I don't see where Del called anyone a "rat" ... he simply stated that "sales" talk is no longer welcomed ... perhaps he singled out some people when making those comments, for whatever reasons, but that's a far cry from calling someone a "rat".

With that said, "scammers" are out there everywhere and thus a policy clarification was made several months back to strongly discourage "sales" discussion ... furthermore that policy clarification also strongly discourages discussion of "scammers" on this site.

To be clear, discussion of "sales" isn't welcomed here, as many already are aware. In addition, as many may not be aware, discussion of "scammers" here is also not welcomed at cann.com; we link to various "scammer" discussion / rating sites for the convenience of visitors ... again, to reiterate, discussion of "scammers" on cann.com isn't welcomed either.

As cann.com gets ever bigger and popular, any type of "sales" / "scammer" discussion is asking for trouble all around. There are better places to discuss such topics outside of cannabis.com

I'm going to unban DoctorFeelGood asap as a one-time courtesy.

Finally, many miscommunications / misunderstandings can be avoided by also corresponding in other mediums, such as email, chat, voice (often the best), etc; best to take a break and then communicate again when disagreements arise ... sometimes people are just in a bad mood, rushed, etc and are impaired in their ability to convey / interpret thoughts in a discussion.
