LOL, you have a lot to learn. We have done something that nobody else has done before. We have created more buzz then anyone or anything else has done before in this community. And we have brought in more views upon this community the ever before. The fact you believe I am hurting my self is ignorant because you do not see the amount of people getting involved with my auctions. When people come to our site the representation of our community has been so bad that you do not see that it is hurting everyone in the community. The people that want to argue and make false accusations are making us all look bad as an industry. The problem with the ball python community is that everyone thinks they are an expert and they are entitled to what ever. They aren't and I really do not need the approval of you or anybody who thinks this way. Sorry but you all have already lost. Now I am going to do what I set off to do in the first place, and that is to make this community stronger. Whether you think so or not I can assure you that my opinions matter to me more then yours. Thanks

Here are three more emails from Marty Kersletter who says he has nothing to hide.

Marty Kerstetter
How have I hidden my identity? My name is Marty Kerstetter...same as my email...same as my screen name. same as everything I own. What I see is that the "community" is trying to shut down someone whom they dont control....trying to stop someone from selling snakes becuase it will drive down YOUR prices. Why would I, as a customer, buy from your for thousands when I coudl potentially get it from them for pennies on the dollar? Thats what this is really about. As you for knowing who I am....thats fine...I have nothing to hide from you or anyone

Marty Kerstetter
My facebook is what it is and my pic is what it is. I, unlike you and your community, dont demand people prove anything. Google my name and you can see who I am. What I do with my fb page is my business and what you do with your is yours.

Marty Kerstetter
I put down the people who are bashing a customer of mine. I put down the people that are acting like asses to a fellow snake seller. I put down people that dont respect others rights to sell snakes in whatever manner they see fit. My affiliation with Avi is programming only. What you infer or think about who I am or what I do is of no concern to me. The reptile community is no different from the bulldog community where there are the same type of cutthroat people, but that doenst stop me from programming bulldog websites. Not all breeders are like the ones bashing ballbids, and the ones who are give all breeder a black eye. So you should thank your fellow "community" members for tarnishing the whole community

I will leave it to you guys for what you think that means.
Was this presented in a email? I had one Of his fans start bashing me when I was brought into a argument and I said "starting fights within the community defending someone who you have little to no knowledge of him is doing nothing more then.hurting his business more then you are protecting it" but I summed that up in a much LAGER text bubble.. and according to someone I got bashed. Did anyone happen to see this? I accidentally deleted the message.. I'm just wondering did anyone see it?
