    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

John,

If you were professional you would not only know how to use punctuation, capitalization and be able to spell "business" properly you would also take the time to do so. All that notwithstanding, you wouldn't have to toot your own horn about how good you were. Your reputation would speak for it's self versus what you are doing which is trying to convince others and yourself about how professional you were.

But in reality, you are a hot head who will justify and excuse your actions for going off on a tangent like a child having a temper tantrum if "given the reason" to do so. Sorry sport, that is not being professional by any stretch of the means. :NoNo:
 
Dave... you forgot something. Be sure to spell the persons name you are refering to correctly.

BTW... .he's not refering to me :thumbsup:
 
thanks DAND i wish so much that i could be like you one day day!!!!!!!!

Sounds like something one of my teenage cousins would say breaking up with their boyfriends in a text message.

Certainly not a professional response at all. John, as one who has kept a relatively open mind throughout this entire discussion, you are not increasing my faith in you. It's a sign that if or when things finally do go wrong with shipping, an animal getting sick, or a bad transaction, that you will not have the humility and integrity to do right by the customer. I know I personally will not be purchasing anything from you in the near future unless you grow up a little. We are all adults here, yes?
 
John Perkins (geckoman2) is dishonest and has left me negative trader rating when we have never done business. He has also do this to a number of other people since just becoming a contributing member. It is my belief he did so (became a contributing member) solely to leave myself and others negative trader rating. This is not someone who I would do business with nor is he someone I would suggest others to do business with. To attempt to leave myself and others negative trader rating when we have not done business is dishonest. Dishonesty like this is the way this person obviously does things. It is against the rules here to leave trader rating when you have not done business with the person and doing so for what I believe was a vindictive way of trying to strike at myself and others for showing him as the short fused dishonest person he is.

What he doesn't realize is that they will be deleted and he has simply made himself look even more childish, petty and unethical than he already had.


Excellent business decision there John. You should go far in this industry :shootfoot:shootfoot:shootfoot

Sooooo he hit 6 of us today after getting his coins for no reason..??? This is some crap Deb is not going to be happy!!! :NoNo:
 
:willy_nil oh no! I'm sorry! :rolleyes:please, if he wants to be that childish, he won't last much longer. Hell, he won't last long with what he's doing now, ill gladly be another nail in his coffin :dgrin:
 
Wow, I step away from this thread a bit and it escalates to him leaving feedback for transactions hes never had with anyone? Mr Perkins, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you were just hot tempered and didnt know how to react to life outside of bars. You totally have shown us that the emails you sent early on is what you truly are, and not the facade of who you might be with quality animals.

You MAY have some nice animals but, a lot of us will NEVER know as we wouldnt do business with you if you were the ONLY one that had it. I hope you never have any sort of issues beyond your control in a transaction for your customers sake as your attitude will surely shine through.

Step back and realize that all you are doing is killing any validity of people posting positive feedback for you by pulling some of the stunts that you are. You are not the only hot tempered person here but, the difference is how the others (myself included) conduct ourselves business-wise. Just remember that everything you type, post, comment on, reply to is easy to read and WILL affect your bottom line.
 
Is his ban permanent, or just a short vacation? Hoping we won't see likes of Mr. Perkins again.
I would not recommend buying from him. Besides his attitude under criticism, he is a flipper. Took in rescues and sold them per an ad for a few corns in March I saw (and commented on in this thread, subsequently was edited, then later deleted) and obviously has no quarantine procedures with the probably dozen+ species he keeps. They constantly came in and left with all the trades he did.

Vindictive is the word I'd apply to him now. He Definitely knew after the 1st rating he left getting his coins that it was a neg trader rating, not karma and straight lied about making a mistake. Karma is given by way of a person's post in a thread, clicking on the scales icon in bottom left corner. The small window pops up Leave Karma. John went to these ppl's profiles, clicked on the Trader Rating # and left the bogus trader ratings purposefully to lash out at those having an issue with his attitude.

Good riddance Perkins
