after overstepping polite boundaries -GardenWeb sucks still!!
Got you speechless, eh dude?
If Spike was honest and called his so-called GardenWeb what it really is "SpamWeb", people would be leaves his autocratic little kingdom in droves!!! Members of GardenWeb get tons of unsolicited Spam. There's nothing polite about that. Spike wants suckers that kiss his butt and never complain. "LanscpHort" wrote in message ... "Janet Bledsoe" wrote in message om... There is such a list where many wreck garden users have gone to get away from this place where people do not treat each other with kindness and respect. Many people moved over to a mail list called Gardens & Gardening. Over 500 users from around the world. Everyone is allowed to post. Everyone is allowed to agree to disagree, but no one is allowed to call others names or try and humiliate them. You can read more about this list at: http://www.lsoft.com/scripts/wl.exe?...&H=LSV.UKY.EDU arch1ves show @ddrezzez, suggsting that zpammbots may find victims? All are welcome and encouraged to join. But be advised, you could potentially receive up to 150 emails a day. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Kindest Regards, Janet "madgardener" wrote in message ... well if he does so be it. one can always try right? I believe Spike is a jerk because there are too many saying so, but I gotta try, right? g I always have my garden fence here to support and talk to ..until people tell me to leave and I bet I'd still lurk and throw out ramblings even after people told me to leave. but I'm not inclined to think I'd be asked to leave here. I know I'm loved........(blush) "J. Del Col" wrote in message m... "madgardener" wrote in message ... "Callen Molenda" wrote in message ... Mad, you sweet goofball. ;-) yep, that'd be me..............g I avoided the GardenWeb posts entirely, knowing full well how my beloved Cereoid would respond to any discussion of the evil Spike and his website. I am continually learning. I find Garden Web intriguing. And I was serious about starting a new forum of wreck garden refugee's for just flitting about and saying hi. ..... If you start it on Gardenweb it won't last beyond Spikey's first fit of pique at something he dislikes. He's an officious jerk. J. Del Col |

I believe that the process used by Spike Hernandez at Gardenweb to "dump" people he has banned from the forums to a Disney website violates Disney's use of its web site and copyright. If you have been banned by Gardenweb and dumped to the Disney web site, report this abuse to this email address:
All correspondence to Disney is kept strictly confidential. |

so how on earth did you "offend" Spike? I've been warned about him as I've
only recently just started to visit the forums. There was one post that warned me I was crossing some boundary and after tweeking my post, it went and posted, but I believe that had I not removed the two words in my writing, I'd be banned right now too. Lets hope someone fixes his tendency to banish people. madgardener walking very carefully around the forums "plantlover999" wrote in message s.com...

Lets hope someone fixes his tendency
to banish people. I don't see the problem. It is a civil forum run the way the administrator wants it - its his game, if you don't like the rules, don't play. Have there been examples of the moderators acting inconsistently, or not giving people the chance to respond to criticism? If so, I'd say that was imprudent, but it is still his game to run as he sees fit - if he does it too arbitrarily, he'll deter participation. |

Wussy one-person-dictator bulletin boards are (sometimes) safer for children, naifs, dorks, the sick & dying, & archly polite people who never say "******" out loud but certainly do wear their bedsheets to rallies. I know of only one bulletin board (the Beekslayers group, but there are doubtless others like it) that is as nasty, mean, loving, grotesque, funny, moronic, absurd, & intelligent as UseNet -- the rest I've seen are for the brain-dead & their children, & are policed accordingly based on the assessments of the ownes of each given board. Gardenweb is one fellow's private party open to all who knuckle under to the owner of the house -- it's wussy & undemocratic, sure, but if I let you in MY house, you'll play by MY rules or I'll tell you to get the hell out cuz, well, it's my house. The fact that you want to vengefully dick with the dipshit even now suggests you were rightly kicked out of his house. And routing the banished to Disney is so subtle an insult that one could almost admire the dipshit in question. Just be grateful it wasn't the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Personally I've never even been slightly tempted to go in his house, but I'm sure a post like this one, which actually sticks up for his right to be a dipshit dictator over his own domain, would get me kicked off at once; if I'm wrong about that, then great, I'll never know, because I'm very satisfied with UseNet groups, foul-mouthed excentrics & nutballs included, because for every one unpleasant cretin gotten rid of, ten intelligent voices leave as well, until all that remains is a safe, uninspiring mediocrity. On UseNet we do not have one single overlord deciding who deserves free expression & who gets the boot. But this is Soapbox Park & thereby a genuine public forum for which Constitutional ideas of liberty apply; gardenweb is not. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher.

some great words snipped, pruned and whacked for
space the impressive Paggers espounder elloquently and she and others are the reason I remain here more often than visiting GardenWeb.........that and who has time to read all the posts to all those forums? I visit the Tennessee forum on occaison and found my Golden Hanaii sanseveria thru their Sanseveria forum, and made some neat friends, but I have love and respect for the regulars and loonies over here too. g that is after all why I am the madgardener ..paghat.com |

I also belong to the banned from the Garden Web forum and sent on a
trip to Disney land because he (spike and his little net nannies) did not wholeheartly agree whith a post I made in regards to service and parts as provided by one of his sponsors. Spike is one of those clowns who if he does not get his way will take his ball and go home. So welcome to the Banned from GW Club, your certainly not alone or in the minority on this by any means. MAtter of fact a new forum has been started a few months back and is rapidly growing everyday, and its comprised of the majority of folks Spike himself banned from GW Its mainly geared to L & G Tractors , lawns and such but also has landscapeing and planting etc forums as well. check it out at: http://www.tractorforum.com/forums/ Visit my website: http://www.frugalmachinist.com Opinions expressed are those of my wifes, I had no input whatsoever.
