Honestly, I'm really, really happy that you spent zero time with your kids. First off, proves my initial thought of you being a piece of trash human both in life and on the internet, and secondly, saves your children from being around you. Even if for a few days, perhaps those hours will somehow mean they are less like you when they grow up. We can only hope. I will apologize to my fellow bp.netters, but not here. No reason to feed that already grotesque ego you have.

It's entertaining though I must say, to see what a rise you get out of trying to intentionally antagonize people. Troll on little man, troll on.:rolleyes:

It's really sad because this really does belong where it is in the forum, but if tempers keep rising I don't know if this thread with avoid finding it's way into QT. Which may of course be part of the plan here...

THATS YOUR PROBLEM.

Well, the first step is identifying the problem and we have identified it now. Your reputation means nothing to you.

I understand everything now.

And that sir, speaks volumes about your who you are as a seller, and as a member of this community. My point has just been proved - thank you.

Very true. I think I'll go play with my kids. They mean a hell of a lot more to me than this thread, that's for sure ;)

Goodnight all, happy herping!

Decensored: Oh, I see. You are somewhat under the brainwashed theory that you need a reputation to sell your ball pythons. Naw. Just advertisement them as john doe and someone will buy them.

The hole gets deeper.

Decensored: Well I am not sure which community you mean but someone out of the 2500 at least learned to not attack before the facts. And if it reached 1 out of 2500, then I did the community a service. And how do you know I am even a seller in the company? How do you know if I do or do not have helpers answering emails and responding to threads for me? How do you know that it was me who shipped a box to Neal? To sum it up - you don't really know do you.

That right there is why he's still in business. It's not repeat customers he has, no matter what he claims, it's newbs and first time buyers who see his cheap crap and buy it not knowing what they're in for. Sure, sometimes they get a deal, but often with mr. scalero they get crap then get crapped on, but being new they're afraid to take him on for fear of looking like a newb or as someone picking on a long time seller. They don't know that under is paper thin veil of stalwart salesmanship is nothing more than a self-gilded turd.

There are SO many new folks coming in to this hobby that there is always a ready supply of marks for him to shuck of their hard earned dollars. He counts on that. It's how he stays in business.

LOL, I don't care if you made a million dollars a year selling your reptiles, I would never trade my name for yours. Respect, admiration, and reputation in this community means everything to me because I actually care about the hobby. You are right though, I could still sell every animal I produce if I as a total jackass. But I am not one, and I take pride in that.

Unless one goes out on a limb and believes you when you have stated that you are a one man, and I use the term 'man' extremely lightly, operation. You do recall saying that don't you, mr. scalero? Or have the lies, once again, become too many to keep track of?

I have, however, gone through all your "customer feedback" and have found a few anomalies.

Multiple reposts of the same feedback was one issue.

The other, more serious one, was one person who was mentioned not once but 4 times on your feedback not only denies dealing with you flat out but stated it would have been illegal for him to have purchased the animals you claim to have sold him - and hasn't received a single shipment via the method you claim for well over a decade.

Therefore you have not only tried to fraudulently ride on the coat tails of his good reputation you have implicated that he has broken some very serious laws in the process. I hope he chooses to litigate personally.

I wonder how your sales figures will cope without a website to lie on?

Oh, and I am also good with computers, so feel free to send me the file Rabernet is having problems with to satanswombat at Gmail.com.

---

I know this is a futile question before I even ask it, but any response to Del's point above?

So now he's attacking our niche of the hobby, one he has little to no experience with, on our niche forum.

Seriously, if we all just walk away, he can go ahead and dig this hole to The Underworld on his own.

In case you haven't noticed I am not speaking about the incidents brought up at all. I have repeatedly stated that I haven't put that blame on you. I am referring to your attitude and how you've carried yourself throughout these 60 pages. And it doesn't matter if you have 1000 people working under you - it's your company and you're responsible for all aspects of it.

You taught us plenty.

Ava: What nitch is being attacked. What little experience? With ball pythons? I have sold dozens and dozens of em over the years and kept them as pets many years. Decensored: Sorry bud, but what makes you think you even have any right to judge me or anyone else for the matter? Right or wrong, who appointed you as a god or judge?

Decensored: Oh, I see, you filled out a membership form which took 2 seconds and that qualified and gave you the authority to make judgements over people you never met. Hey, I thought this wasm't the BOI?

Being a living human being gave everyone who has condemned you for your actions here.

LOL I never judged you - I am simply stating my opinion based on the information I have. Which I think is fair, no? I never resorted to name calling or attacking you. I have been professional and polite about most of what I said. If my opinion is making you feel judged then that speaks to the validity of everything I expressed here.

I can't be the only one sickened by this.
That single statement alone is enough for me to consign this individual to the trash heap of people that are just too skeevy to ever have any dealings with.
I love my animals and all, and my job other than being strenuous and dirty is pretty good too.
But, if any of you ever find me stating I have placed either of those ahead of children in importance please do not hesitate to call me out, kick my butt, whatever it takes to smarten up and get my priorities straight.
This thread has doubled in size since I left for work this morning and I can't see how this will enrich my life so, instead I'll good concentrate on more positive things.

In parting I want to thank Neal, treeboa and, DTS Herps for informing me of a seller I will never import from. I was unaware of the mess I could potentially get into dealing with Mr. Scolaro. And, while learning from my own mistakes is good, learning from others is even better. I'm sorry you guys had to have that experience in the 1st place but, must thank you for preventing me from learning the hard way.

