Well it is with a heavy heart that I tell you all this but I am soon done with all online forums. It has come to my attention that many of the folks who knew me at OG and some who have been getting to know me here at ICMag, think that I am a brown nosing puppet to Gypsy. This however is not the case.

Read about it here: http://www.planetganja.com/highsociety/showthread.php?t=8931

Gypsy has done some favors for me. (Mainly just letting me be one of dozens of growers to do test grows for him). In return I tried to show respect for that kindness by joining here and bringing what I did at OG to here. For that I get disrespected and stripped of any credit for having my own mind and will and operating on the principals of what is right and fair. This is a smaller version of what's wrong with the online cannabis community as it is rife with back stabbing lying people jealous of anyone who rises to the top on there own merits. Their response is to make it appear thru distortions of the truth that the person only got to where they are by sucking up to someone.

What is happening to me now with members both here and at PG and from OG is almost amusingly the same thing happening to Gypsy, RC and Old Pink. We are all, to some degree or another sitting around distrusting one another and being divided into seperate camps. Someone once asked recently for people to ask themselves who stands to benefit from it being a lie about RC being arrested? The real question we need to be asking ourselves is who stands to benefit from breaking us apart and turning us against one another. The answer is simple. It's the same answer it's always been and always will be. The answer is, The Man, aka LEO. The reason why they always win? Well that's simple too. When we turn on each other it weakens us. Members fall by the way side. Good members too. I may not have been Mister Perfect all the time and not to brag on myself but I helped many many people, not for money, not for fame, not for anything but friendship and a desire to give back to new growers what was given to me when I was a new grower. I thought I got back all the other stuff, except money, I never made money. But I had people tell me they though I was a god. They compared me up in the ranks of people I consider to be Gods well all but one who is the spearheader of this gutless base betrayal. Likely the result of the stone old coot sitting around wasted all day bragging about his new farm and misunderstanding a comment I made to him. Just like what happened on this site with him and Old Pink. Oh but be careful don't corner him for proof of his claims, he'll whine about his slow ass dial up modem (odd that in a day when someone on disability can afford broadband, a rich successful farmer can't afford more then dial up? He'll tell you he's so well off due to careful management of money and hard work that he has lots of land and so is essentially out in the boonies. Well guess what? I know people who live out of a mobile home in Death Valley that have satallite, I guess his careful management is just being a cheap old fart?) Yep you got it. Uncle Ben. Anyway I have been ranked with him and Sam The Skunkman and other people I admire. I had long-time respected members coming to me praising me for my day in and day out efforts trying to teach people how to grow this 'erb (as Gypsy might say):joint: In almost two years time I did this, just as a sense of paying it forward if you will. Yeah I got karma and had people approaching me to be mod or mentor. To be honest I see that as almost an insult, as it suggests people can only truely help or have the right to help if they bare that title. I bet I helped in two years time almost, easily 500 people to be better growers, and that's just counting the people who came to me directly for help. No telling how many lurkers that never spoke to me directly that I helped. I always felt that a mod or mentorship only serves to paint a target on the foreheads of petty insignificant people that thrive on bringing people down aka Trolls. I believed I could do more people good just being me and spare me all that meladrama and pettiness of people who let power go to their head or think that their title means they are better them or even just the perception that people have that this is how mods and mentors are. I'm not saying any are or aren't but I have witnessed members of "The Community" push mods and mentors that way. I have also witnessed good people (and I hope she doesn't mind me putting her in the spotlight) such as MTF-Shaman go from being a well liked respected helpful member of the growing community to become an outcast, shoved aside and disrespected all because someone or some people felt they deserved the title more. I wonder how many people realize you almost always have to motivate people enough to nominate you? It's not like you punch a clock and after so many months you are awarded this for time served. They are meant to be titles of respect based on how much the bearer contributes in quality not quantity. It's really a shame we even need mods and mentors, "The Community" should be policing itself and helping one another to grow better anyway mods and mentors should be redundent and there should only be admins to help manage the site in an overall sense.

