My good friend Jamie Glass

Earlier today I read a thread where my good friend Jamie was taunted.

I did not start ths thread to discuss that ..but to comment on something that was said and I didn't get the chance to reply before the thread was locked.

It was said that Jamie is not an asset to this community.

but I have to disagree.

When I first started posting on bpnet I was actually offended by Jamie...on more than one occassion. :rolleyes: But the more I read of his posts the more I saw me..in him. It wasn't what he said yet how he said it. Jamie doesn't beat around the bush and play games. He is very direct. He tells it like it is and if it isn't all sunshine and butterflies...well then people don't want to hear it. I like that in a person. :gj:

also...Jamie has made many valuable post to help other members of this community ranging from basic husbandry to genetics and even has had at least 2 of his threads stickied. He has been a strong posting member of this community since 8/04.

Jamie is not just another member on this site to me . He is a real friend to me and I for one think he is a HUGE asset to this community. :D

Jamie has taken many phone calls from me at ALL hours of the day and night to help me with my snakes...and even somtimes with my life. :oops:

I wish there were more people out there like him.

love ya Jamies!!!

:blowkiss:

Very well stated MeME. I am new to the reptile world but have already saw way too much jealousy and bitterness. Life is short and everyone needs to make it a point to get along with others and help others when needed. I think people are willing to help until they see you catching up with them. I may never be an impact in this business but I will ALWAYS be willing to help anyone that needs it and will never downgrade anyone in this industry, no matter how I really feel about them.

+1

I've noticed that a lot of people have pretty thin skin, so to speak. Even if someone were to attack somebody here, after he had put aside his own ego and accepted the good advice given on here, which seems hard for a lot of these people who complain about things like this to do, grow up. It's the internet. But like you said, Meme, Jamie isn't someone who does this. He lays it out, without any sugar coating. Some people like Wes and Jasballs take this a half step further, but it doesn't make the advice they give wrong, or make them bullies. I had an issue with John giving me crap for things I said, in a true Jasballs fashion, but instead of getting mad and whining about it I gave it right back to him and we laughed about it. No big deal. Some people just need to relax their egos and get some thicker skin.

Memes... It is so hilarious you say that. I felt the same way initially as well... Like man.. Why is he being an ass. And then I was like LOL, he's so honest, he just isn't sugar-coatin it. And then I was like HOT! GMAIL ME! Thanks Meme. Sweet. <3

btw..I'm really not a tard.

:oops:

That thread was locked when I tried to post in it...now it isn't.

:weirdface

It's in the 'off topic' forum.

I think you have to pm an admin for access.

:oops:

*thanks Lew. ;)

It looks like I missed a lot of threads before I made my post. Maybe I should have left Wes' name out of this one. :D

I have to admit, Jamie has a tendency to rub me the wrong way, that being said, I think he's a huge asset to the community, and I've talked to him a few times in 8ball chat and when he's just shooting the breeze he definitely seems like the kind of guy I could hang out and have a few beers with. On the site sometimes we agree and sometimes we dont. Guess that's the way of things. Either way, for someone to say he's not an asset to the community shows that they're obviously not paying attention.

He is definitely an asset...he's helped me out multiple times :gj:

I am totally with Memes on this. I consider Jamie my friend. He never rubbed me the wrong way, because I thought his directness was quite humorous to me! I find it entertaining. I have met him in person, seen his collection, and I beleive he is a tremendous asset to this forum. He helps others from assisting tentative noobs to commenting on the babies produced by advanced keepers. I don't think this forum would be the same without him. He has the INTENTION to help people...and it shows. Unlike other :rolleyes: forum members who have NO intention of being helpful, but instead just trying to ruffle as many feathers as possible just to create an effect.....a bad one. And you can't really say too much about someone like that. Yes, there WILL be disagreements, as there always is. Nobody is wrong for disagreeing. But what is wrong is when someone has the intention just to try and bring good people down, and they themselves never have, and never will, intend to be helpful. And that is what this forum is about. Being there, interacting, and helping and supporting your fellow keepers out there, and acting as a guide for new keepers. And that is EXACTLY what Jamie does. Can't say the sme for others.Thanks Jamie for all your help.
We lubs you!!! :love:

Thank you to my friends and loved one for the support! No really, you guys all rock.

I have yet to see that side of Jamie's. :D

I'd like to keep it that way too, because as far as I know, he's a really good guy who is very helpful and a wonderful asset to this place.

Jamie is and always will be a community asset, just look at the rep you don't get that by mistake. Forget the haters Bro!! Keep doing what you do.

Thanks pal! I'll always remember the good times we had in Daytona. Wait, that didn't sound good. :rolleyes:

I think Jamie is a D-Bag...or is he.....

This is like a jasballs thread...I think Jason and Jamie are cool in my book, they speak their mind and help when they are needed, give it a rest

I know that Jamie guy.
He was and still is a big help whenever I need anything. He is a real asset to this internet community and the real world also!
