No idea, I have never – and would never – disrespect someone so much as to flag/cancel their personal opinions which they express during an adult conversation… no matter how any individual perceives that dialog. Apparently some people are easily triggered by words and lack the ability to hold a conversation without dismissing others opinions but expect their own opinions to be respected

I didn’t mean he paid his dues as a breeder. He was Eastbound and Downing packs back when that was actually a dangerous occupation. It put him in the perfect middleman position later.
One due he certainly didn’t pay was his rap career. He bought his character off of Ebay. I find that to be his biggest offense.

I’m nowhere near finishing the rest of the thread, but this hit home, hard.

it’s this kind of stuff that made a lot of us leave RIU.
i would REALLY hate to see “cancel culture” bullsh*t invade OG.

I was told this is where the line for the bathroom starts… and this isn’t a chip on my shoulder, it’s a pet iguana that sleeps all the time. Can I still hang out here? There’s a lot of drama, and nothing good on TV, so this seems like the place to be…

Its not so bad here.way better than RIU God i couldnt stand that place what a toilet it usually goes in The form of Ogers that have been on like a month or so get to around maybe 4 or 5 Pips then start going all combative hang in long enough to be granted flag privileges then trigger finger goes berserk on the flag button then said thread turns into a flaming war then it goes haywire.Im very guilty of derailing threads sometimes but in small tolerable offenses not to the point of doing it to be a giant dick.RIU had this Toxic thing where everyone tore into everyones ass not just the newguys but the newguys were always fresh meat for the grinder and treated with extreme predudice at least it eas that way back in 2019 last time i checked might have been an old uncle ben post or something people were being cocks to him and i think he has a lot of really good info on growing i could listen to him talknabout avacado and tropical fruit trees for hours that man really is a master of his craft and people were just disrespectful because he showed them you dont need 1200$ worth of Nutrients to grow epicurean smoke.

Some interesting information can be found in studies now. Of course thousands of years of cannabis breeding also say a lot.

yeah… i go to online weed forums to read/absorb knowledge, ask questions, and talk about growing.
there are too few members over there that do that. they want to talk politics and dog pile people that disagree with the groupthink. what a waste. i don’t miss it.
i spent more time just silently reading old posts from old masters.
the only truly GOOD thing that came out of RIU was meeting firstcavapache … who then directed me to come here.
the second best thing was getting to read schwaggy p’s breeding thread. complete mind blow (for me). much love for jorge cervantes and ed rosenthal, but their books didn’t quite cover the stuff schwaggy was talking about.
i am no where NEAR that level, but i have those techniques tucked away for later use when i start pollen chucking.

You replied to a post about a dude who blew his career up because he was jealous of Berners success.
Never said I liked berner or cookies, I just hate fake hippies more. San is one of the only real ones left. I’m not growing anyone else’s shit from here or any cookies.
Sounds like you have some issues with black and white thinking, man. You’re not growing anything from anyone at Overgrow now either? Because we’re all fake hippies? But you are not even though you’re here too? And so is SAN? Please keep it together it seems like you’re alternately defending and attacking Berner and have attached some singular importance to SAN (who I personally love 
) that I don’t really get. He makes good genetics, so do lots of others here. Where’s all this aggression coming from? It seems like you just want to fight with people, honestly.

Yes and it was funny as hell, you think that guy started doing that thinking he was going to walk out of there with his job? I say he’s a legend, way to completely fuck with a job you must hate on your way out the door

Dude what are you talking about. You’re interpreting everything as passive aggressive or something. Just read it literally, didn’t say everyone else sucks. The people who have spoken to me on the phone and in person here would read those posts completely differently.
This seems pretty hard to misinterpret

Yes I am literally not growing anyone else’s strains who are members of this site and not sponsors. I guess Tom hill is the exception.

I’m not even upset at you dude like you want to chat? We can do that and work it out if it’s important to you.
When I say he is more successful than someone else I mean that in the most objective measurement there is in the US.

Yea but you’re not hearing the other folks in here including me who don’t think his monetary or cultural success is worth much on balance with the other factors about the man and his works and their influence. I don’t call a guy successful when he’s as widely despised by people in his own industry and community/culture as Berner is, even if he’s got money in the bank, and I suspect that he probably is inflating that number as well.
Success is an independently measured value, your definition of it isn’t mine but you keep screaming at us “Berner is the king” while claiming to also not like him. So kill the king in your head and stop thinking about the guy like he’s a success. Like, come on, you want me to go to some Cookies dispensary and be like “where’s Berner I want to talk with him I got beef” and hopefully not get tackled by two security guards?
Speak for yourself, I respect every person who throws rocks at the throne and I think it matters. You don’t have to, but you don’t get to tell me over the internet and have me care. In person I’d laugh in your face if you said that to me, those are the words of a loyal peasant, someone who respects power. Not me dude.

Haven’t had a cookies cross I didn’t at least like a little, most I’ve had I’ve liked a lot actually. Well peanut butter cookies were a bit finicky to grow but great smoke.
