    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.

    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....

GILBERT THOMPSON

Gilbert,
  We chatted once and I have to agree with everyone, you were very pleasant and seemed very sincere. I've been following this thread and thought you should know that Joe Dembinski and Evan Stahl are big time peddlers, and thank god they are. I have known Evan for awhile and Joe more recently.. BUT.. I have gotten some nice animals from Evan and Joe. Joe even went out of his way to get me a good deal from Don Hamper at Tinley Park. Breeders are great but usually concentrate on certain species, while the Evans and Joes of the hobby can help you find a specific snake or herp. Gilbert this is a great hobby with wonderful people willing to help perfect strangers daily!!! How many hobbies can you say that about? I have been to many shows on both coasts and the midwest.. you know what? I wouldn't trade the friendships I've made for anything... Your name is all you have, don't ruin it... Ron Radloff
 
Joe,
 That was not an excuse on any situation.  Can you show me that please???

Cagle,
      Your right I am whatever you say I am.  Where is your pic?
You will see I am not the liar you are calling me.  I am in fact going to that show.  I also look forward to talking with you in person.  You are the one that keeps calling me out.  If violence is what you want.  I assure you I will not take it to that level.  It will have to be you that starts out that way.
Thanks,
Gilbert Thompson
 
This is the first time in my life that I've been given the good cop / bad cop routine by the same person LOL.....

No one mentioned "the shooting" or whatever it is that you are now going to hang your bad behavior on, Sir.

I must apologise for making it appear that you phoned Joe D. at 5 am, when it was Bill Cagle that you apparently phoned at that hour.

I must congratulate you (Mr. Thompson) for believing you are smarter than we stupid reptile people. I have a brother in law in Houston that you'd probably get along with famously. He thinks he's smarter than the rest of we mere mortals too. He, at least, can spell, and he isn't as blatantly offensive as you are, but the super-intellect he believes he is in possession of comes off just as crassly as does yours.

I often wonder why people with such high IQs would stoop to menial tasks such, as police work, at all, when you (as an example) should probably be running the world economy or some other more meaningful vocation, rather than soiling your hands on the drug dealers of Texas. I'm sure you have to dumb down quite a bit in order to communicate with the lesser life forms that buy, sell and trade reptiles. You probably heard that reptile people like dope too, eh? and that's what lead you down the path to buying into snakes and such in the first place?? Come on.... you can confide in me.

I like rattlesnakes and pit bulls best of all, and I'd almost (I said almost) kill for a nice group of Blacktailed rattlesnakes, but I have to wait to get mine.... My family isn't filthy rich, and I have to support my family with my little weak-a$$ job that I go to more often than I'd like to. I spend more hours away from my family than I'd like to, and I don't have much time to waste on posting useless messages on message boards, but I felt like you are worth the little bit of time I do have this evening. You see, I'm having trouble sleeping too. I can't seem to get my arse out of bed in the morning. Do you think that if I tell everyone here what is bothering me that I'll sleep better? I don't.

I do want to thank you for the entertainment you've provided. I am sad that others have been inconvenienced by your self serving attitude and antics. You still feel as though you are completely justified in what you did. It shows in every word you write.

I'm not 6'4" tall and 250 lbs. I'm not a good fighter, in point of fact, I haven't been in a fight since I stopped drinking, 11 years ago last month. I haven't used drugs in almost as long as you've been on this earth, and if there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that you can catch far more bees with honey than you can with vinegar. You, Gilbert (Is that REALLY your name?) seem to think that you can treat everyone you deal with as though they are a perpetrator of a crime (like dirt), and as long as you provide an excuse that everything is okay. That works quite well until you get out of the third grade. I would have figured that someone who is as smart as you'd like to think you are, would have the knowledge and forethought to know that you can't treat everyone on the playground like dirt, and expect that there'll be any kids left standing around waiting to play with you.

You've managed to alienate several very nice people. The word gets around the streets pretty fast these days, what with this site and the rest of the electronic media available to breeders and "snake peddlers." There are ten times as many people who read these web sites as post here, and if you watch closely, you can see that there will be about that ratio between "views" and "posts" on your thread as well.... So, for every one comment, there'll be as many as ten people who have had a look at how you conduct yourself here.... I shouldn't have had to spell that out for someone with a superior intellect, but even Einstein made a mistake or two in his life....

So goodnight Gilbert. This may actually have been the silver bullet for my insomnia. I'm yawning and I can't seem to think of anything else to say. You've managed to dig quite a deep hole for yourself son. I hope you are a better undercover policeman than you are a businessman.

