Dear Gardeners
I had my laptop checked today and the firewall seems to have kept out
Mike's friend. I discussed it with my husband and we have passed the information about the hacking to our solicitor who will decide what action to take. I have enjoyed reading all the gardening chat and advice here, although I haven't posted very much because my own knowledge is very basic. But it has been ruined for me by Mike with all his horrible posting and lies. He obviously gets a perverted pleasure out of taunting us ladies and I don't want to think any more what he is up to behind his keyboard. So this is to say Goodbye from me to all you nice people, and I hope that you can eventually get rid of the worst garden pest ever. |

I'm really sorry to read this and hope that when a little time has passed, you'll reconsider. I've been a target of Mike's for years - this whole nonsense has started because he has taken umbrage at my husband's business starting mail order without consulting Crowe, it seems. Joke! ;-) But really, please don't let someone so impotent spoil a newsgroup for you. He's not even a member of the group, just a persistent troll. If you'd like to email me, please feel free to do so through the Nursery site. If I'm not the one to receive it firsthand, it will be passed on to my private account. But really, someone as patently ridiculous as Crowe should not (IMO) send anyone off a newsgroup. -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |

I am sure we can do it here. He is a nasty piece of work and not worth changing your life. Please reconsider. Ophelia |

postings here, but is this antagonism usual - I'm not sure I want to sort through this to get at the practical info. Please tell me it's rare.

Please tell me it's rare. If you just ignore any postings from "mike", who doesnt usually have anything much to say about gardening in a gardening newsgroup, you will find lots and lots of nice people, who are willing to share their expertise, helpful tips, and we do veer off occasionally, to different subjects, but it all adds to the friendliness of the group. Tell us about your garden! and dont forget to tell us where you live, I'm in Formby, Merseyside, I have a long narrow garden, sort of segmentet into small area's, have lots of seating around, and am not a veg. grower, much to my guilt, when I read about all the lovely food......but I just love flowers, and especially scented ones, I have about 9 buddlia's, and lots of bees and butterflies. In fact, we are considering keeping bees, any bee keepers on the group? |

Please tell me it's rare. Hello Hound, welcome to the group. Before I joined a couple of years ago the guy that sent me here for good garden advise added "but watch out, they bite back". He was right, you get great gardening advise but those that start stupid arguments do get bitten. I mostly sit back and read the threads that interest me, some of the stupid stuff can be interesting and entertaining (in a morbid kind of way) but if you find it offensive then that is what the delete key is for. I remain glad that I joined, and my garden is looking all the better for it. What's your name by the way. Mike (The Muddy one) |

Please tell me it's rare. It's rare. More seriously, it's almost entirely one person, and I wish that other people would ignore his irrelevant posts. And, yes, I remember when he posted relevant ones. Other people (including me) will get ratty at intervals, but no more than you would expect in a random conversation. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Dear Fuchsia, Please, please don't go on account of this arrogant length of irritation; he's not worth it. I'm in no position to speak, I know, having crawled back under my stone a couple of years ago, but it would be the most horrendous shame if you left. You're one of the good guys. If you really want to protect your computer and yourself, you'd be better advised to beef up your pc security with an extra firewall or similar. These days, you really need that protection anyway and it would be money well spent. Please stay and continue to take part in this friendly group. It's the idiots we need to leave, not genuine people like you. A certain invisible person is merely a figment of your imagination. Most of what he says is a figment of his imagination. Easy, then, to blot him out. Do, please, stay. Spider |

Hello gardening friends,
Thank you all so much for your kind messages. I killfiled Mike a long time ago but the trouble is that there is always someone who replies to him and copies what he says into the thread. If only people would ALL agree to ignore him it would be a much better place. But you are right that one sick old man should not stop anyone else posting here. We are going on holiday for a week but I will come back after that and try to contribute something when I can. Thank you all again for being so nice. |

I am here to learn; mainly, I have some small expertise with vines. One thing none of us tolerate, is flaming; it is a no no. We have had it in the past and anyone who tries it now is totally ignored. So welcome and tell us about your garden. Judith |

The weather was dire at the beginning of the ceremony but as we came out of the Mairie; sun broke through the clouds.

Tender & exotics. South Devon We went to the civil marriage of our friend's son today and our other friend married them; it was very sincere and touching. Then all back to the parents house for a coupe of Champagne and hot nibbles. The religious ceremony is in 2 weeks time in Burgunday, regrettably we can't go as I will be in the UK. The weather was dire at the beginning of the ceremony but as we came out of the Mairie; sun broke through the clouds. Our friend's son is an officer in the French army stationed in Chadd and his new wife (lovely girl) is a parachutist, stationed in Afganistan. All the flowers for the reception came from my garden. Judith I can't *wait* tell Ray there are now female paratroopers......... ;-) Sounds a lovely day, though. When my brother in law married a French girl they had the civil ceremony one day and the church wedding the next and I never did discover which they considered had meant they were actually married. -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials.

When I made my will, I stipulated the cheapest funeral possible and told my lawyer that a sack would do! She was amused but didn't think it would be possible! Graham |

That's good news. Have a really good holiday and come back fighting fit. You're right about encouraging 'Mike'. I even acknowledged him a few days ago, simply because he was helpful and polite. I suppose I hoped that if I responded only when he behaved, he might take the hint. I shall not do so again. Hopefully, if everyone ignores him, or killfiles him, he will disappear from sheer boredom. Ta ra for now. Hope you have good weather. Spider |
