You have created this thread in a discussion group which exists purely,
for other people to discuss plants, gardens, and garden related issues.

This is getting childish.
The thread was created in Garden Banter

... where he ignored GB's sticky and FAQ

and followed up here,
There is a hell of a lot of off topic trash being posted under various
headings that has little or nothing to do with gardening etc but we put
up with it.

You're forever complaining about spam and OT trash most of us never
see; you've been given endless advice how to do the same.

However, when a gardening thread appears, there is every reason for the
gardeners here to join in and discuss the topic of sumach... which they
did in perfectly normal fashion, until the OP rudely rejected their input.

I'm far from the only regular gardening poster who objected to that.


Janet.

You must be so bored.

For your information I have been using NEWS Individual net for the last
month, and I seem to be seeing far more childish messages than I ever
did when using Goggle.
Granted Google didn't filter out a lot of spam, but it didn't seem to
show so much absolute crap that some people seem to post.
Sorry but there is no other term for some of the postings.

That is unfair. He produced a response to an extremely unhelpful
semi-troll, but phrased it in such a way that it seemed to apply to
every response. Because he was a GardenBanterer, he did not realise
that replies very often appear in weird orders. Things then developed
into a flame war.

I am not going to take sides, or even echo Mercutio.

Im not a gardenbanterer either, I just typed gardening forum on google and joint the first one that came up. Yes I have found this website confusing and to be honest, I Wont be here for long! Thank you to everyone who did give me advice though. Going to ask some of the volunteers I work with if they have Sumachs! Dean
