No one misunderstand me here... I am not bashing "RIU" or the mods/admins. I'm bashing much of the advice offered on here...
The typical advice posted from many folks on RIU has gotten so bad.
I've tried to help out when I can. I mention with my advice if it is from a) experience b) something i read c) popular opinion d) university study.
For some reason I enjoy helping out here on RIU, and at my volunteer position with a certain county ext office. It's fun to talk shop and help people out.
I am no god of gardening though, and I do not claim to be. There are some areas I am experienced in and am happy to help. I do not claim to know everything and I do not tell people that their "OPINION" is wrong. Notice that word... OPINION.
But seriously. The posters who are typing up nonsense as advice to people looking for help is ridiculous. I like RIU. But I'm also sort of looking for a new site. It's getting filled with bullshit. I'm not sure if every site is like that. But RIU is definitely flooded with it.
Has anyone ever noticed that (aside from UB and a few) the people who go in to threads and say "you are wrong", "i am right", "that is stupid", etc etc... are just spewing bullshit hearsay cannabis grower bullshit...?
Then to make it worse... the people who are not nonsense ranting trolls do not have the desire to troll back. So the loudest voice gets heard and that voice is the clueless asshole telling everyone that his/her diagnosis is the only correct one and the other folks posting are idiots...
I'm glad I learned botany the old fashioned way before I ever even heard of sites like RIU. If I had not, my head would be full of so much bullshit nonsense.
So please... cocky 3-4 grow noob fucks posting like they are the fucking King of Cannabis... stop. Advising others is not a good outlet for an ego boost. If you speak from EXPERIENCE you will not step out of your real knowledge. If you repeat everything the previous generation of RIU trolls ranted then this will just go and on. Advising is not a good source for boosting your ego.
