And you don't know that when you are so far behind, you should just give up. You are like someone running a marathon who is so far behind the pack that they actually believe they are way out in the lead because they haven't seen another runner in hours.
You want to re-write history. You said; "I was sort of joking when I posted to SCARHOLE to ask you what you think of subcool," well, yes your first message was directed at him, but your two follow up questions were directed at me and were clearly a baiting attempt on your part trying to get me to say something I am not going to say in an open forum here because as I have said it would start WWIII.
You say that I; "can't stop," but look how you, look at what you had to toss in now after several of us have said let's just let the thread die. You are incapable of letting go, you need to keep rehashing things and revising them and trying to rewrite history because said; "You were being an arrogant prick, just like you are so often and I called you on it." I wasn't being arrogant, but that did not stop you from calling me; "arrogant," and a; "prick" too boot. You are a real example of being arrogant! Evidently; "arrogant" to you is anyone who speaks bluntly, who calls a spade a spade, who does not candy coat and who does not dance to your tune and will not play the puppet on a string for you. If someone tells you something you do not want to read or know and they do so in plain simple straightforward English, you consider that to be; "arrogant" of them when any logical rational person would clearly see it for what it is, complete, total unvarnished honesty.
You said; "You had to go on saying shit like "Not what I think, what I know about subcool." What is it that you "know" about subcool?" Well lil' un, he and I have been on several boards together over the years and I saw him in action in his early years and while I will not start WWIII over it I will tell you that if people here witnessed things I witnessed Sub would not be seen as the beloved; "rockstar/businessman" that he has been described here as being.
You also said; "I'm guessing you either don't really "know" and instead just have an opinion about subcool and his genetics or you are simply a hater who likes to argue for argument's sake. So which is it?" The answer to that is neither. He is loved here by many and few here would accept the facts and most would totally freak out, so as I said, I am not going to start WWIII here. Deal with it because that is how things are and how things will remain.
You said; "You've caught more shit from more people in this thread (and it's like this in most threads you take part in)." I did catch a lot of flak, from a small select group of Dr. Greenthumb apologists. And as for your comment about it being the same; "in most threads," I take part in. That is another weak attempt on your part to create a totally false reality and to attempt to discredit me. Most threads I am in are not contentious threads like this one, most are not where a small group of trolls and flamers target me. That only happens occasionally and when it happens it is because the trolls and flamers simply do not want to read or know or learn the truth and they do not want others to either.
You also said; "I've only really caught shit from you and stonedmetalhead1" So, what is that supposed to mean or be proof of other than your little rat pack sewing circle sticks together like a pack of thieves and once one attacks someone so do the rest. Just because those of us telling the truth about Dr. Greenthumb's fake G13 were more civilized that does not mean you or your side was correct, that because we didn't all gang up on you personally the way you all ganged up on me does not mean what you said was received with more approval. I only had a small handful of people attacking me, but they were relentless about doing it, one was doing it over something totally unrelated to the thread or anything I said in the thread. What does that tell you about your rat pack other than you are all trolls and flamers?
To end the second of your two messages that I am combining and giving one response you said; "If I was baiting and trolling you I would've thought there would be more of your fan club sticking up for you. Where are all your groupies anyways?"
Well what do you think this is, junior high school or something? Do you think everyone belongs to some group of people they believe are cool and if one is attacked the rest rush to their aid, like your troll-filled flaming rat pack did with you? Do you believe this is some popularity site and the most popular person or people are given the most support and by getting the most support that in some way makes what they say right or makes their position the right position?
Your; "groupie" comment fits right in with +-rep and "likes," the things I detest and wish were never thought up because it is all teeny bopper bubble-gummer junior high school-like popularity bullshit and nothing more. I can see how and why you must love it considering your massive ego and your desperate need to have your little rat pack sewing circle watching your back.
I have no interest whatsoever in making friends here or anywhere online. Online is a fantasy world that does not in any way, shape or form crossover or even brush up against my real life. I belong to about five different growing sites right now but I spend most of my time here because by far there are more utterly lost, totally clueless members here than at any of the other sites, and a new busload of the lost and bewildered join every day, and I felt I could be of more help here. Not to make friends, but just to be able to help more people.
Unlike you I don't give a damn what anyone here thinks of me. Not one. These people are not really real to me. They are anonymous usernames from around the world and nothing that any or all of them could ever think of me or say about me could change my real life in even the slightest of ways. They are almost virtual nonentities to me.
If someone asks a question I can answer, I answer it. If I can help them in some way or ways, I do just that. The intelligent and reasonable ones listen and learn and the rest bitch, piss and moan because I do not share in the preaching of their inaccuracies. They take it personally, like a personal attack, when something I write proves them too be inaccurate, so they rant and rage and throw childish temper tantrums and attempt to be clever by doing things like calling me; "Shit Top" and the like, and they think they really put me in my place by doing so.
Well listen up sonny Jim, none of that stuff matters to me. I am here for a purpose and unlike many here it is to actually help rather than to pass on inaccurate bullshit that they are mostly parroting or are stupid enough to believe was learned through what they believe passes for actual research and actual viable experimentation or to be voted the king, or in your case, the queen of the RIU prom.
Most people here who give advice should only be touching their keyboards to scroll through threads and read and clicking their mouse to go to another thread and do the same because most advice given here is about as helpful and high quality of advice as telling someone who is trying to learn how to swim to fill their pockets with lead weights before diving into the deep end or diving off a pier into deep water.
It's no wonder many people on other growing sites laugh at this place and consider it a pre-school for growers, a growers Romper Room, or at best on the level of some community junior college's growing 101 course. So few people here know their assholes from their ear-hole when it comes to growing and many of the rest do not honestly want to learn from the few that actually know about growing and know about strains and know about breeders, and sadly they are totally content remaining ignorant when it comes to virtually everything grow related that is beyond whatever the 'flavor of the month strain' currently is.
At times I do find myself seriously questioning why I remain here. With little clown shoes like frmrboi and you and a number others who live to nip at my heels at times I have to eat a yard of shit for every one person I help, and at times it just does not seem worth it.
At times I wish the small number of members who actually know what they are talking about and are good honest straightforward people would all move on to some other site or sites and we could leave you and your kind to be the perfect example of the blind leading the blind and you could all wallow in the ignorance you love so dearly and hold so precious and bask in the glorious pleasure of knowing that there would never be any risk whatsoever of anyone ever saying anything that would prove you too be incorrect and in doing so bruise your fragile little ego and embarrass you in front of all your little girlfriends.
