    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 Rob Hutchinson - laterob

Well, no big surprise here, digitaloverkill (Frank Murray) never produced any ID. Therefore we are making the logical conclusion that he is, in fact aeterrabyte(Thomas Dorn). The account has been banned for having multiple accounts and posting within the BOI with a false name.

Under most circumstances, his posts would be deleted, but I think in the spirit of providing a clear picture of just what kind of individual he is, I believe his posts should remain for all to see.

I agree. To me, circumventing rules in that manner is akin to cheating. I'm not sure his academic peers would appreciate such behavior.
 
I purchased a snake from Thomas with no problems.

Rob,

Did you just claim that the snake is fine? From the video it looks as it does have some wobble
Thomas said over and over that the snake was fine besides the inborn defect(wobble)?
How come you did not honor your agreement, and just accept the snake back within the 30day period.

I have to say I am actually on Thomas' side on this one. I will not be giving any documentation to anyone on this site.
The administrators of this site are not correctly moderating the forum and I don't trust them with my personal information, even my IP address as Thomas told me before he asked me to write the review.

You are being placed in limbo till such time that you reply to the query sent to you requesting proof of your identity. There is evidence that you are Thomas Dorn in disguise (along with a prior account under the name of "digitaloverkill"), and until proof is forthcoming to prove otherwise, that is the assumption we will be making.

'James Smith' has been temporarily banned, pending his supplying proof of ID. He has 24 hrs to respond, otherwise his posts will be deleted.
 
Now that the last post appears three times on this page, I feel like I should address it (again) so that if people skim this thread and read the last page, they won't get the wrong impression.


Did you just claim that the snake is fine? She seems to be, despite questionable husbandry and the invasive procedure Thomas subjected her to.

From the video it looks as it does have some wobble
Thomas said over and over that the snake was fine besides the inborn defect(wobble)? I don't remember that. I remember me offering him a refund multiple times if the snake was healthy (wobble qualifies)...he stated that he is familiar with wobble having previously owned two Spiders. What he did say over and over is that the snake was worthless, defective, junk, had IBD, was dying (although he spelled it 'dieing'), etc. One thing that particularly stands out is when he said something to the effect of "Rob really needs to put on his big boy pants and deal with this. If more snakes die because of him, that would be a damn shame".

How come you did not honor your agreement, and just accept the snake back within the 30day period. Again, I offered to refund his money upon the return of a healthy snake. On the other hand, I would have paid for any/all vet care if she was sick like he mentioned over and over.

I have to say I am actually on Thomas' side on this one. I will not be giving any documentation to anyone on this site. That really doesn't make sense. If you have nothing to hide, and you want people to think you are who you say you are, you should have no problem with proving it here.

The administrators of this site are not correctly moderating the forum and I don't trust them with my personal information, even my IP address as Thomas told me before he asked me to write the review. He not only asked you to write a review, but also advised you to mask your identity? Sounds like a real winning move to me.

Since most of this is about Thomas, I'd like to politely request that further discussion be taken to the Thomas Dorn information thread. To anyone who bothers reading the 130+ pages of this related posts, I think it's clear who the 'Bad Guy' is. For those who choose not to, there is now a 17-page Bad Guy thread about me for them to consider.

Yes, I chose to bring my experience with Thomas to the BOI, and that choice comes with consequences. In my case, a 17-page BG thread that I (personally) believe to be meritless and retaliatory in nature. Plus that unexpected extra of shill accounts bringing this thread to the top and burying the pertinent information in drivel.

Every time this thread gets bumped, I cringe. After over a month of fighting with Thomas and several hundred posts, I'd really like to see this stop diverging (for those who read in the future, there are now 4 threads involving the same person, Thomas Dorn, in some way or another.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I would ask all potential buyers/ sellers of mine to please, please take the time to read the pertinent information, and come to a decision on your own.

Stop right there THOMAS! No seriously, I have been following this thread the entire time, and I remember thinking how weird this word was that he kept using... "inborn". Which I had never really seen until this thread. And I kept thinking about it.... and now Mr. James Smith is suddenly using the same terminology, all while covering up his identity. Coincidence?

Yea........ sure it is :yesnod:
