Nope. I see that my approach was a little off. I should have explained more. Such as my irritation with always being shut down. But in general? Telling people beforehand not to be snowflakes? It wasn’t wrong. People shouldn’t be snowflakes.
What’s the differences between the three? I’m not really trying to reach an audience either. I just want to be able to share my opinion in a civil and respectful manner without backlash from overly sensitive people.

Yeah. I could honestly probably use this. I’ll check into a book about rhetoric. I’ve been told I’m rather blunt sometimes. I don’t intend to be rude, but I don’t hold back either. When it comes to meaningful subjects, I speak my mind freely.This breakdown seems to be about as good as any other free source floating around online. There's more to it, but this will get you started.

Calling LGBTQ+ people pedophiles and going on a racist tirade is not civil and respectful. You can say what you want but there are still social consequences for your words. If you can't handle pushback for your disturbing remarks then maybe you need to find a racism safe space somewhere else.
I didn’t call LGBT pedophiles. I said it’s hypocritical not to include them. And it most certainly is. Pay closer attention to what I say.
When have I been racist?
That’s the snowflake mindset I’m talking about. It involves a victim mentality that isn’t based in reality. I never said you had to justify your existence. I actively support LGBT and promote acceptance. I am indeed LGBT myself, but I’m a practicing Christian. I’m just against the normalization agenda that’s being pushed by the activists. As well as the rather obvious to anyone with wisdom hypocrisy.Its frankly disappointing we have allowed this small, yet important thread so astray in the pursuit of trying to earnestly engage with an individual who has no desire to meaningfully interface in any way. Not that I blame any of you either, but I've come to the point in my life where I no longer see a compelling reason to justify my existence to the ignorant and self righteous. Quite the contrary, I demand the dignity that our nominally egalitarian society promises.
Do you guys have any big projects in mind for next year, exciting repotting or styling? Personally I'm looking forward to moving my Mume into a modest Mazan pot. I'm also planning to move my recently acquired 'Kuro' quince into a very queer gourd shaped pot by Bigei. And hopefully I'll be able to reduce the leggy roots of my Chinese quince down enough to work it into a Koyo, orange mokko pot that's been gathering dust. My Japanese Snowbell is probably ready for a pot too, but I don't have anything appropriate on hand currently
Building a new shed is taking up a lot of my time right now. Zone 5b we take our overwintering seriously. My temporary greenhouse got down to 16°F during a cold snap last year and I lost a pre-bonsai trident.Do you guys have any big projects in mind for next year, exciting repotting or styling?

I managed to catch some Pine Tussock Moth eggs on my Scots pine before they tore stuff up, so that was a big success on my end! I'm split between moving my exposed root black pine from a Wiscobonsai workshop about a year and a half ago (I think Kevin is in your club) into a proper pot and exposing the rest of the root mass this upcoming spring, or keeping it in the current container for another year and just taking a peek at how thing are going down below and working from there. On that note, I've actually been pretty strongly considering joining Milwaukee's club in addition to Madison's since it seems like the crowd is largely more serious about showing the fruits of their labor. I'm quite opportunistically placed between the two areas, so its not horribly inconvenient. But to get back to the relevant point, I deeply feel you in regards to the struggle for warmth in the winter, thankfully the detached garage is a blessing for my bonsai. Even if its not when it comes to me having to get into a cold car for several months of the year.
Thanks for the idea! Now I know what I'm making my sister for Christmas.
Ah yeah, Kevin is cool, he's in my study group. I was just at his house a few weeks ago.
Well you should come back and visit our bonsai collection before we close it up for the winter or next summer. I love working on these trees.
I'm lucky that my club has a lot of women and queer people. People I've known in my club for over 20 years are now out and bring their partners to events.
