    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Heavy parasite load found in ball python from Ed Clark

I can see your point and I agree with your opinion 100% but he is still a coward in my book. I mean there are people on here that have made mistakes. But they showed guts by fessing up and moving on...

Agreed, however, I find people that have good hearts need no prodding in doing the right things and fessing up. To fess up now would be rather late IMO, it would not set him in a good light as I can see. If he would have made good when this started that would be a different story, but the dodging and darting is just damn poor of him.

People that want to do the right thing from the start don't act like this, they see the mistake fast and fix it, JMHO.

:iagree: Well Said Bobby...
 
This isn't about confessions. I don't think anyone here wants to play Ed's priest.

This about setting the record straight. Ed remarked to Emily that he was uncertain whether he sent ch or cbb animals in the trade with her. He claimed he had select animals vet checked but has not sipplied any evidence to prove this was done.

What she and other are seeking is clarification on the issues. Simple clarification.
 
Oooops!! Ed...you let your thread slip off of the first page! Oh wait...that's not your fault, is it? It's never your fault!

All teasing aside...Ed...I realize your desire to have a successful business. But don't you understand that if you were honest and upfront about exactly what kind of business you're running, and the origin of the animals you are selling....your business would be SO much more prosperous...and definitely WAY less stressful on yourself. Personally...I think it's not too late to turn things around...if the turn-around were genuine, and not just an attempt to collect the pieces of a shattered reputation.
 
Hey Ed, today marks a great day in history for your defense team of Bruce & Bud. NASA launched the shuttle this morning carrying the original Luke Skywalker light sabre to the space station to mark the 30th anniversary of the film.

I watched it all live from my backyard with a tear in my eye from laughter.

I have quite the imagination and I just pictured you three aboard the shuttle in zero gravity fighting over the light sabre....you lying to mission control that everything is ok.....Bud smashing at all the buttons like a monkey and Bruce eating a box of yodels upside down.

It just gets really bizarre from that thought forward so I'm just gonna spare everyone. Erase from memory banks.
 
So at what point do these posts that are clearly, in fact expressly, made for the purpose of keeping this thread bumped become unacceptable?

Nothing new is being added, but it keeps floating back to the top with hollow posts, pushing other active threads onto page two. A disservice to the people involved in those active issues.

These last few pages have been utter crap that crossed over the line that should seperate honest criticism and outright harassment. They contributed nothing of value and only give credit to the arguments that the level of response was disproportional to the facts surrounding the situation.
 
Seamus is right.

However, mr. clark is now so disliked that no one wants let slide that he's a scumbag.

People that defended him long ago are offended by his behaviour. People that never liked him are getting their digs in. People are letting newbs know that he is a scumbag.

I can see both sides of this coin.

Sooner or later Seamus, it will sink. But since he tried so hard so long to avoid this sinking, lying and hiding, I have been loath to do anything about it being brought up with no real new information.

Besides, there is always an outside chance that he'll actually answer one of the many unanswered questions if he's asked enough times.

Anything to say for yourself mr. clark?

No Chuck, I am not.

It's been made very clear in the past that people bumping a thread without contributing just to keep it bumped should not be doing so. Every BOI thread is important to the people participating in it and these empty posts, some of which even specifically say they are being made with no other goal than to bump the thread- everytime they put THIS back on page one, someone else's issue gets moved to page two. Ed's obviously never going to address this subject, the topic has reached whatever conclusion it's going to, it's over.

One of the worst things about this forum, from my perspective, is the way I can find myself in agreement with someone about a conclusion they arrive at but stuck disagreeing with the way they choose to express themselves. People who are trying to agree, but have methods that are so inane or ineffective that their attempts are actually detrimental to anyone who's trying to debate the same side. The ones who go off on idiotic tangents and shift the entire basis of a conversation, the ones who jump at the chance to draw a stupid side conclusion and form an argument that's illogical or wrong. The ones who don't actually add any kind of intelligent, reasonable argument to justify their position but just play around with photo editing programs to crack junior high quality jokes about sexual orientation and crossdressing.

Chuck, your contributions to this thread and this subject were utterly devoid of value. They were trite, they were juvenile, they were a roadblock to everyone who was trying to sit down and actually dissect the situation to find the truth and you were not alone.

The whole thing was bulldogged too hard too fast, there was no subtlety and no finesse and as a result, Ed never stuck around to actually say anything that was 100% proof positive incriminating. All the people who were convinced he was scum before this thread was started are still convinced of it. All the fence sitters are left without enough proof to draw a conclusion. Ed's cheering section are still convinced he's a good businessman. What a monumental waste of resources and effort.

Shh... be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting Wabbits.

Reckon you're not talking to me since I'm neither obsessed nor angry.

Disappointed, vindicated, sad, amused, amazed, but not obsessed or angry.

Hey mr. clark, why are you locking all your ads? Afraid of some sort of truthes being told in them?

Sorry, neither obsessed nor angry. Not even disappointed given that it's you.

Don't you think that you owe Emily an apology for what you said?

And how 'bout straight answers?

And Seamus, if you don't like that some of us are bumping this thread, perhaps a complaint to the big guy might be in order. My guess is he'll tell you to kiss where the sun don't shine.
 
Hit submit too fast. One other thing Seamus, you said

You know this how? I would wager that many if not most of the "fence sitters" have more than enough "proof" to know that Ed is not to be trusted and those same "fence sitters" would now choose not to do business with him where previously they may have.
 
As long as Ed keeps placing ads/ bumping ads here, it would seems to be the right thing to do, we will give him the highlight he deserves, JMHO.

Sad doesn't even begin to cover it, IMO.

I can't believe even Ed would be so crass as to make a post like that. What a :censored: loser.

And of course Ed is happy.....he got several hundered dollars worth of cresties for what was probably $45 worth of CH import junk.

Seriously? Snakes with parasites that may very well be CH imports instead of holdback quality CBB snakes is hardly something to smile and be happy about. Maybe it is for you, Ed, since you made plenty of money on the deal (and probably others like it), but it isn't so much for the rest of us.
