    Thanks for the advise..I joined this forum knowing full well I can't advertise on it, but rather just partake in some learning, sharing, and I was hoping friendly discussion as the header implies "friendliest online herp community".

    I didn't come on here acting like someone else or trying to be deceitful. I came on and said ..hey this is me..the guy from Fauna that is much hated and such...and I'm hoping if I interact in threads they won't constantly be flamed by harassment, but rather maybe civil conversation

    You're like a broken record.

    Why don't you stop talking and prove what you say?

    It will take a couple of years but the more your trap flaps the less like a good guy wrongly accused you look.

    Annnnnd...you don't consider that "deceitful?" You came here saying you were "hated" on Fauna.

    This is a LIE. Lying is DECEITFUL. You are not "hated" on Fauna, you are being WARNED about your advertising methods. I do not agree that name-calling is necessary..but that still does not imply "hate."

    Therefore, IMO, your introduction was intended (I could be wrong) to garner up sympathy. If you had come on here and just introduced yourself, without any other references..you could have had a clean sheet until you messed up HERE.

    btw: Your icon on Fauna is aimed at the very people you want to sell to..I do not call this good business to be insulting the people that are potential customers.

    BTW2: WELCOME!!

    Re: Personal Introduction from Chris at Rare Pythons

    Sounds like the complaints against you are quite valid, and as noted, you came here and brought up your past.

    Usually that is called trolling. Dredging up crap from other forums on new forums.

    I belong to forums on 3 continents, and I see the SAME names on each one. So best way to change your rep is to work on it. People have long memories on these sites, and rightfully so.

    If there is even a hint of 4-7 years on a wasted project. Which is 4-7 years that you were not investing in that same project elsewhere. I would be choked, and I would hope that others would warn me if there was even the remotest chance that I could be ripped off.

    Not everyone has the savvy to know this, and to know what to ask, what documentation is needed, and exactly how the genetics work. They see you as a breeder and an expert. That is a heady place to be, and you need to respect and honor that.

    I think people holding you accountable and not letting you off the hook is MORE than fair. You need to prove yourself to them, NOT the other way around.

    I do not follow Fauna, but I do the odd BOI search when I find a new breeder that I want to deal with. So I would have missed your saga had you not brought it up.

    So I guess thank you for that.

    The people (in my experience) that are the most intolerant of the misreprensation of animals and vague promises are those that have proven themselves, and keep in mind they know how the industry works (and it is a SMALL one). Some have been ripped off early on, to find out 4-5 years later they were sold fake hets. So nothing being lobbed at you is unjust or unfair.

    In addition, several of those showing prominently in this dialogue are people that I respect and whose words I take seriously. I do not need to read through the Fauna Dramatique to feel comfortable taking their synopsis as the truth.

    Seems this gem is back among us, using a different account and name. But I have a suspicion by looking at their site that nothing has changed.

    So wait... That's against TOS no? The whole multiple accounts for one person thing?
    Didn't the OP state he was not on here to advertise. Just to learn and be an active member of the herp community?
