    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....

Randall Ellis, Reptile Locators (BAD GUY)

So Randy, It is everyones fault?

You have not refused to pay AA.
you have not been found to tell untruths
you have not sent dead animals, many times.

It is everyone elses fault not your. You are the only honest man left.
 
a quote from the BOI rules interesting

Here is a quote from weblslaves rules of the BOI.

so be it---- who might it apply to? :shootfoot




"Also, please bear in mind that threatening to, or following through with, filing a lawsuit against either the webmaster here (me) or anyone else posting on this message board carries substantial risks to yourself. Such an action will most certainly be made very public, and the public backlash will quite probably be much more than you had bargained for. More than likely, the damage to you or your business from initiating such an action will be far, far greater than the original cause of your finding a reason to contact an attorney in the first place. This has already happened once, and the person whom initiated the threat of a lawsuit not only became the target of a boycott, but every one of his business's customers were targeted for a boycott as well. This will be very dangerous ground for you to be walking on."

so have fun
next time try to handle things like men :iagree:

remember the rules are real and the rest is only my opinion.
 
Hey Bud, that is not a rule. Its meant to interpret as "a rule of thumb". Of things you should and not be doing. As in you don't do things like that because in most cases it carries repercussions for yourself as well.

That said...don't expect anyone to be boycotting the guy on your behalf anytime soon. Most folks don't like him as it is around here, and as far as I can tell you aren't very much appreciated around here either.
 
ok but explain

OK bill but I have never scammed anyone or ripped of anybody ever in my life.
heck I have been the victim here
could you please explain what evidence you might have that I have done anything of the sort other than disagreeing with a few people here.
also for the most part the people that attacked me have been removed from fauna I could list them .
can you list my errors? :yesnod:
if you can lets see them.
I have been very civil here,you seem to have changed also for the better.
show us a link since no posts are removed except by court order.
if they do not exist then they are not here.
thanks
 
I would have to agree that the only time that bud had bad thinks happy to him was way back when back to the days that Randy Ellis had friends. Bud posted the deal where Ellis sent him a box of dead snakes Bud posted the facts. Then the friends that Ellis had (or paid animals for them to post good about him) came out of the wood work. As far as I know Bud has never has a bad deal.

No one said you scammed anyone or ripped anyone off. And honestly youve done a great deal to victimize yourself here.

I dont need to post any evidence because I never stated anywhere that you scammed or ripped anyone off. Could you please post the evidence where I may have stated you've done so?

Cool. List the people that you had a direct involvement with in being removed from fauna. I wouldnt mind seeing it.

I'm cruel but I'm not that cruel Bud. You got a one time only pass on that request.

Not exactly true. From what I understand, as a rule, nothing gets deleted. But the webmaster can remove any and all posts made by a member at his discretion without a court order. Haven't you ever viewed a thread where a post has been removed?

In fairness and curiosity I went back to the thread to look at the photo and the only thing I saw was a wooden crate marked venomous. I didn't see any dead animals. Maybe I missed them or they didn't load in the thread? Anyway, Bud made some accusations on the thread that to date have not been backed up by any proof. In light of no proof, Randy does have the right to defend himself against those accusations. It has nothing to do with any of Buds past deals with anyone or whether they were good or bad. Its about the things that Bud said that he cant prove. That puts Randy in the drivers seat in this lawsuit against him. Simple as that.

And honestly Dave, you just made the same mistake Bud did by posting this:

"Then the friends that Ellis had (or paid animals for them to post good about him) came out of the wood work".

You've accused the guy of bribing people with free animals. Not a very smart thing to do. You and Bud should be a couple.
 
Bill, those are all good points But there are several things that you may not know, such as

Ellis's case was tossed out of Federal court, because Bud had the proof (photo and e-mails)

Bud does have the proof such as a dozen or so people that are on his witness list that seen the doa animals as he was unpacking them

Ellis ask me to post are that thread that I have never gotten a dead animal from him (Ellis) and that Bud was lying, If I did I was to get some black tails and Mojavas. I did not post because it was all a lie. I did get some dead from Ellis and Bud was and is telling the truth.

I am not going to reread that post but didn't Ellis say that he never sent any snakes to bud and that is the reason bud posted the box photo?

Actually I believe Randy corrected himself prior to Bud posting that one photo.
 
Yes it looks like you are right. Do me a favor Bill, can you ask Randy and Cathy why if the animals not entirely or parially for Bud then why did they ship it in Buds name? I know the answer but I what to hear what they say.

I wouldn't mind doing you the favor, but I really don't know either of them, nor do I think its in my best interest to get to know them. It may appear I was taking a side here, but honestly I don't think much of either Bud or Randy. Its more or less to me just two people who are pretty much deserving of the situation they've both found themselves in. One cant help himself to do the right thing and the other simply refuses to do the right thing. Quite deserving of their troubles indeed.
 
Well Bill, In in this hobby/buisness that we are in Ellis has cheated/scammed and had enough bad dealings to earn the name " BAD GUY ". HE IS TRUELY THE WORST OF THE WORST NOT ONLY IS HE A BAD GUY BUT HE HAS CHOSEN TO JOIN THE ALL TIME BAD GUY TEAM, He is working with Bob Slone (Keith Northrop being threaten by Slone is the proof) and Bob Edwards (also the threats to Keith and that Edwards himself says it to be true). Three people that if you see them be afraid very afraid.

Now for Bud, Yes he pissed some people off but I have never heard that he did anyone wrong with a snakes deal. Now people like to say that Bud and myself are great friends and hang out together, that is not the truth I know Bud and have only seen him a few times I have never bought or sold from him or to him.

Well Bill, it is very wise for you to steer clear of Ellis. The reason he shipped the snakes to Bud was that Randy and Cathy knowingly sold Hot snakes to a man that had (at that time or has now) a venomous permit. That in Florida in a crime. Randy who claims to be honest and law abidding knowingly broke the law. To my knowledge bud did not know this fact until after the fact. I have known Edwards since the late 80's and at one time concidered him a friend (until he stole 7000 in anaimls from me) I was under the impression that he had a venomous permit. This was just another one of many lies.

Not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you saying that Randy sent hot snakes to Bud, and that Bud was supposed to give them to someone who had NO Fl. permit?

And, if this is true, how could Bud have NOT known what was going on?

I understand that Bud pisses a few people off. I am not one of them.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you were trying to say.
:shrug01:
 
No, Bud has a Fl. permit. Randall sold hots to a person in Florida knowing that he had no permit and used Bud to deliver them.

So then it would follow that Bud was accepting delivery for the hot snakes to give to the person who didn't have a permit to keep hots. And if the order went great and there were no complaints I'm almost certain this would have been done again and again.

So what we have here are a couple of scumbags who worked together and were willing to break the law, unless of course something goes wrong with the order and then its every scumbag for himself which is exactly what seems to have happened.

The only thing that prevented Bud from circumventing the law and distributing hot snakes to a person without a license was the fact the snakes arrived dead and in overall poor condition.

Now I understand. And this is the same Bud your telling me does some great deals? K...thanks dave.
 
Chuck, before you castrate Bud, keep in mind that the only evidence that this, in fact, occurred is Dave Lawson's say so.
 
Well Bill, read the whole post that I wrote about that.

Several people in Fl. That know Edward was uder the impression he HAD THE PERMIT. AFTER THIS/THAT DEAL IS WHEN WE FOUND OUT THE TRUTH.
