Hempy,
I have been posting for a few months and read many good and informative posts by you. For this I thank you. I will soon be growing my La Nina in Hempy Buckets and again, thank you for sharing this with the canna community. You deserve recognition and a ton of respect for this.
With that being said, if someone asked me to describe this Hempy guy I would say: Hempy is has a memory like a steel trap (I believe you histories at face value) knows how to and has been around some incredible grows by all accounts. Loves sativas (as do I) and shares his growing techniques on an open forum.
Now, on recent forums Hempy has become the 'hey look at me' guy. Most Americans, especially Southerners know what this is. It's the guy doing a stunt like base jumping. As he gets a stiff breeze that sends him sailing out before the spectators he goes 'hey look at me!' As everyone turns their attention to him. A stiff wind pushes them right into the cliff face and they come crashing down. Hempy I am not an analyst, but recently you have been that guy. Try not to be that guy anymore. Real life tells me that these posters could just as easily get along with you as argue. Believe it or not, it is your call. You do contribute and will contribute. Right now you like to bicker. That is a fact.
The thing that all of us need to understand that some very cool folks at MNS have given us a place to express our ideas and share in all things marijuana, plus a few entertaining things on the side. Not just new growers or old growers or growers period. It can be anyone who cares to. It isn't up to me or you to decide who posts here, nor should it be. The threats you make as to who can participate in this forum are by all accounts hollow. MNS is a business and bitching hurts the company. They want civility and what you call honesty and truth are seen differently by others. If you know something and are unwilling to share that information, that is your call. I disagree but guess what? That's my call. Ain't nothing but a thang. Some histories are rewritten regularly. Haze and G13 among them. Great points to discuss, and your posts can be very civil (HHF response) and you sir do not need to be a non-contributing accuser. By acting this role you (or anyone doing it) deliberately brings about posters who will go on and on at the non-contributing level. It's like spraying herbicide on a plant. The thread, like the affected plant, withers up and dies. Is this what you want? I hope not. You are better than that.
Just thought I'd add that Eisenhower was in office when I was born. I would guess by your 1979 reference that I have a couple years on you. Not that it really matters. BH my apologies for the spiel. Hempy thanks again for all the right things you have done and at the risk of you getting angry I have to ask you this one question. If you continue being the MNS contrarian, would you consider removing the second part of your signature line statement? It would then be much more accurate.
