I didn't go to iDig for a week after I had a meltdown over that jerk. And for the past few weeks, I've not read his posts. Until last night. Got riled; sent out 12 emails to members about it. Eleven agree with me, but of course, one of them (and one of the few who have received anything from him in the mail) says he's "only joking".
I used to love that site. But no more.

Blue - I chose not to complain to the admins over there, as nothing will come of it. He makes numerous sexual remarks on their "family forum", including referencing Marquis Magazine, which is a bondage/fetish 'zine, posting pictures of melons and inferring some prurient interest in it's resemblance to genitalia, (a la Georgia O'Keefe, I guess, since he's so high minded, right?) The guy is constantly trying to remind us of how very very wealthy and privileged he is... as do most people who have come late to the money scene, and are spending way beyond their means. He talks like every guy I've ever met who really still lives with his Mommy, fake tans (note the little eye circles in his avatar pic - that's either tanning bed goggles or make up, pathetic either way), buys knock off Gucci and drives a Gremlin which he refers to as "classic". All that BS about seed orders and memberships and fancy bio-intensive roof beds is talk. Mommy let him have the dirt patch between the next door neighbor's house and the garage, where the dog poos, and he's growing a measly melon or two.
As to the blow out with the morons at idig who don't post anywhere but in the politcal forum, there's no surprise there. Remember in grade school when there'd be a loud, dumb kid, and that kid had a bunch of even louder, dumber kids satelliting around him? And their actions were bullyish, and rarely had any relevance to the real world? And when loud, dumb kid number one finally was absent for a day or two, and all his little minions tried to join other groups of kids because they were lost and afraid? That's the group over there. The ringleader will not post for a few days, and the others will venture into other forums, trying to actually fit in, but then dumb kid number one comes back, and posts something political, and the satellites start talking about burning hippies, or whatever.
Oh, and I leave it to you lurkers to decide which loud dumb kid among you is the leader, and which are the sad little satellites....

You know, he's a problem, but when he was the only troublemaker, it wasn't SOO bad. Now that there are posters who do nothing but stir up compost tea, the whole thing stinks. I'm done with it until they clean it up.

Wow... I work too much. lol.
Let them lurk, as they don't have the balls to do anything else. Obviously if they did, they would already be posting here, but likely under an 'assumed' handle. Something that none of us would recognize. If'n they do get it in there head to start s**t here, they had better think twice about it.

Ohio:
I refer to them as the Christian Taliban. They don't realize how close they are to those whom they deride and despise over in the M.E. It's a "my god can beat up your god mentality" and they're worshiping the same deity, essentially. ::)I recommend the book: "Kingdom Coming" if you're interested in the fundamentalist movement at all. It's scary, but a really good read.
Lav:
You hit the nail on the head with every beautiful purple word you typed. Thank you for being so eloquent.

BlueLace What did I miss? I haven't been paying much attention to Idig and I must have missed something. I need an update. What did he say? It must be pretty bad. What confuses me about Idig is that the religious right over there goes ballistic over differing religious opinions but has no problem with blatant sexual posts. I remember when zman put a really dirty joke about "old wive's tails" and the only one who even mildly complained was creation groans. Everyone else just ignored it. LoreD

Lore, It's gone!! The entire post has been removed. But it was another crack about "professionals" when the topic was cellulose in the blood. I'm not a prude, but he just doesn't know when to shut up. I don't read the political or the religious stuff, unless someone specifically points a thread out to me

CreationGroans took a swipe at Zebra in "Does anyone have any experience growing Naranjilla" thread. Zebra gave an answer and Creation told him he was wrong and that only people who had actually grown Naranjilla should answer and not people who had only read it in a book. ;D
That put a smile on my face.

I missed that one... But it's not the first time he's been called out on that issue...

I just knew there were some kindred spirits here! Zebraman IS a complete jackass, not to mention he gives one of my favorite animals (the humble possum) a bad image....

If you would like to read something interesting on Idig go to the members site and look for Eric J. Lorenz, he only posted once. He had a post that was very Monsanto and I googled his name and found out who he really was. I urged Jere to ban him, delete his post, or put an explanation out about who he really was. Jere did nothing and I finally posted this man's background. Now, if you think Zebra was bad, Eric J. Lorenz makes Zman look as friendly as the possum. The thread is "re: Monsanto's man at the U.S. trade office" www.idigmygarden.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2526#post2526LoreD

Well. I did it. I did what I swore I'd never do.
I let Zman get under my skin. Man, I feel crappy.
I had posted about Wisteria being slow to bloom in a thread at idig, sharing some anecdotal info. Rather than go into the whole song and dance about it being anecdotal, I merely stated that "I have heard...", and a few other posters followed the same convention. Guess what Mr. Knowledgeable shot back with? And I quote: "Other people that know little or nothing,like yourselves?"
I couldn't help myself. I fired back with my sources and asked him if that was suitable, or did he "want to continue being insulting , with no grounds?"
Yeah, I know it's mild compared with other retorts to him, but I tried so hard for so long not to say ANYTHING that could possibly give him fuel, that I feel like an absolute failure!
What a worm!

I need an explanation, please.
Why do y'all keep playing over there. Life is two short to put up with that crap, which is why I left in the first place.
If everybody stopped posting over there, then only Z-man and his clones would be left. Maybe Jere would get the message, then. Or maybe not. But those clowns could have the site to do what they wanted, while the rest of us got on with real life.

I know what you're saying, and you're probably right. <sigh> But there's still a lot of potential there, and in my own blockheaded way, I just CAN'T let the Zebraman's of the world win like that! I refuse to let him and his ilk determine where I post. For the most part I can manage to keep from giving him satisfaction, but every now and again, I break. Besides, I'm not sure Jere would notice my absence anyway, so I might as well be heard. I don't expect this rambling to make sense, I just had to say it.
Thanks for listening!
