Thanks for proving my point, Grace. You would do much better to refer to
the issue being discussed, but you don't and that's exactly where it begins
to get personal and insulting. The discussion is degraded when the will to
discuss is absent (which is also insulting), and that seems to be the case
to date as far as you are concerned. Any time you care to comment on the
main point I've bothered to examine within your supposed area of competence
- "compulsory organic certification", you might just gain a little more
respect. As things stand, you're fair game until such time you decide to
make a real contribution to a legitimate discussion, instead of pretending
to have been injured and spewing out colored words like those underlined
below. I find that incongruent. Your rose to the bait all right, but not
yet in a constructive way. I expect more and try to provide more myself.
If you can't take the heat, why cook? Have you nothing to contribute? Why
not engage in a little healthy dialog? (That's what this forum is for).
I'm open to whatever reasoning you may be able to provide, in relation to
sustainable agricultural themes such as the above, the induction via
natural means of pineapple floration or the seasonality if the fruit and
whether that should or shouldn't be extended.
