LoreD, remember the thread Mischka posted about ANS passing away? Then kc posted about a Marine dying in Iraq. Well things, got talked about in the chat room, not on TV and lessee ... about 10 of them got banned from TV by M, because he didn't feel he was respected in chat. It wasn't TV chat at that time it had another name to protect his TV name. Damned petty and childish, if you ask me. For the record, I wasn't in chat that night, or I would have been banned too, I will challenge bullies and M was a bully. I do have the chat log and understand exactly what happened.
Alan's board was just starting up at the same time the TV bannings happened. Then the mess at IDig began, and while all that was going on M was banning folks from TV for what they said at TL, where he signed on under a pseudonym. The final straw for me was in Alan's thread on TV about being banned from IDig and M told em people were banned for repeated offenses on the TV forum. I wrote and told him to remove my membership. He lied - again.
If you look back in this thread a few pages, you will see kc and I explaining a little about it.
Suffice it to say, we are trying to make Tomatoland a place where it is permissible to have fun and try different things, not just listen and do what you are told. We want to be like this board where every level of gardener is welcome and feels free to contribute and ask questions w/o being insulted.

We're glad to have your board and over at TL, Alan. Nice relaxed places both with nice people that like to talk about gardening.
Remembered that the TVers did have a clue something was up but didn't realize it. M shut down the conversations board for a week and then added the veggies, flowers and such boards. That was the Monday after the Friday fireworks when they were all banned. There were six banned that Friday. Three banned for comments made on TL.
That's what happened in a nutshell. It's done. Can't change it. Move on and talk tomatoes and enjoy the company of people who found the Land of Misfit Toys as we like to call ourselves. I don't miss TV at all, and I certainly don't miss the superiority complex.

I forgot about TL. I've had a lot going on lately. I may have to get on the soapbox about it, but I'm trying to avoid burdening everyone else with it and have no time to type it out anyway. TV hasn't irritated me at all yet. Maybe M's decided to be less militant or maybe I just don't spend much time there? Oh well. All of you seem like good people and gardening forum butthurtedness is annoying, especially when it's the forum leaders getting all upset, so I'll just stick around here where I know it's relaxed and pleasant and pop in at all the other places, too.

Down,
I agree this is a good forum. The people are a kind of laid back and we are staying away from controversial subjects like politics and religion. Let's keep talking gardening.
Mike

You got that right - that damn shit Feldon actually accused little ol' me of begging for free seeds and then selling same! I have NEVER sold a seed in my life and don't intend to. I have traded a few. The asshole didn't even have the courtesy to answer a PM after I read that nonsense! I was banned from Tomatoville and then got reinstated. Big freaking woop! I got banned for asking Mischka why a friend of mine was banned....
Alan, you have a wonderful place here for all of us. Don't worry about the cursing - I can cuss in three languages, four if you count sign language. LOL

Cuss in three (four) languages - that's funny! I suppose I can, too. You should have heard my inner dialogue today at noon when the emergency test siren went off aimed right at my damn head, about 30 yards away... hmmm, I guess some of it was outer dialogue...
Thanks all for explaining the TV drama. The pieces fit together now.
I joined Tomatoland - it looks like a really good site.

Old Georgia Red, I sure wouldn't worry much about what Fooldumb at Twinkieville said about you ... no one pays any attention to that twerp. He's been gardening ... or what he calls gardening ... for two seasons. This summer will be his third season. His preceeding two seasons ended in total crop failure. He has Tylenol send him tomatoes from California, and buys store-bought tomatoes at H.E.B. just so he has something to take pictures of and save seeds from. In spite of all the crapola he manufactures in his vain attempts to appear so knowledgable, he doesn't know squat about gardening or tomatoes. It's all a smoke screen. Ignore whatever he said.

LoreD - yep the threads mysteriously disappeared after my unanswered PM.... Thanks, billpapavic! I may not be the smartest shovel in the shed, but I dig just as hard and deep as the rest of 'em! Been gardening for quite a few years - just wish I had paid a lot more attention to my Dad (a #1 farmer) way back when.... ;D

Old GA Redneck,
Did you sign up at TomatoLand as "oldgaredneck" or as "oneoldbear?"
If you signed up as "oldgaredneck," please register again because you were accidentally deleted when the administrator was processing your registration. Sorry, it just happened for some unknown reason. We want you there ::: smile :::
If you signed up as "oneoldbear," for some reason your email account bounced back and gave a "mail server permanently rejected" message, whatever that means. If you are not "oneoldbear," but know who he is ... please tell him his registration was attempted but for some reason his email server doesn't like TomatoLand!?! ::: shrug ::: The adminstrator is happy to try again.
Anyway ... if anyone has any problems getting registered at TomatoLand, please let JaliRancher, me, or someone else know asap so we can get you aboard.
Bill
