    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: Wes Pollock of Los Angeles, CA

WES, This post was about

your livestock not about building relationships. I guess this was not the format for Neil to attempt to extend a hand for some kind of reconciliation, but as a business man, I find it remarkable that a person like yourself , cannot find any restraint about another person , even in a simple business inquiry.

Would it not have been easier and certainly more benefitial in your favor to have thanked Neil for his comments , kept your mouth shut, and allowed the rest of the community to consider you a safe business to venture into. Instead, as you always seem to manage, you get baited into putting your anger in full force and allowing a simple inquiry to turn into a malestrom.
 
Jerry, I COULD have let gubitz lie again. What makes you think he's sincere this time? What makes THIS time different than EVERY other time he's less than honest?

I know you say you aren't pals with gubitz but you sure seem to stick your nose into it every time he and I have a disagreement.

I will NOT lie to the Fauna Readers at Large. gubitz has before and doubtless will again.

Is there some reason I should be LESS than honest in my responce to him? NO. I told him EXACTLY how I felt. Just like I have with you and everyone else I've dealt with for that matter.

Do you suppose there is some reason he chose this thread to "make his overture" instead of diong it privately? Do you REALLY think that he thought I'd go for it?

It's a SHAM jerry, a sham, a shame as well, and I'm NOT playing this game with gubitz. Anger has nothing to do with how I responded or how I feel about gubitz. I certainly wish he was out of this business but if you notice, which apparently YOU didn't, I was cordial at first and sincerely thanked him for telling the truth (for once) about my stock. It was he that started the sniping.

YOU trust him jerry, YOU be his pal. I'll just say no.

On that note jerry, and anyone else that wants to comment on the Wes/gubitz thing, THIS is not the place for that. There are threads, there is a Forum available. Please utilize them.
 
I guess you will continue to allow

your emotions to out do your reason. It does not matter what Neil may have said, you came out swinging, when in fact this thread had nothing to do with Neil . Someone was making an inquiry about your herps. If you still harbor or have some deep rooted feelings torward Neil, it does not belong in this thread. You took 20 positive feedbacks and now have ended up back on the soap box arena. Your thoughts about a particular person , should be kept silent. No one is asking for your opinion about Neil, but rather about your business and you. Its amazing to see how easy it is to ignite a flame without thinking about the consequences.

Also, If I have told you once or a thousand times, I have only met Neil on two occassions and they were at shows where he was a vendor. I dont discuss BOI difficulties via email, just business. We are nothing more than business aquaintances. Any thoughts that I may have about you or anyone else is KEPT PRIVATE to myself. Thats the way you should be.

knobby, are YOU my dad? Who, exactly, are YOU to TELL me what to do?

YOU have not brought this up, in THIS thread, again, after I DISTINCTLY ASKED YOU NOT TO.

It's not an emotional reaction to neil "the liar" gubitz. I truly despise the guy. I have ZERO respect for him, DO NOT trust him at all, and I think it was a ploy.

How come you, knobby, know what I think and how I feel and what I do BETTER than I do myself?

I'm not angry now, I wasn't angry then. If you don't like what I write, BLOCK my name.

Now, once again, if you wish to discuss gubitz and his relationship with me, DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
 
You win Wes,

when someone has as much hatred for a person as you do torward Neil, their is no sense in persuing this conversation. What I find most unusual above everything else is that your total dislike is not based on first hand knowledge but rather on what other people may have encountered while dealing with Neil. After all, I am not wrong in stating that : you have never met Neil, never done any business with Neil, nor , unless I am mistaken never spoken to Neil. So your attacks are based on your opinions , not first hand dealings, nor facts that would lead you to an honest conclusion from dealing directly with him.

Have a nice day!

I recently placed an ad here for Kingsnakes, I am new to this site and found this feature quite useful.
I received a response via PM and e-mail from this person, but he never returned with photographs of what he was offering.
I believe he resides in Los Angeles, only a few miles from the city of Alhambra where I am located. I would like to get in touch with Mr. Pollock so I may purchase his stock, and would like to find out about prior business transactions from other customers. Thank you for your time.



Hi,

Even though I have not purchased from Wes I have know of him through Fauna and interacted with him on several occasions. I would buy from Wes if the opportunity prevents it's self with confidence. Wes has been instrumental at going after the bad guys period. He has not swayed one bit on certain companies. I appreciate everyone's in put including Wes when I had a certain company, which shall remain name less that blatantly ripped me off. After several grueling months presented on the B. O. I. my bank finally got the matter resolved. Thanks again Wes!


Best Wishes,

Thanks Tony.

I haven't seen any of that companies founders doing any business of late, have you?

Of course it is possible that others who are also located in Florida, but who shall also remain nameless, are fronting for this nameless company. In fact, if I recall correctly, it was standard operating proceedure not too very long ago.

