It's true, RonJohn. I did close one of GS's threads, as I promised him I would if he responded further, which he did, having a clear understanding that I would do as I promised. What you don't know is that the other two threads were closed by another mod entirely. If you've found any other threads other than the ones we'd all standardly delete in accordance with the rules, then you need to show your proof here. That one of yours I deleted was removed because it contained non-cannabis drug talk, as I told you. Had BobBong or one of the other mods seen it first, they'd have taken it down before I did. That wasn't me being a power problem. It was me enforcing the rules like any other mod would.

I'm sorry you have a problem with me, but you'll have to believe me when I say that I truly have not held anything against you based on any conversation with Bong30 or any other topic, other than what I told you several days ago in another thread about believing you don't having any restraint. I continue to stand by that opinion.

You might be interested to know that Bong and I don't agree politically at all. In fact, we've had some very heated arguments in our day, a phase we overcame before becoming friends. I respect the heck out of his right to differ from me, you, and everyone else on the boards if he wants. Just as I respect your right to do the same, including your differences with me. I respect GS/Mostafa's rights to post, too. If that were not the case, I'd have deleted that thread of his instead of simply closing it, and the other mod would have deleted the other two closed ones. If you believe that a single thread having to do with your differences with Bong colored my opinion of you, you clearly have no conception of just how many threads I read--and forget--each time I visit this site. Or else you're still looking through child-centric it's-all-about-me eyes.

This is a time of unease at this site. Things are changing and growing. There've been mod changes. There's a controversial new logo. There's a reputation feature. Change makes a lot of people unhappy. It's clearly making you that way. I hope you can overcome your unhappiness to stay with us and join back in the dialogue here, but if you can't, please rest assured that I wouldn't have been entrusted with this responsibility if the owners didn't think I could handle it reasonably. If you do choose to leave the site, I certainly wish you all the best.
