    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Can my vote be redacted? 
    I was not of sound mind at the time, and didn't check that only one answer could be voted for. Now I'm of slightly sounder mind, I think I ought to quietly extract myself from the human race, on the basis that I don't meet the desired requirements.

    @rowlandscastle444 … if not a human would you  rather be a tree … should we visualise you as an Ent perhaps?

    looks like pathetic, attention seeking behaviour. 
    I hope it blocks me

    My favourite colour is also green. We all see the world in a different way.
    @Hostafan1 Your comments are a reflection of your behaviour too. Totally unnecessary.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Maybe not an Ent (which, by the way, I had to look up, not being into Tolkien). 
    Although my bark is worse than my bite!!

    I think it's worth reading the person's profile and their other posts @GardenerSuze.
    Clearly something strange going on, and if you look at the final bit about another poster - I'd be worried.
    This thread was a red flag https://forum.gardenersworld.com/discussion/1072224/bearded-iris/p2 

    I reported, asking the mods to look at all the posts. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    IMO, whatever one might think of a rude or difficult poster, if we resort to their language or tactics, we are no better than they are. 
    Think it, yes, but isn't it a better example to find a polite way to describe them?
    Forum members ought to show a greater level of maturity than those they are trying to discipline or expel.

    Edited to add:  It is far better to educate and change people for the better, than use a heavy stick.
    I'm sure I'll get berated for these comments!
  • Might be worth taking a minute before piling in. Yes poster/comments look odd, Rather than state the obvious on their thread and be rude I looked at their YouTube and have come to the conclusion it’s just a kid so have decide to ignore rather than do what some others have.

    I’m pretty sure you’re right @Emptyheadtime … it appears to be someone quite young … I imagine that if we don’t add fuel their threads will run out of steam before long.
