    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 Randy Gonzalez AKA IRandy

Classy.

If he doesn't want to sell it for what you want to pay, deal with it, stop asking.

PS: Thanks for the karma!

Yep, she's SO remorseful that she ran around giving retalitory Karma..she's REALLY sorry..yeah, right.:rolleyes:

In my opinion, a person that's really sorry would not have done the things she's done. All she's done for ME is show she's sneaky and revengeful...yeah, I think we called it right. ;)

I forgive quickly, but when someone is on here weeping and moaning and to my face, while behind the scenes she/he is trying to "get even" with people for posting their opinions, that has a LOT to do with my responses.:reddevil:

I did tell harold that I will not publically post who the PMs were from

That is your decision...but, since in that same message you stated that you read the rules, you should realize that you are opening yourself for an infraction. (Hence my post giving you an opportunity to avoid that problem)

I can post them but will however remove there names..... which ultimately in my mind will not prove anything. It can easily be judged that I made the pms up and I have thought about that fact (go figure I am actually thinking before I bring someone down). so how would I post while still protecting those peoples identity?

Posting the messages without posting the name(s) of the source(s) would still be anonymous third party quotation...which is an infraction. Bottom line - the statement shouldn't have been made if you aren't willing to say where the information came from.

All posting that information would do now is deflect some of the heat you are feeling...and somewhat justify your concerns. If that was shown to be legitimate, some people wouldn't think you pulled that whole statement out of your :bleep: just because the you were under the guns.

If I were to offer you any advice, Deobra, it would be - stop posting in this thread (there's really nothing left for you to say, so let the thread die until somebody has just cause to resurrect it), take a little time to reflect on what you may have learned from this, and incorporate those things into your approach in the classifieds.
 
Deobra: if you're opinion of Randy Gonzalez has changed and you now think he is a good guy, one step in the direction of making up for your "mistake" might be to make a good guy post about how well he's handled himself. The casual browser might better notice a goodguy post following a badguy post by the same author.

In general: take your lumps with grace. You messed up, whether by ignorance or an overly entitled personality. It wasn't the worst mistake in the world but neither is being chewed out by a few folks online the worst thing in life. IMHO, the punishment fits the "crime". Forgiveness can't be demanded, people will or won't in their own time, likely based on how you continue to conduct yourself.

If she thought him a bad guy because he wouldn't provide pics of snakes she wasn't going to purchase, or at least not at his price, and she has not had a transaction with him....what grounds would she have for now deciding he is a good guy? Because he accepted her apology? She's already apologized profusely in this thread, there is no reason for her to start another one about this same experience. (Though part of me would get a kick out of seeing it: I posted a Bad Guy thread about this guy, Randy, and everybody yelled at me. I apologized for doing it, and exchanged some messages with Randy. He told me not to worry about it, so I guess he's a Good Guy...even if he probably won't sell to me now)

roflmfao..
 
It's happened before. I have one of those myself. :rofl:

I'd be interested in seeing who it was that was badmouthing the seller's animals via pm and what was specifically said. Why would they not post here themselves if they thought it had any merit? Curious.

Kudos for apologizing. It's a start.

I definitely don't think she should start one, but it would be nice if one of his past customers would start a good guy thread.

:NoNo: I give her no kudos, because while she was being all EMO here, she was showing her true colors behind the scenes.:rofl::rofl:
 
I am currently in the middle of a deal with Randy. He has been verry respectful of my time and miney. He has gone above and beyond to accomadate me and to work with me. All I have to say is if you don't want what he is selling at the price he is selling then find someone who is. This goes for evert seller, not just him.
