    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....

Nice.. sooooooooooo.. opinions are OK as long as they are of the majority? And if they are not of the majority, the invitation is there to leave the thread.

I'll remember that next time.

No need to be so critical; I stated my opinion as others have stated theirs, wasn't offended.
 
My guess here, since I do not have the ability that many seem to posess, the ability to know what others think, is that she, Denise, was speaking of the BOI as a whole looking like a place where a mob hangs out because of the way the last few posts have been made.

It IS a gangbang no matter how you look at it. He sure seems guilty and he surely deserves it; however, the banging the ganging is giving him, looked at solely on its own, is not a very nice thing.

It's not like he's here to make it sport. You're just whizzing in the wind as far as he's concerned despite the fact that you personally may feel better for having joined in.

That's my guess anyway.

BTW, all of this was permissable with the tighter rules of just a little while back. No one sent you an email busting your chops "Hey, why aren't you making fun of Chris Johnson's looks" did they? So look again at your words which I highlighted in bold. Save your soapbox for a more intelligent and well-chosen time to use it. This ain't it. Maybe if folks start making fun of his unborn children, you'll have a point.

LOL.. soapbox, eh? I am just as free to post on this thread as you are. You didn't need an invitation and I don't either. I never insulted the thread or its information and I have no desire to leave; why on earth is that usually a first reply to someone who doesn't agree with the masses?

For the sake of keeping on topic and waiting for more happenings, I'll quit posting on this subject, though.
 
I see things from both point of views, although it's nice to blow off some steam about him this thread has gotting out of hand, a bit.

I can see if the people who got scamed did this, to blow off some steam... but seriously WTF did he do to half of you? let by gones be by gones and be the bigger person, and he will get what he deserves.

Yes I do realise that the post I made about him looking like my ex girlfriend may have sounded mean, and I am sure it was but it was the truth and thats where I had ended it.
 
I also agree that it is funny as hell, and I am not demanding any of you to stop because it is amusing, but more so suggesting that it maybe better to stop?

I know I just contradicted myself, but Yeah!

You are more than free to have a opinion. But don't look for much support from to many here. Everyone has an opinion, that does not mean we will agree.

Chris Johnson is real close to getting what he deserves. I hope it is even more than any of us ever thought possible.

Sorry, if calling a scum bag a scum bag hurts your feelings, but it is exactly that. I am not in the habit of calling a scammer a good guy, nor do I intend to start now.
 
It's a mob, there is no thought to it.

There is a wounded or freshly dead carcass and it must be pooped on and peed on and the fact that it can't do anything about it encourages those who would not normally say such things to become rather trite and trivial.

The ones who see past the mob, see to what it represents, they don't participate, or keep such participation as is necessary, to a minimum.

Watch and see the patterns. Who is most involved in kicking a guy when he's down and how many of them are seen in groups almost always? Interesting stuff.

bobby, you can't be serious. Do you REALLY think anyone has even remotely come close to asking you to do any such thing?

Really?

If so, I'm sorely disappointed.
 
Denise,
And your reaction if scammed for thousands will be?

There's a difference between expressing a differing opinion and criticizing the opinions of others.

Chuck, I think its man-breast envy. Good call BTW.

Dan, when a piece of scum like Chris did what he done, it affects us all. He hurt this hobby that many of us love so well.

I will not cut him any slack at all. Thats my feelings on the matter. He has brought a dark cloud over everyone that are selling hets now, or even in the future. He also hurt all sellers in one way or the other. Yes, his actions affected many of us. Not just the ones that got caught in his trap of lies, scamming and deceit.

Yes there is, most assuredly in fact. Do you know of them or are you merely parroting what you've heard elsewhere because it seems to me you are acting exactly what you are critisizing.

Of course, that's just me and my somewhat literal interpretation. I suppose you didn't really mean exactly what you said, or did you?
 
Wes, although I do find this to be funny as hell, I do agree with you on this 100% its not so much that they are saying this, it's more so that they have nothing better to do than attack someone of which cannot fight back (though he does deserve it, I just dont get the point.)

if it makes anyone feel any better go ahead as it is amusing to see, but just ask yourself these two questions.

1. his reputation was shot to shit, so what purpose does this serve.

2. wheres the logic in wasting time sitting back and posting this, while that girly man is laughing all the way to the bank with alot of peoples hard earned money.

If you people are so pissed, do something about it not sitting here hiding behind the computer, when he's not likely to be affected by the insults.

Brace yourself. He stole from our friends, our neighbors, and from the hobby. He stole time and energy. He made people cynical. And he pissed on them. I guess in the neighborhood where you live, if only half the people are robbed, only that half should be offended?

When you say it like that, it does make alot of sence.
and yes in a way I suppose that he did hurt alot of the legit sellers on here.

notice how I did say LEGIT, thats because the scammers will always evolve, it's the honest ones that stay the same and share the passion for the hobby the same or stronger than it started out to be.

In MY neighborhood, only half would have the RIGHT to what you abuse jimbo.

My reaction is anger just like many others' here. I have been 'scammed for thousands,' many thousands and more. No, not by Chris, and it isn't really relevant to this thread; I only answered because you asked. Somehow I'm thinking the judge and those investigating would see me as another whiner if I were to resort to the same kinds of remarks, though.

And like you are so apt to point out, Jim, if my opinions make you feel like you've been criticized, it's not really my issue but yours.

No your right about this, I just did not think about it this way hence why I had asked.

Dan we have, we raised a fair amount of money to get a lawyer to fight back. I know we raised over 1,000.00, but I don't remember the exact figure.
 
Can't defend himself here??? Last I looked Chris was still a member of this forum and can come here and reply any time he likes.. He was here earlier in the thread but when it was discovered just what he'd done to the poor pooch he didn't walk he ran away.Randy
 
I'm curious jimbo, do you do this for all your friends?

What about those nutjob broads up in spokane? Didn't they, aren't they, in the process of ripping of a friend of the reptile community?

What are you doing to help him? What are you doing to denigrate those nutjob broads.

Where is your consistency?
