• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

"Simply Snakes"=simply pathetic

Well it did not pan out.

Webtv assigns dynamic IP addresses just like aol does.
So a lot of people from florida who use webtv will have the same IP address.

So I have to withdraw my previous thoughts and assumptions.
 
Thanks for checking, though, Ritchie.

At the very least, one would have to assume that someone contacted Mr. Pippen (I believe that is his name!?!?!?) to post here on behalf of Simply Snakes. The new inability of non-registered people to view the BOI precludes anything else being possible, it would seem.

I guess there is nothing inherently wrong with it, but I have just never liked the idea of people asking for supporters to come here just for the purpose of posting on their behalf. It smacks of gladhanding politicking to me.
 
I think that simply snakes has shown a lot of class by staying out of this other than the initial post or two. To me it would have been as bad if they would have been on here ranting about the vulger email they recieved as opposed to the rantings that Evan has been spouting about the marginaly rude (open to interpretation) comment he recieved. So SS contacted someone who they trusted and had dealt with to step in and say a few words on their behalf. (if they in fact did it which they may or may not have) I think it is a wise strategy given some people's ways.

I don't know SS but I believe that they would have left this lie after the email they got. I doubt if they would have done anything more (at least publicly) it does not surprise me in the least to see which party it was to bring it public. If either of the parties in this case is pathetic it is not them

And as far as deleting the thread, that's one of the nice things about the BOI. You step in your own big pile of s**t and there is no way you can wipe it off. You will stink forever. Its amazing (well not really, it makes sense, but its amazing that people think this way) that the ones who usually want threads deleted are the one that look the worst in it.

Children with nothing better to do

Hello everybody.It has come to my attention,that you think that SpittingCobra61 is Paul Moody.Well,YOU'RE WRONG MORONS.My name is Robert Pippin,and I just happen to stumble upon this GARBAGE,while going through this site.Paul and Beth are by far,THE MOST professional herpetologists that I have EVER known,and others who only THINK that tey are professionals,should sit back,shut up,and observe to see just how customers SHOULD be treated.Take my advice.To run a successful herpetological business,learn from Paul and Beth,and start treating people the way that they do.Maybe then,you will get somewhere.If you,for one second think that I am Paul Moody,E-MAIL ME at [email protected],and I can,and WILL prove you wrong.I'll also show you just how stupid you really are.But,anybody who writes the type of BS that I read about Paul and Beth,that is PROOF POSITIVE that you are stupid.But,e-mail me anyway.I know that some of you idiots may need to get permission from your mommies first,but, go ahead,e-mail me.Like I said before,I have known Paul and Beth for a long time,and they are THE BEST herpetologists that I have ever met in my life.
Hmmmmmm,I was just thinking.Maybe some of you IDIOTS really DON'T have anything better to do with your time.But,Paul and Beth don't,because they are busy serving YOUR customers,and treating them FAIRLY.
Remember now KIDS,that's [email protected] don't forget to get your mommies permission before using the computer.And from now on,MEET people BEFORE slamming them on a public forum.Get to REALLY KNOW them.
 
Actually, I believe you've jumped to conclusions. I don't think anyone was thinking of Paul Moody when they were saying the style of typing reminded them (us) of someone, who has his own reputation on here. The someone we were thinking of lives elsewhere in Florida, and has WebTv. Paul and Beth have AOL.
 
Mr. Pippin

Well,YOU'RE WRONG MORONS
I'll also show you just how stupid you really are.
I know that some of you idiots may need to get permission from your mommies first,
Maybe some of you IDIOTS really DON'T have anything better to do
Followed by:
And from now on,MEET people BEFORE slamming them on a public forum.Get to REALLY KNOW them.
Mr. Pippin, is the irony of this lost on you?

Did I say that Mr. "Pippin was Paul Moody?

I could have sworn I said that
1. The webTV
2. The CAPITALIZATION (writing style)
3. The derogatory remarks towards members
4. The state

reminds ME of SOMEONE ELSE

Someone who also has,
1. Web TV
2. CAPITALIZES every other word
3. made derogatory name calling remarks
4. and comes from Florida

Paul Moody
1. Does NOT have Web TV
2. Does not CAPITALIZE every other word
3. Did not call anyone names
4. But does come from florida.

What would be the icing on the cake is if Paul Moody came and said he has never met you. But I do not think that will happen anytime soon. But I have been wrong before.
 
wow... I must say... you have now completely destroyed your credibility with this recent post. Whatever good you did for SimplySnakes with your first post.. well... atleast with me.. means nada in this thread.. because you obvisouly aren't worthy of being taken seriously.
 
1969????????????

