This thread has become like a violent movie, with two sides: Side A attacking James and Side B Deffending James. Regardless of the side on this story, some points and concerns have been raised and I think are valid and need to be answered. I just wonder why James is not answering those valid concerns. I think that James need to answer them ASAP and he needs to be sincere with the people who bought from him, and he needs to be honorable to his word, because he swear to have weekly updates and we haven't seen that. More important, James you need to speak and to answer with the truth, because only that will stop this war on this thread.

We almost made through a whole day, let's try again. Let's give the thread a break. He will update when he can and no comments either way will change that. Weekly reports would be nice but it will not happen until he is ready, just a fact, just saying.

Lebmark you appear to have lost your manners somewhere so perhaps you need someone to remind you of them...whatever your problem is, I don't really care, this thread is supposed to be about figs and not about anything personal, there are plenty of things personal to you I could mention but I will not as that is not my style. If you have something you want to take up personally, you know where to find me. I will be waiting for you. In the meantime, take a midol and SHUT YOUR PIE-HOLE unless it is about figs or something I have mentioned here.

Rob_Steven, it's nice of you to jump right in with your first post asking James for an update ASAP using the word sincere. So how many trees did you order?
Last time I checked my yard all my trees in TX were dormant. Unless you're expecting trees to grow on your iPad by pressing buttons, give the man a break.
I don't know what happened to camaraderie. It's called a fig community but all I'm seeing is a shark tank.

I'm enjoying the figs this year I got from James a year or so ago. I look forward to more. The cuttings he sent were awesome, and super fresh, all rooted very well.  They produced first leaf too, very impressive. Looking forward to my next order of trees this time. I know it's been awhile, but no big deal.  Thanks again James! What you're doing here is so awesome, good luck with it, and if any of us can help out in anyway let us know.

I'm not defending anyone. I happened to be one of the ones that don't mind delays. If you ordered anything and have a problem with delays you could write James and ask for your refund. It's that simple. Now if you wish to discuss figs then welcome to the forum.

rafaelissimmo, I do think willy owns a forum to defend himself, I think he already did...he does not need a nice lawyer (oxymoron) to defend him...and he is not the nicest to defend...never believe in somebody who licks his spit

Lebmark you appear to have lost your manners somewhere so perhaps you need someone to remind you of them...whatever your problem is, I don't really care, this thread is supposed to be about figs and not about anything personal, there are plenty of things personal to you I could mention but I will not as that is not my style.

rafaelissimmo, I tried to take your advice, but I see you did not take your own Advice , so why should I, Please compare what I said to what you said and you as everybody else will realize who has no manners...I thought I was advising a friend not to be associated with people who do not respect their word , you an old timer you should remember the butcher table topic that he was going to donate the proceeds to the Forum,how he used it as Marketing Ploy for his craftsmanship, and then he changed his mind. People from the same feather flock together,but you do not take constructive criticism very well...maybe you do not think of me as a friend...one more final advice...I  always advice people to not Drink and drive but in your case I will go one step further and will advice Not to DRINK AND WRITE...

Lebmark,
Some people are so good at advising others and think their crap doesn't stink . They simply don't realise how their actions upsets other people who cares or thinks highly of them as a good friend. I would say just ignore such back stabbers and those who talk bad of you to others. They won't even hesitate to create a fake account just to humiliate others.

shows the difference between single wall and inflated double wall polytunnels. Hopefully James was able to get his walls inflated prior to the cold snap. If not it's not too late to do it now. It's not that expensive to do if he already invested in two layers of poly, and will save a lot in heating costs.  Inflating the double walls would also make the hoophouses sturdier in case of a future major wind or snow storm.

Thaifig...

Imagine you are running a retail store, and your competitor have a person in your store telling your customers the store across the street have a better product...
you are not hiding the fact that you are A FIG MERCHANT...trying to dissuade customers from buying from James on his page ...again that is not KOSHER...and Again NOT NICE

ThaiFig,

 I do not care what you say your reasons are, I care what are you are actually doing...you did not buy figs from James, but you always trying undermine his business and remind us or future customers that he did not deliver yet...

you know by now that people who bought Figs plants, most of them are sticking all the way...so you are working toward new customers not to buy from James...

so Do not give us the usual Crap that you mean well...you do not...

I hope you are not being compensated by Fig merchant from the states...to do his dirty Job

Thai fig,

I stand with LebMark on this matter.

But for the sake of the forum can we agree to wait until spring?


Then, if trees do not start shipping, you can gloat...untill then you are seen only as an interloper.

I don't know how different individuals define a friend. For me it's not that complicated . If me and you chat regularly on Facebook or Skype yes I will consider you as my friend or a Facebook or Skype friend or a friend who I have never met. Nowaydays couples meet each other on the internet. Like me replying to you now although I'm not obliged to, but I somehow care to do so. Now that's my way of thinking and I'm not forcing any individuals to consider me as a friend. Did I used to think highly of this person? YES. But why am I upset ? Because I felt betrayed and it really piss me off. I'm not gonna say any names or further details here . But I also like to add something . One shouldn't bark about morals when they don't know the meaning of it.
Cheers

Alan from the beginning never did anything but badmouth everything I said.
He could not compete, not with rooting or anything else.
He was always the jealous one. That is why he stated rubbing it in his face.
We never chatted or anything.
You are just bringing alans drama back to the forum.
Please mind yer own, it has nothing to do with you
Drop the drama huh kkk?

My reply was to Lebmark not to you and I wasn't talking about Alan. I have access to more Fig varieties than you guys could ever dream of in Europe, so I don't need to bring any drama . I was just telling the truth. I personally don't know you, we never talked or never did any trade. Basically you just chimed in and asked questions . Are you talking on behalf of someone? So who is creating the drama ?.

For crying out loud would you people please stop sniping at each other? The topic is the offer from James of $7 fig trees. His character has already been hashed out in this thread and it has gone both favorably and unfavorably. Any more about it from the same few people over and over is just repetitive and does nothing to add to the topic. On the contrary, it is dragging the forum down.

I have a few bucks in this and am hoping for the best.
I started with a very short variety list and kept it that way, never to be greedy.
I'm still in it for the long haul...
The one good thing that I personally will take from all this negativity is that
I know exactly who NOT to deal with in the future...

TEAM JAMES!!!
