It seems I've been effectively banned from this site.

Hey @Willber why don't you take this opportunity to tell us about your background. What is your education? What jobs have you held as an adult? Where have you lived and how did you come to tree work? What experiences have you had that shaped you? You come off as pretty weird and more than a little bit like a know-it-all so please help us understand where you're coming from.
 
@Tuebor You laugh so readily at my comment, have you talked to survivors of the Holocaust?
The Jews and Catholics have been feuding for centuries, and culminated before the beginning of WW2.

I try to think critically about things. How do I come off as pretty weird? Why because I'm a bit unconventional?
Because I don't see the need for a helmet unless it's really needed. And, question the seemingly reiteration of climbing rope designs, in the arborists market.

How do I come off as more than a little like bit of a know-it-all? Because, I stated, working in unison was fast for me and my worker, dismantling two smaller trees with a lift? I never stated it would be unquestionably faster for others, it was just something that may not be for others. Most others on this forum unquestionably dismissed it as, implying, it was not faster.
And, you and many others implied I'm a know it all, bring up an idea, yet many here dismiss it, without trying to constructively think about it. Oh, the irony.

But, like every place there's, always groupies, with herd mentality.

You discourage people from thinking unconventionally? Why? Because, it causes one to think outside of their complacency?

If you're ever bored read my "Documenting my sewn eye process" thread. This place (the Buzz) is made entirely of interesting and often unconventional and innovative persons. This is not the home of herd mentality, not at all.

I'm sure I've had many interactions where my impression of my behavior/actions/communications was markedly different from how I was perceived by others. I think it's normal to expect some variations since everybody's different and some folks mesh and some folks don't. But if there's a consistent trend, you have to consider what's the common thread.

When someone makes the effort to de-escalate and bridge connection, you choose defensiveness and accusation.

Interesting

So, after some thought, I realized that in a very specific set of circumstances I could see choosing the same thing you did with the lift. You may have received more openness from others, too, but…

Your tone in most of your interactions are very closed. You ask for everyone to be open to your ideas, but you are closed to ours, because many of them contradict yours. We often receive the reflection of what we project. If you are only getting closed, opposing views, consider that perhaps you are presenting the same to others.

Read through some threads of interest, and observe that many here exhibit toward others much of what you want to receive. Ask yourself why you don’t seem to get that side from them. If it exists in some interactions, you can’t claim that someone is completely closed to new ideas.

Perhaps they’re reacting to something you’re doing, and that’s why you aren’t getting the openness you desire. Perhaps you are getting our openness- displayed through giving of our time to share perspectives on cordage and jobsite operations that we feel could add value in your pursuits. Perhaps it just doesn’t look like the result you anticipated.

If my toddler is obsessed with receiving a quarter, he’s likely to cast aside the ten dollar bill I give him. Any of us can be so fixated on a desired or predicted outcome that we miss the actual outcome.

We’ve all done it. What happens from here will be what matters.

When I click the link to these forums in Google, it takes about 1 whole minute to load, sometimes it won't even generate, (all other sites load as usual), then when it does load an "Oops error" pops up. I don't know why I was banned, maybe because I mentioned the Jesuit connection. It started not long after me mentioning the Jesuits, having a hand in many world atrocities.
I wonder if there is Nazi Sympathizers... hmh, I mean Jesuit Sympathizers that have restricted my access to this site.View attachment 80629

OMG WTF?

Are you fucken joking? If you were banned you wouldn’t have an account. If you were skating the line you would have likely gotten a slap on the wrist first from the mods. If you really fucked up you would have just been straight up banned without warning.

This site isn’t a cash cow to keep running, there are some high traffic situations where shit bugs out. It’s gotten a bit better over the years.

None of the mods would take the time or care to specifically single you out just to throttle your account to passively ‘punish’ you.

The very notion of this post is entirely offensive in nature to the mods (aka owners, aka Tom and Mark) some of the most stand up and TOLERANT folks here. Go throw stones at your own windows

Lol, really funny. But also not funny at all: that infers the Jesuits have divine purpose, which couldn't be further from the truth. Their purpose of institution was/is to stomp out protestantism/christianity at any cost.
The Jesuits were the precursor to the Nazis. Whom the Jesuits created, to try to wipe out the last bit christianity in Europe.

This assumes god is real and all tree people have a Devine purpose

Very much well said and very accurate. I’d like to point out “When someone makes the effort to de-escalate and bridge connection, you choose defensiveness and accusation.” Is just another attempt which historically has been a lost cause of bridging a connection.
I admire you for taking the time to write this articulate thought, which is entirely accurate, but likely will just end in the never ending cycle of ego and victimhood.
 
I should edit the post about the possible inference of the admins and Nazi Sympathizers.
Sorry if I implied it.
I meant to state that someone outside of this site could be restricting my access.

De-scalate and bridge connections, by calling another wired and a more than a little bit of a know it all.
Oh, somehow I’m the only one who’s used accusations. Lol.
My tone is closed, how?
Because I don’t want to use ascenders at this time, I never said how you were wrong about the effectiveness of them.
You even stated here that, after some thought you could use a trusted colleague to operate the lift as we did.
And, you say, in a specific set of circumstances... and that’s exactly what I was stating, when I answered the first question in that thread! Reverse engineered projection.

There’s only been one thing I thought was closed minded, about the ones who had an implied rejective response to the concerted use of the lift.

So, I don’t know where your conjecture is coming from.

If you re-read my post, pay attention to the word choices. I said you come off a certain way, not you ARE that thing or that behavior. Things can be ambiguous or easy to take the wrong way when you're not talking to a person. My impression of you, based on the nature of posts like this and the way you have interacted in other posts is that you are seeking attention and have some sort of complex where you think you're a persecuted maverick. There are lots of smart people on this forum and lots of them are unconventional, but they don't act like you. Again, if I knew more about your background, your behavior may make more sense so if you have something to add, please add it.
 
I once had a coworker who was so vigilant about being out of the box that he was unteachable, argumentative, and eventually unemployed.

And our company was already decisively out of the box. The owner refused to buy into standard tree equipment and preferred to engineer his own.
