The very worst thing you can do is reply to disconnected people. Skip
their posts and enjoy the group. I do it all the time; and will here.
Great group, A lurker.


Another variation on the 'negativity'/'hateful' theme! 'Disconnected' comes
from the same phycho babble stable.

Try thinking about the word "passion". Why haven't you noticed that it is
the people with passion that you are complaining about? The truly
passionate ones are the same ones who know about gardening. Passionate
people may be a total pain in the end sometimes, but they are those exact
same people who observe, who are experienced and who can answer the
questions.

If they don't have direct experience, they generally want to know the answer
because they are curious. Curiosity leads to knowledge.

It has been my experience in this group that the passionate ones are
believers. Not empericists, but rather true believers of the one true
way. They remind me very much of other evangelicals who passionately
try to convert others to their point of view, no matter how
unsupported it might be.

Pot, kettle, absence of light.


Yeah, good, but you don't specify your premise, you don't give a
citation to augment your argument, and your conclusion is ambiguous.
I say, what the hell are you talking about?
