    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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 Ritchie Luna aka HerpVenue

While the OP showed immaturity by making this thread, and proved to be someone I personally wouldn't deal with, it doesn't absolve Luna from his actions, which started this mess in the first place. Who posts PMs on someone's ad? That makes no sense. I don't care how long he's been here, and he really might be a decent guy, but that kind of behavior is suspect to me, and both parties seem like a headache to deal with. I will be avoiding them both, and if anyone else has something to say, feel free to PM me instead of leaving nameless, gutless messages in my karma LOL.

Silly chelonian dude, nameless messages are for those who don't pay to play.

Pony up a small membership fee and you to can see
Anyone who chooses to leave a message for thee

Then you can be
totally righteous in your
indignity
 
Did you see the PM's on the ad?
Did you read what they contained?
Or are you making uninformed judgements?

The first post was me saying no thanks basically. It was actually kind of accidental. I do not know why I did it or how it truly happened. To this day I ask myself why. But it was a harmless post.

The second post you can read it for yourself. You will see why I did it.
Same with the third one.



I have pics of the enchi on my phone so if you want to shoot me a txt or email I can send the
Via txt or email. 912-674-4760 or [email protected]
What is your problem? I did nothing for you to disrespect me on the public forum like that. You don't like the fact the picture isnt there that's not my problem don't buy from me. I offered to get you pictures what is the problem? It is not online becaue my digital camera is in Afghanistan with my brother. So I'm sorry if that is upsetting to you but that is how it is. Please edit or delete your post or I will ask the mods to. I sent you a PRIVATE message for a reason.
You are the one who got all butt hurt just because I couldn't post pictures of one snake... Sorry if I'm not able . I gave you other options. You decided those weren't good enough..not my problem. I tried did what i could...Then u have to go posting private messages. Fight your battles like a big boy and don't try to trash me on the forum. Feel free to call me and sort this out like a man. 912-674-4760 but we both know I won't be hearing from you.

If you still can't see it that is fine. I can't please all potential customers. I can just try. Ask my past customers how much of a "headache" I am to deal with. :thumbsup:
 
It looks to me like the second and third posts are reactionary to the fact that you posted the first one. So no, I don't see why you did it. You are the antagonist in this case, whether you want to admit it or not.
 
I concede.

I am an antagonist because I posted his pm on his ad. Even though the PM I posted is almost what he says in his ad with only a couple minor word changes. Not a problem. It is what it is. I can't change my actions now. I just have to face the consequences. Trust me; I have been beating myself up for this. Especially since I found out the fact that he can't reply to me in his ad. That is probably a contributing factor as to why he got so upset

He lied about not being able to upload pics because of my antagonism.
He lied about the messages he sent to webslave because of my antagonism.
It was all my fault. It seems I make people lie. So all these years of hunting for the bad guys (ferretting), the only reason I was somewhat good at it was because I was making people do it all along

So to Zach, I will leave this thread with a public apology. You only lied because I made you do it. You only lied because I was sitting on your lap typing on your keyboard while trying to talk about the first things that come up.
So to you I apologize
And now back to studying for my other finals. Happy Holidays to everybody. :deer: :deer: :deer:
 
Since this is a thread about Ritchie Luna being a "Bad Guy" I feel it is appropriate to say that I have known Ritchie for a very long time. I have never seen any evidence of him being a bad guy. He also seems to have an unerring ability to only go after the people who turn out to be truly bad guys here on the BOI.

Frankly, if Ritchie has said something negative about someone here on the BOI, I consider that to mean that their business ethics barometer has hit zero and puts them automatically in the category of someone with whom I would never consider doing business with. I expect that he has, by dint of extraordinary effort, saved more people from terrible business transactions than any other single person on this forum.

I would rather gnaw my own fingers off than type the words "Ritchie Luna is a Bad Guy".