Oops, I did think of one last thing... I'd imagine that an 8500 acre cattleranch would be a PUNY cattle ranch in Texas. I'm going to ask my brother in law, you know.... the one who knows everything, what the third largest cattle ranch in Texas is called. Something tells me the owner's name isn't "Thompson".... Ever heard of "Lightsey Cattle Company?"

May God richly bless you, and may the Holy Spirit convict your heart to do the right thing..... stop behaving like a little kid bent on making people angry with you. Life is too short to make enemies.
 
I really can't resist this one...... now, we have an UNDERCOVER narcotics officer, who has posted his picture on the internet for everyone to see....... With his real name, and I believe his telephone number in this thread.... along with an admission (on his part) that he was recently involved in a shooting that was "justifiable."

So there's no chance that anyone involved in the drug culture in Texas could see or read this thread, and that they might put two and two together to come up with Gilbert and his picture, a shooting, and an undercover policeman.....

NO MAN would do this, if he were truly an undercover policeman, unless he were about ten bricks short of a full load.

Where's Richie Luna when you need him?<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?

This is almost as good as it gets.
 
HEY GILBERT, DO YOU REALLY THINK ANYONE BELIEVES ANYTHING YOU WRITE? IF I HAD A DOLLAR FOR EVERY LIE YOU HAVE TOLD JUST IN THIS THREAD, I WOULD BE A RICH MAN! YOU WILL BE AT THE DIXIE REPTILE SHOW? C'MON BRO, GET REAL! COME CLEAN! STOP THE LYING! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! NO ONE HAS CALLED YOU OUT, THIS IS WHAT YOU DID IN ONE OF YOUR ABOVE POSTS, OR HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT ALREADY? ONE LIE LEADS TO ANOTHER AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN TO STOP. ARE YOU AN UNDERCOVER NARCOTICS AGENT? ARE YOU WITH THE FBI, CIA, KBG, OR ARE YOU A SURE ENOUGH OO7?
 
Here you go!!
    T-n-T Simbrah

I have never used my profession as an excuse on anything.  I can care less what you think of my ordeal.
I didn't bring it up.
You keep talking of the $$$ thing after I already said I was sorry.  Why do you do that???
 I have dug no hole!!
 
I am done with you kids!!
You had yours and I WILL have mine!!
Thanks,
Gilbert Thompson
See ya around!!
 
hey gilbert what are you gonna have?<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?

Gilbert just phoned me at home and threatened to "stomp the sh!t out of me."

I'd like to know what kind of policeman phones people at home at 2 am and threatens to do this sort of thing?

I'd also like to know where Gilbert lives, if anyone can tell me, so I can contact the authorities to have this problem corrected.

Gilbert is not a nice boy.
 
Is this true, Gilbert?  I hope for your sake, that it isn't.  I, personally, would never threaten someone I didn't know very well, as you never know what someone has up their sleeve.  If it is the case that you called someone at 2 am to threaten them, then that is about it for your reputation.  I spoke to someone earlier about you.  They said you were a nice guy, but bad to do business with.  They said it was a shame.  They were right.
 
TO TOM OR WHOEVER IT MAY CONCERN, HERE IS ONE OF GILBERT'S MANY E-MAILS HE SENT TO ME THIS WEEKEND. I'M SURE HE'S TRIED TO CALL ME, BUT I'M ONLINE, SO HE'S GETTING A BUSY SIGNAL. HERE IS THE PHONE NUMBER HE E-MAILED TO ME, IN ORDER TO GET MY BANKING INFO. THIS WAS DONE BEFORE THE DEAL WENT SOUR, SO I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S HIS REAL NUMBER. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU REACH THE AUTHORITIES TOM. TOO BAD I DIDN'T GET HIS ADDRESS. MAYBE I CAN TALK TO SOME OF MY OO7 SPY FRIENDS AND GET THAT FOR YOU AS WELL.

My number is 254-746-7628

Thanks,

Gilbert

Well I have read this whole thread and I have serious doubts about Gilbert. Lets hope that he is somewhat more intelligent then he presents himself on here. However I do hope that by posting his pic no innocent police officers come to harm due to his obvious stupidity. IF that is his real pic. As far as his threatening phone call goes....if it is a long distance call..if so you could always persue it with the phone company or his department. Maybe he needs a new psych evaluation. While blowing hot and cold over deals is bad manners...and yes I have done it myself...to those I do apologise to....it is no reason when chastised for it to resort to threats of violence. The sad part is he is licensed to carry a gun.

