I'm not assuming, TAG. I was simply basing my conclusion on what I saw, to be honest, and partially, too, on my limited observation of your actions today.
The thread title may not reflect the contents of said thread to you. And indeed, that one didn't after you resurrected it. I’m well aware that your comments and the one reply that came after yours didn't follow the "Dude f--- people" line, which was great. But I’m hoping sometime you can see my actions from a wider board perspective. That thread title invited other subsequent posters, many of them far less civil and courteous than you, to join in on that obnoxious theme. As Slipknot pointed out, those old threads were created before many of us were members or mods, and they were also created under the previous ownership of the boards, when the standards were rather different. We’re tasked with enforcing the newer standards. And some of us are also rather keen on keeping the main lounge as free of invective and obnoxiousness as we can. It’s not always easy, but it does matter. This lounge is the face of cannabis.com, and if we’re ever going to be successful at raising the esteem in which cannabis advocates and smokers are held—or at changing attitudes and, ultimately, laws—then certainly civility and courtesy are good places to start.
I’ve enjoyed this debate, but I must sign off now and finish cooking supper for my family. I also need to deal with a more troubling issue here at home, and that’s the fact that my 18-pound orange cat keeps making running leaps onto my lap, practically knocking me off my chair, in order to vault up and walk on my computer desk and shelves, and then jump down onto my keyboard. It’s time for a tabby time-out.
