DS>> But, it's an alternative medicine. 
DS>If you REALLY read this echo instead of just shooting off your mouth
DS>you'd  know that I did allow some documentary that came from research
DS>on the medical  use of the drug. It was ONLY after it became a brawl
DS>with people constantly  telling the other one that they were stupid
DS>and resorted to name calling and  the WHOLE echo was nothing but
DS>posts from FOUR people on marijuana that I put  a stop to it.
I know. The more effective method to stop the flames would have been to 
warn the flamers. You never did that.
DS>  In case you didn't notice...there was NO ONE posting at all  except
DS>the four arguers and the ONLY subject was marijuana. 
You are incorrect.
DS> All the other people had been chased away becuase of their 
DS>insistance on being stuck on one  subject.
That is you interpretation. It might very well be true that the flamewar
was off-putting...but, you allowed the flames to fly.
DS>I asked other people to post, I asked that the thread be stopped and
DS>that we  move on to something else.
After allowing it to get out of hand, yep.
DS>  BTW, where were you and your
DS>intelligence when all  the brawling was going on. 
I was asking Jane to stop calling me a drug addict because I believe in 
medicinal marijuana. The question is more rightly...where were YOU?
DS> What did YOU do to introduce another topic or try  and influence 
DS>people in another direction. 
I did try to talk about the subject reasonably. I'll admit that I became
angered at Janes venom. Venom that you allowed.
DS> It's really simple to sit on your  high horse and condemn
DS>other people when you, yourself do nothing to help the  matter at
DS>all. 
I'm not the moderator. It is YOUR job to keep the flames down. The 
banning of an entire thread because of one person, that you should have 
dealt with individually, is ridiculous. And an example of your lack of 
reason and ability.
 
DS>In case you think marijuana is an ok subject on most echos..try going
DS>over to  the HERBS and SUCH echo and posting over there...Tomas is as
DS>much of a nazi as  I am I guess.
No, I think (actually I KNOW) that marijuana is an alternative medicine.
Thus, it SHOULD be allowed in an AltMed forum.
 
DS>If all you can contribute to this echo is name calling and insults,
DS>then  please leave. Hopefully the majority of us are trying to do
DS>something useful!
I just responded to your question. I, also, am just pointing out facts. 
I would like an echo with a reasonable moderator. If you can be one then
I have no problems.
