The OP posted: So how do we clean up our act? By speaking out. From now on, when I encounter a remark that is truly mean spirited and not constructive, I'm going to call that person out for their abusive behavior and would encourage others to do the same. So the concept of self monitoring seems to be forwarded. So far I have seen no evidence of this behavior.

As long as you do so in a non-abusive behaviour.

I will say that a common flaw among people today is that we spend far too much time being offended.

Forgive me but I couldn't go through 21 pages of this.....
But did it ultimately end up being an April Fools joke???

After being on Bonsai Emire, where if your tree isn’t 100 years old and has a 5” trunk, it’s not a Bonsai, this site is the most informative and least insulting I’ve been on. On BE the same 2-3 guys give the same response. “That’s not Bonsai” or “put it on the ground for 10 years”

I apologize almighty leatherback. Not all responses were “that’s not Bonsai” or “put it in the ground for 10 years”. A lot were. That forum definitely isn’t for newbies. Check when I wrote that and look to see last time I posted on there. I think I’ve looked at that site 1 time since I found this one. After watching and reading the responses on that site more and more, then finding better sites like this one, I realized you can get good info without having to listen to condensceding pricks. But I’m glad you have enough time in your life to dig up shit I posted several months, or even over a year ago, to call me out.

Are we talking about Bonsai Empire? or is there something called Bonsai Emire? AND I cannot find a forum or discussion site, can someone provide a link.

Don't worry. I just wanted to understand your experience so I looked at your profile on BE. I was concerned you may have been chased off from the forum due to unjust responses by some of the members.
A few people on that forum have actually been trying to make the forum deal better with these basic questions. As I have been a member on 2 of the B.E. fora from very early on, leaving and returning upon request, I feel sort of responsible for part of what is going on. It does not help if a forum is flooded with -in some times of the year 10+ per day- posts of IKEA style ficus, dead s-shaped trees and seedlings. Not an excuse, but a reason for some of the direct and at times harsh responses.
