i'm the one who took the pictures, with my camera, and my amateur skills. it was because i expected a backlash if i sent you pics directly from mike. o-ring and miguel- you guys have an open invitation to walk up to mike bae's house, straight from the man himself and you guys can take all the fancy pictures you like. in the mean time, don't you dare try to say i've set up some elaborate ruse.
here's some more directly from mike's mouth, er, keyboard?:
O-RING/picard/whatever: still can't substantiate the claim that i'm in talks trying to sell the pink lemonade to your "friend"? then just sit there and be quiet, because your word is about as good as dirt. seriously kid, anytime you're in la... let's have a very long talk about your issues with honesty, your passive aggressive tendencies and your utter inabilty to let things go without a dirty last word or sucker punch. i promise you, no, I SWEAR TO YOU, that you will walk away a remarkable change. you may even be able to finally join the human race. keep hope alive.
organism- don't you go and throw RC's user policy to shut mike up. i'm almost certain that you have VERY LITTLE clout here. my understanding is that you're lucky to even be here. didn't you just barely fly under the radar to avoid those sweeps when RC was booting price fixing/gouging micro sellers left and right? so are we to think that that makes YOU legit by some measure? and don't tell me you weren't hawking thos same "bleached" corals for MONTHS. cause i seen you do it. and with all your expertise, you're telling me that YOU DIDN't KNOW? wait, weren't you the same guy selling like 2 or 3 polyps of a pink micro on ebay for 800 bucks or more? your site and company was BUILT on selling these "bleached" micros... you think just because you've SOLD THEM ALL, aka "not selling them anymore" that that absolves you? if you think about it, you should also be nailing yourself to a cross, right after you assist these kind people in doing so to me. let me ask you- why so much love for the guy who screwed you so hard selling you thousands upon thousands of dollars in "bleached" micromussa? i mean he's practically got his hand in your bung and controlling you like a sock puppet. did he make things right for you? maybe he let you go in 50/50 on a few japanese or taiwanese shipments? get a spine man. i'm pretty familiar with the tactics. admit it, he's probably on the phone with you coaching you on what to say as you type this drivel up. in any case- FYI, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO PROBLEM WITH PERSONALLY REPORTING YOU TO FISH AND WILDLIFE and reporting your doings so that they keep a watchful eye on you and your tendency to import and sell smuggled livestock from illegal collecting zones (maybe even your special friend(s) hiding out in the shadows). don't play the moral card to carry out your dirty little agenda. it doesn't suit you.
done. really.
Mike Bae
btw- thanks to anyone speaking up on my behalf, a special thanks to microbubbles especially, mark, sang and john.
