I just wanted to make a quick post while I still can.

I just wanted to say that I honestly came here with only good intentions to meet good folks and share pics and knowledge. I was welcomed at first but then I was attacked and insulted by wilomn. At first I ignored it just fine but the guy was relentless. Then the mods actually joined in. I admit that I could have handled the situation a LOT better and I should have just ignored the barbs and the insults and the provocations. I allowed them to get under my skin and I shouldn't have.

I don't expect to be allowed to stay here. I don't think I would want to if I could actually. But I would like one day to be able to find a forum with good people where I am welcomed. And not where I am viciously attacked and have lies told about me. I am not a bad guy and Wes never provided even a single shred of proof to back his claims that I am a Super Scammer of the Highest Sort". Simply because he can't because I have never wronged anybody.

I make no apologies to the people that were taking part in openly attacking me. I have no regrets there. I only apologize to the general population here that read these threads but took no part in that lynch mob childishly attacking me.

By the way, I also P.M.ed this message to Wes early on yesterday before things got way out of hand;

I just wanted to say a few things to you and hope that you bury your hostility towards me long enough to just consider what I'm saying with an open mind.

It's been a long time Wes. Why are you still so angry and still holding such a deep resentment of me? Don't you think it's time to bury the hatchet and just forget the past and move on? I do. I can forget it all if you can.

I just wanted to say that. All things being equal bud, I wish you the best in life. Really I do. I harbor no hard feelings for the past. I focus only on today and tomorrow and on making the future the best that I can.

Take care, whatever you decide to do.

I tried unsuccessfully to bury the past grudges and hostilities with him. I got a very negative response from him with no indication that he was willing to forget whatever it was he resented me in the past for. Some people just stay angry forever I guess.

Okay guys, I know that the mob will be here shortly to disect my post and try their best to make me look foolish or bad. It's just their way. Very childish, but oh well, what can you do?

Take care and Happy Herping

Y'all too Ben
