(inquiry) Rick Denmon @ Ball Boutique

[monkeywrench133]

Did you guys check the classifieds out he posted all of Joe Capone's production over on there and put his prices on them also. It appears that he is selling Joe's stuff still. Wonder if they are going to have to buy more snakes from people this year to fill orders again?

Brock

Ok, that's what I've been asking for.

I'll get the rope.

Bobby, my apologies, you were right, I was wrong.

Wes, I may be embarrassed, but I'm not ashamed that I stood up for what I thought was fair.

I hope everyone understands that.

 

[BallBoutique]

Slime and fleas......all over our bodies.

Can anyone answer the following?
Why would the most well known and respective breeder and pioneers of the herp world deal with Joe?
I can not carry their shoes and I doubt if anyone in this thread could either
I must admit I am in good company. Damn good company.
Dave and Tracy Barker [you know the folks at VPI] sent animals to MKR for a breeding project. Joe owns the Lavender Albino Male.
Don't believe me ask them.
So I feel I am in great company with their decision.
So Dave and Tracy according to this thread you are slime .....sad, really sad.

And a big congrats to you ...Dave, Tracy, Joe, Wes. they had two clutches Check it out! with LA......sweet I believe it was 2.4 LA 50% het for the LA Snow

Nice project.
I forgot to include this in my other post
FYI yes I purchased that Lucy while that picture was taken Jas.
Everything on my web site I purchased or produced.

Thanks,

Erin, go back and read from post #46, make sure you read #49. The answers are all here, I knew they were going to come out, I have been waiting almost a year for this one.

 

[Wilomn]

You are right Bobby, it isn't just about ball pythons.

Let me ask a simple, hypothetical question:


How would you feel? What would you do? if someone posted a thread on here that said:

"Bobby Hill (Wes Pollack, Cat 72, Monkeywrench133, fill in the blank) Is Partnered with Chris Johnson!! And PROVE THAT YOU AREN'T!!!"

This isn't about ball pythons, its about being fair.

So, can you prove that Rick is partnered with Joe Capone?

Yes or No?

I'm all for hanging scammers/liar/scumbags high, but I need to KNOW that that's what they are first.

Correct me if I'm wrong, purely a rhetorical as I am NOT wrong, but is not your opinion of who is a bad guy just that? Your opinion. Bobby's may or may not match up to yours which may or may not match up to mine.

Why should ANYONE have to adhere to YOUR standard?

IF you don't believe it, that rick and joey capony are partners or doing business together or however you want to word it, go on record and say so.

But you have not got a lock on who's good and who's bad, nowhere near what some other members seem to have here, Bobby being one of them.

I smell TUNA. Bigtime. And it's not just your name, madame wrench, being so close to that of ANOTHER tool, sludgehumper er, sledgehammer, but that oh so subtle, NOT, aroma drifting over here from rick's place.

Hmmmm, could that be Spanish Mackeral mixed in with the Tuna?

 

[Bill & Amy]

FYI yes I purchased that Lucy while that picture was taken Jas.

So thats a yes, that is Joe's hand and place of business in the picture.

So in your first response, you dragged Ralph into this...and now Dave and Tracy.

Nice going, Rick....

Wes,

Erin (Monkeywrench) is good people. Nothing at all like sledge or the others like sledge. Erin just wants what we all want, for things to be judged fairly, honestly and with proof.

Not everyone is capable of seeing through the muck as quickly as others. No sense in bashing a good man for that or lumping him in with the likes of sledge. Or for standing up for what he believes in. Particularly when what he believes in are good things.

Again, Erin is good people. A person I am very glad I have gotten to know a little bit.

Now here, Erin, is what a solid reputation is worth.

I am willing to consider that I may have been wrong about you based solely on Shrap's word.

Hopefully you'll see the value of that word.

 

[varnyard]

Rick, did Joe blackmail someone at Reptile Auctions? Did you know about this? Were you his partner then?

