Wes Pollock

[Dan Scolaro]

Wes: I do not know those people and I don't see any need to discuss your opinion of them on this thread. And with all due respect, please control your temper. Someone may get the idea that you will behave in this manner if you have a reptile dispute. I think it is best to see how the WebSlave answers the inquiry and I will retract my information if I am wrong. No problem.

 

[Dennis Hultman]

Michele: : Someone on a good guy post is implying that a person's suspension/warning points have nothing to do with his or her character as a seller, and has also implied that this information should not at all be placed on a good guy post. If it is indeed not important to the topic, I request that you remove it from the post. However if it is indeed important and within the rules and guidelines of the BOI, I respectfully request you permit it to remain to help potential customers be aware of this information.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

I also believe the accuser should be known about as well. Ever single thread that Dan has posted on has ended up being about Dan. That is the reason he was nicknamed "Sidetrack Dan". He now goes around accusing others of sidetracking the issues.

Even though I believe Dan not to be completely honest and he is continually dragging topics from another forum into the BOI, which should remain in that Hot Place.

QUOTE=Dennis Hultman] That you have a record of only three online purchases that Fauna knows about and you have accused two of the three of being master criminals

Has Wes had a transaction brought before the BOI that you have an opinion about? No.
Have you had a transaction brought before the BOI? Yes, your first two!!

I say people should have more cause to be warned about you.
Should I post that on your thread?[/QUOTE]

His response

QUOTE=Dan Scolaro]Dennis: Wrong again. Can you start handing out dimes every time you are wrong? Maybe it will teach you to think before your write. And I have had thousands (not hundreds) of reptile purchases and two people robbed me with dead and dying snakes. [/QUOTE]

Note this line in response to my post of him only having three online purchases.

My response

Really OK
QUOTE=Dan Scolaro]
And I do not plan to ship, sell, or receive any shipments of any reptiles. I have traded a few surplus snakes to friends, but that surmises it all. [/QUOTE]

I have never sold one single snake on a personal basis.

And I never was involved in the mail order sales at the professional level as my interests and dedication was only towards the healthcare of the reptiles by ensuring they received the most attention they deserve.

Some may have assumed or gathered that I am a reptile dealer partially from what was mentioned about my recent part-time employment. I am not a reptile dealer, never was a reptile dealer, and never will be a reptile dealer.

And I never shipped any reptile at the professional level.

As to the inferences made by some about the shipping of the snake: I have never shipped a single reptile to anyone before

I have also never received the shipment of any snake, much less venomous, prior to and following the transaction with Serpentboy.

Give me my dimes back!!

Dan, How can all these statements be true? You said I was wrong for saying

But just a few months ago you said

If you have never sold a snake and a few months ago you never planned to ship, sell receive any reptiles.

How can you tell me I was wrong?

Dan G. ..don't you think it would be easier to have a "Good Guy" thread and a "Bad Guy" thread for individuals..

Michele,

That's exactly my point, and something that was suggested long ago as a potential problem. This is not meant to be a criticism (as nothing is perfect) but it’s just the way I see it. Merging bad guy threads and posts into an existing “good guy thread title” takes those posts off the radar. Time and again some of those initial good guy threads are started by friends, and often at the request of a seller who has had problems in the past and needs to revamp his image.

Regards

[Dennis Hultman]

And I have had thousands (not hundreds) of reptile purchases and two people robbed me with dead and dying snakes. And if you do not think its important for the consumer to know the character behind the person he or she is buying from, then that is your lack of experience in life to deal with. And you don't think the guys who robbed me are master criminals? Then place an order with them.

As far as inquires and comments about carriers are concerned, I understand that there are several carriers available that offer services for overnight shipment and next-day delivery regardless of the toxicity of the reptile, so why interested people are commenting about this is irrelevant. I am no expert on the subject

Next day???
You have had thousands of transactions but you don't know that airlines are the only way to accept Venomous. You cannot see why people are upset about accepting venomous by UPS?????????

You have had thousands of transactions but only two people ripped you off.

I have never sold one single snake on a personal basis.

I have also never received the shipment of any snake, much less venomous, prior to and following the transaction with Serpentboy. And I do not plan to ship, sell, or receive any shipments of any reptiles. I have traded a few surplus snakes to friends, but that surmises it all.

Let’s see you do not plan to ship, sell, receive and this was your first transaction you say you had. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM


I see Dan, I must be wrong! Excuse me.

 

[South Dixie Dragons]

I rest my case.....Thanks Dennis

 

[Junkyard]

Dan, just because Wes has warning points for his remarks towards scumbags does not mean he has low character as a seller. It means he has a lot of character. I have seen his animals and I would not hesitate to buy from him, I have read a lot of his posts, I would rather buy from someone who will fight for the quality of animals than the garbage of others who fight for their ability to hide. But I guess this posting is pointless as you only see people through your own tunnel of sight and you cannot see the peripheral vision of reality.

 

[Dan Scolaro]

Dennis: You are wrong to sidetrack this thread about me and you are wrong with your false accusations. I have bought thousands of reptiles over 30 years. No bid deal. so what? I never planned to receive a venomous snake via UPS but some crook sent it to me and I reported it to Fish and Game and you know that? What is your point? Oh, I see your point. You are attacking me to defend you friend Wes. Like I said, do not sidetrack this thread. Thank you.

