    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....

How does it have anything to do with Ralph? I have started a thread here on someone I never intended to buy from, Just to show people what was going on. Fatass, Can do the same correct? Jim, This post is about Rick! If you want to start one on Ralph Have at it! Good Luck!

If he's an employee of Ralph's then it reflects on him, plain and simple. This thread was not created in a vacuum. This is someone in the same industry as his employer. I know you aren't well educated by your own admission so I'll do the math for you. 2 + 2 = 4.

As for Ralph overall, I have no real big issues, in fact no issues other than this. I have done business with him (years ago, before I sold my BP's) and the experiences were stellar. That however, does not wash this dirt off of his hands if it's there. If he comes here and says that he knew nothing of this thread and had no prior conversations with FATASS, his longtime friend and employee, about Rick and this thread I will believe him. Short of that, I have drawn my own conclusions.

UMMMM Correction

John joined March 2004 278 posts
I joined December 2003 81 posts

Who's on first? :shrug01:

Now Fatass Joined August 2003 3 posts umm all here? :shootfoot
And Mojo Joined November 2003 5 posts how many here? :)

Does this help with some facts? :thumbsup:

The false statements are calling Joe and myself a scumbag.
Should I call you the same? Joe gave you a $500.00 because he never called you back! How many breeders would do that NO ONE! Yet you call him a scumbag! Sad.....real sad!

On a side note is that a dog in your picture? Or a fancy rodent? Sorry I never saw a dog like that if it is.

Ummmm...correction? I said nothing about the others (since I clearly stated I don't know them), I only said JOHN has been a posting member longer. Perhaps "posting" isn't clear...I mean as in an active, making posts kind of member. Pretty much the only posts you have made since 2004 were in the Mike Plank thread, again defending your buddy Joey.....and here.

Joe IS a scumbag. He said flat out that he was out to do damage to other breeders and put others out of business....and presells animals he doesn't even have, nor did he produce. He doesn't think of the animals as anything but dollar signs, not the living, breathing creatures they are. Sure, he offered a $500.00 credit (which you noticed, obviously, that I have not used)....but it just doesn't seem to sink in that money isn't all important to everyone, and not everyone can be bought.

I didn't call you scum....I just said that when you surround yourself with scum, it starts to rub off eventually. But if the shoe fits.... :shrug01:

Call me whatever you want, but have something to back it up. :D
 
OK

In the reptile business and particularly the Ball hobby, there are many, many people to buy from. Why buy from someone who admittedly wanted to bring the market down, bring other breeders down, and then boasted about being able to do the same thing to the Gecko market. Bottom line, there are WAY too many good guys in the hobby to support the bad guys, in any way, shape, or form. Brokering for them is Supporting them!

Thanks for not sending any more emails///////

Most folks that breed many animals back door them at cheaper prices.
You name your animals what you wish and I will puchase from whom I wish!
If ya think that way then don't by from me or Joe. No one tells me what to do. It is that simple. Preriod! I don't tell others what to do. OK?

Many people received great deals from Joe and myself. and will continue to do so this year too. Quality animals with great customer service.
Ask Dave and Tracy how their breeding loans went and the quality of the animals she received from Joe. I feel good when VPI does business and breeding loans with Joe. VPI is one of the best in the biz......Perhaps you will not buy from them too. :shrug01:


Thanks,

Rick

I think the point they are trying to make Rick. Is that just because someone signed up after you, doesn't mean they "followed" you here. In the same point, just because someone signed up before you, doesn't mean you "followed" them.

I feel like I'm talking to a little kid that just keeps asking "Why?" :rofl:

Some breeders may, but its unfair to say that most breeders do. You're just trying to justify your position for doing it by making the sum of the folks who also do this larger then what it actually may be.

So do I.

What I want to know is why no BOI for VPI.......nutting about Joe!
You would think that if you all have a problem with me you would all have the same with VPI. Must be a double standard.

With that said I believe no one will respond. All duck the issue evertime I bring up their name! :shrug01:

You can tell RDR is slow. Keep it on topic....not personal.
Like your phone call......talk about lying!

First of all you have shown us a picture of a breeding loan, that said "Wes Harris Reptiles" on it. So they would've done that with Wes not Joe. Joe is the scumbag you're doing business with, not VPI. So quit trying to pull them down.

That picture doesn't even show a breeding loan. It shows a post by Wes in the "bragging post" section of the VPI site where anyone can post.

The only point I was making was he said it was a breeding loan with Joe and showed that picture. The picture clearly states "Wes Harris Reptiles." He wants everyone to bash VPI for dealing with Joe, :shrug01:
