    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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 Mike Matson (Mikes Phat Frogs)

I guarantee any customer of mine that post a good review on fauna will be attacked by other members. Also, their good guy post will be littered with the links to a few bad guy post. That is without a doubt....
 
The difference is the good guys aren't like you, they don't need a pat on the back and a cookie from every member here every time they do the right thing. Theven people they do business with post about the transaction and that's enough. Your constant need to be recognized for every little thing you do is extremely childish. Adults do the right thing and don't need a pat on the back, a "good boy" and a cookie, knowing they did the right thing is satisfaction enough. You say this site doesn't matter and won't hurt your business yet your here posting more then anyone, it's obviously struck a nerve, if it hadn't you wouldn't bother to reply to anyone. You can lie all you want and make excuses that you think it's fun and you like messing with people on here but do you realize how immature that makes you look? Why would anyone want to do business with someone who behaves the way you do when someone disagrees with them? Sure there are plenty of people who don't know to read this site so those will keep buying from you but anyone who reads these threads I doubt will want to associate with you.
 
By the way, as you can see from this screen shot the number of good guy threads out numbers the number of bad guy threads and that is the way it always is on here, there are always far more good guy threads than bad. So saying that no one ever points out the good is completely false, like I said before the true good guys don't need lots of praise from the community to feel good about themselves, just knowing they treated their customers with respect and doing the right thing is good enough for them.

Mike said he would replace the entire order, I've been waiting almost three months for twenty frogs. Mike says he doesn't have frogs out of the water yet, but continues to post available frogs on Facebook. I've seen a few other people on Facebook groups complaining that all their lime albino from Mike Matson died.
Mike has since told me they will not be replaced because I out'ed him on a Facebook group. He responded with his typical empty school girl threats.

I filed the disputed after a month of not hearing from you. Any kind of simple even one word correspondence would have avoided all of this.
This thread was about a shipment of frogs. It was allowed to get off topic.

The replacements have been taken care of with an additional 16 not 15 free frogs because I can. Now if that's something that disappoints most wanting to continue this bad guy thread about the shipment of frogs I apologize for doing right........



It took a Paypal dispute and a post on this site for you to do the right thing.
 
Nature of the site is still the same. Bash the bad guys to find something to do. Ignore the good guy post.

There are derogatory post towards me also. No one likes the fact that I push back.

Sorry, but it appears obvious that you just do not understand the "nature of the site". Let me try to help you reach some understanding. So pay attention, please. You still haven't grasped the concept I pointed out to you that threads are not specifically issue-centric, they are people or business-centric. The threads are about the PERSONS or BUSINESSES engaged in the issue that has been brought up as a topic. The alleged wronged side of the transaction is merely filling in the blanks about the transaction as their offering of proof of what they have stated is factual, at least in their opinion. Members here like to see facts because they will come to their own conclusions about what took place. As such, it is not unusual for them to disagree with the claim being made.

So as to this "nature of the site" you appear to be claiming about...

People generally post "bad guy" threads here because they are hoping for help, often as a last resort because their own efforts to get the matter resolved themselves has reached a dead end. This help can be of the nature of getting an issue resolved that is satisfactory to them, whether it be getting what they believe they paid for, or sometimes it can be merely the fact that a public warning has been posted that may steer other people away from making the same mistake they did. And yes, people here are willing to help as much as they can with advice and opinions on how to best get the issue resolved. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. The alleged bad guys, however, since they become defensive and even regardless of overwhelming public opinion to the contrary, think they are in the right with their minority position, believe that everyone here is out to get them, and call it "bashing".

People posting "good guy" threads don't need any help, and except for a few people offering supporting "attaboys", that is about all that is expected from such threads. In effect, the "good guy" threads are basically just THANK YOU notes being posted by one site of a good transaction. Why would anyone even remotely think that "bad guy" threads wouldn't get a lot more activity than "good guy" threads? And yes, just because a thread might start out as a "good guy" or "bad guy" thread, there is no rule here that states that contrary evidence cannot be provided within that same thread. That is fair and fitting, don't you think?

THAT, sir, is the nature of this site.

And your problem with this "nature of the site" is what, exactly?
 
So in other words if a good guy thread is posted about any business that also has a bad guy thread, it is necessary for the members on here to link every bad guy thread to the new good guy thread posting?

So once a bad man always a bad man. Well shoot. I guess every medium to large scale reptile company is a "bad guy" since the Internet has post of bad transactions with everyone...

And Julia if you believe I needed praise for good shipments I would ask every customer to post them. I tell them to not post when they ask me. Simply because people like yourself and Lucille will "drag old garbage into a clean room" on a post.

I've shipped out 17 boxes this week alone of just frogs...... Don't believe me I can screen shot it to you lol If you want attention I can certainly give that to you.

Nope, there is no such requirement here at all. But it is obviously optional. It is completely up to any member as to whether they feel it behooves readers to know more about the topic of a specific BOI thread. That is what I meant about members helping other members in a previous post I made. I would think that the more information provided, the better informed a reader would be. Don't you?

So once a bad man always a bad man. Well shoot. I guess every medium to large scale reptile company is a "bad guy" since the Internet has post of bad transactions with everyone...

That is completely up to the members reading the threads to conclude based on the evidence that has been provided by the posters. Likely they are considering spending their money or otherwise engaging in business with someone. I believe they should be free to come to their own conclusions about someone. Don't you?

Nothing here prevents anyone from doing business with someone others may consider to be a "bad guy". That sort of decision is left up to everyone's own discretion. They spend their money and they take their own chances. They aren't spending MY money, so have at it.
 
Keeps bragging about how much he's selling yet can't finish paying his debts? Hmm.. either he's lying or really just a horrible person who refuses to settle debts fast and easily.

No it's not necessary, but most do it because sometimes people don't know about certain individuals before dealing with them. So it's to keep everyone informed, whether it be good or bad.

Well shoot, bad word travels a hell of a lot faster and farther than good word. It takes about 1000 positives to destroy 1 negative. So the more you make yourself look negative on this thread (and others) it will take you even longer to look in a positive light. But that's your own doing, and you're obviously comfortable in that light. More power to you over there on that side.

And Julia if you believe I needed praise for good shipments I would ask every customer to post them. I tell them to not post when they ask me. Simply because people like yourself and Lucille will "drag old garbage into a clean room" on a post.

You don't need praise, you just need to get your head out of your butt and realize that the more you cause yourself NEGATIVITY the worse you look to people that already know about you. Which YOU, yourself control.

I've shipped out 17 boxes this week alone of just frogs...... Don't believe me I can screen shot it to you lol If you want attention I can certainly give that to you.

I don't care how many stupid boxes you ship out a week. Your attitude still SUCKS! You could be the richest guy, with the most business and I'd still think you were a jerky person who I would never deal with. The attention that you are bringing upon yourself is not the kind of attention that you should be wanting. But you do act like a toddler and toddlers thrive on ANY and ALL attention, whether it's good or bad. (But I think my 2 year old acts more mature than you have. At least he knows to quit acting a fool while he's ahead instead of digging his hole deeper. :rolleyes: )
 
I'm posting this on a few of Matson's threads

Since this has gotten lost again...
 
Just an fyi. Mike matson got banned from using his own facebook page. I can only assume it's due to his cyber bullying of a minor.

Someone sentry me a screen shot of that post this morning and I thought the same thing, but the video is still there. I thought If someone reported the video and Facebook considered it a violation the video would be removed. Either my assumption was wrong or he was banned for another reason.
 
Jay pretty sure you were just banned on here correct?

My 36 hr Facebook ban was due to resharing a post. I will be back on shortly. A Facebook live video will be out soon. What's funny is you are blocked on my page. So someone is stocking me. Lol
 
And Julia that video doesn't break any Facebook rules. Neither will the next one that is coming out very soon. It will be a popular video. I can assure you that
 
Now I am going to ignore these post again. It shows how nuts some of you are about me.

Jay you never called back. Your threats are weak.

Stay tuned to the Mike matson Facebook page this Friday. There will be a great live video.

Yes I was for accumulation of points. 12 in like 6 years. No one is stalking you mike. And there is more to come. How many times have you been banned from fauna??? Under how many aliases? Also for how long??? I tell you what I don't do... Make videos about people. I will be addressing your post that was removed from facebook shortly I have the screenshots of it from before it was removed. I will spend as much time as I deem necessary and appropriate in sticking up for a little girl who is being ganged up on and bullied.
 
So you mean a little girl who wants to cry wolf when she is proven wrong to libel and slander of a business?

Here is what she said about LLL reptile..... I don't know about you but I support LLL and understand that they work hard to provide good animals for the public.

I haven't even expelled half the junk she has said about other companies.

Ofcoarse, Cher sent you the screen shots. There is more that I left out. The video will be great.


Maybe, you do some cyber bullying yourself there Jay..... Like I said I have yet to initiate a comment on a Jay sommers post anywhere. You seek out myself and spectrum reptiles along with a few other people.

I really don't care too much about you or your weak threats. Glad you needed the security to have Ramy ban me from the super show. That way there is no face to face and you can be this tough guy behind a computer like you always have been. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Have a good day Jay!

Yes she said something in private about LLL. And what's your point? Also stop challenging me and taunting me. You know very well I am not afraid of you. I don't have the power or authority to get people banned from any show. You accomplished that on your own.

So CHer said something about LLL reptile. And it's a testament to Loren's professionalism I guess that he didn't go bonkers and make a 10 minute video temper tantrum about how his business was wronged! No it's actually not a testament. Normal people don't do that.
And I am aware you and Barry at spectrum reptiles are buddies you both keep referencing each other.
Anyway you're banned from the super show. You already lost an international sale you aren't even aware of. You're not allowed on Sandfire property anymore. So I guess you're doing good.

Also you keep antagonizing me , taunting and challenging me. How come I have a screen shot of you saying you are going to get a restraining order against me??? That doesn't sound much like some tough threatening scary person. Sounds more like you are the kne who is scared.
You are digging your own grave. Your reputation will soon be Unsalvageable .
