View Full Version : We are leaving

I joined this forum mostly to watch out for my brother. I have been met with accusations and unecessary suspicion by members here. I have alerted my brother to the situation. He agrees the best move is just to remove ourselves from the forum.
We intended no harm or deception. Maybe now the forum can go about it's business without concerning itself with us.
Thanks for all the great info! It was a great experience we'll never forget.
Taylor says we were one person pretending to be two in order to get more free plants from other members. I checked with my brother and got the following information:
1. $60 to Archangel01 for a Pindo palm. He asked $20.
2. 1 free (shipping free too) blue java pup to Kaczercat.
3. 1 free (shipping free too) ruby siam mother plant to Kaczercat.
4. 1 free (shipping free too) 3 gallon Robert Young bamboo to Bob.
5. 1 free (shipping free too) 3-gallon Robert Young to Natedogg1026.
6. Recent shipment of Lipstick canna rhizomes to CValentine.
I, Sean, have never recieved nor given or sold any plants.
Sorry things couldn't work out. Goodbye.

Woah...seriously!? I strongly urge you to reconsider. You both are amazing guys and I think this site benefits from both your presences here. And I know you guys enjoy being here. Sure, drama happens...but that's life...you find drama everywhere. I'm sorry to hear about the 'accusations' and 'suspicions.' You know you both have my full support regardless of what you decide, but I just feel this is a bit drastic and unnecessary. Please stay!

Hey Greg. Eric will have to decide if he wants to stay or not. As far as I go, I'm history.
To the Adminstrator:
If Taylor has made an issue of this and his weird claims are accepted, I have no objections to being banned. I can't speak for Eric but I'm sure he will agree with this too.
New info: I just found out that Taylor has been pressuring Eric for our exact address. His strong motivations may be innocent but we don't know that. We follow NetSafe rules and cannot give our address out freely.
Taylor: No. Eric has been told Not to contact you on AIM.
New info: Eric has agreed to leave. He won't be back.

Just to explain this situation to anyone reading this who is confused (and for the record, I was absent for part of the situation)....basically a discussion came up in the chatroom suggesting that Eric and Sean are the same person with two screen-names. Honestly, I feel it was unfounded, immature and not based on any empirical evidence. There were a lot of harsh words spoken and unnecessary banter spouted from several individuals involved in the discussion. It seems like a joke taken way too far and people were hurt because of it (and apologies should be given, IMO).

I sure hope not. Some of Eric's posts and pics are my favorite. It would be awful to see him leave. I don't know his brother much but don't think he should allow other people's insensitive comments to run him off of this forum. You know the truth, so who really cares what others think anyway...
http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/8675-1.jpg
Please don't leave, Eric - you are a real treasure on this forum. It would be a drag to see you go...

Since the date and time are shown on the posts, you can see when this post was made.
This is the last post I will ever make here.
Thanx :) for a great summer and part of the winter, too. I've learned a lot about plants here.
If the administrator wants to use my space for a new member, he can.
Oh, and do whatever you want with my BananaBucks. I won't need them and Sean doesn't want them.
JUST DON'T GIVE THEM TO TAYLOR.
Taylor. You can click on my username, in blue, anytime you want to stick your nose up my "Find all posts by Eric" thing. This is the latest post you'll ever see. You can also go to members list and find out when I last visited (this morning).
Also, it will be a cold day in you-know-where before you ever get my home address or get your ugly hands on me.

Eric I am sorry to hear this news. I didn't know seaner was your brother and am not sure exactly what went on but think you should reconsider your leaving. Not sure why things have turned out this way and thought that we were both happy with our trades so I'm not sure why I was mentioned in seaners post.
Good luck my friend.

WoW
you know eric was a close friend to me and he sent me special gifts and cards along with being super generous about things.
i don't know if this brother thing is true or not,but i dont care because i know eric is a great person and friend.
Taylor should have no authority on whether eric should leave or not,i am not on this site as often these days because im busy but i will miss eric. i dont understand how eric could just stop being my friend, why should you stop being my friend because of other drama and conspireicy theories of others?
maybe eric never really existed,or maybe he did,but taylor may not exist,or he may exist,noone knows for sure,but honestly anyone posing as someone else on a website is nothing more than a liar. You cant just live your life deceiving other people when your actually not there friend or your actually an old guy looking for a thrill.
anyways ......thanks for leaving me confused
i wont ever share something like i shared with you to anyone else unless i know for sure they exist,keep safe however and remember that deceit will only cause pain,and pain causes death,death of friendship.

