Default Re: Rant

Joe Real showed me a link to this place from the Citrus Forum in '06 & I just read a lot here. I did not know what the "thanks" meant at the time. I posted a couple questions then...knowing nothing about growing nanas. I never found the "New member" forum, so I didn't post there. Yes, believe it or not, I was shy about posting. I read more than I posted as many ppl do. But, i do know that when I did post a guestion, & someone posted a long explanation of whatever, & I didn't understand, WTF - I stayed away for awhile.
I found that the ppl who know the most info, & gave the best explanations...like Joe Real, Tog (so sorry he's not here anymore), Chong, Gabe, & a few others, give the most info & in a way that won't scare ppl away , as was done to me before.
I think that if someone doesn't have an answer, it's best they don't reply at all with false info - which has been done here - &to me.
I learned alot here just by reading.

I don't think that Paul meant to offend anyone, just to spur more folks to contribute. Thanks to everyone for their comments on this topic thus far.

maybe i should say a word or two about were I'm coming from. first off no one should feel specifically that my thread is pointed directly to them or any one for that fact. maybe I'm being mean i don't know for sure. iv been a member here for some time. only a few people ever comment on my threads. mostly i just tell people what I'm up to. i don't ask that many question because i read the other members threads and get most of my answers from them. however i live out in the desert south west in Las Vegas. theirs not many Banana growers here only a few. i feel some what isolated here. I'm originally from the Kansas City area as such i like community spirit I'm Midwestern to the core. i love people and i want to communicate and have others communicate with me. recently my Dog died now for most of you thats probably not a big deal. but for me its been a devastating experience. again i feel isolated so maybe I'm guilty of wanting more from people then they can give. i need this contact its important to belong some were. i love gardening and i like the kind of people that garden so the org is a natural for me. so when i post thread and i see that in one case over 1200 people have looked at my thread and only 4 ever cared to comment. that makes me feel like I'm either nuts people are laughing at me or don't feel what we are discussing is important. i feel bad about that. its just one example there are numerous so being that I'm a bit down i wanted to start fresh and find out whats on your alls mind. so i did use a stile of communication that was a bit provocative. but all say this it defiantly worked you came alive even if it was out of a sense that you were being singled out. which you where not. i think most of the people i was talking about still have not commented on this thread. i don't believe they ever will. you see I'm one of the people that are singled out as being a maul content most of the time because i want things to be better. i want ever one to get what they need and to be fulfilled as much as possible. with out diving of in to a hole nother subject We as Americans cannot go on this way any longer. we don't treat each other with respect any more. so life is tough. we shy away we don't comment we just act like passive voyeurs reading other peoples threads but never really giving of are selves. so i ask again why are we here? if its not to interact. now i hope no one thinks that this is about them specifically its not. if your still think it is then your just looking for a fight were there is nun

I may not agree with you all all the time. hell I'm even wiling to admit that theres people here i don't particularly like. but i will never just sit back and passively take from you with out giving of my self back. it my promise and my commitment as a fellow traveler on this plant. i only hope that in the past present an future that i never give the impression that i don't want to hear from you because i unequivocally do. i don't care how small a comment you want to make all always take you seriously. i will always answer you honestly and from my hart .
and to the best of my abilities i will always share my Bananas with any one that asks. its just good manners!

thats were I'm coming from thanks for letting me rant. it was vary Cathartic for me i feel allot better knowing that you all know what I'm going threw.
Paulo

PS for those of your that are new its important for me to explain that i have dyslexia so some of my wighting mite be a tad difficult to read and for this i am sorry

Well said, Paul. You've always got a buddy in me. I think most folks knew you didn't mean anything bad with your initial post. Most of us who've been on here a while have a good feel for you and your style. Drop me a line anytime you need to talk.

Hey Paulo, I see by your signature that its 108 where you live there in Nevada, as we would say here in Minnesota UFF DAH! , and no matter that it is a dry heat, that's HOT. I knew where you were coming from in your thread, and I must admit that this is not native to just this forum, happens a lot and I am gulity of checking in on other forums to just see what's happening and not respond to stuff myself. I think in everyones life things are busy and folks just don't always have the time they would like to sit down and read through articles and comment. Keep cool!

Exclamation Re: Rant

damaclese: Paulo, you are writting too long posts. I'm not strong enough (emotionally, spiritually, ...) to read them til the end. As I guess you didn't appeal to me in the original post, I would like to come to your defense.

Sorry that this will be so long: BLA BLA BLA...

So let's not argue here (everyone), don't give people a chance to be mad. We are all here because in some way, we like to grow the same thing - bananas. And if someone doesn't want to interact with others, it's his/her choice.
You don't have to accept it as an opinion/choice, but you should learn to respect it and don't judge people.


And those who posted their first post in week(s) to this thread should really think about why they joined here in the first place. The forum is free to view even if you're not logged in/registered.

jjjankovsky: I would very much like to help you, but the fact that I haven't answered to your question is, that I either didn't notice it or don't know the answer. It might as well be possible, that no-one knows the answer.
In the end, we all are (I think there's no exception) just banana growing hobbyists, not professional, university educated agricltural engineers with banana plantain growing specialization.

Peace.

My last post here was at about 2a.m. & will someone tell me what the heck I was trying to say??? I think I was writing in my sleep ha ha. Y'know, in 06 & 07 I only posted a few times. I did read here but I just didn't know what to say. Sometimes it's best that way (if ya don't know what to say, don't say anything) LOL...I'm a good example of that! I was much busier then too & didn't have the time.
Paul, I think you really miss your good plant buddy, Scot!

Paulo, I don't see how anyone could be offended by your comments, I have noticed in the last two years the same things, some of our old regular posters have become to busy with there lives, I've been one for the last several months,(started going to school) I haven't been in a class room in 37 years, so my learning curve has been even higher than when I first joined the Org. I do however drop in every other day or so to check up on my Org family and welcome newcomers, and that stuff about your writing style, Dude, I have always understood your meaning in your posts and appreciate your knowlegde and input.
