GMO'd Vegetable seeds?
just joined... reading a few threads and came across Indy's inappropriate comment... maybe DG ought to let people read a few FULL threads before they ask for money!! as i certainly wouldn't have paid!
Pomendrupe, the post you're referring to is indeed inappropriate and will probably be removed soon. DG's terms of use don't permit this sort of message. Please stick around and explore a bit; you'll find that people are usually friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. This is my go-to site for questions about vegetables, poultry, and a lot of other topics. Welcome to Dave's Garden!
Would you people quit using this thread. You wanted a new one so go there!!!
What IS your problem? You don't get to decide who uses what here. Someone posted a legitimate observation and I responded. I'm sure this British poster is really impressed with us now. Thanks for making DG a welcoming place for a new member.
As most of you on this thread know, we have relaxed the old rules about no political discussions here at DG, with the understanding that our audience is typically mature and responsible enough to handle themselves in a polite and respectful way even with touchy subjects. None of us wants to go back to the total clampdown on political discussions (and Melody and I certainly don't want to spend the majority of our DG time policing threads for infractions.)
But as this thread points out, there are some hot topics that are difficult to discuss without getting people's "dander" up. If you are one of the folks who crossed over the line, please be aware that we can - and will - impose sanctions on members whose conduct does not meet our Terms of Use and community standards.
And before you point your finger at the "other guy", everyone needs to consider whether your own comments fueled the fire. You probably think you are totally in the right in your position here...but so does someone whose opinion is in direct opposition to yours.
I'm locking this thread to further comment. I am now following the new thread, and I will edit and issue warnings as necessary, but as a participant in this discussion, each of you has an "edit" button beneath your name on every post you've made. Make it easier on everyone and go back through the next thread and edit your own comments if necessary.
Terry
Quote from ERNIECOPP :
But one of the major underlying problems with food labeling is the economic fact that only a few thousand people want it labeled, but the rest of the 130 million people have to pay for it. I forget the exact estimate, but it was millions and millions of dollars it was projected to cost, just in California, but the supporters missed the chance to step forward and offer to pay for what they want. They want all of us to pay for something they want, but we do not feel the need for.
Exactly. This is exactly the point I made in another thread. Let those that want it pay for it.
I also want to thank you, as well as CountryGardens, RickCorey, Farmerdill & rjogden for bringing sanity to this thread.
