I didn't want to take part in this, but once again someone put a silly joke about this person and I think that what you do guys is not funny and it is a bit ugly in fact, I'm sure that you punished this person enough, now please stop bulling and get on with your life. We are all grown ups and not stupid, we all can decide for ourselves what is good and what is bad for us and we are all here for gardening, not punching each other.
Thank you for reading this.
i have no idea what this is about or why its here ???
??? ??? ???
WHO & WHAT
Who are you talking about Natasha?
Sorry guys, it is only addressed to people who had an argument with sspauk and now mention her name as a joke in their messages without much reason.
Was the argument on this particular forum? I have not come across people arguing on A4all since I have been using it!
Yes, it was in this particular section of the site :'( that's why I posted my message here.
I'm sfraid you are going to have to be a bit more specific Natasha, I've had a quick look through everything that has been posted on here in the last day and can't find what you are referring to?
Is this the Surplus Seed Selling Person?
Just search sspauk
or jeannine's thread
.....what? Recently, like in the last 24 hours? :-\
The thing about being a veggie grower, which keeps us optimistic and (relatively) sane, is that our short-term memories are, blessedly, short ;D
If "this person" however, would care to post on their own behalf, p'raps we might address his/her problem? Otherwise I consider this post as 'trolling'...
:)
yes, I guess I have to be more specific, I was referring to the message posted by debster saying that "normally i would freely advertise the address on here but wont cos of a certain person who could abuse it to make money (you all know who i mean) ....
and no sspauk you cant have them lol "
I think that it does sound hurtfull and also sspauk swapped seeds with many people on this site (she made a list of them) and nobody said that she is selling their seeds, there was also a list of people who got seeds from her without sending anything in return. However there is no evidence that she offered to sell anything to anybody here on this site, she was offering a swap. There are a couple of people who give their business links in their messages, but so is it worth to drive the person off the site and attack him/her because you are suspicious that the person grows too many varieties for one household? I thought that her list is impressive and I can also believe that a person who does gardening for many years can collect such collection.
Well, Natasha. if you'd like to contact sspauk (thanks Tim, you've made her screen name easy to remember 8)) and have a spare water butt to spare, I'm sure that she'd be up to swapping all of her "impressive" list for it?
Just a thought, like....
Me, all I've got is a large bag of popcorn... ;)
Natasha if you dont like my post I am sorry but every thread i opened in the swap shop contained a message from sspauk asking for seeds, in many asking for all the seeds that were left over.
the contact details i were supplying were for a charity these people were suppling seeds free of charge and i did not want anyone to have the opportunity to make money out of them.
If Dan has a problem with my post them I am sure it will be removed.

The post you are referring to was posted on March 15th, which was in the midst of the debacle surrounding this persons posts. You will not be able to see any of her posts now and get the whole picture because they have now been removed, including some that were completely offensive to specific forum members. Enough
is enough, and you are correct that forum members are entirely capable of interpreting the posts and motives of people for themselves....
I think the problem has occurred because my post was bumped up because
a) a couple of people requested the address
and
b) I added some more seeds on there, so Natasha you are the guilty one for restarting this my comment was made days ago!

Yes, of cause I'm the guilty one, this is my normal state in life and I apologise that I thought it is a fresh comment.However I still think that things could have been handled piecefully, without marching with warnings and getting back at each other.
Yes,enough IS enough...........let it go.......I see no point in starting a whole new thread about this unfortunate and upsetting incident for whatever reason especially in the Swap thread, it has been put to bed and I suggest that is where it stays.
XX Jeannine
apology accepted Natasha, now lets all start again as friends hey ? ;D

yes, we are friends and from my side we were never anything else. :)
Sounds a good way forward to me.
Being on the receiving end of more than one sharp stick on occassions, I know how it feels to try and put things right.
Things happen or are said or taken not quite as intended and before you know it it's getting out of hand. Me thinks the air has been cleared and that's good.
Let's forgive, forget and get back to being friends, eh?
(If we keep arguing we'll all end up with a face like this....)

I am locking this thread.
As someone pointed out the row has blown over, I am dealing with the person involved.
No more need be said about it.
