If I may.....
Granted....it doesn't matter AT ALL ....because this is Pixel Land!
But you are human....so I care..
I have tried to understand you, I have stood up for you, I have been upset with you for foul attitude....
I have given Myself, chance after chance, to see you as righteous.....
Because I like to believe we all are....
But please, go back and read these threads, and quote the parts in it where poo pooing occured.
Quote the part where someone tore you down.
Then I will give myself one more chance to see you as righteous.
One....you will find these quotes, and I will help you understand why you are wrong.
Two.....you see for yourself that these instances did not exist.
Wow....I just read them all again, and beside Caddie, who you have insulted anyway, and may even be ignoring, no one has said anything negative.....
So Three.....you are addressing around 10 people that gave you honest great advice, with a response that replies to only the negative(for reason) persons comment?
Please.

Not going to get into an argument here with you or anyone else... you have stated your views, your opinion. I have read it and they are posted for all to read it, and they can draw their own views and conclusions from it.
Now, with this said, just because you have posted your views does not mean one has to follow it. Or, that one has to agree, or do what you suggest they do, do they?
I honestly cannot believe we are having this conversation... it is really kinda silly, right? I mean, you and some others have told me not to write a book, fine... but, what you seem to be missing was that I was not asking for your permission. With this thread, I merely asked a simple question... I will repeat it seeing you some how missed it... the question was, "Individual books dealing with the subject of art, yes or no". It's even in the Poll I posted at the beginning of the thread and the whole concept of the Thread.
How is this so hard?
Yes, I asked for opinions as well... dealing with what i hoped would be the subject at hand. I don't have a problem with differing views than mine, everyone is entitled to the views and I am cool with that. Some have said they don't think doing the individual books is a good idea, and I thank them for this view!
But, what up with the rest? I mean, first I have to hear how you think I possibly treated someone wrong. Then a speach about what to be completely honest I don't understand other than perhaps I have plants that might be dead, I might be selling plants, that might be dead, I should concentrate on what you think I should be doing, etc... and I have to get posts by Darlene , of which she repeated in my previous threads, of how I should not write a book, because there are already one's out there on the subject that are the cat's meow, as she put it, and how that book is respected by all of the senior folks in bonsai as being something of value... as if anything I or any one else say or suggest, would never, nor could never in the slightest be of value...
I mean, what gives? You don't think that anyone in my scenario might find all of this the slightest bit offensive?
I mean, I keep hearing about how all the trouble I get is all my fault... can anyone actually say here where I have done anything wrong? And why I cannot get the same respect that anyone would want for themselves? This is just silly? If you cannot honestly understand this than clearly something is wrong here.
As I said with my post, we need to stop telling folks what they can and cannot do, and instead if some one comes and posts a thread asking for advice, them saying they want to do something... we work together as a unit to try and help them accomplish what it is they are seeking to do... If all one is going to do is tear them down, then I for one as well as I am sure quite a few folks here would agree to as well... would say then perhaps you should use some self control and not post. Think people, you have a brain for a reason.
