    boutselis the tree distroyer

    It is true. I am a destroyer of trees. I came across a small grove of mature trees and I cut down 22% of them. I slashed them and burned them and didn't even let the wood be used for anything necessary. I am an evil evil man. Don't ask me about the 88% of the healthy trees I didn't cut down. Don't ask me about the disease the 22% of trees I cut down had. Just know that i cut down 22% of the trees and made a hefty sum of money cutting them down and that I am an evil and horrible tree killer.

    If they were terminally ill, it was euthanasia. A shame it had to happen.

    Never thought of it that way. I'm even worse than I thought. And here I thought they were more like failing businesses than people.

    If you're just making a parallel, then ok. If there's some arboriculture to be learned here, fill me in after you've caught a few with your troll-pole.

    er not so concerned about your motives but a wee troubled by the math 22 + 88 =110%
    anyhoo I think I get what your rant is saying. I often get a spray from joe public when removing trees that just need to go. The ill informed will rush in making claims about your skills of arbor assesment its frustrating but trees do capture the minds of all and how they react to a trees loss can test your patience.

    I'm troubled by my math also. I'm usually a lot better at simple math than that.

    those 7's and 8's look so much alike, yea. i'll stick with that excuse.

    It actually has nothing to do with cutting down trees anyway.

    Your only defense is by saying you always give 110%
