If a slug like Rusty Harris is a friend of yours then I'd hate to see your enemies.
Thank you for the perfect example of how these fights get started.
This guy has eight posts on this forum, all of them are attempts to incite. he has only one post that was over a sentence long, and he claims to be a psychologist (which he misspelled) by profession.
His posts show that he only jumps into threads to stir the pot and that he has not offered a single word worth reading to date.
Not even original.
This is how these fights
can be started, only if one chooses to respond(read
takes the bait).If a caged monkey slings his feces toward me at the zoo, I don't respond by crapping in my own hand and slinging mine back. I simply say "Dang", realizing the animal is just that, an animal. Further, I don't need to explain, to those that witnessed, that the monkey is an animal, they already know that, I just move on and enjoy the rest of the zoo.
Now for the analogy.
This forum is a zoo. Will, Chris ,KK, Pine Barren and others, are the caged monkeys. Their feces is their
opinionated posts, their willingness to continually post them is the slinging, their repeated attempts to discredit one another is like trying to explain to the witnesses that the monkey is an animal, their cage is the Internet and their own computers, and finally, not letting go of their disputes keep them from enjoying the rest of the zoo and what it has to offer. In essence, instead of
doing bonsai or
enjoying bonsai , they sling feces back and forth....."Dang", I say, as I move on and try to enjoy the rest of this forum. In the background I hear the splattering of a never ending feces slinging contest. How much better would everones bonsai be if they would simply say "dang" and go work on their trees?
My earlier response to Chris was not in defense of Will or anyone else. It was simply a drawn out "Dang" to maybe give some insight to Chris as to how someone hundreds of miles away may interpret his Internet persona. Sorry if it seemed harsh Chris, yet it is what it is.
I am not choosing sides here. This is not kindergarten, where if "you are his friend, you can't be mine", or high school, where the jocks "hang out here", the preps "hang out over there", and the nerds "can't hang out anywhere".
You all keep slinging your crap, I will say "Dang" ,while shaking my head. You may see me from time to time down in the tree forums , having civilized, educational, and occasionally witty discussions with folks I
actually know and am friends with, such as Martin Sweeney, John Geanangel, Bwanef, Ken Duncan, and some others . Feel free to join in. If I choose not to engage or respond, know this with confidence, I have ducked your slung feces, shook my head, said "Dang" and moved on.
