I've been advising people how to grow pot for years. The internet had enabled me to do this with more people than I dreamed possible back when I started. It is what I spend more time doing than anything else.
And being a human being, I have other interests besides growing pot.
And this includes the politics of keeping pot illegal.
This a.m. there was a thread about what politicians are mj-friendly. I gave a quick, simple answer: Al Gore, the man who garnered more popular votes than his opponant.
This is not a therory but a fact. More Americans voted for Gore than Bush, but the supreme's instead appointed Bush president (their decision to prohibit a defintive recount had something I believe with whom and of what party appointed them).
And because of my statement, the thread was closed.
I pm'ed Hick about it and he said he closed it because of my post.
I've been embattled in politics on mj-cuntivation boards many times, but this is the very first time I have been the reason a thread was closed.
And just for expression an opinion based on fact. Not for flaming (cause I didn't).
I believe that who is in power in this great country has a lot to do with the political climate in regards to marijuana decrim/legalization. I remember how in Bush jr.'s first term people who grow and smoke pot were called terrorists and judge killers.
Anyway I pm-ed Hick, who I consider(ed) a friend, having known him via these sites for years. And his response was, basically, "tough shit". I got the idea he considered me a rabble-rouser/troublemaker.
I'm not gonna second or third-guess him. He's a mod; I'm not. But I can no longer post at a site that prohibits, so severly, such freedom of expression.
So I'm leaving.
It's a hard decision and one I don't take lightly. I like this site more than any others, mainly because for the most part there are so few jackasses here.
It was a place I believed where people could post opinions without flaming. A place where people could enjoy a free exchange of idea's.
Seems I was wrong. So so long.
P.S. if anyone desires to keep in touch with me, they can do so via Yahoo im. My handle there is bertdontlie2000.
I'll miss everybody here.
Peace out.