:rolleyes:

Raven, if its enrichment you seek - find out why 2 guys woke from a 4 year stupor and blamed someone else for killing their snake and why a mob attacked without proof. If you ordered from me there would not be a mess and you might get a free reptile. And what mess? Cannot you see this treeboa and Neal work for the competition or are you daft?

Dan, if you want to make this a personal battle than I won't have anything to do with it. This isn't a you v.s. me thing - you don't have the debate skills to argue with me. I was giving you some solid advice, and some insight as to why you, the "victim," was being overwhelmed with the whole mob mentality condition. Words are our strongest weapons and there was a way for you to approach this tactfully, but instead of listening to what I had to say you tried to provoke me. Not going to work bud, I'm better than that.

Decensored: Sorry bud but I am twice your age and lived all across the world for many years and appreciate your help but did not know you were giving me advice.

Age has nothing to do with anything. Listening goes a long way in debate.

I feel that this DTS Herps guy is a bit butthurt over someone calling him out on bad business...

I'll say again, I am really happy to have stumbled upon this thread before even looking into DTS Herps for any type of animal. The accusations really have nothing to do with my decision to put you on a list of people to never even talk to, let alone do a business transaction. Weather you are selling a $12 frog, or a two headed unicorn, i see nothing but trouble in dealing with you. Everyone has basically wasted their time typing in this thread, but it has opened alot of eyes to the type of person you are. I happen to work 12 hr shifts, so this is actually a minute fraction of entertainment, i do other stuff more entertaining, like stare at the floor. I just like to break up the evening.

Borgy: thanks but heard that before and had to unblock many email address to allow loud mouths to buy from me as they got crapola from someone else.

DTS, you really are a scammer. You really do side step things and your ethics are.....well.....what ethics. You have proven that you have no ethics this entire thread by what you post. You are a narcissistic criminal mind.

DTS, go home you're drunk.

At the most this will get locked, I though will push to get it "stickied" to the top of the I/F.

Did you not realize this is the "Inquiries/Feedback" section AKA: good guy/bad guy area of BP.Net.
While I am thinking about it, you might need to start using the multiple quotes since you are padding your post count here a lot by not using the proper tools:cool:

Ethics is a touchy subject with the unethical.

Fitting.................

Pit: Does not matter if its plastered on every billboard across the world. Unless someone can provide a motive or reason why 2 guys woke from a 4 year stupor to moan over killing their snakes, then the entire thread means nothing to anyone. And yea, I know about ethics. I served as an ethics officer for the federal government.

Dude. They've told you the reasoning behind this thread many times over. Go back and re-read.

The federal government of the united states which provides folks with the rights that they are innocent until proven guilty. Not the one here where you are guilty until proven inoccent.

That's whats wrong with you.................... we already know our government is crooked :rofl::rofl::rofl:

You just never learned how to blow smoke while making people think they like it.

What reasoning? And you believe their excuses? LOL.

WOW Dan!! You sure do got an answer for everything!! And now your an ethics officer??? Seriously?? I just totally spit my pop out my nose when I read that!

Crooked more ways that one but at least you are not hanged before a fair trial by a jury of your peers.

- - - Updated - - -

Ronin, yea bud, was a corpsman too and sewed up about a thousands marines so don't knock me as I perhaps sewed you or your friend up before.

Wow I can't believe this is still going on. Someone that has nothing to hide wouldn't still be going on about this haha

WOW and now you were a corpsman? Really dude just stop! This thread is so full of your crap my sewer bill just doubled.

LOL alright this is getting to a point where I no longer want anything to do with it. Sorry folks, but I'm finished. I made my points and I need to walk away with my integrity.

Dan, I really do wish you the best - I know this hasn't changed anything for you and that's quite unfortunate because there was a lesson here.

Everyone else, we can beat this topic to death but it's just going to go in circles until the thread gets locked. There's enough information here for people to develop an educated opinion on Mr. Scolaro and DTS, and that really was the purpose of this thread.

Cheers.

Yep, Camp Lejune for eight years. Been there?

1000% agreed!

I vote to have this thread at least stickied at the top if not locked as well

Decensored: Walk away with integrity? Isn't the reason you came on was to knock me so you would feel better about yourself? That what 99 percent of the others did it for.

Ronin: I asked you a question. Were you at Lejeune?

All I have to day on the matter is Google DTS Herps on Google then Google a couple other breeders/keepers that sell frequently. There are positive reviews for him... but they are far outweighed by the negative one. the first one I clicked on was where someone ordered 3 red eye frogs from him or something they were delayed in shipping and 2 of them died, he said because it was the shippers fault he wouldn't replace the animals unless the customer paid for them again, but only at his cost... I always thought a live animal guarantee meant replacement of any deceased animals as long as the seller is immediately informed. The issue is not how Dan handles the good transactions, it is how he handles the mistakes that are made. I know plenty of companies that make mistakes, but it's only the ones that do the Right thing about it that I return to do service. One of the first rules of service/sales is if a person has a good experience with a company they will tell 1-2 people, but if they have a bad experience they will tell 10+ people. It is how the business deals with the problems that determines whether people have a good or bad experience. I have had problems with a bad product that was handled in such a way that I gave an overall good rating to the company for handling properly. I'm rambling now so I had better just hit submit.
