No Kind regards here. For a change you have spoken the truth.
I know that there is a penalty for my following words but I really cant stand it any more.
You may not be a teacher but some on this list are. They do so by trying to answer questions. Sometimes they fail but at least they try. Most of the time they do a pretty good job.
You my friend are here to create controversy. To suit your own agenda.
Some will think this is a personal vendetta but it is not. It is just a cry from the dark for you to stop and think. You are doing a great disservice to yourself.
I personally think that you know a great deal about bonsai. Problem is that you also know how to turn off those that you are trying to enlighten. Not a good thing.
Tell you what. If you know so much why don't you get a couple of trees together. Throw in an audience. I'll fly to Dallas on my own dime. We will go head to head on the stage and see who knows the most.
I challenged my instructors. Made them explain their thought processes. According to your criteria I was a bad student. You should beat me easily.
How about it. You game.
Sorry to the rest of you for my outburst. I just could not stand the posturing anymore.
The baqll is in your court Andy.
Damn and I thought this might be a nice thread ;o(
