I'm not trying to be disrespectful (it must come naturally!), but I wouldn't want this to be the cause of someone's premature retirement. +rep to you both for effort and good will though.
I have pm'd Mrjdaf about this issue & am awaiting a response,im pretty astounded that somebody would do something like this,a real bad showing thats for sure,this entire site is flooded with children trying to grow weed in shoe box'es, in mommas closet, with stolen street lights,aluminum foil & cfl's, under a blanket & i get picked for attack on a tutorial i worked very hard putting together,a tutorial that is 99% up to 2007 code standards,a tutorial designed to help people get away from the dangerous shit i see everyday, like overloaded circuts & under gauged extension cords laying on wet floors,or 53 stupid ass cfl's stuffed in a dresser.
I admittedly left out a few very minor things from having this tutorial 100% up to code,i knew better right from the start,i really did, but after working on it for 5 hours the few minor things i left out turned around instantly to bite me in the ass,again i knew better,i tried to make this as simple as possible without giving bad advice where people could get hurt & for that i get accused of giving a misleading & dangerous tutorial that could kill people or is a fire hazard,i feel like shit,especially when the things i left out were so very minor to start with.
The bitch of it is that i'd bet money that the accuser is a tradesman like myself,im a dual card holding journeyman for close to 30 years & should have known better than to skip a single wire clamp, or to offer an easier (non code) wire attachment method in the hopes of making it easier on people who dont have alot of tools,i knew better,even though i over spec'd the gauge needed to compensate for any resistance issues i knew better, i just wish Mrjdgaf could have seen it to chill out & help fix the minor issues instead of blasting away with both barrels,something that has gotten way out of hand on this site as of late.
So the way it sits right now im tired as hell,even more upset that somebody would start this much crap over small-non life threatening & non fire hazzard issues such as is missing in the tutorial,if anybody wants to read up on code they will see how very minor the things i left out really are but once agwain i knew better.
Im going to take a break from rollitup for a while,ive had it,im just plain ole tired of fighting on a daily basis while trying to help people grow better weed,tired of fighting with children who are 40 years younger than me where i have to write 10 page essays explaining why they should blow a fan on their plants,tired of trying to help while otyhers scan the forum for the slightest inconsistency that they can rip into & make & fight over,tired of hearing the constant stream of negativity that flows through this site like a shit river,mostly from children who are not even old enough to be here,or from people who spend time looking for minor flaws to exploit.
This is not a goofy ass goodbye post, i just need an f-ing break from the negativity here,this is not how its supposed to be,it really isnt,when i return i will fix my mistakes by rewriting the entire tutorial in a manner that is 100% up to code & on the last page i will scan & post a copy of the 2007 code for my area to assure all that its not 99% perfect but 100% perfect,i will not leave out one single thing.
Right now i could not care less,if another tradesman wants to step in while im gone & correct the misakes feel free,you have my permission but right now im just too damm sick & tired of the constant bullshit to care anymore.