Anyway my rant is getting me off topic here and the emotions boiling in me probably has most of that looking like a confused mess. Hopefully though people can still glean the essence of where I was going with that. Basically I'm saying when we rip each other apart damage is done regardless of whether LEO or The Man had anything to do with it. I am now one of those casualties. I tried to keep things low key because I've long known that information can be a weapon against you and so online I have always practiced misdirection or just kept silent. That is just part of my online security because remember we always were, currently are, and always will be, responsible for our own security. Anyway, most knew I had some kind of problem a disability but nobody really knew to what degree or what exactly. Basically about 14 years ago I suffered a work related injury damagin a large part of my heart. Surgery was done to repair as much as possible and the end result is that while I could go on and live a reasonably normal life simple things such as walking out to the mail box or walking from one end of the house to another would get my heart beating like a jack hammer and cause chest pains. Also extreme emotions and other things I'll not go into would cause me the same problems. Also the doctors told me I likely had another 10-15 years if I was careful, that was 14 years ago. Now at this point, I'd like to believe they are way off I feel as good as I did 5 or 10 years ago. Time will tell. A problem for me is I tend to get passionate about things and for better or worse that's at the core of who I am. This tends to lead me to getting overly emotional which cause the chest pains. Enter my savior, good old marijuana. The knowledge I gathered here and elsewhere allows me to grow good enough pot that I get wasted and tend to stay more calm and placid. I am one of probalby thousands if not millions of self-prescribed medical marijuana users. I say self-prescribed because I don't live in an area where medical marijuana is an option and even if it wasn't it would not be recognized as a treatment for me. I try to eat it when possible but I enjoy the taste of smoking good 'erb too much and besides I feel the calming effect does me more good then the harm smoking might be doing. My cardiologist doesn't like it but he at least acknowledges that it does seem to help at least for me. Anyway, tonight, even though medicated, while defending myself from people I once respected and called friends I was so enraged by the betrayal I was witnessing that I experienced chest pains. So unfortunately as much as I'll miss it, I have to call it quits for the forums. I loved giving back and helping as it gave me something to fill what is otherwise a fairly dull life and there are people I'll dispise for the rest of my life however long that is for forcing me to have to give this up but I do want to keep living for a while and the best method that has served me for 14 years now is to avoid things that cause me chest pains. So thanks alot Uncle Ben, DJNuts, the unknow rabbit (paranoia is a bitch huh rabbit?), Butcher Bob and a bunch of others who know who they are, you successfully destroyed the pittiful online life of a man who thoroughly enjoyed sharing with the community for almost 2 years. Hope you are real proud of yourselves you just won the flying Fuck You award which automatically qualifies you for the prestigious scum of the net award. Others such as KeenKutter, Existenziphile, cr@sh, BudBudda, Gypsy, Growmatic, Seren, Ben TTech <sp?> :D, The Unknown Grower and numberous others who know who they are, you always believed in me and done the honorable thing as I try to do, and judged me for my actions and not others accusations for this all of you have earned my respect and admiration I will always think kindly of you. There are also many people such as Littlemom, MJW, and numberous others who know who they are, I called friends but chose to stay out of such things. It saddens me to see you opt to stay out of these things but I understand and regonize the need to do so especially now, those are shark infested waters and internet tough guys abound, both the obvious and unobvious kind, please watch out for yourselves because I always had your best interests at heart no matter what other ideas people may have put in your heads. There are also many other I interacted with who were all about the business of growing and didn't get involved in much of the social life I am sorry to have to go, a part of me feels like I let you down but we each have to look after ourselves according to our needs. Hopefully the time I put in helping folks was enough to genuinely earn the karma you all showered so freely on me. Could come in hand in my next life :D To the people here at ICMag, well I never really got a chance to know any of you, and that is truely sad, you seemed like a great bunch of people. One distressing thing, in one of the posts over at PG in the link I provided above, someone presumably a member here, implied that many of the more established members here see me as a laughing stalk. Now it could just be an attempt at trying to convince me to leave there or some other petty crap. However, I submit to you that if it's true you all are gutless cowards and merely posers and have no place in "The Community" I can say this with certainty because nobody ever said anything to me directly nor have I been here long enough for any of you to know me. Gypsy, I'm sorry it's got to be this way, I hope you can understand, you've always been straight with me and as such I have no reason to doubt you now, even though so many one time friends say I should. I hope in the end me and you are vindicated but if I understand things correctly that's all in RC's hands. Having never really gotten a chance to know RC I have know way of knowing if I can count on him, from where I stand though looks like "The Community" might be fixing to use you as the sacrificial lamb, watch out for yourself, I think you are a good man that doesn't deserve this.

