chilli

welcome to the forums and the meet akasha it would be great to see you here and there

I have given quite a few away recently, and am focusing on propagation again, but I will try and remember to bring a couple of bits for you migraineur.. don't worry about payment, I don't charge for weeds!

The way I read it, the context of that comment is a sarcastic satire of what he sees as being wrong with the way society sees women, so I read it as saying something like 'society says it is not okay for a man to be weak, but of course it is fine for women to be weak' Maybe whitewind can confirm how he meant it, and then things can move on, because it would be a shame if the discussion stopped moving forward over a simple misunderstanding that could easily be cleared up if everyone stopped judging each other's motives and accusing each other of being bad in some way (I know I am the worst at this, but that is what qualifes me to say it )

First you would have to convince him of his error.

As a good philosopher and critical thinker, I would urge you to rethink your rationale for deciding and instead adhere to one of the most fundamental principles of constructive argument and remember the Principle of Charity. Under such a rubric, you would choose 'honest mistake,' at least initially. If we continue to try to view racketemensch's response from this charitable perspective, it is easy to see evidence that confirms hypothesis B. To wit, whitewind edited his post, and the wording that racketemensch copied above could be easily misinterpreted as it is supposed to be sarcastic and satirical but the text contains no indication of this, which would usually be communicated via intonation and body language.

You know perfectly well that racketemensch just made a mistake. This would have been a great opportunity to gently point out his error and move on with the discussion. Instead, you decide to misintepret his post as wilful obfuscation just so you can argue. ;)

Did you go whitewind? What kind of stuff happened?

I was going to mention the follow feature, I think a lot of people probably don't know it's there.. ooh and now I am going to put a link to this thread in my sig like Freaky Chicken... okay that should do! If the thread doesn't get more followers I will upgrade it to giant letters in flashing neon pink, that should make people take notice....

Weather should be perfect! 30 and sunny, gentle breeze... http://www.weatherzone.com.au/region.jsp?lt=wzdist&lc=w00&d=3

(of course I accept all liability in the unlikely event the package is intercepted)

if you send to WA i can deposit the 500 for the crest right away !

cool! hey are you bringing the big banner Freaky Chicken?

GOT that is quite the image you've conjured there

lot's of people post to Perth, but as handy as used coffee grounds sound like they may be, I don't think you're going to have your door banged down for postage on this one... lol I just imagined someone offering this is the free ethnos thread it also brings to mind long ago exploits of foaf's sending ounces of weed wrapped in coffee through the post

heh, well at the moment I have a few growing from last year, and some seeds.. nothing very exciting. I meant to get some more happening this year, but keep getting distracted by cacti and acacias.. but yeah, i love chilli! dude, seriously? that is so cool!

okay, okay i get it.. you could have just said 'no chillis allowed'

at one school, everyone called me 'Doogie' because they reckoned I looked like Doogie Howser, M.D. We were cute kids, shame we both turned into such monstrous freaks.

Me and the heavily pregnant missus are still keen and planning to be there! We will be bringing some food and drinks, a few trades and a very sociable but slightly mad puppy! Weather looks perfect!

I have selected to be notified immediately of new threads in the trade forum, but I never have had a notification. What am I doing wrong?

nice giveaway man can someone enlighten me as to why I never get notifications for the trade forum, when I have subscribed to have them?

I didn't take this thread very seriously at first, I was thinking 'oh just great, it turns out balzac is crazy' but so far it looks like he is smacking everyone down?

If I was good at grafting, I would cut it up and graft smaller pieces.. maybe a bit bigger than a 20 cent piece.. by the look of it I suspect you might run into problems with rot if you try and grow it on it's own roots?

Haha I was about to say the but what species? it's obviously not geometrizans. I haven't seen any Myrtillocactus with spines like that.
