    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....

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.

The joke is on You.......The LA belongs to Joe and the breeding agreement was between Joe and Tracy. My point is not trying to pull them down. They were working with Joe. This summer the male LA will be out of OK......believe me. Joe bought the LA from RDR not WES. He spent the big bucks not Wes.

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:

And Wes was wrong to put his name on it..... Should have said MKR.
Wes was the breeder.
 
Here ya go Mr. Denmon I will respond, you keep on bringing up VPI over and over trying to gain some respect and alien your self with the Barkers. you were a customer of theirs and they took your money for snakes sold! Please correct me if Im mistaken about this. :)

Your business associate Joe C. has graced us on numerious occasions and you were 1 of the few that stood up for that Slime ball. :thumbsup:
BallBoutique said:
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:

Has anyone notified Tracy to let her know that Rick is trying to use her and her business to promote and justify his illicit actions and is calling for a BOI thread against her?

Dear Mr. Prevent-o- mite
I am not trying to gain respect.
Joe and I do not need to send out medications for our animals nor charge $400.00 for a normal ball.

Please contact them.....what I say is true.
She was working with Joe and I am not justifying my association with Joe nor theirs.
Fact and you can call them Wes, or Joe.
Like I said my "illicit" actions are the same as theirs if you wish to say it in that way. :shrug01: :shrug01: :shrug01: :shrug01:
 
So you just implicated VPI by accusations of some sort of wrong doing....Please explain the illicit actions that you are accusing VPI of, this is wrong Rick, real wrong!

Are you realy that slow Mr. Prevent-o- mite?
See post below yours.
 
No not slow at all and I will own up to a mistake and will do whatever it takes to make it right!

YOUR problem is Joe Capone, when will you make that right?

Dont have any problems spelling REALLY either, Mr. Educator! :thumbsup:

Once again, and really slow for your D...err Rick!

You are supporting a bad guy! If you are brokering for Joe, which means you are buying from him and reselling his animals, you are financially supporting a guy who has admitted to trying to bring down good breeders, the Ball market, the hobby...Did you actually read some of the threads where he posted? .....And if you did, and you are still doing business with him, that makes you a bad guy too, at least in my book! If all you are doing is taking his animals, or posting ads for his animals, that is just as bad.

As far as emails, you emailed me first when Tosha and others were ripping your on KS, trying to 'splain yourself and your position. YOU emailed me first! That was only a few weeks ago, maybe more. I then wrote you an email that tried to 'splain the position you have put yourself in by associating with Joe. Once again, did you read what he has written???

You remind me of a three year old, when you try to bring others down with you, and bring in VPI. What VPI does and what you do are two different things. YES, there is a double standard, but a breeding loan on a rare snake and brokering are different things.

interesting statement........ yet they all made money on the project.
Great Spin best yet.......
 
I believe Rick is saying that if you want to place guilt based on association that others have dealt with Joe. In this case he is bringing up VPI since its at the top in some circles. Is there a particular date for when Joe became bad and those dealing with him have that stigma added to themselves as well?

If others along with Rick where dealing with Joe after this date, then shouldn't they have the a similar focus put on them?

Seems like he wants to know where are the others, that are doing similar things to what he has done or is doing in regards to Joe Capone.
 
No doubt there are a lot of other people that are selling off MKR animals - they are not the ones the thread is about - just because so and so is doing it that doesn't make it right - that excuse doesn't float very well with anyone with an IQ of more that 100. If that is the only issue then by all means grab the proof and start a BOI thread on "Everyone Dealing with MKR".

Since this thread is about Rick lets recap:

Rick lied and lied and lied and lied again
Rick throws people under the bus to suit his needs
Rick name drops
Rick is a cyber stalker
Rick champions scumbags
Rick cannot be trusted

Did I leave anything out?
 
I inquired about the male albino Rick posted before reading this entire 11-page mess of drama. I sent a nice e-mail saying it was a good-looking animal and I wondered if I could see any recent pictures of it to see how it's matured (since the posted pic is obviously a young baby pic). I got a one-sentence response saying he would not take new pictures of the animal, it hasn't changed. Is it that hard to take 2-3 new pictures for a prospective buyer, especially for a snake that is now a year old? :shrug01:

I won't be doing business with him, but I found his response to be almost rude.
 
There has been some terminology used that I dont understand, you know me... just a simple man. JAS, whats a PED? :shrug01:

Rick, whats a Mauled Monkey? :shrug01: please explain this to your simple friend. :D

Apparently, they are smart enough to keep their association with Joey under wraps. I would not feel any differently about anyone else brokering his animals.
