and I feel that some people on here should refrain from commenting unless they can give some helpful feedback.
Negative feedback and impatience may make themselves feel better but it will not help with a beginners progress in this wonderful, crazy world of Bonsai
hm.. Yet .. Hm..
I do not agree. I think pretty much all feedback is helpfull, yet I see loads of people unwilling to accept said feedback, and getting annoyed.
Someone who wants to keep koi, and buys a fishbowl and goes to a koi forum asking for input on the worderfull container for the koi will also get burnt down. Same here. In order to proceed in a hobby, one should understand that there are basic requirements to the topic at hand. By not telling people that something is not the way to go, you only set them up for a fall later on.
Just as an example something I noticed today:
2) I have about 12 other young bonsai...
No, you don't.
You've got some tree seedlings or saplings.
They will be bonsai in years to come.
Seedlings, saplings, bonsai, aliens, whatever you wanna call them.
Also, we have gone great lengths to suggest new user how to use the forum, and avoid asking the same questions over and over again in
www.bonsaiempire.com/forum/general/11929-forum-etiquette. If that is ignored, over and over again, I think at a certain point we reach a state where a clear succint response is enough.
