did I get ripped off?

[Big Gunns]

my 80% is NOT based on anything buy what I see. I have no idea who it is, what the motives are for the thread ... no idea who the poster is, but they are concerned and asking for people to chime in, so that is all I am doing.

I can't be 100% because of the pictures and because I am not you.

People that are new to the hobby have expectations and fears, sometimes some of those things need opinions and advice. If you ask me the poster did the right thing posting the pictures here and asking if he should be concerned. He didn't post the breeders name or say he WAS taken for a ride, but what he did do was ask a question .. in a place where there are a lot of people able and willing to help him with his questions. I would say that is better than taking the fear and anger he had to the breeder right away without having some assurance one way of the other.

I have been in the posters shoes, unsure about what you see. I have in the heat and fear of those moments posted stuff that was dumb, but it is all part of figuring out what is going on.

BG needs to take a step back and realize that not everyone is out for blood, that there are good people in this hobby ... but some are new to everything.

Chillax man.

Tool was waiting to pounce. He should have asked what people thought.....not say "did I get ripped off". Let me ask you a question Sammy my boy. How would you feel if you were the one that sold tool the snake? Big Gunns bets you'd be really pissed....and even more pissed if your name showed up in the thread like Big Gunns has seen many times before.

Big Gunns only has a problem with how he asked for help....not that he asked for it.
