Seems a bit harsh doesn't it.
Not everybody is in bonsai for the same reason as you are. Some people want to be in it for the enjoyment of it all.
This is not a bonsai Boot Camp. And there are no drill sergeants here. A few people think they are but as you say they need a “reality check”
Maybe it is time to stop the DISCOURGAGENENT and get past giving REALITY checks. Lead (an teach) by example. Show and explain what is not only right or wrong but be able to explain why it is that way. That would be a refreshing thing. A constructive thing.
Might even keep some people interested in learning bonsai.
