Why SASKFARMER is banned from site.

[SASKFARMER3]

Just a note for some reason saskfarmer is banned from the site.
it must be that he sticks up for farmers and is thinking out side off the box.
Or he made the Chemical and Fert & seed companys mad so they thretened to cut off Agriville.
Some public post.

BEWARE!

thank you for clearing up the the fog and explaining the reason for your assisted exit. I never before understood the statement "thinking out side off the box." Clear concise comunication like that always eliminates confusion and miss-understanding. Again I say thank you.

Well I hope the powers that be reconsider. You actually bring a viewpoint that I think many might find interesting.
I would think it could have been due to how you presented your opinion? The problem with being overly agressive is it tends to turn some other people off and they quit the site...thus taking away their views?
Even though we have some people on here who go against the grain, I believe it is always good to hear all sides? You don't have to agree with them...in fact it can be all kinds of fun roasting them!
You wouldn't believe all the abuse I take over on the beef side, because I don't buy into the "tree hugger" group...but that is all right...I try my best to suffer in silence! And besides I have a fairly thick old hide!
Maybe if you tried to tone it down a bit agri-ville might reconsider?

cowman, 'pigs will fly' when you suffer in silence. LOL !!!

Emrald1, Amen to that{LOL}

I wonder if it has something to do with Monsanto. There was a discussion going on about Roundup vs Clearout41. I noticed a week ago this topic was missing from the topics area. Unless I'm blind and can't see it. Whats that all about????????

Cowman is more on the mark as to why certain threads and/or posts don't remain on the site. If you get the weekly update on what is new on the site, you may have noticed the following:

"The Agri-ville.com forums are provided for the purpose friendly educational discussion, to exchange ideas and gain new information from those who wish to share it. Please be respectful when making posts to any forum in Agri-ville and please take the time to read the Community Center Guidelines."

Cowman is also right when he states that good discussion is one of the intentions of the site and the chat rooms. I for one like to hear varying view points because it helps me to gain a better understanding of an issue. Problems occur when posts become personal i.e. attacking the person posting and NOT the idea and swearing is NOT acceptable at any time.

This is a public site where all views are valid, even though we may not agree with them. The aim is to bring people to the site to exchange information and dialogue.

It is great to see regular posters and brand new ones. Keep it clean and about the issue and there shouldn't be any problems.

Well first of all let me say I am somewhat shocked that some of you might see me as not being soft spoken and always benign and generous in my posts...whatever...I'll try to get over it! LOL
Now while I will admit I like the rough and tumble and I dearly love drawing someone in right where I want them...I think you should always leave the person an out? Sometimes a "Well you might be right, but" or "Okay, I can understand how you might think that, however" goes a long way to keeping the conversation civilized...and keeps the person posting...so you can get him later!
And I will admit over the course of a post while I am "educating" the misled...often I get a little gem of knowledge or am forced to consider how the other person thinks! And really isn't that why we communicate with other people?

Sorry I never new that this site was just for people who sit their and let the market and companys do what they want. The farmer is suppose to just lay down and take it. Well to me if that is what this site is all about then why would any true farmer visit it. And if it is ok for others to cut down Saskfarmer on a hourly basis for his views I guess then we really know who won! Congratulations Monsanto Bayer Cargil Agrium etc.
