"No. But by the same token it is not alright for him to say things like that in the first place. You hear me, Torog? There will be none of that as long as I'm here. People will disagree, but I ask that they at least do as civilly as possible. I want people visiting these forums for the first time to have a favorable impression of us. Can we all agree on that?"

Message recieved--BeebleBrox...will do....

I over-reacted and threatened the use of violence,I apologize for that..and I won't do it again.

To HD.. I also apologize to you..I had no business making physical threats against you.

Now then..for some facts: My daughter is grown,she's 25 years old and lives far away from me,she's always known why I smoke marijuana,mostly for medical use and as an alternative to alcohol. I don't grow where I live at and I'm careful to keep a low profile. I'm a Navy vet and I can't but help to respect your service,however,I also believe that every soldier,should think of themselves as an ambassador representing America..good conduct,is preferred..but I also can't help but feel that you've earned some leeway in regards to your free speech rights.

I lived in Saudi,drillin water-wells there,so I know quite a bit about fundy islamic rule and sharia law..I've seen how muslim men treat their women-and it ain't pretty. I thought that you were a juvenile,who'd named his plants thus,so that you could use the derogatory names everytime you posted about them..and git a sick satisfaction from doing so.

Down here in Texas,we treat our women like ladies and I come from a culture that believes in decent behaviour and speech,as well as respect,towards others and I reckon that I can't expect such high standards from everyone,in the America of today,such standards are ridiculed and thought of as politically-incorrect..I should have known better.

I also thought,that most of the women here,would object to the names you've chosen..I reckon that I was wrong about that too.

So...I will just grit my teeth..and bear it..and I think it's best to agree to disagree...and leave it at that.

Have a good one....
