    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.

    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....

:thumbsup: I think it is funny when you look at some of the threads that have posts in the thousands! People just can't let things go,they drag them on forever.If I got ripped off,I would post it to warn people,not to ask for sympathy and cry about it for a year.
 
Wow Adam, pretty lame , now you're running around the BOI whining about how you were treated in this thread http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101694

David got taken to task for his open support of a Known scammer, then having his feeling hurt he kept on about it and stated he didn't care who they screwed as long as it wasn't him.. Hey if you are worried about and are going to get upset by peoples comments on Your opinion then maybe you should rethink your opinion.

David when you support a Known scammer what do you expect.. As for your comment ""If I got ripped off,I would post it to warn people,not to ask for sympathy and cry about it for a year.""
You wouldn't be deserving of our sympathy as you have stated that as long as your deal goes well you don't care what happens to others. One of your many problems is that you seem to feel that you are entitled to your opinion but no one else is.. I bet you'd cry about it for longer than that you just seem to be that kind of guy.. Heck I bet after your BS posted here that if someone screwed you over you'd never say a word about it here.. You'd live in fear of the I Told You So's. Funny thing is that you likely have set yourself up to be taken as anyone who looks at your comments here has to think the same thing IE he wont complain after saying what he has,,. Randy
 
I have no shame about that thread nor am I whining about it. You people have no right to damage a person's reputation because they don't agree with you and I will call that crap when I see it from now on. I knew someone would attack me for even saying that what I said in this thread, no matter how neutral. PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE TO BE AFRAID TO POST THEIR EXPERIENCES!! Good or bad, deal with it.
 
Adam, then why did you post in this thread ? I can answer that for you you saw a thread with someone else who gave their support to a bad guy and you went looking for companionship..

If you really thought about it, Mike and company here are sure enough scammers. Where the guy you defended seems to be sliding down that slope but hasn't out and out stolen from anyone we know of but has to be kicked to fork over money he owes.

No they don't need to be afraid but when you support bag guys anyone with half a brain knows they are going to get taken to task for it. Seems like an easy choice to me, if you don't like the negative consequences of your actions then don't take those actions..Randy
 
The only person I defended was the guy who had a GOOD experience and was bashed for it. I find it hard to belive you are really that stupid as to really think I was defending anyone else in the thread, but I have been fooled before.

what the hell is this randy? Why would you attack a guy who just stated he recvd an order that was fine??
 
HopingForBabies said:
Oh how the Fauna clan will rain down on you.If you look into my posts,you will see I defended them,and was called many names and my integrity was questioned.I had a great transaction with them and I talked to Mike about these posts about them and he explained alot to me also.Good luck and let the feeding frenzy begin!!!

That is how they roll on the BOI mate. If you question, defend, or even suggest something about what they deem the wrong person, then you are suddenly labeled a bad guy. I suggest no one let these people bully you into silence with threats or attacks on your reputation.
If you had a good experience with who they deem a "bad guy" let people know and if you have a bad experience with someone they deem a "good guy" you should definitely let people know.

Adam, did you read the thread he is referencing or are you just agreeing with him on the basis that his accusation is one that you agree with?
 
The latter Dennis. The guy said his order was fine, that's all. I see no reason to jack someone up like that because he evidently had a good experience. I have not seen any other thread involving him.
 
Might want to read what all the guy said Adam and then we can discuss who's stupid. David seems to be making a BOI career out of trying to rescue bad guys on the BOI.. He seems to be the type that if we all posted that the sky was blue he'd say no it is pink.

Again Adam you have gone to the defense of someone you really don't know and who has a known track record . I hate to say it but you and David both have something in common, you both get your backs up and try to defend someone who is really indefensible. As they say ignorance is no excuse you once again jumped before looking..

Hey I can understand you're upset after getting hammered in that thread but you're not going to make things better this way. In the future when someone you know steps in it, might be best to let them come here and speak for themselves. Randy
 
I based my response on one post and one reply. Neither one had anything to do with another thread in question. Me "getting hammered" on the other thread is kinda funny, I did as much hammering as anyone. Just like the post in this thread I never defended anyone, just advised that IMO he would get paid because I had never heard of anyone NOT paid by Allen. I also stated there that I did NOT defend him writing a bad check nor defend him for not paying as agreed. Simply that he would come through with the cash, which he did. That was it and even though people can go read that, they still say I was defending him, which is silly.
If this guy in RI did have a good experience with whoever these people are, he should not be bashed for saying so. I have also seen people bashed for having a problem with a good guy. I remember the Bill Leverton thread where people defended him like crazy at the expense of the poster then it turned out to be true. What about TSE as well? A former "good guy" and BOI Judge/Jury member.

