Not a case of people being put off in case they get a nasty reply, its more a case of people not wanting to converse on that level, and why would they

 

so if i were very rude to you for being a bore do i get banned:laugh1:

Oh Rob! that old chestnut of timid tree surgeons too scared to press the submit button in case of a harsh word from some nasty man. Do me a favour! They're more likely to turned off by some worthy bore.

 

That's a bit of a sweeping generalisation though isn't it?

 

Of the huge memership of the forum, there's an awful lot that don't appear to post very often - I'd be fairly sure that a good number of them don't post for that very reason as I know of enough already that don't post because of it.

 

I don't post a lot, but nothing to do with "a harsh word from a nasty man" more that it's just easier than having to disregard 75% of the posts because some people like the sound of their own voice a bit much.

I've spoke to a few lads I know who have been on here in the past and they say they can't be bothered with the "mine is bigger thank yours attitude" and some of the bottom licking that goes on. I enjoy the crack on here and TBH I don't post comment on a lot of things as I can't be bothered with the bitching that can some times erupt.

It's not all tree surgeons that use this forum though is it... it's home owners, timber millers, wood workers, carvers all sorts...

 

 

And by labelling 'timid' tree surgeons you're saying that they are in some way weak or feeble and nervous.

 

 

People take it to heart and instead of firing back just retire into the background.... have done x4 arb shows this year and that is what a fair few people have told me...

Yeh me too Hodge. I know alot of good tree guys that dont bother coming anymore... Naming no names.

Who knows what valuable contributions we have lost from those who felt they could not post.

 

I realise that I have come across as a bit argumentative at times, I am endeavouring not come across in that manor from now on.

It's a great shame if we lose some of the more experienced folk to the actions of a few idiots who chose to disrupt or be offensive.