 

[The BoidSmith]

Did I understand Wes right?

How come people that have never dealt with someone can vote negatively against him on the BOI Good Guy Certification Forum? If those individuals cannot demonstrate they have conducted business with that seller those votes should be deleted. How will people give credence to the BOI Good Guy Certification if negative input is given out of retaliation and not because of actual business transactions?

I believe this issue was addressed on the Bill Leverton SCAMMER beware thread. I'll not post the link due to the size of that thread. Something to the effect that it is up to the discretion of the buyer to determine whose comments/voted are valid and whose aren't. If one researches the voters they would understand whre the negatives come from.

Yes, this makes for a lot of reading, but if you are spending a lot of money on valuable herps you should know about the person you are buying from.

Like you said it's not a perfect situation.

One must use several grains of salt instead of the traditional one when the "meat" so to speak, is of such rotten nature as my negative voters.

It's cool though, just consider the source.

 

[South Dixie Dragons]

That was my point Dan G. Dan S. had never had any dealings with Wes. He posted a thread that said "Isn't that the guy that keeps getting kicked off Fauna?" or something to that extent. He was simply trying to start some sh*t which is why I asked him to take it else where.
If you haven't already go back and look at some of the posts a couple of pages back and you will see the posts. Also if you have not already seen it go to the H*E*L*L* forum and you will see a whole tread on Dan S. ..read it if you haven't..it is quite entertaining..

I do believe the big difference Dan G. with Wes's negative votes compared to others is that other people have placed negatives for people that they have not done business that was based on facts provided in a thread that the person is a "Bad Guy". Example would be Bill L. The difference everyone bases their vote on actually transactions. Wes's negative votes are solely based on the fact they just don't like the way he posts. Which I think reflects poorly on them.

Dan, the problem is you cannot read! I initial posted that you only had three online purchases. Understand the word "ONLINE"

You called me a liar and posted you have had thousands.

I asked you to keep it in Hell. It does not belong here. You did not.
It is wrong for you to bring the issues you have with Wes in the Hell forum to the BOI. Is that plain for you?

 

[Neil Gubitz]

Well isn't this thread precious.... So, out of the 10,000+ registered members, ONLY 20 individual people (FOUR of which I still respect) have actually posted good things to say about you, Wes?? (not to mention Dan and I, which make it 22 separate people posting).... You must feel like King Chit now, huh??.... You ARE the best!!.... lmao

There are 2375 "views", and 94 "replies".... devide the 2375 by the 94 and you get a WHOLE 25 people.... Which means that ONLY the people that have posted on this thread, are actually READING IT!!....
And look at that.... they are the SAME people that post on EVERY thread EVERY day, good OR bad.... This would make for a GREAT orgy for you, Wes.... I can see why you feel SO PROUD of yourself.... Give yourself a pat on the back....

The funny thing is, when one of them said that Dan shouldn't post here because he's never had any dealings with you.... LMAO.... That's EXACTLY what YOU DO on EVERY THREAD THAT HAS EVER BEEN WRITTEN HERE!!.... and yes, including mine....

It's also funny how MY "reputation points" (which mean absolutely NOTHING in the REAL Reptile Community) continue to go up, now matter how many times YOU'VE given me BAD rep points.... that must really tick you off, huh??....

Now a question for YOU, Wes.... So, what you're telling ALL OF US, is that if YOU found out that one of YOUR "friends" did something ILLEGAL in the Reptile Industry AND SPENT TIME IN PRISON FOR IT, you would NEVER have anything to do with that person again??.... Is THAT what you're saying to us with your holier than thou morals and ethics??....

OK.... it's now time for the 20 of you to chime in and "QUOTE" every word in this post telling me what a bad boy I am.... LMAO

Neil

 

[Dan Scolaro]

Dennis: You are misleading again. You've known for years that I don't buy reptiles online, so who are you fooling with your pretending to not know? Your not a liar, you a bad fake when it comes to trying to pretend you are not aware of something. And what relevance does it have in this particular matter to provide a comprehensive report about a seller to the consumer? Like I said, I would be more than happy to have a telephone conversation with you. Either call me or restrain yourself from posting all this baloney.

my baloney has a first name, it's..........._______

Did your threads not have a transaction that was posted in order to obtain feedback about a bad deal?

Neil would not the difference be that Wes’s comments and everyone else’s had to do with an actual transaction, Regardless if they were part of the transaction or not.

I disagree with point that you must have had a transaction with someone in order to post, you could not help anyone if that were true.

The threads that you speak of were posted in order to obtain feedback about a person or to report a bad deal with someone. Those posts were made with the intention of receiving feedback from the BOI.

I may dislike several members of Fauna and disagree with everything they post. I will not run to BOI and post on their “GOOD Guy” thread just because I disagree with them. They must have at least some transaction to voice an opinion about.

Neil please help me out. I am trying to find one single thread that shows me to be cautious when dealing with Wes. You do not need to be apart of the circumstances. Anything?

The biggest difference Neil is Wes take issue with you over transactions you have had. You take issue with Wes over the way he posts his opioin.

It is not the same thing.
