    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....

What a pussy, no not his pooper until he meets Bubba, but not only can he not stand up and fix what he made wrong, he cannot even stand up for himself... it's the likes of him that should be culled.
 
Dan the Dead,
I don't expect you to read the entire thread. That Chris is on the threshold of actually being charged with a felony is because of the thousands of posts in this thread, the efforts coordinated by ideas hatched here, and the continued existence of this thread near the top of the BOI, as more folks heard of the group effort, came here, contacted people, and got their complaints lodged with the authorities. At times this thread was held up by only hot air. It took months of hot air and BS to even come close to bringing in enough people to file on-line affidavits and complaints to get the NY State Police to pursue the felony fraud charge, as they said they needed a minimum of ten such complaints. So if 500 more cracks about Chris's appearance brings in one more complaint ... Hell, make it 1000 and get two.

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.
Yes, I am more than free to have an opinion and I didn't look for support or agreement; I stated it and that's pretty much it. You are entirely correct that not everyone will agree; these things are part of the concept of freedom of speech.

My feelings weren't hurt, I didn't say he was a good guy, nor did I infer it; and I damn sure didn't suggest anyone change their opinion.

And no offense, Bobby; but if you have to start off every differing opinion with "Sorry" or apologize for the way you feel or think, maybe you're not really comfortable feeling or thinking that way? No reason to apologize; either feel it and mean it, or don't feel it and mean it.

Wes,
:nopity: .... still steamed, huh ? :reddevil: There weren't enough pictures there to make fun of? :ack2:

Huh?

I was wondering about the double standard you live by, that's all.

I don't recall being steamed in quite some time but thanks, I guess, for your concern.

I also have no clue what pictures you refer too.

How come you have such a hard on for chris but not for the nutjob broads in spokane, wendy and jean? Are not they theives? Are not they the same, to a lesser degree but really, what difference a few thousand dollars, is not a thief a thief?

Of course, I suppose since they are YOUR friends, jimbo, they should not be held to the same standards, the same criteria, as other theives. I also suppose that since they are your friends, they aren't really thieves at all. Are they jimbo?

Oh, I don't think there are many here that don't know exactly where I stand.

If I remember correctly, I was the one that called Chris a lying scum bag about his death bed. I caught a little slack for that one as well, until everyone found out he was a lying about the whole thing. What was it again? OH, he was at work!!

Yes, a spade is still a spade!! A scum bag scammer is still just that, a scum bag scammer. Thus the reason the coals will still be poured on his head. I do not see my opinion ending on that until he get that spot behind bars.
 
Wes,
You ask in every thread "why is it about you Jim?" and yet, here you are stuck on me again ! :rofl: Once again I thank you for the unexpected laughs ! The floor is yours ! Dance the night away ... or is it dancing fool ? Enjoy :cool:

jimbo, why you tellin lies now?

I have not asked why this is about you, not at all.

In fact I asked another question entirely, which, not surprisingly, you failed to answer at all.

WHY do you have a double standard? Why are your friends exempt from your crap? Is not a theif a their regardless of relationship? Your actions say that your, YOUR mind you, friends are not held to the same standards as others.

I'm curious about your double standard jimbo. You got mixed up because you so often make things about you that you think that's all we think about. It's not true. I wonder why you lie and manipulate and obscure and protect for a select few.

I have a hard time with that myself. I reckon it's just me though, striving for some sort of consistency.
 
This thread is about Chris Johnson..please remember this..there are many people following this thread so please take your bullshit to the pm section.
Thanks.
 
Ricky,
Well put, but Wes is not much for use of the PM section, and he is not worth my time their either. Wes is referring to another recent thread where he and I disagreed, and apparently still has much angst from it. No doubt it, and he, will continue to pop up.

If you followed this thread, then you already know of what follows. Chris Johnson is close to the very real possibility of being charged with criminal fraud. No small achievement for the reptile community, for I know of no other such instance, should it occur. Chris's participation in the thread dropped off after the first few hundred posts, but while he was here, there was no problem keeping the thread active. All progress made is the direct result of this thread and the posts that followed Chris's departure. That includes many days, if not weeks, of people postng here, often repeating themselves over and over, just to keep the topic alive once Chris exited, as more who had been wronged came forward. Several thousand dollars were raised as well, and countless people reached out to. At times the talk was antagonistic and malicious, and at other times petty and benign. With many small pissing contests throughout.

Wes is like the jester ....... a jack-in-the-box that pops up and momentarily catches everyone's attention, only to then be just as quickly ignored, as people return their attention to things that matter. He hasn't quite come to grips with that part of the reaction yet.

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.)

Why can he not "fight back"?? He has access to a computer. He CHOOSES not to come here. He CHOOSES to hide like the coward that he truly is. He's here reading....and he's "fought back" and fought back dirty plenty of times. Don't even give me the "kicking the poor defenseless" line. Perhaps some of us DO need to blow off steam after having our money taken, and getting royally :censored: ed over, maybe some of us are angry because friends got scammed, maybe some of us are upset because it has hurt the reptile community in general. Some are just hurt by his betrayal. Maybe THAT is the point.

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.

Have you actually READ this whole thread, or did ya just jump in anywhere and assume??? Do you have ANY idea how much time, effort, and money some of us have put into this????? If you think all anyone has done is sat on their :censored: behind the computer, you need to keep your mouth shut until you actually READ what some folks here have done.

Sometimes the best response is no response Jim. You know Wes isn't going to let that post go without a comment, and then you'll respond again, and on and on and on. The readers of this thread, and the others, are not dummies, they know who the antagonist is here. So posting after one of Wes's comments isn't necessary on your part.
 
Maybe so Kevin. But if I mentioned your name and thievery in the same sentence, and then stated either directly or through implication that you endorsed thievery if committed by your "friends", you might have a word or two to say about it? I don't invent accusations to besmirch Wes, as there is no need to. But give him a little poke when he comes off as Wes the Whitless, using my name once again ? Guilty as charged.

Keep in mind, that Chris is now 27. This picture is a little outdated but it should serve it's purpose. Now everyone can put a face to the name.

27 and has had multiple heart attacks? The way he talked about his health, I thought he was older than dirt.
 
Speaking of which ..

The validity of Chris's claim to having a heart condition was discussed at length earlier in the thread, for the many here who have not read all of the thread. Also discussed, to the consternation of some, was speculation as to what might explain Chris's complete disregard for others, even beyond the thievery, as well as his seeming ability to waste all that he stole, and other quirks. From one of the thousands of reports available on-line:

.....Heart problems are thought to be another side effect of long term cocaine use.
.......If given the chance, laboratory animals will dose themselves with cocaine until they die of heart failure.

Maybe the apple didn't fall too far from the tree ?

You are one to :censored: talk, how about shutting up and reading ALL of what I post, not just picking out one thing I say, and ignoring the rest.
