    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....

Bad Guy Michael R Trombley aka ragelesspanda BEWARE

Elexis, you are establishing an interesting pattern regarding circumstances in which you come to the defense of particular parties. I am not saying you are wrong to offer up your good experiences. I like to be able to get as much information as possible and I believe few people are only "one thing" in terms of personality. However, three data points now constitute a trend and some people will consider that history when determining the weight they should assign to your input.

For some, it can also have the opposite effect. Your positive endorsement may lead some to be given pause when considering whether or not they find it prudent to proceed with a particular seller.
 
Particular parties? And who might that be? People I've done business with? I saw both side of this and don't believe her so that make my opinion garbage? I think not.
 
He wasn't able to come here and defend himself. So I posted some photos and suck for him. If that's wrong then oh well. He didn't even ask me to I felt it was ignorant to post knowing he could NOT put his side of the story. I also showed where his post was so she could have her input. Yea that makes me a bad person for helping someone who couldn't come here and defend theirselves.

PayPal doesn't cover live animals which is why they did nothing but side with her.

So let me get this straight...You're siding with the buyer, and agreeing that he should be paid BEFORE shipping the animal back, and you're upset that paypal sided with the seller because she won the claim?

Hmmm, I wonder how many people in the hobby that frequent this board, are going to be willing to deal with you after reading all of your posts. Seems as though you like to associate with the wrong crowd and that doesn't bode well for you in this hobby.
 
I'm not siding with him for what you think and not agreeing he should be paid before shipping it back. Your making assumptions from nothing I actually said
 
And who's the wrong crowd? Please tell me? Richard Delbono who I've bought 2 beautiful boas from? Lisha Stearns who I received a gorgeous motley from? Or maybe because I provided info to this that the buyer could not because he got banned for disagreeing with an admin.
 
Also it is well known PayPal will NOT cover live animals which is why the buyer will always lose no matter what is what I was saying. So please tell me more about myself lol

Yes your opinion is wrong in this instance, (or at least against the norm.) Especially since he was HAPPY with the lizard, and then all of a sudden he kept coming up with things that were wrong with it. And even after the seller told him to send it back and she would refund, he kept coming up with other crap as to why she was WRONG for wanting the dragon before paying him.

So, you either need new reading comprehension skills or you like to associate with the wrong crowd. Either way, your opinion doesn't hold much weight, and neither do any of your other posts.

Read the other thread. He didn't get banned for disagreeing with an admin. He got banned because he couldn't put his big boy panties on and act like an adult. I'm seeing a pattern here.... :rolleyes:

He shouldn't have LIED to paypal either and said that he got an animal that wasn't as described. Her video shows the way it was shipped yet days AFTER he received it, it all of a sudden has tons of stuff wrong with it? BUYERS REMORSE!

And I could tell you more about yourself, but I think I'll hold my tongue on that. Seems as though you like to dig your own holes and step on your own banana peels here. Have fun with that :censored: contest you're trying to start up.
 
Funny. You people say facebook is bad. All I see here is people attacking others and trying to ruin their public image for their OWN opinions. Your allowed to have yours like I'm allowed to have mine. But personal attacks that are never deleted from here? And yet I'm the bad guy.
 
This is why so many say they HATE fauna and I'm starting to see why. A bunch of snobby people who think they're better than everyone else and has to personally attack them. I post a couple good guy threads and defend people who I've bought from (which a ton of people do also) and I'm sticking with the wrong crowd? I have been personally attacked by people on Facebook and here who use both because our opinions differ yet I'm the one not acting like an adult? Please.
 
Yea I read the links. And just because I have an "odd way of looking at a situation" that doesn't give people the right to personally attack me like above. Which I thought was against the rules? Isn't it in a post that you don't want people "scared away" from fauna because of that? Yet I only just started posting again after nothing was done about Bill zowak attacking me because I posted a good guy post about a good experience and saying I only said what I did because of a "pending deal" making me look bad when that was in fact not the case. Maybe you should take care of the people who attack others and try to ruin their public image just because opinions may differ or they don't blindly follow everyone else's train of thought.
 
I'm about to stop posting again because the actions as a whole including admins. I think I'll stick with facebook. I can't post good guy threads without people causing drama or can't have my own opinion without people saying I'm wrong and all sorts of things. Everyone's allowed to have an opinion and shouldn't be judged for it. But that's all I see here. People judging others over opinions and personal attacks.

Go ahead and read your own post history.

I did not say your opinion was garbage, so do you find reading what I posted to be a challenging effort? I am also not sure you saw any side other than your own.
