Anybody know this Turkey?

[Katharine]

Hey Everybody,
I just got a nasty email from a "turkey" with this email: [email protected] and was wondering who the coward was, that is hiding his identity, with the nerve to call what my family and I are doing a bunch of "yuppie CRAP"?

Shame on me for posting our web-site/email address, but I guess there's no accounting for the idiot's in life!

P.S.- To the TWITT who owns that address, if you've got the cahouna's to write something like that to a person and attack them unprovoked, then you should still have enough cahouna's to sign your NAME to it and OWN it, lest you've already been "nipped"! LOL

The link diddnt work for me but I have a real problem with people pulling that stuff. Some you know what and good old GeorgeKy got into an argument about redneck engineering a while ago and I posted a link.

I dont care if I like it or not if someone is enjoying the way they live there is no chance Im gonna argue about it none the less flat out attack them about it. I know some people have argued with those of us on a few acres but they never stayed around long enought to hear us defend ourselves.

Katherine, this guy is a chicken not a turkey

 

[georgeky]

Lanse, I don"t remember what you are talking about, but don"t doubt it a bit.

 

[phillip d]

sounds like work of cowards to me

 

[Alex-41JDb]

Thats a shame. Cowardly. Checked out your website and the ol" ford sure is puffing a lot of blue smoke. The all natural looks really goog though.

Well, here's what Frank in Cleveland, GA just had to say to me:

Well, I gotta admit that I don't have a clue what you're talking about, but one thing is clear. You seem willing and eager to crawl down in the mud with the others and have it out in a war of ugly and nasty words. And then you quote some poem referring to the Lord while you're doing it? I don't think he'd approve of your way of dealing with it to be quite honest. Just my two cents.

That email address was in a post to the garden tractor board on this site back in June:

"Posted by Frank Thiel on June 12, 2007 at 20:38:11 from (69.40.26.234):
Hey Dude 11, did you ever find a brake band for a sears surban? If you still need one shoot me a Email. [email protected] Frank in Ga. "

Wasn't there something in that book that references "Judge not lest ye be judged"?

She received a junk "anonymous" email and is not happy...Blindsiding is not kosher no matter what your religious affiliation.

It's an E-mail. Save your life for important stuff.

The world is full of jealous people, and there are many who like to cut other people down. Instead of doing something worthwhile with their lives, they are on the internet posting that kind of trash, says alot about them doesn't it?. To me, it doesn't matter if you only have 10 acres or 1,000 to farm, you do about the same thing, only the small timer does it on a much smaller scale.

 

[Walt Davies]

OH Hell! Katherine why not just admit that you are a Yuppie growing Yuppie food and then let him know that you are very proud of it.

Hey that Yuppie Garden of yours looks a lot better than mine did this year. Keep up the good work.

All I see is a gal real worked up over nothing much at all, calling people names & then trying to bring God into it after all that.....

Seems like you are are trying to get even, or have some spite - might want to see what God has to say about that, if you are so inclined to follow Him.

Be like a duck, water off your back, what's to worry about? If an idiot calls you names, be happy - means maybe you aren't an idiot.... Be worried if they start _liking_ you.......

Don't understand the deal.

Breathe. Take the blood pressure pills.

Enjoy life.

[Frank in Ga.]

Go ahead and call me all the names ya want,I"m thick skinned , I guess I"m just a Politicaly Incorect old fool speaking my mind,I"m just responding to your thinly veiled attack on modern farming pratices in one of your news letters on your web site.If American Farmers of all types practiced Organic Farming, (ie. in my opinion another name for subsistance farming ,) we would be just another 3rd world starving country,Thank God For American Farming. Just my Opinion. Frank. Ps Why did you send a pleasant reply in my Email Then attack me on Here??

 

[Tradititonal Farmer]

Good Advice

 

[Tradititonal Farmer]

Actually you are incorrect organic methods have proven to out produce chemical based methods and with the price of petroleum going up organic is becoming more cost effective all the time.

 

[rrlund]

Boy,after that comment about castrating rams last week,I should stay away from this as far as I can. I just want to say a few things as a level head trying to keep the peace OK? I haven't been to your web site,but if you are making unfounded or misleading comments about modern production agriculture,I just wish you'd stop. There is a growing market for natural and organic products without slandering methods that are necessary to feed the world. For those of us who grew up without modern ways,who've cultivated crops for days on end all summer and still had a fraction of the crop that we can grow now,I can tell you,your way doesn't siut everybody. I'm too old for that stuff anymore. So,respectfully,sell your product to your niche market proudly,but please don't mislead the public into thinking that the rest of us farmers don't care about public health and want them dead for our bottom line. Still friends?

So you have a small organic farm with a nitch market to make a living on....Thats great and im very happy and proud of you.
BUT its the modern farms with the big equipment, chemicals and just plain savey operators that produce the bulk of the food.
Its just the way it is and you cant stop technology.
Just keep doing what you enjoy and what works for you and dont worry about the rest.
PS and i also enjoyed your web sight...Good job

 

[Tradititonal Farmer]

Of course don't forget the big gov't check and cheap loans from taxpayers that keep chemical based farms going.There are plenty of large organic farms making a profit without gov't help.

You bring up a very good point about AG subsidies payments.
I live on a wt. farm up here in dakota and i can tell you i do not like subsidies one bit either but it has guaranteed a steady supply of food for the US and for the world at a very reasonable price and also to keep exports going to somewhat help the balance of trade.
I do not know what line of work you are in or what you do but i would be very surprised if in some underlining way or another that you have not been helped by a subsidy or gov. aid one way or the other because thats how out government has come to work.
Like it or not we have become a socialised nation.

 

[Tradititonal Farmer]

I farm for a living and have never received a check from the gov't except an overpayment on taxes that was my money to start with they just used it interest free for a year.Really gov't payments have hurt farmers in the long run by keeping prices surpressed and encouraging corporations to get into to farming for the gov't money
