The forum posting guide spells out that account deletion is rarely done, and only in cases of security problems such as a pending court case or photographs in threads. Never over an inability to make friends, or a lack of success at herding the farmer's cattle to a different pasture, and finding out that in fact they don't have the grass-is-greener mentality.
There are mistakes everywhere, including the one you posted yesterday about Shultz houseplant food. They are all over, and it is the job of the community, and my job as a moderator, to correct those mistakes and explain the reasoning behind the correction. Chemical fertilizer does not 'imitate nature'. Indoor gardening is largely learning what the plant needs, and manipulating its environment, within the limitations of artificial lighting, to produce conditions that are almost, but not entirely, unlike Nature (HGG fans anyone?); but rather, an improvement on it, where drought and pests do not exist, and the plant is never competing for light, space, water, or food with other species.

The language correction is in your second post on this thread, referring to my use of the term 'I don't give a rat's ass', which my mother used to use when scolding me. And my mother is a wicked grammar cop.

I'm sorry to see you giving up and leaving the community over an unwillingness to admit that the community might legitimately feel insulted by your first post being, "There is BS here, come over next door where you'll learn ALL the secrets".

Oh well.
