I think the OP has a right to vent here, but I do agree that it would definitely be in the interest of the community for him to reveal the name. If he chooses not to reveal the name of the breeder, that's his choice - a risky one for his reputation and for the community, but not entirely unfounded.
Whether the name is revealed or not, a public complaint about a big breeder will not go unnoticed. OP, since you've already got some eyebrows raised, I would recommend just telling us. You have no reason not to since it appears you've already spoken to the breeder. People will question you even moreso if you refuse to give details about what happened because it detracts from the credibility of the report. I understand venting, and I'm sorry you had this bad experience... but now you've got everyone worried about their next purchase!
I personally hate going on the Fauna BOI (although it does do more good than bad) and the tactics people use to find out who-done-it. It gets so out of hand and becomes personal. In my opinion, it's better off to grab a bowl of popcorn than participate in those witchhunts. So I'm out!!
IMHO, this is kinda like when someone makes a status on Facebook that says "Ugh I'm miserable this was the worst day ever. But I don't want to talk about it, don't ask" or when a preteen girl says she likes a classmate but won't tell her friends who.
