    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....

Inquiry Info On Adam Kuhn Reptiles?

But instead, the thread got turned into a "let's bring BP.net drama into the BOI and continue to attack Deb over here because it's even more fun on the BOI than it is at BP.net!" There was no reason whatsoever to bring any of the BP.net links or posts into it. There was no reason to question Deb's motives for making the inquiry either......it should have been allowed to run its course and anyone knowing Adam should have been given the chance to say so without having to wade through all this drama that had nothing to do with him.
:hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:
Finally, somebody else that gets it.
Thank you, Judy. I started a similar post twice this morning, and got interrupted before I completed the one that would have been okay to post (the first one was a bit more stream of consciousness, and I wasn't too concerned with complete thoughts, language, etc).
I haven't been around as much as usual over the past 2 days, but the Deborah & Joe Show has run its course...it needs to stop here. This inquiry sat here, without response for two days. Only when Kelly posted a positive comment did Joe decide we needed to know why Deborah was asking. As it happened, about an hour and a half later, the other thread was locked, and the crap flowed over here.
I have disliked this thread since that started, and for a variety of reasons. First, and foremost, a whole bunch of stuff was posted about this transaction - but not a single word from the buyer or seller...you guys remember them, right? The two people actually involved in the transaction. Further, the OP of the thread on BP.net is, to everybody except Deborah, an anonymous party. The vast majority of this thread is a bunch of people talking about an anonymous post on a different forum (does anybody else see an issue with that?)...and relatively little of it has to do with the transaction between what'shisname and Adam Kuhn.
Believe it or not, Adam Kuhn is the subject of this inquiry - NOT Deborah.
If anybody wants to gripe about Deborah's opinion, or the way she handled this situation...or Joe H's involvement, for that matter - take it to Hell. (If a BOI thread pops up because of this, there had better be a legitimate transaction to point to).

I suppose I should thank you guys for bringing back the crankiness, I was starting to think I was losing my edge
 
I am not familiar with Adam, but I just checked the weather for the Havre De Grace area, and it looks like the day time HIGHS will be in the mid 30's max for the next 10 days.
I would not ship either.
 
No one else felt that it needed to be posted here..JUST YOU and your little friend Joe started the drama..it's so attractive and others of like mind will usually join in...I try and avoid that kind of stuff, but some people just got to.

Dammit Deb, I'm not friends with Joe OR Adam. In fact, I can't say that I've interacted had personal communications with ANY regular posters on this board. Stop with your assumptions.

Second, I'm attracted to drama? Anyone else think it's ironic that YOU are telling me that? The whole crap storm that is the Adam Kuhn threads started because of YOU!
 
As for JOE and the rest.....all I am seeing is a desire to throw gasoline on the flames and attack someone for very little reason at all. I wouldn't have an issue with pointing out how Deb could have handled things differently. But you guys go so far beyond that it's unreal. You're constantly and repeatedly making assumptions about her motives and intentions and stating them as facts. You take what few actual facts there are in this matter and completely misstate them...over and over again, as if repitition will somehow make them true.

Judy, I agree completely. In fact, I initially had no intentions of getting involved in the thread. After reading the initial thread in bp.net I decided to throw in my opinion on the matter. I attempted to give my opinion as calmly and rationally as possible; however, calmly and rationally lost it's footing once Deb began her own unreasonable diatribe against me.

Yes, this thread is no longer about Adam or the buyer, and for that reason will be left alone.

:>off_to<: sounds like Spring, to me. It was -16 when I got home this morning, with a forecast high of +8...supposed to make it up to 12 tomorrow. The only thing I want to ship is myself, to someplace warm enough to let my face thaw.

You may disagree with her opinion and even her actions...but your attacks on her character are baseless and do nothing but make you seem like tiny little people who get off on bringing others down for your own personal entertainment.

Judy, I really agree with the majority of you post....but please don't lump all "the rest of us" together. I made no assumptions about Deb's motives or intentions (or even if I did, did not feel the need to post them here)....I simply asked what I thought were legitimate questions regarding the deal itself. Nothing personal at all pointed toward Deb, other than I was suprised that she was saying it shouldn't have been dragged here. I would have expected it, had I been the one posting the original inquiry, but nevertheless it doesn't mean that it should have come to the level it has. Of course, there is no singular party responsible for bringing it to that level...

Pftht, it was -22 here last night, -30 the night before...I think the high temp yesterday was -10. There just ain't enough heat packs to keep ANYTHING warm here!

Please accept my apology for not wording it better. I didn't mean to sweep everyone into the same pile. Certainly there are plenty of legitimate questions to ask, as none of this makes much sense to begin with. It's just those involved in trying to assassinate her character that I'm having a hard time with.

Joe...if you don't want to be singled out, then stop trying to be the lead-dog on a hunt for the wrong prey. :rolleyes:
 
Cry me a River Deb!!

Probably not...but having someone come on here and make false accustions isn't going to have me being very polite. I already have my name being used in a nasty way from associating with this site. I wasn't about to tolerate anymore. After my ads run out, it's doubtful that I will ever be back..so don't worry over much on my behavior. :)

All I did was give you a neg point for calling someone a name...... Jeeez:rolleyes:
 
Well just incase Adam does not make it here to reply here is his reply on bpnet.Note Deb even thanked him for reaming herself and the kid :rolleyes:.Its post 110. http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=82405&page=11

Both of you kids understand something.

Just because this is fauna does NOT mean that I must agree with how everyone else does business...no one agreed with how I "force fed" a hatchling..but I don't see anyone accusing you of "ruining" my name or any such thing. You disagreed and I respected that disagreement and tried to explain.

I still think the seller could have met the child waaaay before 6 weeks was past if he honestly thought that the child was at fault. But I have explained my reasoning and I stand behind it.

I don't think that disagreeing with how someone does something means allllll the things that were said.

You got this right, JAS..I am not built for so much drama, stress, and lies. I expressed an opinion. Hang and quarter me!

Yep, I thanked him. Do you have a problem with that? sheeese. I thanked him for making it PERSONAL..I simply asked if it was the same person and disagreed with how it was handled. I didn't call him names.

:rofl:You can give me as many neg points as you like. I simply explained WHY I lost my cool. But you drug it here to drag out the crap.

BUT don't you think that it was quite hypocritical of you?? As many names as you call, I shoudl be flattered that you singled me out? :rofl::rofl: Saint JAS? :rolleyes:

Deb all i will add to this thread is a couple lessons EVERYONE should learn from this thread.1 DO NOT deal with a child who kills snakes then lies to others in order to get a new snake.2 DO NOT slam a vendor/breeder about a deal if you do not have ALL the facts.3 Keep your nose out of someone else's deal UNTIL you have ALL the facts from both sides.4 Have self respect enough to admit you were wrong for getting involved in someone else's dealings.Now the real losers in this whole deal are the poor snake you gave to that kid and the one he gets from Adam.
 
I must say I found Adam online selling corn snakes and went to pick them up today. He invited me and my family into his place with no hesitation at all, was willing to stand and shoot the breeze with us and answer any question asked. He is a great person and his operation is top notch. I could not be more pleased!!!!
