    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....

Steven Baker of SC Bad News!!! HELP

Hey herpstealinchicksc,

Why would I want to talk to you? We already know that you are filth! Everything that you say is a lie! you were involved with that theft and the dumping of those helpless animals.

Pay Chris back!

And just to humor us-tell us about your 'transaction' with scootsandscales-the nonexistant rescue from a non-existant place in Florida that for some reason posts from your computer. Enlighten us, please.
 
the handbook?????

:rofl: In law, defamation is the communication of a statement that makes a false claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may harm the reputation of an individual, business, product, group, government or nation. Most jurisdictions allow legal actions, civil and/or criminal, to deter various kinds of defamation and retaliate against criticism.

The common law origins of defamation lie in the torts of slander (harmful statement in a transitory form, especially speech) and libel (harmful statement in a fixed medium, especially writing but also a picture, sign, or electronic broadcast), each of which gives a common law right of action.

"Defamation" is the general term used internationally, and is used in this article where it is not necessary to distinguish between "slander" and "libel". Libel and slander both require publication. The fundamental distinction between libel and slander lies solely in the form in which the defamatory matter is published. If the offending material is published in some fleeting form, as by spoken words or sounds, sign language, gestures and the like, then this is slander. If it is published in more durable form, for example in written words, film, compact disc and the like, then it is considered libel.
 
common law info

Marriage license Laws in the state of South Carolina, here is what you need to bring with you, and what you need to know about the marriage laws before filling out the marriage license form.


In order to get married, you need to apply and receive a marriage license. This is the document in your state that allows you to officially tie the knot under the law. The rules for acquiring your marriage license varies from state to state, so you should check with your city's marriage bureau at your clerk of court's office to find out what your local rules are.

You'll typically need to apply for your marriage license at least one month before your wedding ceremony. You'll traditionally need to send in your birth certificates, tax information, and other official documents. You don't, however, want to apply for your marriage license too early. In some states, the licenses do expire, if you don't get married within a few months.

When you apply for your license, you'll not only need a proof of identification and age, but you'll need to apply for the certificate together, will need to provide any information about previous marriages, and will need to pay a nominal fee. You will also need to have a witness when you sign the application, so plan on bringing your maid of honor or best man with you. The bride will need to know what her married name will be before she signs the marriage certificate. You'll have to write that name on the application.

And, believe it or not, just because you have your marriage license sent to you in the mail does not mean you are officially married. You need to have a justice of the peace or a religious clergyman sign the document. On your wedding day, you'll give your chaplain your marriage license, then after the ceremony, he'll sign it and send it to the proper government agency for validation.

ID Requirement: Drivers License or certified birth certificate or passport and his or her Social Security number.

Residency Requirement: Do not have to be a resident of South Carolina.

If previously married: Bring certified copy of divorce decree
or a copy of deceased spouse's death certificate.

Application Requirement: Both parties to a marriage should appear in person to obtain the license.

Fees: $25 - cash or money order only. Couples who take a premarital counseling course "conducted by a health professional or an official representative of a religious institution" will be charged only $5 for a marriage license.

Waiting Period: No waiting period.

Blood Tests: Must have blood test within 30 days from a state approved laboratory.

Under 18: Parents must appear at the courthouse with the couple to sign a consent form. Minors must wait three days before the marriage license is valid.

Proxy Marriages: No. Both parties must be present.

Common Law Marriage: No.

Cousin Marriage: No.

Officiants: Ordained ministers of the gospel of any denomination who are at least 18 years of age may perform marriages. Ministers must file a copy of their credentials with the county clerk before performing marriages. Ministers must complete a certificate of marriage and return it to the clerk or judge who issued the marriage license.

So, this scootsandscales is not you, eh? The infallible IP test says that it is. I mean, if you were just a bit smarter you would at least have chosen an address that really exists! Do you still deny making that post???
You still haven't answered this. A good start would be to stop dodging questions.

Seems the personalities are combating each other here. Kind of odd how the posting from the "same person" differs from one post to the next. Or wait, wasn't there someone else who posted With The Typing Style Like This Within This Thread Already?
 
It does not matter if you were convicted or not, your name is now associated with thievery and cruelty. :NoNo: Google it and see what you find. (hint..Shannon+ Payne+ Reptiles)
I'm glad that you can cut and paste libel and slander definitions, but really does not apply to this post. In my opinion, simply 'being there' is not an excuse when animals are harmed. :angry: That is simply disgusting.
UN :censored: ACCEPTABLE!!!
Now, with the additional posting and identical IP address, we can add liar to your list of accomplishments.
Want to start to make it right? Set an example for that newborn baby of yours? Pay the money you owe, apologize for your (poor, pathetic) attempt to mislead us, (IP address) and take a lesson in humility.

The info was so screwed up they had my age wrong and also my middle name wrong, there was so much b/s tied up in that case from the people not knowing what was stolen to the value of stuff ,, insurance companys being lied too

Curious.......if you had no involvement, how do YOU know what was taken, and that insurance companies were lied to? :shrug01:

Maybe there wouldn't be so many people here "against you" if you hadn't lied multiple times already on this thread... are you still claiming "scootsandscales" is not you?
 
Shannon/Steve

Cathy, they cant help it. Ling, and Stealing just runs through the combined blood of Steve and Shannon. Shannon STOP Ling. Steve is with you, you work together, and heck I eve am willing to put some money on the fact that the kingsnake adds and the posts are partially done by STEVE himself. This could all end if you just admit your wrong doing, pay me and lee, and get this over with. You can not start over until you pay your "depts" as you and Steve say. Pay up, and admit the wrong doing in this thread and in business. No one here out of 20 or more people agree with annoying you have to say or believe any of the BS that you try to pass off. The only person that supported you was you posting from your own computer. How about you grow up pay me and Lee and maybe try to turn around this downed spiral :hot:
 
Typo

Those Ling, should read Lying. Sorry I ran over spell check a little quick. Also it should say I am even instead of I eve am. Sry still a little early for me lol :rofl:
 
Hi all, wanted to update everyone that is watching this post. Steve Baker and Shannon Payne have been spotted together AGAIN. This information came to me today via a phone call from a concerned local, that also wants to put these thieves out of business. They were spotted in the Wall Mart or some similar store in Summerville SC. They are together for sure. They were spotted together just yesterday, and I believe this just once again confirms the lies that Shannon has been peddling in addition to confirming they are selling animals together.
 
Hey Shannon! Did you know....

Did you know that Charleston County's Clerk of Court records are not only searchable by Defendant name but anyone who cares to, can see all the details of your multiple charges and counts, your multiple hearings, your pleadings, your dispositions and sentencing? Did you know that your birth date, height and weight, driver's license # and address (at that time) are all a matter of public record among those court documents?
Yeah, yeah...I know...they got your birthday wrong. Months of hearings and "they" never got it right. Months of hearings and your attorney never got it right. I guess they tried you in the wrong court too, since you were charged and tried as an adult. Since the court records of juveniles are sealed and are NOT public record, I suppose "they" screwed that up too, eh?
Face it..continual lying will get you nowhere.
 
Laura where did you find this stuff? I looked up the website: http://www.charlestoncounty.org and can't seem to find anything that leads to the court files. I know most states have them listed to the public (Maryland does) and I'm sure you know where they are since it seems as though you have found them and looked at them.
