i'm gonna get in trouble for this thread.

hey istand, i don\'t know what\'s going on with any banning. i do know that on several occasions i read posts of his that were, (like you said) really condescending to beginners. posts like, \"i\'m not gonna help you anymore until you do this or that.\" i think reputation points and post count sometimes leads to PHS. puffed head syndrome!
peace

 

problem is wont he just create a new acount with a different name ?

 

Does anyone know what the final straw was that got him booted? He could create a different name, but I doubt spanish would stick around and waste his time if he was clearly not wanted. Yes he was an ass a lot of the time, but he definately knew his stuff. Oh well we still have some seasoned vets out there to help us out.

Peace

 

I know what you mean, he was quite demeening to a lot of newbs but there was no doubting he was a good grower.

 

I believe the last straw was him complaining about the rep system and slamming the City calling it a weak substitute for overgrow.com. Here\'s a link to the thread http://forum.grasscity.com/general-feedback/130478-rep-load-shit.html. RMJL tore him a new one at the end of the thread...its great.

 

I had a bad time here with him once and he left me - rep for my comment to him.

He did know what he was talking about but as you said it was overcome sometimes with an attitude.


By the way he only has a tempory ban but i realy cant see him coming back here anytime soon.


Peace G.C.

 

To be honest, I think he spent too much time growing and not enough smoking!
Then he\'d be chill and less bitchy

 

If it\'s warranted then is it really being an ass?

I didn\'t realize he has been banned. How did you know that / find out?

Spanish does have a chip on his shoulder. What we don\'t know is why, it could be something that would give any of us the same chip too.

Let\'s let sleeping dogs lie -- if he comes back and isn\'t inflammatory, I would welcome him. Personally I thought the help and wisdom he offered far outweighed the occasional indiscretion.

 

well said toasty! i hate to see knowledgable growers leave. we all have personal probs. and need to vent occasionally. he also could have been hurting. a lot of people at these sites has serious medical problems. i hope all is well with him.

 

well put , i liked spanish

temporary ban , he may or may not come back though.

 

Me too, I agree, he did get a little ornery but then a lot of his scorn was well deserved, I mean seriously, when someone starts throwing out advice and haven\'t even successfully grown a single plant, they got what they had coming.

Besides, and I know that other successful growers feel the same way, it really pisses me off when ppl ask for advice and then do just the oppisite cuase its easier or cheaper.

In final analysis, we all should take pause before condemning anyone. And when it comes to soil growing the man could sure get results.

Last of all, seeing as this is one of those bitch post, do you think that it will really effect his ability to grow, I think not, however, on the other hand, there are others who have greatly benifitted from spanishfly\'s wisdom and if he doesn\'t come back that wisdom will be missed.
