The funny thing is difficult people are really helping you in a way.  We can all use better skills at handling these pain in the #$$@.  Here is a good example:
http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=4835203

Why would Jon find it good to humiliate this guy?  Why would his sycophant approve and laugh?  Childhood?  Irrelevant.  There are numerous other examples going back years to show this guy has a real problem.

Keep it up Jon.  Everyone needs your help.  Critisize, attack, sarcasm.  Let us have it!  I suggest you belittle me for writing this.  Better yet.  Delete this post to prevent the inevetible puppets from defending your hostility.  Thank you.

Take it easy. This your first post as fig4bob shows it.
This is Fig 4 FUN. It is also 'Friends 4 Fun' OR  'Fun 4 Friends'.
You must have waited very very long for this opportunity of slip or seeming slip.
There is a sweet taste in forgiveness if required than one will ever find in seeking opportunity for revenge. So, rejoin just for sharing the fun.

Hi Figs4bob,
i realize this is your very first post after registering a mere few hours ago.

Some here on this particular forum have humor some also have been posting a longtime and have gotten to get sense of ones personality and some have even met in person on more than one occasion.

With that being said perhaps your pulling one over our heads and if not
well you might be in for a ride if you stick around for more than 1 post.
Its fun here and there is a serious side as well when its needed concerning figs and everything about them.

It's obvious you didn't have any friends while growing up!
You probably don't have any now. I can see that.

I would like to tell you what you can do with your comments, But I'd be stooping to your level and you are very low.

I know Jon on a personnel level. I will defend him as a friend.
And I am no ones puppet!

Hope you get that through your head.

OK,

I'm dense, but the link took me to a question of what one certain fig of three figs is the best.  Is that the right thread?

If so, figs4bob called lreiley a guy and she's a gal.  He called her difficult and a pain in the @$$!  And I can't see anything she did that warrants her being called by either name like that.

Yeesh already!

Ottowan, are you saying that figs4bob is a sham and is really someone else who has been here a long time?

Methinks I smell a spammer.

There are many possibilities.
- It could be a spammer with plenty of time at hand and now gleefully watching what he started
- It could be a disgruntled member who does not wish to use his normal membership name for such accusations
- It could be a past member with canceled membership who could not keep his anger in check any more.
- Or a friend of any of the above two who decide to mess the atmosphere on their behalf

A non-member casually reading posts here is not much likely to write such a post (in my view).

That's sad.

Unstable or bitter people are best ignored.   Fred

Fred,

Mind over matter.
We don't mind and he doesn't matter.

Akram,

He has to be one of the above.

This forum will continue to be a respectful and respectable place.

wow, remind me not to have a sense of humor in the future?

i guess i got the joke, but someone else didn't?

i guess i expected that any fig lover would understand the humor within Jon's comments?

and since when did i become Jon's minion?  i've disagreed with him quite a few times.  he's not godlike or anything, he's a figger like 99% of everyone else at the forum.

figs4bob, while i'm sure i already know who you are, i love you nonetheless, because you love figs.  i love anyone that loves figs, regardless of whether i agree with their demeanor, mentality or choices. 

i hope you have a great weekend!

I think figs4bob is trying insinuate that the original poster was unaware the the 3 varieties are the synonyms for the same plant (or so some say) and that Jon knew this and was trying to shame the original poster. These varieties could be different. My observation is that Jon's one word answer means that they're all yummy.

figs4bob, get a life and get off the witch hunt. I can only think of 2 former disgruntled members that you might be. If it is one of you, be a real man and stop hiding behind screen names. In my judgement, only a coward does a hit and run like that.
