My new friend with a few posts, this is the Science section. We who inhabit, take it a bit more seriously. So, we are funnin' you at the form of the question.what do you mean what a idiot ?? i asked the question the second guy decided to give me a mutual answer and you decided to take it the wrong way , dont answer the question if your going to be like that , ive had soem good comments off you from other post , but not in the mood to hear that off you , im in finance difficulty , which i think were all are hence the growing , so if im a idiot so are you , and the troll thing wdf lol dont get high on your own supply ....
Question AK..can you think of any other time someone has run across "free" gas and "free" electricity, and wants to make money with it.. but refuses to grow with it.. bringing this up on a growing forum? I do understand that the tech/science section is much more open, but 2 or more braincells to work through this in my eyes would say that it definitely does not compute in any fashion.i understand why people might be a tad bit upset at this question, and i understand RIU has been somewhat rampant with idiot trolls latley. but lets please give this gentlemen the benefit of the doubt until he at least starts to actually troll, and i know the question could very well be the start of the trolling,but as i said, lets give some benefit of the doubt.
in other words, lets keep it a little more civil, polite and nice here, i would really appreciate it, thanks guys. (im not tlaking to all the posters here, some were very very polite, others however, automatically go into troll defsnse mode, lets try to not jump to conclusions so fast gang, keep RIU a chill place, hostility toward new members not only makes that member feel unwelcome and likley never to return, but when one of his friends ask him about a forum he can go on and learn more about growing, i highly doubt hes going to recommend a place where he was called a troll for asking a relativley simple question, again, lets just try to be a tad more welcoming gang, i apologize if i made anyone feel like they were singled out, not my intnetion, im talking to everyone as a group, later.
First explain how these things are "free" to you, when everyone else has to pay for them, and then it will be possible to answer your question.other than grow ... how else can i make free money from these free things or set up somthing to generate money,
just dont want it to go to waste
i completley understand your point, and can respect why you feel that way. however there are a few things I would like to clear up.And there are big assumptions to his post. When you turn to growing in desperation for money and then assume, those are the reason we are here.....desperate for money and that's why we grow....off on two wrong foots already.
He didn't start his posting in Science and it was moved here, in what we call at work, a pawn off. Let Science guys deal with him. Howling desperation is ugly and unfortunately is all this culture teaches these days. Gone is the teaching of self reliance, IMO.
"he was called a troll for asking a relativley simple question," NO, but this is what he said.

So, (1) no offense. (2) you are a bit off base and sort of coming from out of left field, seems to me with a content free lecture
(3) I sense a bit of condescending high horse in the tone of your comments. I for one would appreciate if the moderators would do their tasks and not engage in pawn off. The guy should have been sent to a jobs board. Instead he was pawned to us.
And I don't agree with a moderator who comes like Sunday school after it is all over. The guy didn't ask a simple question. He asked for a loaded pity party, and was sent to Science, where we have no pity like that. And we have no answers for those desperate to invent money. The entire thing may have well been a troll for all you know, right?
So, leave off. RIU is hardly a chill place. But, everyone responds to real, I see, even if they don't feel "chill" about it. As far as I'm concerned we probably did the guy a favor. Tough Love. Free Money from wasted energy?
It cost $100s to get the energy to waste.
I didnt realize i was 'preaching to the choir, defending any action or making excuses.' I thought i was just offering my 2 cents about how I see alot of threads latley with alot of just plain mean and nasty shit...im just giving my opinion on how I feel, it wasnt and is not a defense for anyone to use for asking dumb questions, like i said, just my 2 cents, bein a mod has nothing todo with it, at all. I consider myself a peer to you, I have no more privledge or higher standing here than you or any other normal member, because that is what i am. just voicing my opinion, my post shouldnt be considered any more important than any other persons post on this forum.Well, apology is never necessary for me in forum. And the job of moderating doesn't include preaching to the choir, defending any action, or excuse making, with all due respect.
Slamming the barn door to teach the horses to get back inside?
That never works. And, no offense again, but I'm reminded of the story of the path to hell being paved with good intentions. I gave clear and present feedback to you as to how it struck me. Explanation, doesn't change that.
Good luck with the chill? You haven't read back to the parts where my hide was actually blistered here in Science?
And for my own good, I add.
Of course we are not arguing. I think that's true what you say. And talking with the big cheese here, moderating is all duty no fun. But, it's about what you moderate. And, come on, you did chime as a moderator.I didnt realize i was 'preaching to the choir, defending any action or making excuses.' I thought i was just offering my 2 cents about how I see alot of threads latley with alot of just plain mean and nasty shit...im just giving my opinion on how I feel, it wasnt and is not a defense for anyone to use for asking dumb questions, like i said, just my 2 cents, bein a mod has nothing todo with it, at all.

There are Cultures that value arrogance, above all. You just don't speak the language. You mean stupidity. No culture that I know values the truly stupid. (not the unfortuante or broken)Well, I think you guys scared the op off. It appears you got your wish. Now he will prob. go blow himself up or electrocute himself cuz he is too scared to ask any questions. Good job guys
It seems explaining why these things are a bad idea would be a better route than calling him a fool, dumbass etc,etc.
Arrogance is disgusting in any culture. Regardless of IQ.
Are you suppose to be moderating behavior? No.
And sure we are peers and I'm a long time senior manager of forum as a profession in the Computer biz. I'm going to say it again. Behavior can't be modified by coming after, with corrections and reminders. And I'm quite sure I would not include normal bickering and talk something you should moderate.
And you seem to want to have it both ways, but you can't.
So, does my icon say moderator? Your does. Don't forget.
Ummm. ok. Who is preaching?There are Cultures that value arrogance, above all. You just don't speak the language. You mean stupidity. No culture that I know values the truly stupid. (not the unfortuante or broken)
To me the true stupid is the one that refuses to learn. No value there at all. This board has over 1/2 million members that come and go.
So, to me you also are preaching.
No offense, but this IS a marijuana forum... Expecting a "sci & tech" sub-forum in a ganja forum to be whole hearted in terms of discussion is a bit far fetched.Well, I think you guys scared the op off. It appears you got your wish. Now he will prob. go blow himself up or electrocute himself cuz he is too scared to ask any questions. Good job guys
