    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....

Jim Scharphorn (cool critters by lj )

Holy Good Lord...

I just looked at some of the post created by Mickey_TLK and I nearly crapped my pants. Jim and Mickey are an item correct? Lovers, husband and wife, brother and sister? It has to be. It simply does. They are cast from the same mold.

How did those transactions go Mickey? Something like this?
-------------------
ring ring ring....

Mickey: Hello, who the f**k is this?

Jim: Its Scharphorn and I need some f**king supplies immediately.

Mickey: Sure thing f**k face I'll have them out in the morning. And f**k you if the box is short.

Jim: Thanks a f**king lot! I aprreciate doing business with you f**ker!

click....click
---------------------

I cant imagine it any other way. Sorry to say it Mickey but your history prevents me from believing Jim is a decent person to work with in a transaction.

I now understand why no feedback was left. It would be like Charles Manson vouching for Jeffrey Dahmer.

I imagine in our case Jim didnt post anything in regards to the sales, as they were just small deals. Nothing fancy, nothing spectacular was done. Just your average deal that went fine.

I only posted to show that in regards to my dealings with Jim, he was nothing but your typical customer. Im not trying to stir the pot, was just posting my experience. But then again this is coming from a guy with 70 warning points, so we should all take my position with a grain of salt.
 
The man is higher than...

At what time do you start drinking Jim?

Fine, when I get time I will post some good guy posts,

Youve had mucho time to post something positive. Instead you focused on bringing Matt down and behaing like an ass. Pure and simple.

jim scharphorn said:
But I choose not to post because I figured as ruthless as you guys are you would only try and ruin it for me by telling these fine salesman to not sell to me,
CAN you blame me ?

I can blame you for lots of things Jim. If I fixated your mind as my object of destruction you'd be bouncing off padded walls in less than a week.

You mistake ruthlessness for intelligence in the face of blatant stupidity.

Begone Jim.
 
NO worry Mickey, These very few people have nothing better to do and we have nothing to prove to the low lifes.
By the way, Matt did me a favor, I got my flexwatt from someone else the following week and even saved $35 doing it. LOL LOL LOL You guys loose, go spend your money were it counts and on someone that will not lie about tyour deal and someone that will ship what you order, not half of it. LOL LOL

Jim does have a point here, doesn't he?

In fairness to Jim (again), and Jim don't make me eat my words (again), he did offer to leave me some "nice" words here but reminded me that they may do me more harm than good.

Here he is criticized for not leaving good words, and two posts later, the guy who did leave good words is attacked as not credible because he is just like Jim! So my question to you, Chuck, is this: is there any way Jim could have acted that would have been "OK"? Or would you have attacked his kind words about someone the same way you attacked Mickey's? Since you already criticized Jim for not posting kind words about people he deals with it is a fair question.

If I were in Jim's shoes (and I am glad that I am not) I would feel "damned if I did and damned if I didn't". He did the right thing by me by asking first. I suspect that he would have caught heat either way.

Un like you, I do not drink, and I do not live on the BOI like you do.
I have a life.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA


My god, I think I just wet myself...........
 
Chuck

Your going off mark with that, but enjoy yourself. At some point I will learn not to let myself be baited into stupid comments.

Im not going to sit here and try and make people believe Im something Im not. Im a breeder / broker of high quality reptiles. I also have a temper. I am not a churcly kinda guy, and I come from a pretty rough background.

All that aside your going to be pretty hard pressed to find someone that will talk bad about the quality of my animals, delivery issues, ect. If you would like to find out more on me, start a thread or dig into all the info you find.

Hello Kettle, this is Pot, You are black.

If those who call you out are low lifes, than what does that make you Jim? I'd say you would fall a notch or two lower than worm crap.

jim scharphorn said:
You guys loose,

Were you attempting to say we lose?
 
jim scharphorn said:
NO worry Mickey,

If you can survive on Jims order of (2) 4ft strips of 3" flexwatt once a month by all means dont worry. Thats about the volume he'll need with the cages he'll be selling.

jim scharphorn said:

Thats why your apology was never accepted. Your not a sincere person and I know youre true colors. Youre a tree puncher and a bed wetter.


jim scharphorn said:

Mickey said it was a small deal and not worthy of positive feedback. Yet you had the time to post something negative for the same order with Matt.

jim scharphorn said:
You guys loose,

And we dont even get a parting gift.....but I'll consider mine my sanity.

jim scharphorn said:
go spend your money were it counts

At Mamma Chings Massage Parlor on Victory and Slawson? You know the place too?

jim scharphorn said:
and on someone

Jim, they dont allow that sort of stuff at Mamma Chings. Its a respectable place.
 
While trying to avoid the baiting, I feel I have to address this.

So Dand Im a LOW LIFE? You and critical Bill have determined from a quick search on this forum that Im a low life.

