    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 Swanee's Exotics Nate Swanson

:rofl::rofl:ok things went astray from the message,he sent me trash and lied!!! anyway that's just my experience with the dealer ,say what u will think what u will ,im just telling my side of the story . im dealing with tards:rofl::rofl:

so you've bought from him in the past and had a bad expierence but then bought from him again but we're the "tards"... people like you deserve to get screwed :thumbsup:
 
I love how he assumes I'm a friend of his because I asked for proof that he CLAIMS he has.

I always thought it you have evidence and you are sure you are right, why delay posting your proof...just makes you seem less credible.
 
Here's a list of what we want before we can judge something to be in your favor:

1. Pictures of said dead animals
2. Necropsy of said dead animals
3. Proof that it came from Nate (receipts)
4. All email correspondences with Nate including attempted reconciliations.

Without that, why should we listen to you? You're only ruining YOUR OWN reputation by being this defensive about posting proof and outright rude to the people who ask for it. Innocent until proven guilty is still in effect as far as I know and if this were a court of law, they would rule in Nate's favor so far.

Agree that proof is needed for Davids transaction, but in just these threads alone there are several accounts of dead, sick, poorly packed animals. Given there are some who say there are good transactions, however past BOI posts speak for themselves. The top thread was, for the most part, Nates experience with Rich (AKA WebSlave).

It might be the case that he hasn't had a good history but we can't just jump to the conclusion that he (op) is right.

Even if someone has a history of say...stealing cars and someone accuses said person of stealing their car. You can't convict the accused on that particular case based off the fact that he has a history of stealing cars. You still need solid evidence in your favor regardless of the history of the accused. It only seems fair. :shrug01:

Understood innocent until proven guilty, however, are you going to buy a car from someone with a record of stealing cars and trust that it is clean? I am not trying to say that David is right, just trying to point at previous evidence and "convictions", which could be used against you in a court of law, hence the 3 strike rule. Prior convictions still count against you in a court of law, why not here? Is the BOI not a place that was established to help potential buyers of this great community make judgement calls on sellers/buyers/traders? I think this guy's three strikes are up. Lifetime sentence.:thumbsup:

I didn't imply (intentionally if that's what you in fact picked up from my previous post) that we should forget what he has previously done. Not at all. I'm just stating that there needs to be evidence for this particular accusation or it won't hold any water.

We can't just assume that because the accused has already been labeled a bad guy, the accuser is going to be right regardless of the fact that no evidence has been shown.

Would it be acceptable for me to pick a random "bad guy" on here, claim that I got a bunch of dead, parasite infested animals from them and not post any evidence? Of course not. But that's what the majority of people are going to think the OP did just to further drag Nate's name in the mud until some solid evidence is provided that shows otherwise. That's what I tried to illustrate in my example.

If he didn't want to post solid evidence, he could have commented on another thread about him instead of starting a new thread about him. I was always under the impression that starting a new "bad guy" thread was like starting a new "case" for the folks of the BOI to do their own investigating on a new transaction between a new victim and the bad guy in question, but I must have missed the memo where no evidence on a new thread (besides previous bad guy threads) flies. It hasn't been the case in the past so why should this one be special?
 
And, I just want to make this clear: Nate Swanson is in NO WAY on my buy/sell list. Far from it actually just because of his previous actions. BUT, that does not change where I stand on this particular thread.

Agreed, there needs to be proof. You can't just throw stuff up here and expect it to be believed. Word of mouth is not evidence. I completely understand your point here and it is correct.

Ok. glad to hear that. I am just trying to protect out of state buyers on here from making poor investments. Only trying to give info that I would want other people to give me.:)

Glad we got all the misconceptions out of the way. ^_^ I completely understand your position on not wanting other buyers to get reamed by this guy and appreciate your efforts. He is definitely a character. :rolleyes:

To the OP: please respond with evidence. I'm really beginning to question your motives and integrity by your 'pointing the finger' without proof and your overall abrasive nature. If you truly want to help people to avoid this guy, you need to hold up to your end of the bargain by providing proof. Thanks in advance! :D
 
ok i`ll try but it`s hard to show proof , i mostly want to warn people and not let some one else get ripped off .

let me start over i am a zoo keeper , which gives me access to alot of nice tools and a vet when i want . in no way would i use her name or the zoo ,you will just have to accept word of mouth , i was sent too cb skinks her finding were they were wc ,and kept on metal screen flooring, on one we extracted a really nasty what appeared to be some kind of tape worm that was under the skin in a boil or lump. i have it in a bottle im not educated like she is , i work in husbandry thats my job , for the most part , the other was a tree boa that was doa but had started to decompose , and some frogs that took many months to rehabilitate . so take it as you want . just didnt want nate to be forgotton and rip others off

Let us try this slowly... post some picture, receipts, emails... etc.
An account of what has transpired is not proof, which has no weight without evidence to back it up.

So, sorry if I am skeptical but you have not proven your case with me.

*Just so everyone is clear, I have never bought from Nate, nor do I ever plan to. I have read enough horror stories with PROOF, to dissuade me from sending money for garbage.*
 
sorry but i mostly want to warn people and not let some one else get ripped off .
i have to much work to do other than play on hear i dont care if u need proof i do not care if u believe or not my point was stated . sick reptiles !!! thanks for reading .

The point is if you weren't going to post proof, then you shouldn't have posted at all.

As it stands, you are looking like a bad guy also, with your baseless (meaning without proof) accusations and name calling.

That you don't care that I and every herper out there needs proof, shows that you are not trying to warn anyone, you just want to sling mud.

You have made it on to my DBST list and probably others here as well. :shootfoot
 
I am a bad guy, and all i wanted to do was sling mud , couldn't be happier to be on you friend list .
nice to meet you Melissa Wiley.
:iagree::rofl:
 
Seriously, you basically just called "the jury" a bunch of idiots in front of their faces. I don't think it is very good for your reputation/credibility to call the people you are trying to convince "tards" and continue to try to state your point. At that point you could have been stating something that was really important (which it is, and I agree that Nate is a bad guy), but because of your rude statements, it was disregarded and turned around on you.

And the hole gets deeper. You should have stopped while you were behind in the first place.

Is it just me, or is it like talking to a brick wall?

Agreed. There is no hope for this guy. He states that he is out to make Nate the bad guy, yet he is here insulting the people he is trying to convince. Great plan of action.:thumbsup:

It is sad, because we all know Nate is a bad guy. We just wanted some proof.