What says ya Rick?

I missed this, are you saying that Joe is still at MKR? We did read that correct? Oh this just keeps getting better and better.

 

[monkeywrench133]

Wes, I truly do appreciate what Sammy said. But not because he said here on the BOI for all to see. I appreciate it because I have a great deal of respect for Sammy. That fact that he paid me the compliment of saying what he did is the important part to me.

I will say this, and then I need to go:

Given a choice between having a good reputation, or standing by my principles, is no choice. I'll stand by my principles, and unfortunately, I was wrong this time.

Again, I apologize to Bobby.

 

[varnyard]

Again, I apologize to Bobby.

I missed the apology earlier, I except it, but I do not feel you owed me one. It is I that owe you one, sometimes I get a bit hard, but often times it is needed to get the truth out. I am sorry I bit into you for doing what you felt was right.

Sammy's word is also good enough for me, if sammy says you are a good guy, then that means a lot to many of us here. Welcome to the mix Erin.

 

[Cat_72]

I think a lot depends on what your definition of "partners" is. There's official partners, then there's just working together on a couple projects, then there's folks who are wrapped around other folks little fingers, for reasons known to a few.

I have no problem with someone who did business with Joe in the past.....heck, I made a purchase from Joe back in the day.

If Rick isn't involved at all in Joe's business, why did Rick PM me this morning to remind me that I still have a $500 credit with Joe?

And why is it every time the Reptile Classifieds "thing" is mentioned, no one wants to talk about it?

No Harm, No Foul, Bobby

But thank you for the welcome!

 

[Bill & Amy]

He definitely has alot more going on with Joe than he's telling here.

 

[varnyard]

Yea Cat, I wonder why no one wants to talk about Reptile Auctions/classifieds?

Does that hit a nerve? I bet it does, ask Joe, Rick, or do you already know?

 

[Bill & Amy]

Since you're here "bumping" your for sale threads, how about answering the questions above.

 

[Bill & Amy]

I see we have a new "moderator" in town.

 

[Bill & Amy]

Well, Rick asked me to email him questions. So I did, here is the emails.


Here is my email.

1. Why can't you just answer on the thread?

2. If you don't have anything to do with Joe's business, how do you know Cathy has $500 credit?

3. One response you stated "MKR" and Joe / Wes as if they are still together, are they still working together?

4. Does getting Ralph a good deal on a Viper make Joe a good guy?

5. Are you "re-selling" Joe's animals?

6. Why the sudden need to "upgrade" to a moderator status?



Here is his reply.

I like to have a personal touch

2. If you don't have anything to do with Joe's business, how do you know Cathy has $500 credit?
This was in another Joe bashing thread in the fall he posted the credit to her publicly.

3. One response you stated "MKR" and Joe / Wes as if they are still together, are they still working together?
They are breaking up after this years breeding season.

4. Does getting Ralph a good deal on a Viper make Joe a good guy?
Anyone who knows the biz can same me over 5k is a good guy in my book.

5. Are you "re-selling" Joe's animals?
Some. And some to fill orders. I have had great quality of animals from MKR.

6. Why the sudden need to "upgrade" to a moderator status?
Why not? gives me better bumping advantages....200....keep my ads up top.
Never knew it gave me moderator status......got to find out in detail of what I can do.

BTW be real nice if you asked questions about my biz and not worry about Joe's biz.
Ask him.....

Thanks

[varnyard]

How nice!! Anything here we did not already know guys?

Rick, so I take it you do know about the blackmail, yet still support MKR.

Also the whole conversation on the phone with Wes was nothing but lies that he told me. There is no split, no lawsuit, Joe must still be going to Alcoholics Anonymous and is not drunk all the time, as well as the whole bunch knowing what Joe C. done to get Wendy Childs back on Reptile Auctions. Now all of you are taking orders that you do not have animals for, same as last year.

Yes, all of you are such good guys.....
