. If a thread's basically a glorification of drugs however and offers little by way of balanced debate then it's always going to run the risk of falling foul of a mod who is more sensitive about the subject.Ironic given the number of times the particular name called out in this instance has done it to other posters however.
I believe it was Pert and while I don't think SiYuan was stirring it in this instance it was destined to be yet another round in the never ending Pert saga that we could really do without.
We don't mind sensible debate on drugs as an issue but given the broad range of ages and nationalities on here need to be a bit careful about being seen to encourage the use of illegal substances. There was some good debate in there from Pogue but the fact that the bulk of the thread was simply pictures of tonights top draw event and talk of how high people were going to get made a few mods feel uneasy about it with the eventual result being it's deletion.
You know my views on the issue from the other thread and there is a split in opinion as to whether drugs should be discussed too openly on the forum. I'm of the opinion that brushing drugs under the carpet has patently failed as a means of dealing with the "menace". It's also a lousy way of hiding your stash in a hurry as you end up smoking mouse droppings and everything else that accumulates under student sofas when you try to reclaim it later

Both issues are however connected in terms of how much personal information some of you are willing to give away on line. It shouldn't be our job to protect you idiots from yourselves but with the amount of personal information some of you seem happy to divulge to complete strangers on the net, you've got to wonder quite how stupid it's possible to be.
Have none of you considered that just as a prospective employer has always called a reference or two to check out a candidate they might not also enter your name in google to ensure they're not employing a chronic pothead or someone who likes to display his mangina to complete strangers?
I may well be a muppet, but at least I'm a muppet who manages not to incriminate himself all over the net.
I was actually already fully aware of esmufc's stance towards cannabis from speaking with him previously on this forum.Actually I was recently clearing up my desktop on my laptop, when I found the notes I had made before I was on BBC Radio 5 Live this summer during a debate on cannabis on the Victoria Derbyshire breakfast show. 2 million regular smokers, but a suspected 7 million people who use the drug on an irregular basis. But these type of statistics that require participant honesty should never be treated as fact.
If you read the thread, and put my quote in context, you just might realise I wasn't actually being serious. Light hearted humour, ask esmufc himself if he ever felt pressured into smoking cannabis.
Your latter quote shows up to be nothing more than a fraught attempt to furnish your claim with any substance.
That thread in no way attempted to 'push' the use of cannabis to any redcafe member. If it had of done, I would have expected it to have been deleted a lot sooner.
How about I post 15 examples of the good advice that was posted in that thread?
What kind of person feels the need to traipse through a closed thread in order to get involved in a debate that is in the Mod Forum, over a topic that actually has nothing to do with him whatsoever.
Shockingly petty attempt to try and show me up as a liar. If you've got nothing better to than this; then you really need to grow up and get a life
