First, I'd like to thank everyone for the e-mails, especially the most recent one...

Let me address this issue accurately and fairly as not to be misrepresented.

I had posted a message seeking someone that I had met through here. Because I could not communicate with this person directly, I posted an 'open' message. There was no 'talk' or 'discussion' of MOM. There was a comment that I thought MOM was for the birds, that's it.

Now, there are two associated questions. First, is this what prompted my departure? Yes. However, is it what iniated my departure? No.

Since this site has changed hands, the quality of it has detoriated TREMENDOUSLY. Understanding how things go when change comes about, I stuck it out b/c I thought (stupid me) that eventually things would turn around and it's still...crap. How many times can you tell a 13yr old they're too young to smoke? How many times do you tell a 15yr old they don't need to go searching around their house for the next high? This I have a problem with b/c in my opinion, Cannabis.com is a prime example of why the Marijuana/Hemp movement is not taken seriously. Because instead of seeing a majority of informative posts or intellectual thought, you're bombarded here with preteen and teen angst, ignorance, and foolishness. Again, I stand on principles and my principles say that you don't kids to do drugs, it's an adult decision.

Now, I alluded to an e-mail that I got probably about an hour ago, probably after ps4 posts... My friend pointed out something very interesting: http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=78576
A blatant and open discussion of MOM in the lounge, by mostly kids, that is still ongoing...and has been for several hours. My post was deleted in minutes... BTW, I have that .PDFd for future reference...

So to everyone who has given me greetings and well wishes, I'll let you make the decision. If I took it too far and I'm an asshole, I can accept that. However, I have tried to do nothing but contribute in a positive way since I have joined this forum.

Mr PS4: Please, I have done nothing to anyone here. I have just gone with the flow, respected the rules, and did my thing. However, I'm a little offended that you blatantly misrepresented a situation while not acknowledging the short comings of this site of which I know you are VERY familiar (ethsfreshman comes to mind). All that I ask is if you're going to communicate the situation, do so in a FAIR and ACCURATE manner with the CORRECT details as I have done.

P.S. Thanks for that E-mail 'D'!!
