    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....

Seeing this thread is still going and it probably needs some re fueling.
I will post for all of you that got fooled.
Matt and I know Matt lied his Butt off to save his rep here. To bad you folks fell for it. At least there is one person that knows the truth, well make that two,, MATT

This is why the BOI did not work, you folks never found out the true liar.
 
The difference is, your reputation speaks for itself. Given how you have behaved here in the past, and ESPECIALLY in this thread who would ever believe you even IF you were actually telling the truth?

That's what I thought..........

Matts past customers speak fondly of him, he conducts himself like a professional, and he went out of his way to remedy a situation with a known scumbag. His actions speak volumes of his integrity. You? You do not even know the definition. You would know nothing about such things. Do yourself a favor, take a few notes. Your behavior is childlike and frankly, you're annoying. (I'm being VERY nice here)

Good Luck.
 
Woo big man, calling me a scumbag, you do not even know me so how dare you.
And is this board not what it is intended for( bad guys and good guys and bad and good deals, well mine was a bad deal just like all the other posts I have made, you were not in this deal, You do not have a clue. At least I know when I was wronged, you cannot even look out side the box.
 
And Every post in here was when I was wronged, so I let it be known, so that makes me a bad guy, so my words speak loud, maybe it is just how you are taking it.
And you say Matt conducts himself as a professional, so to be a professional you need to be able to spell and be able to lie and be convinceing, this this what I need to learn ?

Well Jim I do beleive you have that pretty much down to an art my good man. Also the items I offered you for free on on the fauna fund now. IF you would like to support Fauna maybe you could bid on it....
 
Let's take one more swing at this

Jim

You are missing the point here. It is obvious that there was a miscommunication here. I don't think either of you was really to blame but if there is blame, it should definitely be shared. The reason you are coming off looking so bad here is due to the way you responded to the situation. Nasty phone messages, nasty Emails, calling and ragging on his Mom....neither professional or mature. After all that, a very generous offer was made to you in an attempt to rectify the situation. If you had stepped up, agreed to disagree on the past situation, and accepted the offer civilly like an adult, this thread would be about 10 pages shorter.

Instead you decided to act like a petulant 5 year old. While your past rep does enter into any situation of this sort, I am really looking at this as a stand alone situation. You have behaved immaturely and, frankly, like an ass. My main issue is that you seem unable to recognize your behaviour as unacceptable. That is the truly sad aspect of this situation and the one thing that assures that you will repeat this sort of thing in the future.
 
No, you need to learn when you're not wanted.....

Go somewhere. Anywhere but here. :)

John, I am not here to fight with you, I posted my experience and it was BAD. you say something like mis comunication,, what mis comunication, Matt said he was shipping Monday, come Friday he still did not ship,
You are for getting you are believing Matts story, No mis communicating on my end, in fact no communication at all, Then you say this crap about phone calls, well I left one message for Matt and it was A tad rude Can you get it, A tad rude, then you say something about being rude to his Mom, I guess you got that from the big fat liar matt again,

O and by the way, seeing you know the rules so well how about giving your self some points for Name calling, tis that not one of the rules around here ?
 
So I am not wanted, so as long as I suck up to liars and people like you then I will be one of the cool guys, No thanks, would not want to be like you.
I paid to be here, and if I am wronged I will let it be known. like it, or post on someone else's posts.
 
You're still missing the point. Matt has an excellent track record, you do not. If someone is lying 99.9 of ANY population is going to poitn the finger at you.


Why?


Becuase of YOUr actions. YOUR words. YOUR reputation.



Who's fault is that?


YOURS



Do something about it or shut up.........


The fact remains Matt STILL tried to remedy the situation and you were a child about this entire situation. Did you see him leaving rude messages or threatening emails? No. YOU DID


Apparently you are lacking the intelligence needed to understand this. I do feel sorry for you, good luck. Apparently you ened all that you can get with that attitude....
 
Jim in all seriousness and everything else aside. I dont think you understand how you are affecting your business. I dont want to see anyones business hurt of lessened no matter what has happened in the past. I have let it go and I was the one that was wronged now lets just buck up and move on.. I have received 15+ emails from people telling me how glad they are they read this thread because they were thinking of ordering from you and now have moved on to other companies for their needs. I mean I am not mad as that is not really in my nature for something like this to t- me off enough to not move on...

From everything YOU have said Jim, you were not wronged. Matt made a mistake. Instead of keeping your cool and working things out with Matt (or even trying to) you were rude. At that point Matt chose to refund your money which he has every right to do.

So far, nothing else you have said, or will say has or can change those facts.

You simply have continued to be rude, immature and unprofessional in your posts here which only lend more credibility to what Matt says.

So, what everyone here is telling you is:

YOU WERE NOT WRONGED

Matt choosing to refund your money instead of completing the order was brought on by YOUR BEHAVIOR
 
Ok, I read through this whole post,When this post started I was Thinking about doing business with Matt, And the more I read, the more I made up my mind Matt if you get anymore boas let me know I would be the first in line ...I like your style Dude ....Calm ... Cool ......Collected very professional ....I dont see how Jim can say that you lied, Jim your imagination must be a wonderful thing for you, I would suggest you if you have such a great outside world business you stick to it there, your contant whining is getting old, and its people like you who cant really make a good name for yourself who drag down the good ones. and your right you did pay to be here, But you know what I'll pay you your $10 back just to go away :hot:

It wasnt enough that you made Matts mother upset and blew this whole non-sale issue way out of proportion. Now you want to rehash this and keep it going? For christs sake man the guy refunded your money promptly, get a hold of yourself and snap out of the psychosis.

Even if this was Matts fault entirely, how would you imagine your lone bad experience would damage his reputation? Anyone looking at his reputation as it stands would see your comments as an aberration.

Make that three Jim. God also knows who lied. Ultimately thats all that matters.

I will happily buy your remaining membership time if you no longer wish to be a member here. Youre an angry man Jim and you havent been a productive member on this site since youve started.

You're the type of person that was discussed frequently when the board was making its transition to a paysite. I believe it was said that "some real bad guys were going to fly in under the radar". Presto, here you are.

I truly believe that if Matt said he was going to ship Monday and that was not going to happen, he should have contacted you to let you know. See? Not everyone thinks you are 100% in the wrong here. The true measure is how problems are rectified. Matt attempts to fix things by acting like a professional. You act like a two year old....see the difference

As to name calling, an honest observation is not name calling...it is simply a statement of fact
 
If I were to call you a sniveling whiny self involved and petulant child with paranoid tendancies, that would be name calling.....see the difference?

Of course, I would never do that...it would be immature and uncalled for.
