    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....

This is a Heads up on Ryan Trude: This individual gets very irrate and nasty if not given offers on inquiries as well as being very offensive and Intrusive:

Karl: okay. How much for the 2 Female Hatchling vanilla spotnose?

Ryan: $800
Open to working something out if it's realistic. That's just what they're worth to me.

Karl:
ah.....I cannot get anywhere near close to that for the female spots. I do thank you very much for your time and effort.

Ryan: Where can u get to?
I would like to sell them in as big of a group as possible but won't give them away.
You won't find Vanilla Spotnoses ANYWHERE else.
Or most of anything else I have.

Karl:
I'm just not going to be able to come close to what you need. Thank You Ryan very much. I'm sure they will all sell very quickly. Take Care Sir, Karl

Ryan:
Haha...yeah right.
Just give me the lowball. I wanna know. What would you spend on the 5 of them together?

Karl:
Sorry, that's not how I do Business. Good Day

Ryan:
What are u talkin about? You obviously have an offer in mind, what is it?

Karl:
I am no longer interested. I now feel you are being rather intrusive. Please refrain from messaging me. Thank You

Ryan:
Haha...fuck you jerk off. This isn't a business anymore. It's a bunch of time wasting shit talkers.

Karl:
Go cry to your mama lol

Ryan:
Blow me. So done with all of you douchebags.
 
Was this conversation done through email?


Karl I would have cut the conversation short right after the lowball comment. You were very courteous. It seems to me from stuff I have sold, that if one puts something up for sale there can be all sorts of inquiries, and not all of them will end up with a sale.

I hope the seller learns some customer service, and I'm sorry you had to deal with that conversation.
 
Aaaawwww, Karl posted bad words! He should be banned right now!
I'm gonna tell. :> poke2 <:

I assume that is beyond his capability.

I do not think this really warrants a BG thread. An Info thread sure, but a BG just for someone being a jerk is "meh". Seems like Ryan is going to manage to turn it into one anyway.

Time will tell.

Either way, you really should post screen shots of the convo with the vulgarity blacked out because the way you posted it, Karl, could have been easily tampered with.
 
I have those screen shots. again sorry bout the vulgarity not being blocked out. If this escalates, I will post the screen shots with curse words blacked out :)
 
You should post them now.

You're the one that escalated it by posting a BG thread when it wasn't really warranted.

The burden of proof that this is how the conversation happened lies on you.

Guys, the ONLY person who can determine whether any bad guy thread is really needed is the person who posts it. This person thought it was. Some of you think it wasn't. It's not YOUR thread, it's his. You're entitled to your opinions and to make your comments, but calling into question the validity of this is a bit much. You'd think the same, I think, were you the OP.

I've personally dealt with mr. trude. His word means nothing to him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mr. Buckler made an inquiry. The animals in question were out of his price range so he respectfully let Ryan know right off the bat. Ryan then goaded him to give a low-ball offer, which was also respectfully declined.

The conversation should have been done, right then and there. Instead, Ryan wants to know "what would you spend on the 5 of them together?"; Gimme an offer, gimme an offer, after Karl has already declined and signed off more than once.

Ryan then continues with profane insults when he doesn't get his way. OP posts here and Ryan actually shows up here at Fauna to taunt and insult some more.

Hello .. who is the more respectable, credible?

(PS Karl, you need to censor the banned words better ... one blacked out letter doesn't cut it)
 
The conversation should have ended twice.

Karl sunk to Ryan's level in the end and baited him into another insult. So, in terms of him being more respectable or credible, I guess you can say that up to that point. What I see though is someone who got a kick out of the overreaction and instead of walking away from it like a mature person, they joined in on it to get a further then posted a Bad Guy thread about it to take even one more step rather than just make it an Info thread. Probably under the hope that Ryan would melt down. Which, honestly, I half expected him too, but it seems that is not the case.

This is just petty to me. On both ends.
 
Hey Karl, I just finally paid enough attention to your whining to notice something...How bout you show them the WHOLE thread of us going back and forth for hours. You requesting all kinds of pics. Going this way, going that way. You know...the way it actually went. You wanna shine a light on what a good little ball boy you are, you should get ALL of the credit. So where's the rest, sweetie? Is there enough room to post it? I'd do it but I couldn't care less. I'll let you handle it.

So you would rather wait until the "deal" is "complete" before you post? Would that include not posting on a scammer until after you've paid ?:rolleyes:
 
Make that going back and forth for DAYS. I just looked at it again.
Do you people really hold this crap in any regard whatsoever? Petty. Pointless. Pathetic.
