That is what was confusing me and it would piss me off as well!

This is the crux of the matter, for those who obviously are not paying attention. I am NOT angry over the fact that Ron removed my mod powers - as I've said repeatedly, it is his board to run as he sees fit. What DOES anger me is his continuing lack of a reasonable explanation. His reasons thus far have done little to reassure me, and have, in fact, only added to the frustration. I would like, for the record, nothing better than to put this whole ugly incident behind me and continue happily posting here, but until a reasonable explanation for Ron's decision is forthcoming, I don't see that happening. I agree with those who say he does not owe me such an explanation, per se, but in the interest of good harmony, it would behoove him to do so. As it is, the evasiveness smacks of bullshit, and I was hoping that Ron would have seen that by now.

Z, you have me on Yahoo. If you are genuinely interested in my side of the story - and I have NOT spelled it all out here, nor do I intend to - you are always free to message me. Until that time, you ought to suspend your judgment, as it is based only on incomplete information.

Kuul - I expected such a reaction from you. You don't know the situation either, so have a nice hot cup of STFU, thanks.

Icky - ditto what I said to Z.

Ron - please re-read our PM exchanges from the beginning, carefully. Put aside your personal feelings and what you think you know about me and just read what I was saying all along. My hope is that you will finally understand where my frustration and anger is coming from, and why it sure sounds like you are trying to whitewash the whole situation. If I've mischaracterized your intentions, I apologize, but to date nothing you have said makes sense to me and in every conceivable sense, smacks of BS. I do not think asking for a clear and reasonable explanation of your action is out of line. You should be able to explain it simply and clearly, and your failure thus far to do so is a HUGE part of the problem here. I cannot fathom why you don't grasp this concept, which seems to simple to me. Regardless of what the reason actually is, I'll respect you a great deal more for providing it.

To the rest - well, I don't know what I'll be doing. I may continue to post here, I may not. But, it's not going to be the same, I fear. I wish I could make Ron understand why this is, but apparently, I cannot. Anyone is free to email me at beeblebrox420 AT hush DOT com, as always.

I believe I shall stop posting here as well, due to the fact that all the mods, now that you are gone beeble, suck ass. Pretty hard. Just what we need, a marijuana site moderated by PRUDES.

It's too bad this can't be worked out, but life is much too short and there are more important things in life to spend time on.

I'm sure Ron knows that the regular members here develop friendships and relationships of respect with the mods. I respect all of the mods, and their own different styles (When is LuLu coming back ??).

Every time BB took a public hard line, a few people complained, but there were many more of us who were quietly supporting him. If there are rules, you might as well enforce them.


Whatever the issue is, Ron probably owes BB a phone call, and an honest explanation. If not now, maybe when cool heads can prevail. I gotta believe that we're all on the same team, at least when it comes to the big picture.

Situations like this happen every day. Sometimes they get worked out, sometimes not. If it can't be worked out, try to find some common ground, shake hands and wish each other peace.

I agree, it is too bad this can't be worked out.. but after reading this thread and a couple of others (such as the thread by Icky and linked by Inky) i've realised.. that.. well, Beeble is a bit of a dick. Sorry mate, but you need to chill out, relax guy, take a rest fella (sorry, was just watching South Park with my nephew!). If Ron has decided this dude shouldn't be a mod anymore then he ain't gonna be a mod anymore, and personally I agree; he shouldn't be a mod anymore.

Imo thats what i wanted to say but i just didnt. I agree completely with all the statements you said. Haha its kinda funny Ghost cuz right now you could say whatever you want cuz u know ur leaving the site anyways lol

i'm in the dark too concerning this but i will add my opinion on ron only...
he has guided this site for nearly 10 years now and not only has this site grown into one of the biggest and most visited cannabis sites online but it has also split to become TWO of the largest cannabis sites around! there are no other major sites that offer the friendliness and openess we have here, which has brought up more than a couple debates between us but he knows what he's doing and i have 100% trust in his judgement. he listens to everyone here and mods always have an open line to him direct by telephone...just beware as the converstions can stretch into hours...lol!

he has a vision and it has not strayed since i have been around here for over 8 years now...what more needs to be said?

beyond that, it's between him and the beeb. imnsho, of course...

I agree that by and large, Ron has done a good job running his websites. I regret and apologize for my earlier comment to the contrary - it was said (hopefully understandably) out of anger and frustration. As for the rest, until I hear from Ron and am satisfied with his reasons for this action, I stand by my position. As it is, I've heard enough via the grapevine to convince me that there are things Ron is not saying. At this point, I'd be satisfied if he simply said "Look, I have concerns about you that I would prefer not to discuss yet."

Only time will truly tell, I suppose.

beeble is a cunt, sure he was quick,informative, and helpful on some matters, but generally he is a cunt and this thread proves it after having read through it.

in hindsight I believe your right about the source but not that im a scammer I can only speak for myself,,but im sure the other 2 mentioned aren't either. so I do apologize to beeble for that one I thought it was Zandor I had replied to

lol not even sure how i could be scammer when i dont even sell, if it was cuz the whole delirum thing, me and him sorted that out. Other then that i got no clue about accusations of me being a scammer.
