JALI, You said, "OH! You mean like this? vbimageworks.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-839.html " I make note, with much amusement, that SUZE TOTALLY IGNORED your web link, LOLROF. Also, when you said, "Your sanctimony is so insufferable...it is really unattractive outside...that other place." May I be so bold as to make a slight correction. Her sactimony is unattractive ANYPLACE, not just outside of that other place,

I really couldn't give a rats rectum about being banned from a sight with such a poor reputation BUT I should have known better than to post a reply to a fruit cake full of bovine fecal matter HEHEHE, You may have not had problems before CFF but you will now ! You have disagreed with one the "MODS" at T'ville so you can bet your BLACKLISTED! BEWARE the dreaded white screen. PFFFFFTT!

I don't need to venture into the Sunni Triangle of Gardening, thank you. I'll just stay in the nice safe Green Zones. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Netiquette. That's funny. If SSE mods were concerned with that, then Zman would never have been able to log on there. Fact of the matter is, they know exactly who Alan is, and what he has here. FP is right - they could have edited the post, while still maintaining the thread, so that inquiring minds could explore further. The fact that the entire thread went away is silly, and I question the decision making skills there. Perhaps all mention of SSE should be banned on other forums. After all, they sell stuff, and they have a competing forum now. See how stupid that idea seems? Now turn it around, my dear, and you'll see where the decision was ill thought out.

I was white screened for a few days... I was told I wasn't banned, and now I can get on.

Wow, I really appreciate all the support guys, I too think it was a poor decision on the parts of the mods, this one was apparently decided by an actual SSE administrator from what I have seen, she is the one who has e-mailed me there, though who knows what goes on behind the scenes and I definetly have my doubts about the moderators there and at tomatoville. People can think I have ulterior motives all they want, and I'm not saying that Suze thinks I do, because I don't know that, the truth is If I didn't have anything productive to say though I wouldn't have even have bothered registering over there honestly. I am registered at tomatoville, tomatoland, Idig, Gardenweb, and a few other places and anybody that posts on those sites can tell you that with the exception of tomatoland I don't hardly ever post anywhere else because there are places where I don't feel that my information is valued and places where I would just 'rather read the info presented and go on about my day without having to wory about someone jumping on my case about B.S. Now maybe to Suze it did seem like improper ettiquete, but to me it was a matter of "hey look, SSE put up a forum and since we stand for something similar maybe we can work together". It's not like I went over there and said "Hey, screw SSE, this site sucks, come over to mine and buy a bunch of crap!". I just pointed out in my post that we have a site here that others might want to visit after they get done checking out the SSE forum, a site devoted to things other than just OP plants, I tried even in the post to set us off from what SSE does so that people would know that while we share similar interest with SSE we are more concentrated on plant breeding, trying new things, organic agriculture EXT. Obviously that wasn't enough to keep them from deleting that though. One thing I find really funny is that even though I havent seen Z-man post anything offensive over there yet, there he is lurking, waiting for a chance to do something stupid and yet I post something helpful and it gets deleted? Alan Bishop Never has Ulterior motives, If Alan Bishop is planing on doing something, wanting something done, or going to do something he will do it in the most straight forward F-you, In your face fashion that he can, trust me, that's just the way I am, anybody that was over on Idig when that crap went down knows that. Anyhow, I'm sort of over the SSE thing now, people who get curious enough about my postings will check out my profile and ultimately click on the link there and maybe in time, after the ignorance has subsided I can post a link over there for people to come and check us out, if not then all I can say is that SSE is providing a disservice to the gardening public in hiding and helping to hinder awarness of the knowledge on this site. All in all, it's just the EXACT SAME crap as what has happened to us before with every other site out there other than TOMATOLAND, where people are actually nice, the truth is I'm not too worried about it and unlike some sites this site will still remain un-editied, meaning that people can control themselves and links to other sites will not be prohibeted here, because that's childish and I have no desire to be a dictator. Anyhow, I'd like for us all to move on now, those of us on this site definetly have better things to do and talk about than the childish actions of other web-sites and that's what sets us apart from them! It wouldn't suprise me a bit if tomatoville banned you guys from posting there, Mishka has made it more than clear over there than any digression or disagreement with his policies ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET will get you banned from tomatoville. I would never treat you guys like that because that's childish, immature, and very dictator like. The thing that makes Mishka mad is he knows he can't boss you guys around over here because I won't let him and I'd flat out tell him where to go if he tried. The truth is that the folks on this web-site right here are the best damn group of folks on the gardening forums that exist on the internet today and I am glad to call each and everyone of you my friends and hope to keep it that way! You couldn't ask for a better bunch of friends! I love you all!

Landarc too, is concerned that Alan Bishop now refers to himself in the third person. Landarc is hoping Alan Bishop hasn't gone over to the dark side of egotistical self glorification.

Alan Bishop Never has Ulterior motives, ... Truer words were never spoken. ;D I hope you all know that I am saying that to rib Alan, and it is not meant to be derogatory in any way. Actually, Alan and I had an email exchange about that particular subject, and it is why I ventured over here after purposely avoiding HGG for months. NEWSFLASH: Alan and I don't agree on everything. NEWSFLASH 2: We respect each other's opinion and we act like adults about it. That's pretty easy and I think I've gained a friend in the process. I have to say, I was very active on iDig when Alan signed on and I witnessed the whole exchange over there. I didn't have a very high opinion of him after that. But, Johno and BLRH kept telling me to come over here and give him a second chance. It was some of the best advice I've taken in a long time. While we (all of us) may have different views on certain subjects (no, I do not want to discuss politics or religion, thank you very much), we all have a common love for gardening, farming, etc. That'll keep us chatting amicably for a very long time. As I've read more of the posts on this board, I've dramatically changed my opinion about Alan. He is well-versed on various agricultural topics, he's an extremely hard worker, his posts are interesting and thoughtful, he's generous ... wait, I'd better stop there or his stinking head will swell up so huge that he won't be able to get out the door of his house ... Bottom line: I like the mix of folks and the tenor of this board because nobody's pretending to be someone they aren't. You're all just being yourselves and it is refreshing. Alan, you don't have the TIME to be a dictator. You've got a business to build ... and a woman to marry ...

Sandbar and I had a nice talk and I'm really glad we did, theres no reason for most of the in-fighting that happens on gardening message boards and I often times believe that arguments are spurred on by those with little to no interest what so ever in gardening.
People on this board know I won't deal with it and I like that, they know how to behave themselves and they usually do a very good job, I've only seen a couple instances where people have been a bit "snippy" but those cases seem to be self moderating themselves and that's a plus, as long as that continuies all is well in my opinion.
You definetly gained a friend Sandbar and your a friend I'm glad to have! I like to consider everyone here my friend and I love sharing what little knowlede I have as well as my seeds and breeding experiments with everyone here!
I just want to take a second and thank everyone on this site for being adults and handling situations like adults and fostering a great community.
Anyhow, sorry I haven't been on much the past couple of days but I've had a horrible cold and have been spending a lot of time sleeping which is where I'm headed right now, thanks to everyone for keeping the board up and going and functional, I really do appreciate it.
I definetly appreciate all of you foks coming here to defend my position, you couldn't ask for a better bunch of friends.
Welp, goodnight all.....
