    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....

THE SNAKE PIT WAS BURGLARIZED *AGAIN* LAST NIGHT!!

Just for the record (not that it matters) If you go back a couple months to the thread about FATBOY AND HIS INBRED WIFE  you will see where Neil said "that he knew of my past record"...Another lie Neil? How many is that now ?

Tom,yes you are right I am sure that I have lost customers (people that I will never hear from) And I am sorry for that.Yes,I did not handle myself and this thread the proper way.But I am a Big believer in Karma (sp) I do think that the whole truth about Neil will surface soon and at that point (once everyone sees that I was telling the truth about him)That maybe you all will forgive me for the way I acted.

I am onto Neil because he speaks with a forked tongue.  I called him a liar and backed it up with quotes.

You called him a thief....Now prove it.  Or let this thread die already.



I thought this has died....but you just had to bring it back to the top with your stupid "what is going on" questions.  You seem to know what is going on.....why ask all of a sudden?

dave has been to my store a few times and yes i got 2 animals from him that came from the orlando show.but every time i turn around this b.s seems to be coming to my store door and i have had enough...i have a clean store and it does not smell.........i have decided that as of today i will not have anything to do with neil or dave till all this is over..when the pi report gets posted and i see the true facts then i will make up my mind if i want to deal with them but as of right now i dont want any dealings with either one....so for the last time please leave me out of this b.s....please no more visits to my store guys till you two can get this b.s straight.

If the major participants in this discussion can restrain themselves to ONLY posting messages with facts, figures, dates, times and other information that is verifiable, it would go a long way towards eventually getting closer to a complete and truthful picture of what is going on.  If you do not have facts that are provable, then most people will not consider them as facts anyway, so please just keep them to yourself.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

I see (2) times in those statements where Webslave even said "please".

This topic has already been locked down once. What, do you want it locked down again? Better yet, would you just rather have the entire BOI shut down? Will THAT finally make you happy?

Neil and Dave- I mean no disrespect to either of you. However......

Just shut up and keep your d@mn bickering to yourselves. And keep your soap opera to yourselves as well!!!

I am in no way personally involved in any of the occurrences in Tampa. The only thing I have to add is opinions. So I am now excusing myself from this thread. Until such time as when the report is posted or I deem it necessary to respond to a post directed at me.
 
OK, I'm getting weary of this.  I am not willing to shut the entire thread, but I will do the next best thing.

Whomever, no matter whom it is, calls anyone else by a derogatory or insulting name will be banned from posting on this site.  Period.  NO second chances.

Professionals can have disagreements and keep it on a professional level.  But what I am seeing here are children huffing and puffing at each other on the playground.  So if I have to act like the schoolmarm and smack someone across the knuckles with a ruler, then so be it.

I'm trying to stay neutral in this, but I have to respond as the moderator of this board to what I determine to be blatant abuse of the use of this forum.

This will be the ONLY warning I issue.

He has turned your post to make it sound as if you agree with him.Would you please correct this.If there is a problem with me I sure did not know of it .I know that no other shop owner to listen to Neil's B.S. but you they listen to.
 
Re: Orcutti Post June 17 2002,09:20

Thank you, John.  I sincerely I appreciate that post; the world could use more civility.  Truth is, I had to go back and search the thread; so many people have said or written so much worse to and about me (occuptional hazard) that I just took it as an expression of that freer variety of free speech that prevails on this board.  No offense taken.  BTW, my wife of 32 years is a student of British literature, and I am given to understand that Will Shakespeare consistently directed his attentions toward the ladies, not that it is any of my business what people do behind closed doors anyway.

I am open to correction, though, and would be interested in specific things about my style that bothered you.

Hi Webslave,

Just a quick question.

Will the PI report ever get posted? Or, should I just stop checking for it?

Thanks,

Scott....I have no problem if Rich wants to post that report....BUT....if you think "for one minute" that Tom's report is going to reveal the "truth"...man, are you sadly mistaken!! I have no clue what that report says, but, over the last couple of weeks, I've done my own little investigation of the Private Investigator that James hired....well, let's just put it this way....if it was left up to me, there is NO WAY I would have hired him!! If ANY of you want to...just call some of the "other" private investigators in the Tampa area, and just ask them what THEY think...you might be as amazed as I was!! ....nuff said ....Neil
 
Here is a fine example of how to ruin someones credibility so that whatever they say or type or write may not be believed.

Neil,

The quote to your own words in this same thread is exactly what I mean. You have been "hounding" Rich to post it to no avail. This is hard to understand at least for me.

Granted we might not learn the whole truth by reading the report. It will just be the PI interpretation of the "facts". But it is up to the readers to decide whether they believe it or not. It is not up to no one to cover-up any information when it is available. Let's leave that for totalitarian regimes.

Which is exactly what is happening right now Webslave.

Now, when Billy "X" posts that he has been taken for $100 by a certain individual we will probably tell him: ..."Son, forget it, we had dozens of people deceived by $1,500, we had the information at hand, and we did nothing about it". Your situation is not worth our time"...

Thanks again for the privilege of posting my honest opinions in this forum.

I fully expected people to get aggravated by my withholding Tom Crowley's report long before now, so I am surprised it has taken this long before the hate mail has begun.  This was fully expected, and something I knew I would have to put up with.

Regardless, I am handling this matter in the best way I know of, under the circumstances.  The report is still in a sealed envelope, and at this point there is no target date for when it will be opened and posted here.

You can either trust my judgement on how I am handling this or not.  Your choice.  I am fully prepared to take my lumps.

Please note that I will NOT divulge any more information about this situation than what has already been posted.  My refusal to respond with any more information is not because I am ignoring the complaints, but because it is in nearly everyone's best interests that I do NOT respond.

To those of you whom may disagree, I am sorry, but it doesn't change a thing with what I have to do.
