"No, I'm taking your argument to it's natural extreme. A method of debate I'm certain you're familiar with."

No, your saying one equals the other even though they are not the same. Your saying speech is the same as action. Would you like to take that to it's natural extreme?

"So if you were, for example, opening a store you would have a vote on who worked for you? I rather think you'd employ people you judged to be suitable."

I don't think your getting the concept of democracy and dictatorship. Because a dictatorship is run in a open and decent manner makes it no less a dictatorship. You say this is democracy??? LOL! You may find that your little store is also a dictatorship if you take the time to think about it, just as this board is. It's Rons house, he's a good dick, but a dictator just the same. That is why he has the ultimate end game for this site, or marihemp anyway. In any case your dead wrong about this board being even close to a democracy. Ron will listen, but in the end it is his choice.

"Either that or you may need to check a dictionary. Authority.. 'representative of the wishes of the majority' is democracy last time I checked."

Yep, mob rules. But you don't have that here do you? You got one suppreme ruler, and his appointed law men. Don't get me wrong, I like Ron, he's proven to be a good guy and a friend of Freedom. But in the end, you don't have mob rules here. If you think you do, try to have me banned with your majority and see what happens.

"I'd guess on a cannabis forum they may have meant help with issues concerning cannabis. Just a wild guess."

Could be that a board that says "Friendly talk about nothing in particular", is just that.

"Anyone seen Ron recently? Oh where can that dictator be? He needs to be controlling every thread to be doing his dictatorial job properly. Maybe he just leaves it to the members to say what they want, and the moderators to respond. Is it sinking in yet?"

I don't know man, why don't you tell me? Your the one that seems to be confused here.

"No my friend. I meant you were being an arse."

Why thank you! Complement accepted.

"Well, rehearsed answer, bravo. I tend to find people are given the label trolls by those who recognize trolls."

Exactly what is a troll anyway? Can you define that for me? If I am a troll, and me and you are doing the same thing, wouldn't that make you a troll also?

"But please keep it up"

No worries mate, I'll stick around awhile. At least until I decide to go back under my rock again. Then you will just have to deal with me poping in and out every so often.
