AAAAAhahahahah ... mine would (have) been...get ready.... "Boomer Claire"...

PS/ and sorry, i just dived into this thread but its been long since I had a laugh like this. Thank you Fiona, Tony...ibc

Jun,

When I wrote that, you weren't in my mind but if the shoe fits... Check the earlier thread we had this conversation, you will know who I am referring to. Truth be told as much as we (not you and me) disagreed, I want him back and that is what I am trying to say. But I won't beg him to.

You should know I admire your work and no way I can match your trees...no matter how fast I try to "sprint" but my race is with my trees and myself...not against you or anyone else. As I said, lighten up. For someone who is always "fun"...you seem to be too serious on these recent events. If this is your family as you claimed, I challenge you to FIGHT for it (same to my other "friend")! You cannot win it back by hiding. That is what I am trying to do...I might be swimming against the current at times but someone's got to do it...even if I will become infamous for it (or the laughing stock when I am mistaken ). Your goal and mine are the same...though our means are different.

Your friend,
Dario

If I may add...

I hope people who email or PM you do it to help resolve the issue and not throw fuel to the fire. Let's break barriers not build new ones. If you are tired...by all means, rest.

Re: this "Some people who left, were just too piss off, but were too nice and civilized to answer back."...I believe it is the wrong attitude. Why let a snotty, newbie run you off? If he is mistaken, kick the sense out of him! (if you missed it...I am referring to ME and those like me or whoever pissed them off)

In bonsai analogy, what do you do when you see your trees being attacked by pests? Do you throw your hands up and leave it alone or help it out? Note that some who appear like pests might be actually friends (and vice versa).

Again, I hope you FIGHT for your family!!!

I hope people who email or PM

. . . remember the word PRIVATE in "Private Message." It is exceedingly poor manners and bad nettiquette when someone's message -- sent privately (perhaps to avoid these on-screen blatherings) -- is, in a fit of pique, trumpeted across the forum. It was rude in the 1970s when I started using e-mail and it still is rude today where e-mail has branched out in so many different ways.

Yes, IF it was sent with good manners also. Anyone start calling me names or bashing me through PM assuming that they can hide due to "nettiquette" will be disappointed. Call me having bad/poor manners but I won't tolerate it. To me, it is cyber bullying.

If you cannot say it out in the open, don't say it in a PM.

You must be working for the Dept of Defense (or something similar) to get email that early. I never got one until early 90's.

I'm going to write more later but the fact that your new signature says IBC's favorite stirrer and that you're recognizing that as the attitude that may have pushed others out....IS CYBER BULLYING. The newbies do and always have had a voice, but the more experienced win out. I'd much rather have Jun's contribution than 10 newbies.

I would too. That's the thing you have the choice who to listen to. They do not have to dictate for you or me not to talk.

I did not say it is the attitude that may have pushed others out...I said it could have been me not agreeing with what they want/said (or something like that). Very different things. Disagreeing is not bullying in my book.

Sigh. Why can't people just let one another be, and decide for themselves who the listen to, and who to ignore. Isn't there enough space on this forum for all?

anyone know of a cure for diarrhea of the mouth?

For educational purposes here is the result of a little research:

"Poink" - "technically awake but absolutely useless to anybody" Urban Dictionary.
"Poink" - Jumping on a poink will cause it to explode in a small puff of smoke. (see Super Mario)
"Poink" - The noise made by opening the seal on a jar - fairly pointless but satisfying to the one making the noise.

I must have missed a definition somewhere.

Just the kind of post I'd expect from someone who want to gag newbies. The quality of your work carries you above us already, you do not have to step on anyone to be higher.

Thank you.

Poink - What Dario's daughter at 1+ year old call a pig. Probably from pig + oink (sound a pig makes).

Of course - I should have known. Thank you.

Very clever and smart. Hats off to you.

Thank you.

[quote="Poink88" who want to gag newbies [/quote]

As I have stated to you over and over and you never bother to listen because you are too busy spewing crap..I am not interested in gagging anyone...I just find it offensive when someone offers "solutions" they have never tried or experienced themselves...that is not gagging anyone...that is just being considerate of others!!! and that is also my definition of an internet bonsai master...for which you qualify hands down:)

Congrats on your 1 year anniversary!!

now back to readonly:)

I am glad you decided to come back.

That is not what I recollect. Feel free to send me the post where you stated that to refresh my memory.

Thank you for the greetings, I will take whatever you give me (anything or any title at this stage is good...I even settled for the s**t stirrer! LOL) so I'll take it as a compliment.

IBC need you more than me...if I have to go silent for you and Jun to come back...I will (though against my will). A PM (which will remain private) will do as a gentleman's agreement. This is your chance and a magic pill to cure the dreaded "diarrhea of the mouth" and rid of me. I will/may, however continue to lurk and PM members.

I also reserve one final post/thread after getting the PM from you or Jun. You have a week to think this over.

Note: I did think this over and not just a spur of the moment decision.

Dario, I have on several occasions pleaded your case and taken your side because, on several occasions, your breath-of-fresh-air approach has been good for shaking us out of our complacency.

This is not one of those times.

Your last post there was juvenile and petulant in the equal measures. Please do not try to hold this forum and any of its members to ransom with your ridiculous threats.


This thread is not healthy.

Right On Fiona!... It is because of threads like this that folk 'leave' IBC!

Keep it civil, keep it friendly or keep it shut

Please be aware that "report an abuse" does not go to the moderators of this site. It goes direct to the Forum provider Forumotion in France. They will not do anything about the abuse report except perhaps shut down the IBC. Any violations of our terms of service, such as bad manners or lack of civility, should be reported directly to us moderators.

This matter has been dealt with and the thread locked.

Thank you