Wow what melodrama!!!!
LMAO This sounds like a 7th grade break up.
When you boys grow up come on back cause there's a lot of valuable info here.
In the mean time try to learn to take what you need or soak up the info you want and leave the rest. There will always be things that you don't like about any site. Also when you give something it is with NO expectation of returns. If you expect something in return it is a TRADE.

First and most important. Eric was just saying goodbye. If Taylor wants to start a war over it, he'll have to fight himself.
If I don't get banned, I am staying.
Bob: Eric thinks your one of the best guys on earth. He talks about you a lot and he really thinks he got the best end of the deals. I think he likes his Orinoco more than life itself!
Taylor accused us of being the same person JUST to get free plants. I can't figure out how that would work. Whatever. We both have more plants than we need and will be giving some away.
Brad: Eric wants to find a way to stay in touch with you. I'm sure he'll find a way. I don't think your friendship should end either.
Lonie: 7th grade breakup!? I didn't think it was that mature. We were just saying goodbye. Taylor started the Federal Case for it. He's already started a second thread. I hope he doesn't devote his whole life to it! :ha:
I expect a fair trade for plants.
Eric's like a little kid (emotionally). He just wants to give stuff away and be happy. I don't get that but that's Eric.

Guys this is silly, If you have a problem here with another member I understand. Why leave a great site because of that? Go to your user-cp
3rd from the bottem is 'buddy/ignore list' Adding any member there will remove them from your site. If you feel like this is something you must do Eric please contact me so we can stay in touch via email or aim or whatever!

Eric's asleep (he has the flu) but told me he def wants to keep in touch with his friends here. Anyone (except Taylor) who wants to keep in touch with him, can send him a message using my PM thing. I'll let him use my PM thing to send messages to his friends, too.
That should allow time for him to get together with his friends on AIM or other places on the Net.

Since nobody seems to want to end it, I'm sending a message to the Administrator to have him end it.
djmb74: Most flame wars are. They should be restricted to gay sites.
The best way to end something is to quit talking about it. I haven't been in chat since Taylor launched his flame war. I may never go there again. Chatroom - Die. As far as I'm concerned, the flame war is over.
I'll be spending the rest of the night playing Zelda on Nintendo wii. Other people will be reading about nanners and (hopefully) nobody will be doing flame wars.

THREAD DERAILMENT
Bob, we're all 3 super happy about the trades we made. You just can't beat 5 banana plants for 1 bamboo! I was told you grow Sikkimensis. I'm getting very interested in that one. I hear it's very cold-hardy. Are you growing it inside or overwintering outdoors? I'd like to try overwintering one here.
djmb74
12-13-2009, 07:37 PM
You know I don't know the whole situation about what happened but I find it kinda odd that Eric brought up a post about internet predators and in his message he said this happened to him and assured all of us that this did not happen here on this site and that he is so glad to have joined this site! Now he is accusing a member of this site?????
This is something I really didn't wanna talk about but, after what happened around the end of September, I decided I should.
This is the best site I've ever joined. I never have to worry about being harassed or threatened here and I've made a lot of really great friends. But it doesn't always seem to be that way at other places on the internet.
Sometime around the end of September, I met a guy in a chat thing (not this site) who seemed to be real friendly at first. We were talking about plants and he wanted to meet me. I told him I didn't even know him and couldn't give him my address or phone number. He got real nasty after that and I stopped the chat. I won't repeat some of the things he said but they Definitely didn't have to do with plants, for sure!
It makes me really happy to be at this site cause I know my friends, here, would never give anyone my personal info. Dad says he might use other tricks to try and find out where I live but I'm not scared. Even if he does find out, he'd still have to deal with dad, me, and the police! That guy may be mean, but dad can be even meaner!
I'm glad things like that never happen here :) ! But I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem & how they dealt with it.
Thanx for taking the time to listen :).

Nobody has been accused of that. Eric did have a prob, elsewhere on-line. Taylor pressured & intimidated Eric to get his home address. Maybe he just wanted to be invited to Sunday dinner. Who knows?
All hostile arguments get strange. If you're human, you know that. That is NOT the reason Eric left. He knows enough about plants now and has found other interests to persue.
This is a site about growing plants. If you're looking for an MTV reality show, try MTV.
Btw, since this is very childish, in your opinion, why are you and Conejov the only 2 members pushing the issue?

Actually, since my "Need help with Elephant Ear corms" thread was a total bust, I did all this just to get a hot-thread for a change.

My third thread will be "Need help with Orinoco corms, they're liars swearing they're twins!". That should get me a lot more advice on growing things!
I'll be taking Eric's advice and spend a lot more time off-line so I can grow plants. I might log-in, once in a while, to read up on the latest gossip here at FlameWars.org.
