This IS ARBORISTsite!

[Mastermind]

For for guys that think MasterBlaster's site is dead, you couldn't be more wrong. It's very much alive, and has tons of great info, all served up in a very respectful manner.

I'm a huge fan of cutting up, and am one of the worst for derailing a thread, but that sort of stuff has it's place. This site has an off topic area that's about dead now, the OT guys were asked to take their nonsense somewhere else.....guess what? They did. Looking back, I can see that there were some things going on that lead up to all that, and regrettably, I was in middle of it. We didn't keep OT in the proper place, it spilled over onto the rest of the forum. I learned something from that. That's one reason I felt like speaking up here. After reading this thread, I'm feeling bad for what I'm seeing here.

This is the "Commercial Tree Care and Climbing" forum, and there has to be a sticky titled "Enough of the Playground Namecalling"?

No ****? Really? Reporting posts to the moderators? Really?

I've got thick skin, I can handle it if y'all want to call me some names for saying what I think here.

His top is bigger than your top!

They let MasterBlaster back in figuring he'd generate some traffic, get more posts on the site, and increase the always important "numbers".

So far it looks like it's working. There's more quantity than quality but those numbers sure look good.

Feeling a little like a tool, Butch?

Jared why don't you go work on your broken down junky equipment. Seems like that's all you do. I heard about your 30 grand truck that you bought. Might been better off buying my truck for 13 and not have to stick thousands of dollars into it right away.

Yes it is there were three of them. Maybe the camera angle makes it hard to see

Oh no Jared don't call the weight police on me. What tree are you talking about? The last job I did with Ben I didn't even climb. If I had said anything bad about Ben it was probably true unlike the garbage that's spews out of your mouth. You're a (Edited by mod) Great guy!(/edit)!

Damn! I just read this whole thread. You guys are funny. I was .

With respect to arborists on AS? Perhaps we should have a "Real Men" forum where you tough guys go have at each other. Myself, I have fun reading a good fight-thread, but I really don't prefer the atmosphere where civil behavior is almost discouraged.

Once upon a time, the Commercial Climbers area was where I went to learn about newer techniques, to see & learn about the kind of work other companies were doing, and to occasionally argue about some arcane technical point, like how to fertilize trees, or what is the best approach to some disease treatment. Those sort of conversations seem to have disappeared entirely, and the folks whose knowledge I greatly respected seem to have followed that trend. I think that was MasterBlasters point when he started this thread.

I don't know how to run a website so that the higher quality posters keep coming back, but I have a suggestion: instead of banning everyone, perhaps just move any thread that devolves into a cat-fight down to a forum where fighting is encouraged or allowed. Then...folks that wish to go read all the bickering and name-calling will be able to do that. And those that don't want to dredge through the mud can find the topics they are interested in.

Myself, I completely quit posting in any of the forums except for the WTF thread and a GTG thread when I felt that I had been treated wrongly by a moderator. It didn't help that the quality of the content in Commercial forum had been declining for quite some time. I have started poking around in Arb101 and Homeowner forums now that my past "sins" are not brandished in my face every time I log on, so perhaps other folks will start coming around also.

Also: does anybody know what that lurker label is all about?

You can change your lurker label if you so wish