Well I would have to bet to differ. How many people on this forum have 70 warning points, but also have rep power of 43 on the good side.

The funny thing is all my negative points spawned from one thread that I let myself go to far in. I and many people who know the full story, still to this day feel I did nothing wrong. If I am Jeffery Dahmner or Charles Manson for useing curse words, then so be it. I think your perception is a bit off but thats your opinion.

As I said I stated my experience with Jim, it is what it is. Ask any of the HUNDREDS of people I have done business with in the past, and you will be hard pressed to find someone bad mouthing my business.

Also I did not sell Jim the flexwatt, and that is NOT what my business survives on. I have a very nice retail store front, and do a good amount of sales in high end boas, not to mention the wholesaleing I do to many other shops. But I dont need to validate my business to you do I?
 
Jim O said:
So my question to you, Chuck, is this: is there any way Jim could have acted that would have been "OK"?

I have many answers to this question Jim. I can only state the simplest though. He's smart enough to know he doesnt defend himself well and has openly admitted he's a poor communicator. My answer is he should have remained silent through much of both threads.

Jim O said:
Or would you have attacked his kind words about someone the same way you attacked Mickey's?

I would probably ignore it but acknowledge it the way a correction officer would seeing two inmates embracing behind bars. Ya know... with a nod and a shrug.

Jim O said:
Since you already criticized Jim for not posting kind words about people he deals with it is a fair question.

It is a very fair question. I think it could be answered by saying I was very happy to see this thread started. It was a start in the right direction for Jim and thats always a positive thing.

I havent determined you to be a low life. Ive determined I wouldnt consider your post with much weight to the validity that Jim is a decent person to deal with. Thats it. It was the quality of your posts and not your warning points that I used for my determination. As it should be.

Mickey_TLK said:

I'm an idiot and I'm up to 19. Again its about the quality not the quantity.

Jim come in Jim. Are you reading this? Good advice you need to apply Jim.

I dont perceive you to be a mass murderer. I just applied the notion of one to the other.

I wouldnt go as far as to question hundreds of your customers. I could go by the 4 positive feedbacks you have here on fauna.

Mickey_TLK said:
Also I did not sell Jim the flexwatt, and that is NOT what my business survives on.

He just tooted that he bought from you what he didnt get through Matt. I thought his order was flexwatt.

No need to vaildate anything to me. With this site, the way its designed and with its features, all one has to do is look at the numbers and do a little bit of reading.
 
Good Lord where did all this come from??? Sheesh Dont fight any longer guys its just not worth the effort.. I havent done any business with Mickey but have talked to him in the chat rooms and seems like a good feller.. Actually am goign to call you about some things here in about 5 min.. Jim O stop defending a parasite.. (Yes Jim I am calling you a parasite AGAIN!!!) Your were an awsome customer JIM O and would like to have your business in the future... I am glad you found the flexwatt cheaper than you "tried" to get it from me for.. Bravo!! But see I cannot imagine that being true(imagine that huh) since flexwatt has a low profit margin...
<b>Your just scum Jim plain and simple you dont seserve the customers you do have..</b> And as for someone that deserves it come on now..lol.. You dont, casey gets a ton more business than you ever will and this is because he is a true business man and makes an excellent product.. Casey also buys his flexwatt from me..hhhmmm see him posting here about me shorting him.. UM thats a big ol bag of no...

Mickey_TLK said:

It is possible. Remember you can be anything you put your mind to. But where did I say Micky anywhere in my response? I was responding to what Jim posted and referring to Jim. (see below, I bolded Jim's name since you obviosly missed the first time)

You "KNOW" what I have determined by my one post quoted above? To tell you the truth I haven't bothered to look into you at all. So I think you should slow down a little and read the posts before jumping to conclusions. It seems that your fuse is short like Jim's.
 
A couple of points need to be made here.

(1) This thread is not about Mickey Hinkle, so please don't drag it off topic. If you want to discuss Mickey and have Mickey involve himself in such a discussion, please take it to a thread about Mickey Hinkle.

(2) No one is REQUIRED to post good guy posts about anyone. As a matter of fact, I have stated in the past that I would prefer that only EXCEPTIONAL cases be posted here. Someone getting an order and sending the merchandise in a timely fashion should be normal SOP. That is what we EXPECT in a business transaction. It is the instances of something above and beyond the normal that should be brought here, just as a bad guy falling down on the deal should be considered the exception and have those details brought to light. You don't get a thank you ticket for stopping at a stop sign each time. But if you stopped and then got out of your car to help a blind person across the intersection, then that certainly might provoke someone to make favorable comments about you. And just as getting a ticket for NOT stopping at the stop sign should be noted on the opposite end of the scale.

Jim S. did nothing wrong by NOT posting a good guy post here, and actually he handled that situation exactly as it should have been handled.
