What in tarnation?

[tha del sound]

Well, I had one of my threads closed earlier and I have a discrepancy with it. It was a thread regarding a possible guerilla growing site that was on a neighbor's roof. From what I gather, stinkyattic closed it because I was insinuating taking advantage of this older couples roof, but that doesn't make any sense to me. Why am I not allowed to talk about guerilla growing since it involves a roof as opposed to a forest or something like that? Either way, I would be illegally using property. What difference does it make whether it is on someone else's roof? Where's the justice? I can understand how stinky could get upset because these older people could get busted for my wrong doing, and I do acknowledge that it is a rather scandalous thing to do, but I do not think there is any difference between my guerilla growing thread and any other ones.

This is considered the same way as someone posting about growing in their momma's house without permission.
It's selfish and juvenile. It gives us all a bad name.
You weren't baned for it. Consider yourself lucky.

-- If you are deemed making immature, contentless posts, consider your account will also be be PERMANENT banned. (this is up to mods and admins)

Come on, you know we don't cuss in thread titles!

As for the other bit, I think that this should be fairly obvious. If you like, I can re-open the thread and let the other members tell you what they think of growing on someone's roof! Come ON.

Read up in the 'grower's code of ethics' sticky... guerrilla growing when it breaks other laws [trespassing, especially in this very egregious manner you have suggested] is frowned upon as a subject for discussion.

If you are going to represent the cannabis community, please do it in ways that don't put others in danger.

Thank you for understanding why I am such a hard ass about this. If you really care about legalization, you will know where I'm coming from.

You don't have to re-open the thread. This post was just me trying to voice my opinion that threads, like mine, have been unrightly closed. Not unrightly in the way that I was at no fault, but unrightly because you, as a moderator, just told me I was wrong and closed the thread instead of pursuing further discussion of it. In the end, we would probably come to the same conclusion that I shouldn't do it, but when you just close a thread, I, as someone looking for information, feel like I've been shit on by those whose opinions I so highly regard. My initial reaction was, "Well, fuck you!" Had I been a less reasonable person I might have grown it out of spite of you. A part of me wanted to, ahaha, but I do listen when people tell me I have a bad idea. Anyway, what I'm getting at is that as a moderator I think you should be the one who converses with someone like me and tells me why I shouldn't do what I wanted to. Like I said earlier, the same conclusion of "bad idea" would emerge either way probably, but I really, strongly disagree with the way you went about it. As you said, you are very adamant about the topic and I do understand why, but don't you think someone who cared so strongly about it would try and turn people on to it instead of shut them out of it? Do you get what I'm saying? I'm kinda rambling since I'm faded. Oh, and sorry for the title.

I can't believe we are even having this discussion.
DO NOT GROW ON A ROOF YOU DO NOT OWN.
If you want to test the ability of pot plants to survive 120'F+ July heat, do it on your OWN roof.
Seriously.
Way to take advantage of an elderly couple, huh? :thumbsup:
This thread is OVER.

What's left to discuss? Bad idea, NOT something that ANYBODY on this site would want to promote. By growing WE take on a certain risk, not others, WE DO IT ON OUR OWN! It would have been real nice if this poor old couple had the DEA bust in their doors.

This one is closed unless Stinky decides to re-open it.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

......but don't you think someone who cared so strongly about it would try and turn people on to it instead of shut them out of it?.

I think 13,000 posts, over 10,000 of them in the grow section, several instructional stickies and tutorials, and a real-world commitment to helping legal medical users learn to grow their own medicine should be proof enough that I give a shit.

Converses? I made a sticky already telling members in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that I would not tolerate posts that talked about breaking other laws while growing cannabis. PERIOD.

This whole argument is a bit insulting to what I work for, which is widespread access to meds and a better public opinion of those who must use them.... But you're 'faded' so I guess it's okay... ?

By the way, using being stoned as an excuse for being argumentative isn't helping the general perception of stoners' intellects either...
