I do not own mallsai. Thats pretty much my whole back yard. I try to keep my back yard more of a "show place" rather than a growing ground.
I don't brag. I just post what I do, talk about it, answer questions if asked and thats pretty much it. Much the same as I have done on the forums for over ten years. Yes if provoked I can punch, and I do. The difference is my body of work is much farther along than yours. Of course I started with better material than you have. I have no ego that says I have to have made it from scratch. I know I can and I have shown it along the way on a different forum. My expertise is different than yours. Hell my growing conditions are way different than yours. I could make your ficus indistingushible in less than a year here.
I'm not in a league of those like Walter, or Colin or Nick. But then neither are you, so just be one of the guys and get the stick out of your ass.
Al,
As usual, your post is insulting and pointless, you do brag, your expertise is different from mine, your trees are more advanced, all this is fact. But none of it has a damn thing to do with what I accomplish in the community, this is what you are always trying to tear down, this is what you are always attacking.....the story never changes...I am not qualified to write, I have no trees, my trees ain't good enough, I have no business in AoB or KoB, I shouldn't be published, I can't determine what is world class bonsai, in short I should just set back and let people that talk a lot and do little handle these things.
The fact is that even with my trees, my growing conditions, and the stock I choose to start with, I accomplish far more than most people ever will and certainly far more than you ever have, live with it. The most I have seen you contribute to the community (besides forum posts) is a slew of editorials posted on a forum which all had the same theme that can be summed up with the following words, I, I, I, me, me, me...hell, your name in the byline isn't enough to feed your ego, you have to put it in the title too.
Might I suggest taking the log out of your own ass before worrying about the stick in mine?
I have tried burying the hatchet with you on many occasions Al, but it was pointless, but
"I imagine that must be real painful for you considering you don't know your arse from a hole in the ground. (Think about it.)" (Line used on me by Carl Bergstrom once in a debate about pot prices, we have since become friends and founded AoB together)
Debating with you is pointless, as much as I have enjoyed seeing you stumble over yourself like a keystone cop in a mad rush to dive in whenever a Will bash starts , it honestly is a waste of my time. I learn nothing from it and it only serves to take my attention away from what's really important, growing trees and contributing to the growth of the art.
Oh, and it's "indistinguishable" Al.
Will
