If he didn't realize that I intended that snake for breeding, I might have felt a LITTLE better about it. But we spoke on the phone, he knew good and well that the male "Ashy" was pivotal to a project we invested in rather thickly. We were in negotiations with him for the rest of them, (Normals het Cinder and sunkissed which were on "Sale" at half off for $450 a pair,) when he sold the rest of the snakes to Mark. Then a month of waiting before we find out from Kim that they are keeping that pair for themselves. This is understandable, but again, screws up the breeding plans. So he put the screws to us a lot larger than just that one male, in terms of the snakes we were buying specifically for that Cinder/Sunkissed project. (To be fair, the other snakes we DID get were nice.)
The icing on the cake was banning me for daring to object or think less of him for pulling the stunt -- in private emails.
Kathy and others pushed for him to be the first recipient of an award for his contributions to Corns in captivity. In retrospect, it seems appropriate to award him for finally leaving the business.
Rich is such a charming fellow that Dave, (who contributed over $100 to that award, as I recall,) was just banned too, for disagreeing with him. Nothing in his TOS agreement requires that he must like us, or us him. You'll notice that he doesn't remove our posts or pictures. He just makes it easy to talk trash about us, since we can't defend ourselves on his BOI.
Then again, he has been crumbing a guy for years now because he supposedly didn't pay Rich for some snakes. (I guess he doesn't like to be the one GETTING screwed in his deals.) But if we rely upon the BOI, where do we go to report Rich/Serpenco?
That's why I set up RepCheck.org. There should be an open forum where people can discuss and share experiences like this... even if it's a complaint against me. Both sides should be able to share their side of things if there's question or conflict, and everyone be able to go there and check on someone's reputation and dealings with others without fear of being banned or some other retribution. I can't stop him from banning people for speaking ill about him, but if the guy's pulling stuff like that, do you really WANT to be involved in supporting his for-profit forum?
RepCheck.org doesn't charge fees for participation, and it never will. You won't see us trying to guilt you into paying membership to it either. It costs less than $65 a year to host SEVERAL websites with my shared hosting account. (RepCheck is actually on a private server, faster yet.) I'd like you to go check it out, sign on, and participate. Let me know what you want. You'll always be free to speak your mind. Promise.
