is it too much to ask a forum mod to act in an adult manner? she just doesn't get it.
see THAT is a good question...

Last I checked mods should be a little outside/above it all... how's it cool to be a bully because you have some "power"? How's it cool that some people can treat others like shit cuz they're your friends, but some not? You wanna be rude, why not do it under your own regular scn and not a mod one? I would think mods try to set some sort of example for how people should be behaving.

How am I supposed to trust that things are being handled in any way fairly or impartially? How am I supposed to feel like the admins of this site care about the user's, with that happening? How is any user?

Fact is, there's no power there... this is an online forum, it's cool, but my recent hyperactivity here is cuz I'm bored, and bed ridden right now... and then I may not post again for a year, or ever... boot me, oh well. It doesn't really reflect poorly on me, i won't affect me at all. I mean, hey it's great being here, shooting the shit, hearing some good advice, "meeting" some cool people... but c'mon now.

Maybe this just isn't a place for racists. Why should they be allowed to sow discontent and discord here. They're not afraid of making other people uncomfortable or frightened. Why should they be welcomed. Its a pot forum not a everything is bad because of blacks forum.

I like that. Discussions good, even risque ones (White guilt/white privilege... that's a touchy one) but no one at any level should be allowed to just go around abusing people. Not cool.

Sucks to have to be exclusive... but if you don't like the group, or can't follow the guidelines of a least semi-civilized behaviour, why should we all have to put up with it (and it does spew into totally fine threads). I've had a few of those people find other postings I've made somewhere else and go in there just to curse me out. Seriously, cyber stalking? sad.

Heats rise, tempers flare, some people will "fight" but this is a little endemic... like a small but virulent cancer. And when you got cancer, first you cut, then you chemo... thankfully we already got the meds ;-)

You should have read some of the shit that nlsxk1 and a few of the other assholes posted during the last election.
It would be some racist shit followed by a page of hi fives from all of the other racists and then buck and I and a couple of others would step in to take out the trash.

Nlsxk1 has learned a little something in 4 years. Its not so blatantly racist anymore but a political or news thread thinly disguised as a racist rant.

He's gone from simply why do black people shoot each other? to
Why won't the justice department do anthing about Chicago or Maryland?

Come on. I mean come on.

For an example of this kind of ignorance read the Trump thread. Its still going with some ignorant gold.

Buck wasn't always like this but since I joined around the last election the stupid shit he's gone up against has fried his last nerve. I don't blame him for writing what he does he's matching some posters elegant racism with absurdity because its the same shit.

yeah well I had nothing to do with any od that, you see I'm not super inflammatory, I'm level headed and respectful... yeah I speak my mind, sometimes a little sarcastically or harshly... but nothing to call for the venom he was spitting at me... like mad dog style a bit.... that's not any better, it terms of making people feel comfortable and welcome.

I dated a girl a few years ago who was taking a women's studies class. She had a textbook of female anatomy and it had an illustration of the 7 different types of vagina shapes (actually labia I think). I love them all but some look like those ambigrams of old ladies.
Love me some Vajayjay Watt. #1 draft pick on my fantasy team.

Back to the OT...

Does anyone else find it funny that there is a tougher control over leaving the planet than entering the USA?? THANKS OBAMA!!!
I find it funnier on just how retarded you can sound. You never told us how you have your financial portfolio set up.
Please share I need a good laugh

"A company made up of a few dozen people just got permission from a collection of federal agencies to try to land on the moon.

If they succeed, they'll follow the only three entities — the United States, the former Soviet Union, and China — to touch down on the moon. The trip would take them 10 times fartherfrom Earth than any commercial company has gone before.

Moon Express' rover is planned to weigh about 20 pounds and be about the size of a coffee table. Once it lands on the moon, it will turn its engine back on to hop around the surface.

The lander will have scientific instruments on board, including a lunar laser that will replace the longest-running Apollo experiment, which sends laser beams to Earth to measure principles of general relativity. Moon Express is also building an internet-run telescope and is hoping NASA will entrust them with a payload.

But the company's end goal is focused on more commercial goals, like mining for metals, fuels, and moon rocks. They're also offering to bring people's ashes to space."

You need permission to land on the moon??? Government isnt out of control or anything.... FFS!!
Why, the outrage..how dare they.

unclebuck? that shit's like, captain wingnut
It's not bro...but your posts offering "science", grow advice and other expertise is a fucking blight. Dont try it in politics area with faux good judgement and circumspection. Your head will be on a platter with the quickness

It isn't not "cool to be a bully" but if you're a phony asshole saying "it's not cool to be a bully" then you're a fucking POS as well.

I did, thank you, it was very cathartic... :cry::cry::cry:.. ::sniff::

It's good to know you care :) it really helps.

but also, just in case... no, I don't care that much, but it is an issue, and let's say if this forum did mean a lot to me (I'm sure it does for some) or I was involved, I'd hate to see that being how RIU does things, on a personal level. It's not even unprofessional, it's rude, and free forum/volunteers or not, there's generally standards of behavior of members and mods alike.

Let's say a live free convention staffed by volunteers... would you want to hang out get cursed at by the staff? Or watching them do it to others, even if they were nutters? I'd rather not... I'd rather they just get them out and ban them, if it's like that. Why flame?

I think we all know that sort of behavior, and the environment that fosters it, is what leads to forums being crap, and then useless... this place is, i nothing else, a pretty good source or good community based info and support. I like that, and rather have it be better, not worse.

Guy this is the internet. Get over it. When you enter RIU politics, you better be ready or I would suggest you stick with toke and talk. Thicken that skin guy.