You people are complete MORONS.If my profile says that I was born in 1969,it is WRONG.I was born January 17,1961.I started studying snakes with no formal training at the age of "10" in 1971.I am now 42.Paul and Beth are both younger than I am,but,I look up to BOTH of tem,as teachers,as well as great friends.I will defend them to the end,on this matter,and any other matters of any kind which may arise.They are good people,who don't deserve the type of treatent that they are getting here.Like said before.MEET THEM,THEN JUDGE THEM.Or,just go on through your lives and keep being COMPLETE JUDGEMENTAL MORONS.I have known 2 year olds with more intelligence than you pople have displayed here.LEARN FROM THEM.And take another math class you pathetic idiots.
 
If you don't mind tolerating a mathematically challenged pathetic idiot....


Birthday December 31, 1969
Full Name Robert Pippin
Location Ocala Florida
Interests Herpetology
Occupation Disabled
Biography I have bee studying snakes for over 30 years,but never really got serious about it until I met Paul Moody,owner of SimplySnakes.


Are you saying your birthday is incorrect on your profile? Who set up your profile, then, Mr. Pippin?
 
If you,for one second think that I am Paul Moody,E-MAIL ME at [email protected],and I can,and WILL prove you wrong.I'll also show you just how stupid you really are.
I do not for ONE second think you are Paul Moody.
But you know what?
Prove me wrong anyway.
Right here in front of over FOUR THOUSAND members.
Prove to everyone how stupid I really am.

Post your license or something. Show them you are not Paul Moody.

keep being COMPLETE JUDGEMENTAL MORONS.
AHHH how ironic..

ANYWAY I do not really think anyone was judging the Paul and Beth.
They were saying that maybe the e-mail they wrote might have been too much. That is it. People here would have still bought from them. Perhaps you need to read the whole thread again. Because perhaps the person calling everyone a MORON is the person best described by the word MORON.

And with Friends like you defending them......who needs enemies.


oh yeah. I thought it was you who said get to know people before judging them. Then why are you calling everyone morons?
Do as you say but not as you do?
And take another math class you pathetic idiots.
At least I know my Birthdate.

p.s. Calculus 4 is as far as I got in college. I am an ignorant mathematical fool I guess
 
All those insults from someone who doesn't even put a space after any punctuation. Not sure about everyone else, but I have never hit 9 when I meant to hit 1, and I have never forgotten which year I was born in.

With friends like him.......
 
Darn! I haven't banned someone for what seems like ages! And here this guy is heading full tilt in that direction.
 
If you say we're morons, well I guess you would know best . . . course, none of us have the wrong birthdates in our profiles!

So we shouldn't judge people before we REALLY get to know them??? You mean, like you're now doing?

You really DO need to refrain from calling people such names on the internet, my friend. You never know who you'll meet one day, and some of the people on here are 7'4" and 425 pounds!

:D
 
This is only tangentally on topic, but... the topic probably doesn't merit further discussion anyway. I figured I'd pass on some info for our resident ferret.

This is about dynamic IP addresses. When a DHCP server assigns a dynamic IP address, that address comes with a "lease" period. It's usually at least 24 hours. It could be longer. So, even if someone logs off and back on, or turns their computer off and back on, they will have the same IP address associated with their computer for the lease period. If two posts come close together (under 24 hrs) and have the same IP address, they are from the same user. You can have dynamic IP addressing through your internet provider and actually keep the same IP address for quite a while.

Here's a link that might be helpful:

Hey cobra dude, you are way out of line. With friends like you Simply Snakes simply needs no enemies. You have irritated me to the point that I would have serious reservations about doing business with Simply Snakes if it put me in company with the likes of you. Do you KISS your mommy with that mouth? Better yet do you even know who your mommy is because with an attitude like that it's pretty obvious that you have very little self esteem, perhaps no mommy to show you how to play nice?

And Darin is right, careful who you call names, some of us don't cotton to rude loud mouth jackasses(THIS WOULD BE YOU COBRA WHATEVER).

Were this a pole, I'd vote him right off the board.

Wes Pollock
 
Actually I reread the first link.

Web TV is more like a proxy server.

Anyway I would like to see this guy's so called "proof" that he is not Paul Moody.

Because even though I do not think he is Paul.......I would still be interested in his so called proof.

Was he gonna scan a license or something?
 
Well Robert, I hope you are pleased with yourself. In a very short period of time you have identified yourself as someone who most of us will never bother to deal with, but worse than that you have placed a black mark on the very name of the person you came on here to defend. At this point I hope that you did do this on your own because if Paul did ask you to post on his behalf I'll bet he is kicking himself in the pants right now. You obviously do not read your own posts or pay any attention to what you are typing. Its one thing to chastize people for being childish, but to do it in a manner even more childish makes you look like a complete fool.

Steve Schindler
 
Ummmm.... Now this thread I would understand closing. Seeing as it's so far off topic the Hubble couldn't see the topic from here.
 
I do not think that there is a black mark on Paul for this, he can't be responsible or control other peoples actions, that is just silly.
Though it is still beyond me why this thread is still here. I didn't know a curt e-mail could constitute going to the BOI.
If this is allowed to stay then it is open for all to do the same thing on the BOI.