Some may say I'm martyring myself and perhaps in a way I am. I mean the chest pain I felt tonight could be caused by other things not related to being online at all, but with maybe just a year to go, I can't take that chance. But if my leaving can serve as a wake up call to "The Community" to stop being petty and tearing each other apart and come together to further the cause then it is all worth it. Some may say I have no heart, ironically and saddly, that's exactly right, well not exactly, I got some heart.

Listen people, if nothing else learn one thing from my tale. You never know what's really going on with a person on the other end of a post. Many of us are here because we are holding on by a thread and marijuana helps us to do that. Sure we get high off it and enjoy it like the rest of you. But for us, it and these forums is life to us. So don't go trashing someone's online life it may be the little bit of goodness in life to look forward to. The thing that helps you want to get out of bed each day because it's pretty much all you got. Be nicer to one another, don't take that away from us poor pitiful slobs that have such useless lives in your eye's.

I hope my message gets heard as I feel it is vital to "The Community" to wake the hell up. Alas if I am to believe what I was told tonight by my former friends from OG now at PG then nobody will read this and the message won't get out and I'll just be another flash in the pan Rock Star soon forgotten when all I ever wanted to be was A Simple Old Dirt Farmer.

By the way a side note on the Rock Star thing in a conversation here were people were talking about the insignificance of karma I made a comment to the effect that I elevated myself to near Rock Star status at OG just by being friendly and helping people learn to grow, I felt it okay to say this because I had people telling me they thought of me as a God and there was another female grower that I helped become an experienced female grower and we had this running joke that she was my appointed groupie. So the whole Rock Star thing was just a tongue in cheek kind of remark to say look what you can accomplish by just being nice. This is the smoking gun my accussers pull out of their asses where they take it out of context to make it look like I think I'm better then everyone. I could have just as easily said I elevated myself to Godhood so I kind of thought the rock star thing was toning it down. But just for the sake of honesty let me make it clear. I am not a rock star, I am not a god, I'm Just A Simple Old Dirt Farmer always was, am now, and hopefully will be for a few more years yet. I can't begin to think of a way to properly express how hard this is for me right now.

Oops, wait a minute, yes I can, chest pain, got to go! :frown:

On a special Call out to Butcher Bob, guess I read too much into that whole fellowship thing with the Hellfire Club, Jesus you really hurt me with that one.

it took me a while to catch on that OG was down.. I had made that my home after I found TreatingYourself.com to be a bit loose and Marco a bit crazy... haha thats not an insult, just a observation... and ********** was just a place to ask genetics questions and bid on seeds....

I am glad I found one of my main compadres for late night banter....

For objective purposes... the ladies look great.. looks like the one or two that were fried a bit have come back and are dark green on all undamaged growth... and the candy look is great... have you been using any different lighting? I know its cause you have almost 50% matured pistils... but they sure do look purdy!

I read through a bunch of the thread and I really didn't pick up on much of the accusations as you put them Hemp.... but I know your a traveler so I assume much of it is surrounding advice you give(usually the best around I can add when it comes to mastery of the basic priciples[which really define all growing, except for advanced nutirent adjustment])

I am on the karma train with outkastt.... you need not be flustered by the young audience here..... they don't mean well, or harm, they just don't mean ANYTHING at all.

BTW & FYI, We harvested and the yeild(still yet to be fully dry weighed out) looks to be above a 1/2 pound.... the BB sativa was the best yeilder suprisingly... and that bud is ridiculous in all aspects, aesthetically, odor, and the high is quite reminicent of a sativa dominant mix, but the kids smoking the early sample cut just weren't expecting it!

I had so much fun and I can attribute your additions and conversation to a good part of the experience, along with hempc, yoshicolas, and more that I hope to find again on CC and ICmag.... I won;'t be able to start up again for at least 4 months... so I DEFINETLY want to follow others endevours, esp. yours... so keep on trucking!

-Taxol..... I need my avatar back , huh.
