Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

So I guess Neil violated it himself.
Anyway I instructed this person that Acopy went to
Florida bar Ass.
Tampa P.D.
AOL
All with a complaint attached,I told this person to Please have his client refrain from contacting me in any manner.
I gave him the name of my attorney and ask him to talk to her.
Oh,a side note Neil never told this person that he was saying (by e-mail and phone)that I was to be checked out and all.

Neil ALWAYS be honest with you "attorney".

welp...since you want to add my name on their for no reason....why don;t we add yours
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CHRIS OR ARNIE THOMPSON
 
Are there any honest dealers left in the Herp industry. From reading this thread you'd have to conclude that everyone was crooked. I don't know who's telling the truth but it sure is making our hobby look pretty shabby.

"One thing I didn't mention is that they, not only, busted all the glass tanks...but they also KILLED a couple of reptiles FOR NO GOOD REASON!! My HIGH-YELLOW Mali Uro was squished under a 55 gallon tank on the floor, and every water turtle baby, they actually STEPPED ON and KILLED!!

   This is what Neil wrote about the Dec. robbery. Was a police report filed on this robbery? Casey
 
Dont they have a TV show this would be good for ? maybe it can have all of them judges .. wopner , judy , etc ... and they can have it on the Jerry Springer show!
From what i have been eye scanning on this lately its become a "Mud slingin match"who said she said he said i said ...Dave  the reports you posted /had posted on the TPD actually facts  good jub but you hafta remember that not even police departments are saints .Meaning yeah i can see if something was lost , misplaced , thrown out ( the all who cares factor case)i can say unbiased that only one thing and one thing alone can really solve all of this back n forth bickering and thats  for one of you or a 3rd party come up with something stating WHO it was in PROOF  that did ANYTHING that would solve almost allquestions doubts thoughts anyone has .. but then you hafta think that maybe even then from all the back and forth that has gone on over this it makes both of you look bad no matter who is right in the end ... i mean ok Neil did time for weed ... so ?? ok but then yours was posted  i mean DUDE  intimadation of the elderly??? but hey your past is your PAST right  it only haunts you when someone has the will to do so so thats what both have acheived in doing bringing up things know one should have known about or probably made any swaying of minds either way till COLD HARD FACTS are tossed on the tableanyone heard the saying ... KILL EM WITH KINDNESS?
that would have been a rashionable approach on this whole entire thread if untill you have the proof be  nice dont flame and shout and raise hell with people that are given rights to ask questions .. well im not on sides as i really could carless what is proven at this point ...
 
Mr. Ritchie Luna
Arnie got nothing to do with my opinion.
and I believe that was quoted from last year I believe you wrote it first
Note to self...
For no reason This whole thing is a witch hunt.
And you always throwing some one to the wolves
 
Chris Thompson....
Judging from your list....I presume you dont want to do business with anyone who won't follow Neil blindly?

Sorry...but I was defending Neil  UNTIL his stories did not match up.

If you still want to follow him BLINDLY.....that is your perogative.

Do not worry Chris....When the reports get published....I guess your name will be up there in lights.....or should I say flushed down when the #### hits the fan.

Either that or you will change your tone.  You will end up adding your name to the "Oh OH did he lie to us?" list

A note to my friends....I will defend you till kingdom come...BUT when you start lying and your stories start to not add up...YOU KNOW what I will have to do.  Call me Judas...call me what you want....But I always try to take the side of the good.  I REFUSE TO AND WILL NOT FOLLOW YOU BLINDLY  That is what you can expect from me.  I expect the same of you
 
I have to agree with Chris-n-Arnie Thompson. It's a witch hunt at this point. Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and pointing fingers just for the fun of it. There is absolutely nothing that can be substantiated on this board. It's one man's word against another.
Ross Buskard
 
This whole thing pis*es me off.  Like we reptile people don’t have enough trouble with Dep. of Agriculture,  Fish and game and Animal rights…
Its the way you people go about things.  No one wates for proof  Just jump and accuse.
I rember when we were on here.  gitting strung up.  I talk to a lot of people that wont even give the BOI any creedence because of a few select posters and how they go about things.
 
Yup...I guess you can say it is a witch hunt.....if you want
But some of us are just trying to get some questions answered...
He is either refusing or is unable to answer them.
Ask yourself why?

Let me see.
JJ Jesse Underhill.  (deserved it)
Brian rogers Jr. & Sr.  (deserved it)
Matthew the big squeeze  (i just exposed his new name)
JJ Jesse underhill AGAIN
the dynamic duo.  (deserved it)
Troy of river something or other  (hiding a dead anaconda in his bathtub....deserved it) read the whole thread.

Who else?  did I actually fry someone who was innocent?
Could Neil be the first one?  Or could I be right?  AGAIN.

I can't wait until the PI report gets posted.
I can't wait till his Dad (Jay Gubitz) posts on here.

Put your hip waders on.....it is about to get deeper.
Choose your sides wisely
 
I donated a decent chunk of change to the Dec. robbery and the way it appears is everybody got robbed but nobody really understands who took who or lied in all cases of theft or whatever, if wanting the truth puts me on some rediculous list then so-be-it
so I don't think people want to hear some lies they want the truth
I have to AGREE with Ritchie  ya know...follow who???
A follower I am not , A loner I am
So now ...what's the truth?<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
 
I think in principal, this board is a good idea. And there are a few obvious case where it's obvious who the guilty party is. But for the most part there isn't any clear cut  idea of who's right and who's wrong. And that's where the trouble starts. People jump in with hearsay and half facts. And a lot of honest people get their names smeared by innuendo and half truths. I think anything read here should be taken with a grain of salt. It's to easy to hide behind a computer terminal and sling mud.

--------------
What kind of hobby did I get myself into?
where is the soap?  I need to wash my hands now.  "

To the Wolves... Your just plain mean.
Ya you have thrown a few to the wolves that deserved it but you reply in all the posts and your always mean
And I never done any business with Neil and don’t know him never talked to him.  Just don’t see any proof that he did anything.
I am willing to wait till something substantial is laid forth.  Not just twisting and turning  a bunch of crap  that means nothing.
None of this has anything to do with Me I just dont understand how friends could treat each other this way.
 
How do you know he did.  And something I was wondering about didn't the money that was donated get ripped off by another guy?  Just wondering?

Sorry sir..I do not reply in ALL the posts.  A good MAJORITY of them I let go by.  Gee you did not have any problems when I was defending you.....    
Yes it is true.  YOU do not see any proof that he did it.  But do not say that I am just twisting and turning a bunch of crap.
You do not know what I know..or maybe I do not know or maybe I am just pretending to know or maybe I am just full of crap.  We will see soon enough.  If I am right so be it.....But if I am wrong...I will take responsibility for my actions.



Neil so exactly how long did you stay in contact with James Thornton after the burglaries and donations?
No one else can get a hold of him...but you sure could...whoops did I just say that?
So how many times did you lie to the PI?   Enough times  to make him doubt your credibility....whoops did I just say that too?
Neil...did you call the PI telling him he has it all wrong?  That someone was playing him?
In your fathers own words...."Our son, Neil runs the store."
Note the word runs.....NOT owns.....whoops did I just write all that?
 
Im not a sir  Im at the least a mam
And just seems that every one jumped to the galos.  And nothing has been proven.  Maybe he is guilty but shouldent that be proven befor the hanging.