I agree with you that one should post their personal experiences regardless of claim of bad or good to deal with.
I believe that the gentleman was called out not for specifically stating he had a good transaction with someone that has a bad thread but for the way he took offense and disregarded others experiences.

After the thread he has posted in several others regarding his treatment. I don't really think it's a fair representation of what took place. Below is what I posted to him on another thread.

It's funny how it works on here.You get ripped odd,and you become the bad guy.You post your experience and it gets turned on you.People lose sight of the original problem.It happened to me too!

Not to take this to far off but since you felt the need to post this here and it peaked my curiosity as to how you were treated so badly by Fauna, I looked at the thread you are referencing.

You were not called out for having a good transaction with someone, but you were in regards to your opinions about dealing with others that have fraudulent transactions.
HopingForBabies said:
Lots of people on here have ripped people off,but people still buy from them.I am not the only one.If they didn't do anything wrong to me,why do I care.I am not saying they didn't do that to other people,but I have other things to think about than other peoples deals.How many deals do you think they made in the last few years?

Many here have a different opinion than you and choose to express their thoughts on what you posted. I for one am glad they did. The whole purpose of this community is to help protect others from the very thing you care nothing about.

HopingForBabies said:
There isn't that many people complaining.There are other people on here with far more complaints against them,and people still buy from them.Walmart has ripped off people,but to save a couple bucks,I am sure you would go there to buy products.My experience was good,if yours wasn't,take that up with them.I am sure everybody was hoping I would get ripped off,just to prove thier point.

No comment needed. Simply put, you didn't like the fact that someone posted links on your good guy thread to multiple bad guy threads about the people you did business with. You helped spiral the thread down by your responses.

Have a good day!

Anyway, that's my understanding of what took place.

I believe it is fair for someone to post a positive transaction for someone that has had some bad transactions. I believe it's just as fair to post relative links to the topic for others and to mention that the experiences were different in the corresponding links.

Is it a debatable point that one who does business with someone that has "bad guy" threads is supporting the actions of those he does business with? In my opinion, Yes and No. I would think that the correct answer would depend on the individual circumstances of each situation and the poster.

The way such threads are made and the comments within subsequent posts certainly dictate some sense of the integrity of the poster.

I disagree that once someone has a bad guy thread and that they are labeled as such that one can't post a good recommendation without being targeted.
It has more to do with how it is presented.
 
Well,it started with everybody bashing me for buying from a "scammer" when I said I ordered from them before knowing about them.When I said it went good and I would buy from them again,people didn't like that.They thought because they got ripped off,I should have too.When you are calling me names,I don't care how your deals go.Why should I?It should have been,happy your deal was good,but look at this!!! Of course I don't like to see people taken,but show me respect and you will get it in return.
 
I have been working with them as of late to whole sale some bearded dragons to them. I thought the transaction was going great until it came time for them to send me a check for the dragons. It never came. I have tried to e-mail them a few times to see if the deal was still on with no answer back. I guess I am not relay missing out on much. This was my first attempt to whole sale anything and I did learn a few things in the process so I guess I can remain neutral.

We showed you the respect you showed us IE none what so ever. You want respect then earn it. You whining and crying about it isn't helping your image.

We didn't think you should have been ripped off too! where do you come up with this stuff? You defended these Scum even after you knew what they were and that is why people dumped all over you.. This right here is the biggest reason people took issue with you """I don't care how your deals go.""" you said it and keep saying it. Hey think and feel how ever you want we don't care but don't be so surprised when people take issue with you then.. Randy
 
I HAD BOUGHT SOME FROGS FROM HIM WHEN HE WORKED AT EXOTIC REPTILES JUNGLE . I GOT THE WRONG FROGS ,THEN I GOT THE RUN AROUND, THEN THE FROGS DIED. THEY CAME IN LOOKING REAL BAD. LETS SAY I WILL NEVER DO ORDERS FROM THEM AGAIN. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE JUST ASK MIKE NOVY ON TALK TO THE FROG. HE KNOWS A LOT OF PEPOLE THAT WAS BURNED BY THEM. I WOULD SAY STAY AWAY FROM THEM.
