DIY co2 delivery system

[DonJones]

THG, perhaps you need to reread the thread. MY post was not about baking soda and vinegar -- It was about CO2 use in general and didn't even mention baking soda or vinegar.

Your description of the person who made the id(s) is very accurate but the fact remains that some thing he did had to upset them or they wouldn't have picked him out.

I asked to to make this a private message discussion because it no longer has any thing to do with the original topic. Now I'm just going to be blunt about it -- I'm through with this discussion. I'm not going to waste the server space nor the reader's time with something that is NOT a public matter.

I mean NO disrespect towards you or even Hick. As I have said over and over again, the mods have a thankless job that you couldn't pay me enough to do. However, this is not about me and a moderator, but about Hick's using the same or worse personal attacks towards me in the public forum and that is okay.

Great smoking.

PS:

I'm still waiting for an explanation of the difference between the forms of "badassed" and other slang terms using the same root word of a male donkey -- I seriously and sincerely do not understand it and want to understand the rational so that MAYBE I'll manage to avoid violating some other similar rule.

HIE,

Please accept my apology for the inappropriate comment and factual error in my earlier post to you about the live links. It had nothing to do with anything. Please read my latest post in the thread where the links were posted.

Again, I apologize for reacting without any real relationship between the issues. It was childish and inappropriate.

Great smoking.

Don you were certainly proud of the rep system when you became a "senior member" proud enough to re-introduce yourself...and your new title in the "introduce yourself" section.

What is the problem with the rep system now...because you suddenly dropped in reputation, because of your long winded, arrogant, posts? Now that people give you negative rep because they don't agree with your statements. Suddenly the system is at fault? If my Rep suddenly dropped I think I would be forced to take a look at myself, and why suddenly my peers had a change of heart. Could it be that maybe people are seeing through your long rants and seeing what you really are? An insecure old man, that has just begun to learn, but dearly wishes he knew as much as he would like people to think he knows? I used to like to read your posts when you were humble enough to admit that you were trying to learn, but somewhere in the last couple of months you graduated from student to master (in your mind) I for one have spent over 2 decades trying to master the art of growing..I don't feel like I'm there yet...it's funny...no sad, to me that you suddenly feel like you have to act like you know everything in a matter of a few months.

I guess what I'm trying to say is there is nothing wrong with the MP reputation system...if you are recieving bad rep, maybe you should look a little harder at yourself and the things you are saying to others...it's not hard for those of us that have been growing for a long time to recognize someone who hasn't, but is trying to come across as being experienced. The main reason I believe that your rep has fallen though is that for awhile there you were certainly quick to treat people like they were somehow below you, and certainly less intelligent than you...it's hard to make friends or even be taken seriousely when you insult people, and thier intelligence.

I am happy to see that you have calmed some on the condescending tone in your manifesto's....unfortunately it took a threat from Hick to get you to open your eyes...I for one am surprised that you made it this long. The MODS and the rep system are all working perfectly...you seem to be the only one here with a problem with these things.

legalize freedom,

What does my dissatisfaction with the rep system have to do with this thread?

By the way, it was your rep stats that drew my attention to the weird way the rep system works. Suddenly it shows that you have never been thanked and I know that is wrong because I have thanked you several times myself. If the rep system works so good, all of a sudden, you know nothing and no one has ever expressed agreement with anything you have posted. Check the other peoples stats too and see if they make sense to you.

By the way, according to the stats, my rep is a lot better than yours, but I do not believe that for a minute! Your experience and knowledge is far superior to mine, but even the best can be mistaken and even the worst can be correct once in a while. I don't check my rep because I never cared one way or the other.

If you remember, I was being sarcastic when I was discussing the possible nomination towards MVP status, and I was responding to a comment about it made by another member. I have never thought I desired any such recognition and will decline it if possible should it be offered.

And then try to give someone rep and notice that it doesn't ask was it helpful but do you agree or disagree with the post.

Also, I never did pay attention to the rep thing when evaluating advice, but just like my signature suggests, thought about it and if I didn't understand asked for clarification until I did, and then either followed it or not depending upon whether or not it made sense.

Enough.

Great smoking to each of you regardless of whether we agree on everything, somethings or nothing.

DonJones would you quit the RECTAL VENTRILOQUISM all you do is cry like a spoiled brat. When you first joined you was trying to fit in now all you do is belittle someone or cry about something that means NOTHING. You carry a attitude that around he in person would get you rolled up like a bugger. I am sorry I even told ANYONE about you or your threads, no matter how much it has helped them.

Everyone on here is trying to help themselfs as they are helping other. You seem to be of the mind set anymore that you know everything. This is far from the truth or even in the right ballpark.

If what I or anyone else says makes sense then try it, if it sounds off base then ignore it or investigate it yourself -- but for your own sake ignore the popularity poll they call a reputation system.

I believe I pm'd you about removing this from your signature.

14. You will, if asked by a representative of the Forums, cease posting any content, and/or links to content, deemed inappropriate by the staff of the Forums.

15. The Marijuana Passion Forums are not public domain and membership can be withdrawn by the board owner at any time for any reason. The moderators reserve the right to refuse or delete any message for any reason.

Is there a problem?
As I have said, the rep system is working exactly as it is suppose to.

Don I honestly don't know, or care how the rep system works. I do know that I recieve posotive rep comments from other members pretty regularly, also I get PM's of thanks, and some people just say it in the thread, as you yourself have. I do know that with my rep it says I have 115,844 points. But I couldn't tell you what that means...nor do I really care. I'm here to learn new things, and share what I know with others so that we can all grow good herb. Thats it, it's not a popularity contest to me. If I offer my experience, one can choose to follow it or ignore...it doesn't effect my grow at all.

My thing with you personally is your crappy attitude towards everything at this site. If your that unhappy with things here, go find a site for disgruntled old men, that all want to be smarter than each other. I can't stand that you belittle people here who are trying to learn, when you yourself have about equal experience as the people you are condeming. When you publicly attack people like OHC...who by the way I happen to like, I take offence to that. You see she is trying to learn something here, she's haveing some success, but she does not suddenly start acting like she is an ACE grower. You harvested a few plants, and suddenly you talk to everyone as though they are below you.

Again if you don't like the way things are here...do us all a favor and leave. If you insist on staying, how about trying to remain humble, and remember that we are all walking the same line here. Treat people curtiousely, and quit complaining about every little thing that you don't agree with.

Trust me, I have better things to do than to mess with you, but I just can't stand your whinning, and condescending attitude towards people, who are simply trying to learn how to grow good weed.
