How about this for thinking outside the box?

Guy starts threads with stuff like "....square tree stems" or "what if leaves were made of bubble gum?", etc. Then he just sits back and waits for all kinds of scientific, abstract, opaque and idiotic replies and appears to already know the good ones and ignores the bad ones? Makes one look pretty smart, no?

There s plenty for you to learn out there as well, I'm sure. There is so much that isn't fact, or is unknown.

If it is the teaching of arborists that is your purpose here and not just to condescend and/or entertain your ego then maybe prose like the "Certified Arborists are drunken pathogens" piece in the "Sentience in Trees" thread of yours might put your target audience off a little.

PS That good cop/bad cop stuff wears out quick even on stupid prisoners.
