilbert, the who would be you. What school district are you a crossing guard for?

You still haven't answered my questions. Isn't it generally, oh great and all knowing law enforecment officer, the criminal who has this problem with answering basic questions? Is it not the criminal who tries to sidetrack, as a rule, the main line of inquiry?

Don't most honest and upstanding people just answer questions when they are asked without all the drama and dog wagging?

If you are in law enforcement, what particular type of officer are you? I don't really care where you live or who your boss is or even what they think of you. But I am curious, as I have known several members of the legitimate law enforcement community that were NOTHING like you at all, to know just what branch you claim allegiance to and that would want to acknowledge such as you to be one of them.

You are the who to whom I am asking these questions about you. Can you answer them?

Wes Pollock
 
Hey Wes,
If you are so intrigued why don't you look it up?? It is public record. I tell you what Wes I am whatever you want me to be. How is that??
You stated, along the lines you knew me?? No Wes, you don't know me as I don't know you. If you did actually know me you would not be acting like this. I think you pretty much speak for yourself. Why is everyone skirting the issues I have laid out? Is it because it is not important?? Or is it a lot more fun to be rude and ugly to me? I am bursting some folks bubbles because I am not reacting the way they would like to see me react?
Let me save you some time!! You are wasteing your time!!
Gilbert Thompson
 
Ok tim, er I mean, gilbert, the above is all well and good but, don't you think a few facts would go well with that sidetrack?

I'm not even going to start on how we know nothing about how long the boa was out of John's hands before it died, or how we know nothing of how it was housed or if it was delayed or damaged in shipping. I won't even begin to discuss those items here in your sidetrack.

Back to the point.

Where and in what capacity are you in law enforcement?

Other than your word, proved to be worthless many times over here, how can you prove that your law enforcement superiors, if indeed there are any, know of your racism and temper and tendency to go off half cocked and without thinking?

Your turn,
Wes Pollock
 
In response to your last post gilbert, I am just curious to see how long you'll go on lying about the lies you've told.

Hey, did you find neil down there yet, you must be getting close.

Wes Pollock
 
Wes,
Do you have ADHD?? Look it up!!! It IS public record. You are grasping for straws. Figure it out and post it if you like. What is this with you?? I tell you what email me your number and I will give you the information over the phone but not on here. If you decide to post the information that's in your hands and it will not be in mine.
You have absolutely nothing on me!! I have been rude and that's it. You on the other hand have been rude, threatening and using abusive language. Not to mention you will be totally laughed at!!
Let me know.
Thanks,
Gilbert Thompson
 
I think you think I care about your opinion. You are the one who bragged about your affiliations and then either can't, which seems likely, or won't, which is possible, prove them. I don't care. I will read and respond here but won't waste the time doing research on you. This is at least amusing whereas looking up your data would not be.

I bet a law enforcement official could get my number pretty easy. In fact, anyone could. If you want to call me, go ahead. But, I screen my calls and generally don't talk to people I don't know or like. HMMMMM 2 out of 2 for you. Your reputation has followed you here. Your mouth has gotten you into trouble. These things were not of my doing. They are entirely of your doing.

So, if you can answer my questions, great. If you can't, you are just proving, even more than you already have, that you speak without thought to the outcome of what you say. And that you lie a lot.
