I'm sorry to read this. I've read some of your writing. It's deep. Too deep for meto pay due attention to right now. It's a little scary. And I'm sorry as hell to know that you probably won't be hanging around and writing more any time soon.
I hope you understand my position, though. As admin, I can't pick sides in any row. Ya' know? I can't go around deciding who to ban or what to delete because then it wouldn't be an open discussion. It would just be whatever I thought was good. Besides that, it would be about a full time job just trying to keep people from hacking around whatever barriers we might put up. And the whole thing would suck even more.
So I hope everyone understands that there's no threat or coercion behind my opinions for or against anyone. M-khay? Everyone clear on that? Ok. Cause I agree completely with Abush here. This is just exactly the sort of thing that I thought would happen if a bunch of Program people got together. Some of ya'll have become the dragon that you set out to slay.
I know that not everyone will join up with the angry mob. And I hope ya'll know that, just because some folks don't feel like saying something and getting reamed for it doesn't mean they agree with the angry mob.
And, btw, I don't think Leigh stole any papers. I think Leigh borrowed some papers, got busy with life and didn't get around to getting them back to the Dynamic Duo quickly enough to suit them. And I hope that ya'll will give her whatever help she needs to complete her book. I understand that Maia Szalavitz, author of this great article for Slate, is writing a book as well.
http://cannabisnews.com/news/15/thread15129.shtmlThere's an up side to all of this other than what friendships and emotional help people might find in these forums. More and more lately, we're getting requests from kids and concerned family members for documentation to show TOUGHLOVE inductees that they have put their kids in the wrong hands. I think that's the best way we've got to save some kids. And it doesn't require any organization or control or coercion of any kind. Just rampant talking out in group. :wink:
