If you leave or not is your decision. But just to compare. If you think gwe is somewhat "intolerant" you should check the other forums like icmag where people is very rude and offending each other. Maybe this is not exactly what you expected but I'll tell you now. You won't find a better place to learn. To me be referred to a link or be told where the info is is way better than being called a "dumb fuck" and being completely ignored. This place is a jewel it is just taking shape. Nothing is completely decided and will probably continue changing. If you want to leave we all respect that and will take your personal experience into consideration when deciding in the future. But if you want to stay you'll find this is a safe place to express yourself. No one will call you name or offend you. And in this crazy times that's a lot to ask from the internet. Thank you for sharing your concern. We all do care :)
 
As a new grower I really appreciate the GWE community, especially this forum.
Before posting here I spent close to a month reading the GWE tutorials to establish a basic foundation, then used the forums to refine and question what I learned.

I find this community to be outstanding, and like other forums, there are a core of members who apparently "know" each other and may appear like a "click" but still are very helpful.

At times it may seem a little frustrating if you ask a question and get no or minimal responses, but that is the same with any forum.

@nuggs...don't be too fast to leave....there is a lot to be learned here.....try not to take it personal....just go for the knowledge.
 
Hey Nuggs, another newbie here. I haven't even started my first grow yet!

A different perspective on responses that only supply a GWE link is: there is a LOT of info on GWE and finding the page with the info you need can be difficult sometimes. Maybe they're just trying to help you help yourself? I don't think you should automatically assume that person is looking down on you. And if they're linking to something you've already read, it's perfectly acceptable to say, "Thanks, I've read that" and then maybe rephrase your question.

In any case, it'd be a shame to leave over something like this.
 
Thanks Jeg for your interest--starting seeds later this week! I have a placeholder of sorts here that also asks for opinions, not that anyone around here has strong opinions on growing topics (yeah, right!).
 
How you do that blue here thing? You don't have to tell me if you don't feel like it. Pretty cool though
 
Cool guys you guys are the best and I have not received any negativity from anyone here. GWE has helped me get thru 2 harvest and I don't think I could have done it with out GWE so for that thank you guys very much. Either way I'm out I will just read the GWE and find answers on my own there if I ever need it. Like I said the answers are all there.. Hey maybe it's just me who knows either way GROWERS LOVE..
 
What I have seen on this forum is that it depends how the poster state their problem.

Example. Title: HELP yellow leaves. Body of Post: Help leaves are turning yellow.

Same problem different post. Help needed Yellow leaves. New to growing and the leaves of my XXX strain are turning yellow. From looking thru this site it could be either XXX or YYY, just not sure. Could any one give some advice. My set is (lists complete set-up) . Here are some pics of the plants.

The first post is just lazy and shows the person did not even read how to post a question. I pass over this type of post. The second one, I think most everyone here on the forum will jump right in and try to help.

I think the post about reading GWE stemmed from the first type of post and not the second.
 
Every person on this forum was once- or still is - a newbie in growing or as a member. That is a fact. Anyone passionate about growing undoubtedly has that memory at the forefront of their mind. It is the opinion of that memory that groups the forum together and drives the forum to take the time in / out of their lives to help others, share their process & jerk each other's chains occasionally and the Admin is seriously on top of anything out of line.
i suggest if you feel excluded you reexamine that and not shoot yourself in the foot by leaving. Yes friendships are made here but since most of us are full grown adults it is simply that- I find the term "click" insulting and I appreciate newbies young and old.
Stay and make friends, post your grow and get info altho it won't always be spoon fed.
i am sure some people can't stand me, disagree with me, think whatever but the difference HERE is they have the decorum not to post it.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
wish you to remain but if not- Good Luck with all that you do.
 
I have only 3 completed grows so I am a newbie to this endeavor. and will be a member of GWE and this forum until they see fit to remove me.

I am sorry that you feel as if you need to leave this wonderful place. I have always been treated with respect and caring. If not for the tutorials here I would probably still be paying $15/gram for low quality bud. Personally I am one of those people who includes a link to what I consider to be relevant. For a couple of reasons, First, my brain is not as sharp as it once was (I say it's due to age, other people think I have smoked too much weed) so I will include a link so I don't paraphrase as I may screw up the meaning. So I just try to give people, what I believe to be the right answer. If it is an emergency, let us know.and we will do what we can.

Second, I have asked questions and received answers that were in direct contradiction to each other. I would prefer a link where I can see what Nebula's information is and if there is something I don't understand then I come to the forum for clarification. There are some 'professional' growers and a bunch that have been growing forever. When I have had misunderstanding of the tutorials they have set me straight. And yes I can be terse when it comes to answering a post, especially when I read a question that shows an individual has NOT even read the relevant material. I give them a link, so I don't say something stupid..

I will always prefer a link to the right info than to receive contradictory info. As has been stated above, I personally feel that God (or humans) helps them who help themselves. If I have slighted anyone or were disrespectful, I humbly apologize. That has never been my intent.

Again, I am sorry to see you leave, but I will continue showing people where the correct info is and don't give my opinion. Because opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and it is not always correct.

Take care and best wishes in your future endeavors.
 
Jeg, using [] instead of {}, type {url=URL GOES HERE}LINK TEXT HERE{/url}, with the link URL (that's the whole http://www.blahblahblah thing) instead of "URL GOES HERE" and the text you want to be able to click on instead of "LINK TEXT HERE".

Hopefully I didn't make that too confusing!
