There is no way that having a skull representing death is a good marketing ploy for the site or the cannabis cause. I have read both threads, and I agree with the old membership on this one. I also am tired of coming into feedback and suggestion's and finding that a thread that was started yesterday was closed before members (including myself) could read it and respond to it. After all; Is not freedom of speech practiced here at cannabisdotcom? hmm?

I agree there are times that total bullshit is posted in the feedback and suggestion area and should be stifled, but in this case I don't see why the membership isn't allowed to read and respond to the concerns of other members.

Personally; I think the skull is in poor taste. (unless you are 14)...but I do agree with the fact that Sundance and his media company own the site and can alter/modify it anyway they choose, because after all freedom of speech is still alive at cannabisdotcom...right?

2 other notes. Image reaper is in my opinion one of the most valuable members we have. His opinion should be valuable to this site. (I realize he took himself out, but It's a shame), and I have to say it...
J. Martinez hit the nail on the head. The prohibitionist's used "like" symbols to criminalize hemp/marijuana in the 1st place. 1st impression's are everlasting and cannot be reversed. With the current political climate in mind; I feel we need to err on the side of compassion...Not! "cool" symbolism. Just MHO.

I hope I am not offending anyone, but I felt this had to be said. I apologize to my fellow moderators, and admin for disagreeing with you.
