Where Oh Where has our BT Gone

I'll give my take on this tree from the first pic which is what would be my front. The branch on the right should be moved up a bit to break up the evenness of the two. Give it a bit of an arch so that the tip still ends up relatively even with where the branch leaves the trunk. A few horizontal bends in the branches will help tham relate better to the curving trunk. Then wire every single little shoot into a flatter spread. Anything not wired should be cut off. Make sure the tips of all shoots point up for better budding. This could be a really nice little tree in a few years with just a bit of detail wiring.

Here's my "terrible tone" post after resubmitting it the next morning. It says exactly the same thing as it originally did but was left alone after calling attention to it in a thread that does not exsist anymore.

You got a deal Will I won't post there anymore since I'm such a bother. I respect that, but do you mind if I still swing by KNOB and AOB to surf porn?
 
LOL I'd just like to say that all I did was point out that there seems to be a double standard in place at AOB and KNOB. Theres a danger when the too-emotionally-invested have sole discretion as Editor.
Mr. Johnson,

As a founder and active editor at AoB and KoB, my privileges are exactly the same as the newer editors, that's policy and a damn good one at that. We have managed not only to put together content not available anywhere else, but also to be truly international with some of the best numbers out there. Not to mention redefining quality and also creating the best and most successful contests on the web.

I think I'll keep voting to continue doing whatever you do not like, as you have been a critic since the beginning and you have become a tool to measure how successful we are....the more you complain, the more we know we are on the right path.

AoB and KoB require polite intelligent, on topic discussion, you seem to always have a deep seated need to discuss the author and not the subject, sorry this is not and never has been allowed. So yes, we do have standards, maybe someday you'll be able to rise to that level, until then......

By the way, I thought you were coming to Michigan for the All State Show? I looked for you all weekend and thought you'd show up mas you claimed you were....I know my workshops were all filled up, but I would have made room for you. ;)

This is your revised post, quite different from the one that was removed. This was left because it focuses on the subject, the other was removed because it did not.

.....but do you mind if I still swing by KNOB and AOB to surf porn?
Whatever spanks your monkey......?

Will that post is exactly the same as the first one. But I'm not going to play your game. Enjoy your own sick little world.

No, it's not, but believe, or say, whatever you want, I personally do not lose sleep over it.

BTW, BonsaiTALK has still, not come back.

Is there a reason that this post was brought back from the dead?
The mayor of Baltimore said we would have time to destroy, I thought the time was ripe. Besides, those not privy to the past are doomed to repeat it in the present. If ever there was a blueprint on how to be an ass, this is it. I was looking for a thread of mine in search and this one came up in that search. I am providing an update to this thread, how people respond to it will be compared to that blueprint. Milehigh and Ed get it, you seem to want to make it more. Don't go down that road Vance it's not worth the effort. Show us that blueprint is outdated.
 
I'm still a mod on BonsaiTalk...well nobody ever told me I wasn't.

I really appreciate you standing up and taking responsibility for this thread Jeremy and for the demise of BT. For years we have all wondered who we should blame! ;-)

Hmmm.... maybe it is because this was before my time or I missed what caused Smoke to dredge up this old, old thread, but Im confused about why this thread was dug out of the muck nonetheless.
 
Seems to be a degree of this going around lately. If there is some hidden and esoteric meaning and reason for this type of behavior I would think it rude to with hold it from the less intelligent but equal members of this forum. There are few things that piss me off more than being condescended to from the view point of the King's New Cloths which is essentially what this boils down to when we get comments like: Milehigh and Ed get it, you seem to want to make it more. I don't want to make it anything but gone!

I believe the reason this post was brought back from the dead was to remind of my astute foresight in putting another fellow with the initials "W. H." on my ignore list, where he still remains. :)
