It's funny so many assumptions can be made based on so little. Seems there is no shortage of "experts" here. Is funny how I have been doing tree work for 5 years but all the sudden I will be gone next year. It's also funny how year after year the same people hire back "a uncertified hack" but if you'd fix your crystal ball you'd know that. I personaly don't have a crystal ball and therefore don't cast judgement or make oppinions on what I don't know. I'd send a $20 bill to the first person on here running me down who comes forward and says(and proves) he has actualy seen how I run business.
Until then I will be content to watch a bunch of folks make fools of themselves by commenting on something they no nothing of, Namely my business practises.

I'd post the details, but by the sounds of it over the last 5 pages everybody has appearently already figured out all that out, Or at least they think they have it figured out.
Does it bug you that I fly under the radar? If a person takes the time to educate themselves it's amazing what you might learn. If I was like most here and gave the impression of making large amounts of money, everybody wants their cut. Don't give the impresion of large amounts of money and people leave you alone and they will go after the bigger fish. More to it then that, but that's the general idea.
Maybe, But that's why you have a good tax preparer, to figure all the fine details out so if/when you get audited your a** is covered
I already answered this quite a few posts go.
Your comments reveal that you have no idea how to run a business, that you don't know anything about the tax law, and you cannot possibly know much about tree work if you prefer to use homeowner equipment because it is cheaper. Nobody is revealing themselves to be a fool, except that we all seem to be enjoying picking on the troll. {that would be you}
So! Here we are, mutually scratching each others back. You have a perverse need to irritate folks and make inflammatory statements; we oblige you by getting inflamed. We, on the other hand, like to pick on trolls and work out our aggressions on folks that ask for abuse. And here comes sodbreaker...
We not being trolled! We having fun picking on the troll.
I enjoy this stuff, and I won't pick on somebody unless they ask for it.

So if you are having fun getting worked up and by thinking I actualy care about the remarks of a person I've never met and more then likely never will..
I do not have a need to irritate anybody. And funny that you should say that. I'm not the one name calling. But I mine as well enjoy the show. A bunch of people who claim they couldn't care less, but yet they get all worked up. Kind of funny actauly

How are you posting in a commercial tree care forum, when you don't run a commercial business? Looks to me like the only commercial going on here is an anti-drug commercial.
You really believe in your heart the IRS has bigger fish to fry, post your full name and city, if you're scared, you can pm it to me too.
Jeff
You sir, have been called out...

I don't keep up on that kinda stuff. Which one got banned?
Jeff
Of course you don't care; that's why you are trolling. This is the same reason we feel free to unburden our negative opinion on you. We know you won't mind. Heck, you really have been asking for the abuse.
If you have no need to be making all these irritating comments, why are you doing it? I noticed when you quoted me earlier you deleted my accusation that you were enjoying the show.
I see that you are doing it again, too.

So how am I trolling? by posting the way I see it? If thats trolling then help us all.
Only enjoying it as much as those who obviously enjoy keeping it going. If I am such a "troll", which I'm not, but if I was as you and a few others say why are you keeping this goning which apearently is giving me just so much enjoyment

After you.... Your not "Scared" are you??
See! More trolling!
To answer your first question, I draw from wikipedia: "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4] "
Your first post suggests that you know it will be inflammatory: "Don't hate me, but I'll take trees down for less then $100...", after which, you go on to describe your inappropriate business practices.
Your second post suggests that paying for insurance will cost the homeowner 10 times as much. I would call that a serious error in judgement, as well as inflammatory.
In your 3rd post, you admit to trolling: "I figured someone who have a fit over my remark..."
Well into the dialogue, accused of providing an encore to your previous trolling efforts, you admit it: "I'm bored and need enterainment." {You could spend some of your spare time working on your spelling and grammar}
Well...Now I am calling you out for being a liar. You admitted to making comments because you were bored and were seeking entertainment, yet you deny it in the post quoted above.
In response to your second (poorly phrased) question, why are we (the bulk of the contributors to this thread) keeping it going? That's easy! I explained it all before, here and here.
Now quit pretending to be a stupid troll, wise up and take your whipping like the good troll that we know you to be.

To the extent that I am participating, that makes me a troll too.
My goal here is not just to be entertained, it is to WIN. I figure I have won when one of three things happen.
1. The opposition admits their faults and seeks a concession. This doesn't happen too often. Sodbuster had his chance earlier, and quietly didn't respond when I asked him to admit that he enjoys yanking our chain.
2. The opposition dries up and quietly goes away. This generally is what happens with folks that are not professional trolls, and are smart enough to realize that they keep getting whipped.
3. The diehard trolls never quit. Sometimes they realize that they are losing every logical argument, and they divert to name calling, inane rhetoric, or other types of responses that they think are a bit safer from attack. The rest of the time, they just keep going like the aerial energizer bunny.
I suspect that sodbreaker doesn't have the stamina that AA had. He is much more skilled than AA at deferring a point and simply issuing another troll. [see wikipedia for the appropriate definition of that usage]
So, Sodbreaker! Is today my lucky day? Do I win, or does the logical pummeling continue?

I'm not. Posted earlier, here is where the IRS can visit anytime they like: http://www.arboristsite.com/off-topic-forum/128850-683.htm#post3707726
The clock is ticking...
Of course, the IRS always did know where I am found. And unlike some people, I haven't been giving them any reasons to want to visit, either.
