It's been great here but I must move on.

[northernlightssmokn]

I just want to personaly thank EVERYONE here on the site for all the good times in the last 3 months!! I want to thank Bubba for the great electrical advice, TBG for tips on a starts room and Stonybud for the information on compact growing. I also feel honored in being given the opprotunity to share my experiences with others.
Stonybud, I want to thank you for having this site, if you are the true owner. You do the growing world a GREAT service!!
I feel that I must remove myself from somewhere I can't be myself. This site has tightened the reignes on "cussing" to include common sayings that I use regularly such as the anitials.."w.t.f" and "b.s". In reading the post by stony and seeing the responses to my response, it is clear to me that there are two choices...change my vocabulary or respectivly leave. I choose to leave.
I am a member of norml and fight localy for the rights of marijuana users on a regular basis. I promise although I am not a member to this site, I will continue to fight for our cause anywhere I am.
Take care and GOD bless everyone here.

im sorry to hear that u feel its necessary for you to leave just because you cant curse anymore...either way u know well be here and welcome you back if u ever decide to return

 

[bombbudpuffa]

Wow...I can't believe someone is leaving because of this. I'm sorry, man...hope you come back! Btw, this is my 666 post...lol.

 

[Mr.Wakenbake]

are you garsh dern kiddin me LOL...


Choosing to leave a quality site like this for this reason seems a bit petty don't you think? Oh well LOVE, PEACE, and CHICKEN GREASE!

 

[Elephant Man]

I for one will miss you man, we spoke in chat a few times and I got a good vibe from you.

I think censorship is a touchy subject with me too, but I also think a simple request for politeness was blown way out of proportion.

I think it is sad that you feel you must go, but we must maintain this site with a majority in mind...and unlike other sites....the majority here is polite without being asked to be...so...chilling at MP is good and will continue as it has, and I intend to keep things the way they are.

This is an open forum, you do not need to register to view it. We cannot control the fact that minors will view it. It is up to us adults to give the youth the right impression, as in life.

 

[kindphriend]

Con dos cojones!! NLS I will truely miss you my friend. I also really respect the fact that you have values and morals that you live by. I do not plan to leave this site all together, however I can say that my communication will be limited, because that is what they want. To limit our communication...i mean that is what censorship does. However, I respect that. It´s thier choice. But man, leaving the site.....I think that is too much. If you do decide to permanently go, I wish you the best my friend.

You guys are killing me. I just don't understand why it is so hard not to swear. I mean come on guys are you kids or adults? Last time i checked my clock adults didn't need to swear to get their point across ya know. You guys really need to sit back and think about this with a clear head. I mean if ya need to swear send the person a PM it's not that hard.

Hey KP you say that your communication will be limited know. You mean to tell me that you can't communicate with another member without swearing? Come on man i know you better than that. I myself hate to see any of you go but if that's what you feel is right then so be it.

 

[kindphriend]

No, I can perfectly communicate without swearing. (obviously, i´ve written what 179 posts now without swearing) The point is that it is censorship and it impedes my expression. I understand why and I agree with you to a certain point. I wouldn´t want to see someone on here cussing someone out for some reason.....but THAT is being offensive. Me writing two letters that stand for something when i´m talking about getting busted or my plants dying and then my post getting deleted for two letters is going too far. I am an adult and I know how to communicate on a mature level without swearing. From my point of view, if some really conservative type comes on here and is reading a post about how to grow and sees the f word and gets offended, then that is his/her problem. He/she is a close-minded person. I am not a superficial person and care little about the opinions of others, because I know who I am and am confident in that. I do not use foul language to degradate people or to show power and control, but sometimes....and I think we all understand this, foul language is used as a form of expression. Maybe there are other ways to say it, but to each his own. I don´t think Mary Magdalene should be painted with a bunch of poopy, but for some it is a form of expression that envokes feelings and emotions to all who see it, some don´t like it, some love it. What I´m trying to say is that we should be free to express ourselves however we want. In holland they swear on the television. In spain they have porn on after 12. Are the people offended? No they are educated to know that this is a time and a place for adults....much like this site is a place for adults and mature open-minded people. If someone comes on here and starts a swear rant about something, your job as moderators is to identify that as offensive and delete it. If I write three letters describing a cop that just busted me for a seed.....who am I offending? The cop? Do you care? I left the USA because I didn´t feel free to be who I am, I had to be who they wanted me to be and follow their rules. However, for me this "no swearing" rule is not something that is going to change who I am so i don´t plan to leave, but I do feel that it is a typical form of Americanization.

I am envious of your culture...but in my opinion, it is up to us to prove to the rest of the world that we are intelligient, and courteous herbal users....not a bunch of wild rebellious potheads. As with everything, there must be balance.

Well I just read KP's second post and I'll second TBG's opinion...Welll stated my "phriend".

Just to reiterate, I don't HAVE to swear. EDITED by hick Please, let's let this die...I SENT YOU MODS A PM TELLING YOU WHAT I WOULD DO IF YOU DIDN'T BAN ME. THIS STARTS IT FOR REAL. I GOTTA GO TO WORK NOW, BUT WHEN I GET HOME TONIGHT IF I CAN STILL POST THE FLAMING BEGINS. HICK THAT EDIT IS ABSOLUTE ********

 

[SmokinMom]

nls- I hope you reconsider. You are a valuable member here. Please don't leave.

Or maybe just take some time to think about it, then come back. I really think you won't find this great a community elsewhere. Someone else said it, but with the no cussing ruke we really do look to have more class. That can only have a positive impact on us in my opinion.

Just think about it, okay. I'd hate to lose ya.

 

[noodles]

I think what the Mods are trying to say is that when you type your words you can personally pick what your saying but when you talk with yours peers it comes naturally when speaking. So in other words you determine ahead of time what you say on this site before typing. What is so hard about changing your true feelings for another word.

 

[Runbyhemp]

I second what SmokinMom says. I honestly can't understand what all the fuss is about ... Peace

If you do insist on leaving, I would like to wish you luck

As we say here in Ireland " As you slide down the bannister of life, may all the splinters be pointing in the right direction" :aok:

As you wish, yorker. I tried to deter this from happening. I thought we were makeing progress in pm's. I guess not..
Personal insults , flameing and name calling, along with your "desire" to be banned,...and your threats
all have contributed to this descision.
"I" will not allow it.




..you left me absolutely no choices yorker...

I for one have a real problem speaking without cussing. I could (and sometimes do) literally swear every other word. But that is something I recognize, and therefore I am attempting to change my speech. As for typing I have no problems communicating without swearing, so I prefer to type. I believe "if I can do it, anyone can do it"!! I just wanted to say "THANK YOU!!" to all who regulate this sight. There are plenty of forums of this nature on the WWW that allow nudity and obscenities in there avatars and posts..... Thanks again MP for keeping a clean house!!
It is a shame, to see anyone leave the forum due to such a childish excuse....