And you're right, I'm not generally inclined to sway when dealing with certain types. A true change in character is so rare that I don't think I've seen one yet, at least not here on Fauna. Vince is in the maybe catagory and he may just make it yet, but he's still got a long way to go as well.

Anyway, thanks again, I sincerely appreciate your words as well as those of everyone else who has supported myself and my animals.

mikey, did you not get the memo?

This is NOT a contest. I think it's GREAT you can lift more heavy things than I can. Good for you man, we've all got to be good at something and it's nice that you found the only thing you're good at so early in life. I'd recommend you stick to it as your posts are naught but sad.

You keep striking out and trying to start a spat but no one will play with you.

Don't worry mikey, you'll have friends one day. Probably not around here, but you will, just as long as you're buying. (that was a reference to my past advice to you to start hanging out in a bar, where you will have friends. In case you didn't, oh what am I saying, Because I KNOW you didn't get it)
 
Sigh.....

Wes and Neil, did you both forget what I posted back on 03/22/04?
I have to side with the majority here. This is getting just as old as the Dave Lawson vs Neil Gubitz battles not too long ago. And just as I did back then, I am going to create a new thread called "The Wes Pollock vs Neil Gubitz Feud Arena". Unless either of you two do NEW business with each other and have comments about that particular transaction, ALL of your further comments about each other will be limited to being within that one thread. Within that one thread you can call each other names until you are blue in the face, because, that is now your one and only playground here. And I, for one, do NOT intend to read anything posted within it.

If either one of you makes a comment about the other in any other thread, including inferences, veiled references, or innuendos that are plain to ME as being in violation of this *request*, or if either one of you emails me about the other, the one making a violation of this *request* will be suspended and fined.

If you both want to get into your own private pissing duel, then I suggest you do it via email and DO NOT USE MY SITE FOR THIS PURPOSE ANY LONGER!! Is that clear? If it is NOT clear, read this post again until it does become clear, because I am DONE hearing you two going at each other every slight chance that pops up here.

I do hope I am perfectly clear about this.

Well, AHEM..... :2hammers:

Well in this thread right here, we have the following:

On 01-08-2005, 09:58 PM Neil posted:
Wes.... I understand.... it takes an adult to forgive and forget....

The "adult" comment was clearly designed to belittle and antagonize. I doubt anyone would interpret that otherwise.

And, of course, a followup shot by Wes on 01-08-2005, 10:07 PM:
And it takes a lying pompous boil on the butt of life like you to make me feel the way I do about you.

Guys, do you think I was joking? Do you think I forgot? Do you think I can ignore this? Do you think you both are going to get fined and suspended AGAIN?

Only one of the above questions has a YES answer to it.....
 
Had you acted on the comment you point out earlier there would have been no follow up from me. But that's niether here nor there. I did not forget. I did not think you had.

Acting on that earlier comment would have ONLY gotten Neil suspended, Wes. It would not have removed that comment, and certainly no one was twisting your arm to reply. When are you going to learn? YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THE BAIT!
 
I'm not disagreeing with you. I made an assumption and I was wrong. I assumed that since it was not heated and I kept asking to move ANY comments about gubitz and myself to hell that things were ok. I know better and yet ......
 
Nope,did not get no memo from you,but again ,I do not live on this forum like you.Trust me,I would NOT want to be friends with you regulars here.In order to have you as my friend,I would have to take out my back bone and bow to and agree to you and your NOBODY friends,and THAT is not happening.I have PLENTY of FRIENDS in the herp buisness,and I must say alot of them are well known good people that I talk to almost daily,and that is a fact.Some ask me why in the hell would I waist my time coming to this forum.I tell them that there are some over inflated heads(that have NO reason to have)that need to be "popped".I usually get a good laugh out of them!!!

I do not buy or sell on this site,I go where the big boys are(KINGSNAKE.COM) to do my buisness.Hell,I do not see Sharp,Ronne,Parks,Kahl,and so on selling on here or even waisting there time coming here.

Hang out at a bar?,nah,It probably a place you should go Wes,I think you need to get alittle,you seem soooo uptight.

Oh,another thing I figured out.See the little colored boxes to the left under your names?Well,eack green block represents how far up the "systems"butt you are.I am proud mine stays red. I see Wes is shoved up there preety damn good.That is a PERFECT place for him.Thanks and have a great day,I know I will!!!!

actaully mike the "green bar" is the rep meter. yours is red, cause nobody likes you OR you dont deserve REP points......
 
He plays with the "big boys" on kingsnake??? ROFLMAO...you have to be kidding...that was priceless...

PF, start your own thread all about you if you want to discuss your merits (I am sure they are every bit as stellar as I think they are )...or comment about Wes's animals/business. That is the topic of this thread...after all...
