Why Fight Amongst Ourselves?

Aren't we all here about the same thing? I don't get it. Seems like some folks just want to bust each others balls, or different for the ladies. Why? I recentley have been chatting with a member who changed his name recentley. Now I watch him get trolled by somewhat new members who think they know it all. He gave me the BEST advice throughout my whole first grow indoors. No other members offered even a third of his advice. Yet, I seem him being trolled. Maybe if we were all a little nicer to one another. We would actually be the best weed site always!

because fighting seems like fun

Okay so it's America. We should fight? Why can't RIU set the stage? A few experienced folks on here pick and choose who they want to help. I got lucky and had some help. After countless attempts of getting 300 views and no responses. Now i'm getting my grow dialed in. It only takes ONE!

It's just fun for people like Buck.

They aren't here to talk, they're here to talk shit.

No we shouldn't fight but its the internet, its inevitable. Sadly.

I think it's because we're all a bunch of assholes....in my case anyway.

Okay, i'm new to computers and the net. Don't like facebook or any of that shit. Thought maybe having something in common, with something that is still considered taboo, would bring folks closer! Sorry wishful thinking!

Well ,Buck should help me out with my reveg. Even if he wants to throw some shit my way! lol

*Sigh*. Sadly I think as well intended as this thread may be, it won't go smoothly. But i've got my fingers crossed for you. Blessed are the peacemakers

Yeah, been on here long enough that I know a small tsunami will probably be the end result. But, once again Wishful Thinking!

Haven't always been a peacemaker! Back in the day. Anyway, hoping for a small amount of brotherhood and sisterhood amongst members.

^^I love it lol

i had a whole response typed out about why this happens but then i saw the irony of what i was saying.

short version: even the best intentions get twisted into trolldom on the internet.

I guess it is what it is. Still, setting the stage for the best website about growing?

you would think that is the case with us stoners, but sadly it seems like a lot of people like to come here simply to talk shit and hide behind their keyboards..
i tend to think that these type of people were teased and beat upon as kids in the real world and have no real friends to speak of, so in turn they turn to the internet where they can simply hide behind their keyboards and act like complete jerkoffs safe knowing that no one can reach them or get any sort of revenge towards them other then talking shit back on the net..
the whole anonymity thing plays a huge role in it imo.. again, people can be key board tough guys and not have to worry about retribution, something they never had in the real world..
it really is sad..

yeah well... you'd be surprised how many times ive made statements to help people here with the truth about the legal system and other messed up things that we all should get together to end like... ahhhemmm(clears throat)>>> (prohibition of cannabis)

and its like fucking crazy how many will somehow "disagree" with me... as if they like being told what to do from (falsely perceived "authority") and that they somehow "enjoy" having their inherent natural rights taken away from them...

its like they just love being "good little slaves" or are just too blind to see how bad it really can get for them in just a blink of an eye...

but alas... maybe one day ???