I did the *69 thing on the phone and it came up the same number as the number Gilbert sent to Bill Cagle in one of his emails. I'm going to phone the telephone company in the morning to give them the information concerning this threat. Gilbert asked me if I "went to reptile shows" and after I replied in the affirmative, he threatened me repeatedly. I asked him to give me the name of the police department he works for, as I plan to file a formal complaint with his supervisor as well.

It is a misemeanor to use the telephone to threaten someone. He will have my phone number on his telephone bill as evidence that he called me, unsolicited, with no other intent that to threaten me. His most recent comment about "getting his" should be evidence enough to prove he was intent on exacting some revenge for being wronged. Apparently Gilbert has an anger management problem as well as a problem with keeping his word to others.

He kept saying that I called him a liar. I don't recall that, but I do recall questioning his IQ.... posting a photo of oneself, when one is alleged to be undercover isn't the brightest thing I've ever seen anyone do before, but what the heck.

I guess I'm going to go to bed, and I hope Gilbert is done making threatening phone calls for the night.....

HEY TOM, I'M THE ONE THAT CALLED GILBERT A LIAR, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO RECEIVE MY PHONE CALL!! OR BETTER YET, THAT'S RIGHT, I GET TO MEET HIM IN PERSON THIS WEEKEND AT THE DIXIE REPTILE SHOW. I CAN'T WAIT!! GOOD TO SEE YOU ON HERE ALLISON, THIS IS ALWAYS GOOD ENTERTAINMENT FOR US NIGHTOWLS. I AM QUITE BORED WITH IT ALL AND A BIT TIRED, SO I'M GOING TO JOIN TOM, AND TURN IN. GOOD NIGHT TO ALL, AND GILBERT, YOU REALLY SHOULD SEEK SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP.
 
Please refrain from the name calling.  I don't think it helps matters much, and it does belittle the name caller in the eyes of most readers.

Let everyone just post the facts and leave it at that.  Everyone reading the posts will certainly form their own opinions, and just as certainly be muttering appropriate names under their breath as they read what is posted here.

Personally, I think the Shot Himself in the Foot Club has a new member.
 
Gilbert, you have done it. You have 100% lost my respect. As you well know some of my very best friends are cops in areas where they are called to murders/rapes/violent domestics/drugs/etc every single hour of every single day. They deal with perps in body armor with guns. They have come onto scenes and found a room full of people executed. You don't have a monopoly on dealing with bad people.

Don't give me this crap about what I did to you on this forum. I have been one of the nicest people on here to you. As Joe said, YOU are the big mouth who aired your problems to the world. I used only the word "leave". I never said "medical leave" "psycological leave" "family crisis leave", etc, etc. YOU did bubba! Again, blame nobody but Gilbert for Gilberts' mistakes. The world is not out to get you. You just make it look that way. Apologize sincerely, stop being ludicrous and this ends now. That is all anyone has said. But no, you have to be insulting, name calling, sarcastic. Maybe Tracy Barker puts up with that crap but I do not. I would happily throw away a HUGE sale if somebody brought that kind of attitude with it. Money just will never be more important than my self respect. Ask these guys. Ron and Joe have seen in person where I have given up sales and told somebody to go to hell because they pulled your "It's my money, so I own you" bullsh*t. Heck, I've been over the table on a couple people in my time. Nobody holds that over me. I'll eat out of my cats' litter box before I beg for your money bubba.

I will say this to you, if you are still having trouble getting past the shooting and if you are still justifying it and using it as an excuse to be screwed up as you have here, there is a reason for that. You don't believe your own story to be true. You need real help. I don't care what age he was. If you are not able to get past shooting a gun toting criminal and living with the consequences, don't you think maybe YOU SHOULD FIND ANOTHER PROFESSION!

I tell you this, "good cop", if the person that you just called and threatened on the phone wanted to, they could have you fired tomorrow. As long as you are on leave and up on review and being watched by a psychiatrist and "tested" before you are back on active duty, this would be the straw that breaks that camels back. It certainly proves you are much too emotionally unstable to walk around with a gun in my book. No good, smart cop would be that stupid to risk his livelyhood and his families future on some dumb argument on the internet. Use your head man.

Joe, thanks again man.

Ron, you too.

Tom Townsend, you are really a piece of work. I love what you wrote here.
