Uh, Yeah, you're projecting --turning this into your own personal soapbox on an entirely unrelated issue.

Thx, that was what I was thinking. Especially when reading:

How is that NOT enforcing your believes?

See there you go again. If someone disagrees with Obama they are a racist, if someone disagrees with a discussion about homosexuality they are a homophobe, if one is a conservative you are a white middle-aged bigoted homophobe, misogynist, racist ass hole.
 
I cant decide whether this is funny in a sad way, or sad in a funny way...:( either way, this topic had all the makings of a great thread...or so I thought.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but the OP, or any other person that puts up a thread with the intention of sharing information or to evoke meaningful discussion, certainly deserves to same respect that was intended towards the readers....?

C'mon Dave! And everyone else that misread that!

Turning into a personal soapbox?
Unrelated?

All she talked about was Bonsai.
She said,

"Maybe I am projecting my feelings as a member of the LGBTQ minority,"

To give PERSPECTIVE of her side of the argument.....not as part of the argument.

Aha!

Sorce does have an opinion!

I finally found one.

Love has always been my opinion!

Oh....and understanding!;)

Life's to short to argue.....

Understand and move on....

There is great education in it.

Let alone peace.

My people are my people.....
My people...BREATH.

I ain't afraid of people that aren't trying to kill me!

Did you know that even if someone quotes a person you have on ignore you can't see the ignored persons post.

Like whoever this person Vance is replying to.
I have 3 on my ignoramus list. I'm guessing ignoramus no.2 Number 2!

While we are talking about de-gutterfying the site I would really like to see an end to the use of the "F" bomb around here. I think it diminishes the dignity of bonsai and the people that practice it.

Man I like you but that statement deservers this - Chill! Leave the "values" you have at home...

I understand your background - I was there too... It is now not then.

Yeah I can't see the fun in it...it's just sad !!!
The love for bonsai is what brings us together. What should be a happy and peaceful sharing celebration of a gift from nature, is being overshadowed by egos and worthless, unnecessary shite... Sad indeed :mad:

I WISH spring would arrive for you all, so I can start getting some valuable information again....;)

Come now, I have values...and it's nice when ones do watch what they type. I also understand that fowl language is just filler words for some. Sometimes it's a slip of the tongue. But, a bit more thought out when typed. I just skim over it and pass those filler words. I sometimes feel...it's their only way of expression. To each his own. But I do respect those who try and keep it clean.

That said...I do not like your cartoon. Because...yeah, I have morals...and so I must be one as well. o_O (After all, I liked his/Vance's comment by the way...the one that you quoted.) I'm very strongly opinionated on specific topics. As any can see if they read my responses here. I'm pretty laid back...but some things I feel if I don't stand up...and be a voice then those I disagree with...their words become my own. Be it my Irish coming out...or what you want to call it. I am who I am...

I consider Vance a friend...as I,you. This is insane how this thread is going. It's like a playground free for all.

Let's reel this in...and play nice. Don't make me go get Al and his PINK thongs! :p

It wasn't me that started this shitstorm. It was GroveKeeper in post #2 with his political agenda that should have been kept out of this thread entirely.

Political agenda? I've went and reread it twice. I've come across other threads with similar content. Fowl language yes...but not the only poster who uses it. That this one has felt the weight of the world on his/her back. Came across...I actually felt compassion for what they must have faced. Which had me overlooking the Fowl filler words.

Shoot I myself am happy saying...my backyard...my bonsai. Though I respect what past cultures have brought...this one's post mimic only what others have said in the past. Just with possibly more heated passion.

Similar words...just another thread...was my thought when reading it. With a bit colorful words tossed in. The colorful words had me pause...then I went on.

If you note my first response was not to quote this one...but another.
