It's quite sad how 1 person can tear apart this friendly community.....

You just have to mentally ignore it. Don't respond to a post actively addressing the member that want's to interject tension. I wanted to give my opinion once but then realized I could just ignore it. now I just laugh at the bad behavior and read the stuff that is important to me.

No, there is an ignore setting.

Use the ignore function as Luke says. My list is long now.

He keeps on making new accounts though...

You will figure it out as you go because the phrasing that he uses is always the same and he seems to attack a specific RI grower. I did try it and he's not on the threads anymore but you still see the rebuttal posts from the others. Just be the bigger man and laugh him off and don't play his game. I'm surprised Ken can't ban him.

Has to be same person. I only have 1 person blocked but for some reason it's blocking multiple people. It's probably blocking the computer he uses

Thanks. I guess there is freedom of speech, so he can say / type whatever he wants. But the way other growers respond to his comments is a little upsetting...

Ken has to manage a lot of things, and most growers on this forum didn't pay him a cent. He can only do so much.

pg3. Your absolutely right. Some times I feel guilty I haven't signed up. When you can get it for free you don't think about what it takes to run a site that is so active.

January is a good month to sign up so you remember when your membership is due. That's what I did.

Thanks for the reminder folks. I just went and paid for a membership here on BP. Now that I got this paypal thing happening!
We must appreciate that not all can do this, it is a hobby after all- mortgage and family come first. But if you can, it helps to keep a good thing going. Thanks Ken
And yes, JA, Reading here on PB is like walking in a beautiful pasture, you just have to jump over the crap sometimes.

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry. lol...

I think Ken is a bit loathe to block someone completely unless he/she is outright disgusting or abusive. No one owns the internet and we all have the choice of ignoring and, in this case, blocking someone from our reading options.

Well, it's Ken's page and he can (and perhaps should) block anyone he chooses.

I do miss the lengthy, technical, winter discussions that were a more in-depth conversation among mature adults and those who will someday be.

It might cost a few bucks but we could hold a seed auction. Can you imagine what the response would be. I bet Pap would out bid us all. Just a thought. Woody
