    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....

Especially with 3 good guy posts in such a short amount of time. That tends to lead one to believe that the posters have been coached to come here, and that is not very sincere...

It could just mean that Ryan has just been really busy lately and selling lots of animals..... could it not?

We can all interpret things any way we want to suit our opinions...... and most people here usually do.

I think Ryans past is pretty well documented and that this thread is not going to make one bit of difference either way. Skepticism is going to follow him for a long time no matter what he does.
 
I know if I were to be in the situation where I "fell out of graces" with people over bad tranactions and wanted to reassert myself as someone who could be trusted I would provide whatever information was asked of me. It may become a real pain in the a$$ and there will always be someone left to naysay, however, irrefutable proof does not leave so much room for argument. Just my 2 pennies.

Bill,

If all three tracking numbers and the pay-pal screen shot were provided and verified the story these two are telling it would go a long way towards eliminating questioning of future transactions. If they have nothing to hide, then why are they both so against providing the proof that they are telling the truth? Getting the truth shouldn't be like pulling teeth.

Matt I'll save the Fell from Grace for the re-opening of that thread :) Now the subject at hand, Nobody is looking for truth...they just want to beat Chip and Ryan into the ground...See the way I figure it is you people ask the wrong questions or ask the right questions but the wrong way He gave the tracking # and refused to give a pay-pal reciept If it was paid him back cool but if wasn't dont you think that is between the 2 parties? and not everybody here??? Chip said it was a good deal why not just leave it at that... :)

An example of Ryan Trude's stellar customer service and great temperment in a post addressed to me from the AHA this morning........

I'm gonna post this just to help you out since you still haven't gotten it and are just making yourself look stupid. The Bob Clark het...was sold to me as one...with no paperwork...so it is undocumented. Are you grasping this part yet? I don't know how more simple I can make it for you. I've stated that in every ad. Since she is undocumented and didn't prove out, I can only guarantee these as 50% hets. If she had proven out, they would have been 66%. The 100% het male that is documented by Cypress Creek is the father. Again, making these 50% hets. By the way, can't you deciper between Cypress Creek and Bob Clark? You've been asking the same dumb question for like 3 days. It's been right in front of you the whole time. Stop running your mouth and read.

I'm to be avoided? Good. Avoid me. I'll be avoiding you also. I wouldn't want you sending whatever I get from you to the wrong address since you obviously have a little trouble with READING. That's something very basic. You expect people you deal with to be able to read. Thanks for outing yourself. You could cause big problems for anyone that expects you to have more than a first grade education.

Perhaps not, but it may give a hint as to how he will treat you after the sale if you ask a "dumb" question. :hot:

Chip could have been sent a toenail clipper from Ryan and we would never know the difference. For all I know, Chip could be Ryan's cousin with a really bad hang nail. The PayPal receipt will confirm Chipdedips claim.

Its a long haul back to the top, Bill, and I surely wouldn't be stopping along the way to rest on bench with Ryan and Chip. :rolleyes:
 
Let me make myself very clear here. I really hope Ryan does well and turns out to be the guy he wants to be. I support and commend his efforts in doing such. It is nice to see that he is improving on his toneing down temper. My hat is off to him for that. It also appears on the surface that he is improving on his customer service. However, I also totally understand the skepticsim that exists here due to his past behavior. I will also say that Bill (a recent outed scammer and thief) is not helping matters for Ryan or reptile guy by comming to their defense. It actually makes me more skeptical. All we need now is for Neil to come blasting in and remove all doubt. :>poke2<:
