    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....

Leslie,

I'm not getting into this debate as it would be beating a dead horse, but honestly, if the best that you can come up with here is a spelling issue, it's probably best that you leave it alone. This isn't sixth grade, it's the Internet, most of us are adults, and not everyone can be as smart as you evidently believe yourself to be.

I hope so too. After all the crap he posted about Casey he then went on with his complaint about Matt. At the time there had never been a bad guy thread or post about Matt and he had hundreds of positive transactions. It was the way he made his complaints that drew fire more than the complaint itself.

I am not talking about Casey's post, but that one was crap too. if someone has a bad experience with a good ol' boy here on the BOI, it seems like they get attacked for posting their problems. when you get crap from people, you are gonna get upset.

he had a good guy thread about his animals being the best and it was bombarded by people attacking him because he said that he had a problem with matt (who we all know now is scum) and casey. sounds like a bunch of bull to me. how are you a bad guy when you love your animals and ship them in the best way possible?

i will say it again, i hope people will go and read those old posts for themselves, and maybe some people need to re-read them.

That was not my intention at all, to try and make myself look smart. I just don't think he should call people on here as community slow because he over-reacted to hearing what everyone knows is the truth. Another thing I need to point out is this is not Leslie, this is her son Kyle and people should not hold this against her if I am truly in the wrong.
 
i don't know this guy and have never done business with him so i will not try to defend him. jim o's post reminded me what i was about to do. this thread is about matt, who riped alot of people off and he pretty much sucks. sorry.

A thing that I need to point out is the rules which you have not adhered to.

If you share this account with your mother you should be signing YOUR NAME to the post's that you make.
 
NOBODY LIKES A RAT Kyle. Unless of course youre reporting yourself for a violation of the rules.

In that case Kyle, I will take it that you are a child using mom's account. I guess that I shouldn't be surprised. Unless you sign your full name on each and every BOI post they may be deleted. Perhaps you and mom should read the rules.

As far as what "everyone" knows is the truth, people did also jump all over Jim S. about a transaction with Matt. His issue with Casey was not the only issue for which he was attacked, even if my highly respected friend (and I mean that) Dennis chooses to recall it that way.

"Everyone" does not have that recollection, and as best that I can see, you and mom have been members here for about two weeks. Perhaps you should actually try to observe adults before you jump in and criticize them.

For the record, I have had good transactions with both Jim S. and Matt. They were before Matt's meltdown. I certainly wouldn't buy a dollar's worth of nickels for a quarter from Matt, but the animals that I got from Jim S. were, and still are, beautiful.

To tell the honest truth I did not even realize I was on my moms account when I originally posted, which is why I asked what I say not be held against her. As far as I'm concerned I was just in pointing out his mistakes whatever they might be, as he feels the need to call EVERYONE slow for not having the same views as him.

If you post one more time using your mom's account, I will close down that account. Create your own account here and stop using someone else's. Your mom WILL be held accountable for how her account is used and what is said using it.

Jim, I don't believe I stated that it was the only issue. It was the first issue.

Jim O best addressed this years ago.
Jim O said:
Jim,

You had a good guy thread that YOU went and polluted with insults and mudslinging. That had nothing to do with anyone "slamming" you. You managed to inflict the damage yourself. Did you happen to notice that Matt has not even had to post in this thread? Do you not see the irony in that?

This is the time to sit down and shut up. Unless you enjoy hurting yourself more.

The threads about Casey and Matt have nothing to do with his animals.
Actually, none of them have to do with Jim S's. animals. He did a lot of mudslinging, much of which is in the Hell forum and you will need to be subscribed to that forum to read it.

The points you make about being part of a good old boy system is false as well.
It is natural to give the benefit to people that you have done good business with and have had years of positive transactions. If you have a complaint about someone you need to put forth your case and communicate it well.

Instead of Jim coming on the site and stating he had a bad transaction with Matt he started off with attacking this site because he bought from Matt due to his ratings on this site.

Matt was no more than any other member here. It would be the same if you had a few people leave you positive feedback for transactions and someone would come on and blame the site because you ripped them off.

Matt turning out to be a bad guy doesn't change the fact the case Jim S. made against him was weak and the emails posted at the time show a lot of communication problems.

Jim failed miserably at this. He gets a little hot tempered and then apologized for many of things he stated about Casey then returns later to sling a lot more mud. It was uncalled for. He bought his racks from Casey and didn't post anything about them until a few years later when he started marketing his own racks. After he started putting his racks on the market he then went to Casey's good guy thread and posted about a transaction that happened years early while at the same time plugging his ad's for his racks. That's not bull. That's a bad tactic.

I have never heard of anyone complaining about his animals or product. It doesn't change the fact that what he did was in poor taste. Matter of fact, I have admired his racks but I have never seen his animals firsthand.

He has his own account. Its nimbus42007.

I guess the Canadian BOI doesn't have anything interesting going on, eh Kyle? Trolling for a little excitement?
