Not bitter at all. Its Spike's loss. He'd rather have a bunch of beginners
unable to answer each others questions than have anyone he considers a
threat to his little kingdom. You can be sure he now has far more people
banned than members. He has no interest in gardening or sharing info and has
said so. He does everything he can to discourage knowledgeable people from
taking part in the discussions. His GardenWeb is just an excuse for hustling
a few buck from advertisers. If the advertisers abandon the creep, the farce
will be ancient history.

I wish you could see first hand what an arbitrary mean spirited autocrat
Spike really is.

Bitter? You may be incredibly smart but are way to harsh for most
moderated
groups.

Will someone please tell Spike that KrisHur has been spamming and using
foul
language on GardenWeb so Prissy Krissy can see the full wrath of that
evil
despot showing his true colors? She will be banned faster than she can
say
"What the freak happened?"!! She will also see first hand that Spike
doesn't
practice what he preaches when she makes an inquiry and gets a reply
full
of
foul language.

Garden trolls in the rose gardens? Well isn't that special?

I love GardenWeb and have never had a problem with Spike. He doesn't
check
every message that comes in, someone makes a complaint, he checks it
out
and
takes action if necessary. Someone is either spamming or using foul
language or posting OT to get kicked off. I love that, I don't want
people
who are financially interested promoting their products. I don't want
to
read foul language, I stopped reading rec.gardens.roses b/c of all the
trolls. And I like that he keeps the groups focused on gardening and
not
politics or religion or any other crap.

B/c of Garden Web I met a few local gardeners at a plant swap and we
had
a
great time. So good we are doing it again! The gardeners in the
Southern
CT
area are having another swap on May 3--at the last one I got all kinds
of
good stuff: Black Mondo grass, Geraniums, Plox, ferns, allium, Galium
odoratum, lamium, and a huge gorgeous peony. I gave away: Dr. Rupple
Clematis, Campanula punctata "Wedding Bells", daylilies, hostas.

This year I have a lot of stuff to bring as I'm changing a lot of
plants.
I
like that I can find them a good home rather than tossing them. I'm
taking,
Centaurea montana, some mis-named bright yellow asiatic lilies,
platycodon
alba and mariesi seedlings, Gailardia "Burgundy", Monarda "Scorpion"
and
some dahlias.

Well, I don't have much experience with the regular forums there,
but
the
seed swaps are great. Never had a problem there, and I've been
swapping
seeds for many years.
