Just wanna point out real quick, I didn't mean the "so what" to be condescending I just was literally asking what the big deal was, because I actually don't get it. And by big deal I don't mean this discussion I mean what's the big deal with Rachelle saying "infected" if that's what is wrong with the tree. Maybe she didn't want people to think they were responsible for killing it, sometimes infections are out of your control and it sucks when you lose trees that way. I was also replying to Dani at first, not you, but here we are lmao. But yeah I didn't understand why you guys were pointing it out like it's something Rachelle did wrong. Just because it's language you don't hear often doesn't mean it's worth bringing up as a criticism. Here, on a gossip forum. If you say something that could be interpreted as judgement, expect it to be taken that way because that's what 99% of comments here are.sd9008 wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2020 9:19 amYeah i got pissy because i made a simple statement. I said "i have never heard someone call a tree infected" I personally thought it sounded stupid. So then miss gardener comes in and says they can. I say well i still have never heard it referred to as that i think its stupid verbiage. She then could of left it be. Yet she decides to say So? Be condescending about the whole thing. So then i asked a few of my friends and my family to see if potentially i might be the only one in the world who hasnt heard a tree be called infected... i wasnt so i stated it. Again say nor have i - was just saying. Then she comes back condescending once again saying you+ your friends etc. I am a delight in real life but Miss Gardener was being condescending so yeah i got shitty to her. If it wasnt a big deal idk why she took all her precious time out to try to prove me wrong. Just because its a legit statement or a possibility doesnt mean that I have heard or that i think it sounded stupid af. I know trees can get infected. Like i said. But we just dont say those trees are infected. Like seriously get over yourselves. It was such a simple damn statement that i made.LB2018 wrote:I’m not even from this board and was just browsing and wow, you sound like an ass and are probably a nightmare in real life. She gets it!!!! She wasn’t saying R is a rock scientist or taking up for her at all. You just don’t like that R called it infected but that doesn’t mean it’s not a correct term. You are the one that’s incorrect and thinks your opinion carries more weight yet you wanna keep arguing and then just totally turned and got so ugly about it. Your opinion doesn’t outweigh fact. Go have a seat and think about why you communicate like a shitty teenager. You said oh my God drop it and fuck off and yet your response was totally unnecessary and Had no point just nothing but being ugly - that’s what kids do. You are one of those last word people and everybody knows they are the fucking worst. Surely, this problem INFECTS your real life too. I bet you are a real delight with such solid and healthy relationships.sd9008 wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 10:08 pm
OH MY GOD. Drop it already. Fuck off. Its fucking weird. I am aware that a tree could technically get infected Miss Gardener. Jesus fucking christ. I made a damn simple ass statement- back the fuck off. Im glad you have heard of it referred to. But typically in general people dont fucking say a dead tree is infected. They just call it dead. Holy fucking shit. I grew up on a fucking farm and lived in the woods. My friends as well. We all lived in the country and gardened too. We dont refer to dead trees as infected unless they have some weird shit growing up the side or something. A dried up dead ass tree is just fucking dead. Not infected.

And me saying me/my family+friends are gardeners wasn't meant to be all i'M a gArdNErr! I was just pointing out that maybe if you're not in a community of plant enthusiasts, that could explain why you've never heard anybody say it, that's all. If you are in a circle of plant people however then it's not uncommon at all. And maybe it's a cultural thing like I said. I wasn't trying to be a bitch about it, just staring the obvious.
Also I don't know why you're upset about me pointing out that you and your family+friends don't represent the entire world. It's not exactly a broad demographic. People from different communities have different ways of talking about things, it's not surprising that your community has a different vocab to mine and Rachelle's and like a million other people.
I'm over this whole conversation so I'll leave it there, I just wanted to pop in and clear that up, because I genuinely wasn't trying to be a bitch I was literally stating something I thought was obvious/factual. I don't really like having my words twisted and thrown back at me, not that really means anything here. It didn't need to be an argument and I wasn't trying to piss you off, it's not even really worth talking about let alone getting upset over, so sorry if anything I said was less than kindly worded.
