I thought the ACTION was unethical, not the people? I have been an a-hole on rare occasions, and have been called out for being so, but hopefully that doesn't make me an out-and-out a-hole
I also didn't agree with FM all the time, but he was a welcome voice!

I can actually understand why someone doesn't separate their actions from themselves, at least mentally. This can make some sense - it's the whole concept of responsibility. That said, I can't think of a time where you were out-and-out an a-hole, so I think you're being one right now and lying.
Anyway, it's all moot. Erick knows what I think of him. He's been one of my best friends since like 1996 or something. I've never met Corey, but I have tremendous respect for him too. What I'd said was a mistake, and I did apologize for it later. And if calling someone's ethics into concern is "vitriol", then I'm a son of a monkey.

I actually agree with those above who claim that these forums are "better" than many others I've visited. That, of course, isn't a strong endorsement for the quality of the discussions here, since most other internet forums I've visited (beyond those focused on a niche hobby, like bonzai growing, which I was looking into) are full of inflammatory and/or irrelevant posts.
If you want to look into bonsai I hope you check out John Naka's classic Bonsai Techniques I if you haven't already. It is a great book that I refer to all the time. I've had some bonsai for about 5 years now and took a class on it a few years back through one of the local bonsai nurseries here. Great hobby to get into especially when relatively young so you can watch your trees grow for decades.
Oh and you might appreciate this story if you haven't already heard of it, the Hiroshima Survivor Bonsai
