Yes, clean it up, and do it YESTERDAY...
I have always loathed censorship of any kind, and seldom have I ever needed to intercede here because we are all grown-ups and should be treated thus. But something is going on - and not for long - that could perhaps put the entire community in jeopardy. And by jeopardy I mean simply this: We will no longer have a Home like this.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS HERE? WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UNACCEPTABLE AND WANTON RULE BREAKING BEHAVIOR WILL BE WEEDED OUT AND THEIR ACCOUNTS DUMPED IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT DUE PROCESS - I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING THAT THREATENS THE LARGER COMMUNITY OF DECENT FOLKS WHO NEED SUCH A RESOURCE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNITY AS WE HAVE TRIED TO PROVIDE HERE
Jesus Christ, what is wrong with some people?
Is common sense really that elusive, or do I have a fox in the hen house? I do not care which it is: if it is 'innocent' stupidity or willful malintent, it makes no difference to me, or to the ramifications that would ultimately follow for the entire Tribe, the outcome and disposition will be the same.
There needs to be a damned strong show of solidarity here if people still care about having a place to come and discuss iboga freely. Nobody anywhere is ever going to operate any kind of OPEN DISCUSSION forum that makes everybody happy! The world isn't always sunshine and lollipops and there will inevitably be disagreements and strong differences of opinion - is that really any reason to trash, flame or troll?
Are you an idiot, or just an asshole if you butt heads with a different point of view and can't take the fact that others may not share your perspective? Because the way I see this, there is no gray area. You're either one or the other, if something rubs you wrong and you cannot be adult about it.
I have eaten more shit sandwiches from my involvement in a site that 'endorses' DIY - I can't tell you how much crap I have and still have yet to endure because of my beliefs around this medicine and the way people use it... but assholes and hate mail will not change my mind about what I know in my heart is real and true.
I AM NOT (neither is pkeffect) RESPONSIBLE OR ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANYTHING ANYONE READS OR DOES NOT READ, DOES OR DOES NOT DO - WRITES OR DOES NOT WRITE - AD INFINITUM ...AS THE RESULT OF VISITING THIS BOARD!!!
READ THE DISCLAIMER, MEMORIZE IT IF YOU CAN'T REMEMBER THAT YOU AND ONLY YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR OWN DECISIONS. LIKE IT OR NOT, NOBODY CAN 'MAKE' YOU DO ANYTHING,, 'MAKE' YOU FEEL ANY WAY, OR 'MAKE' YOU MAKE A DANGEROUS OR UNEDUCATED CHOICE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BRING HARM TO YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE...
It takes a great deal to bring the ire out of me - especially like this. It pains me to have to go there, in a place I love dearly and show this side of myself to people I care about. But I have had it - totally had it - so this is it: ONE CHANCE for each and every person here to behave like the grown-ups you ostensibly are, and not pee your pants or get shitty with someone who disagrees or misunderstands you - watch your mouth take responsibility for your actions do not be foolish, clumsy or careless with pm communications (and I don't even need to go anywhere else with that, do I?), keep your chin up your head high and your FUCKING CONSCIENCE CLEAR by simply...being true. True to one's self true to the integrity of the forums that you participate in. This is for all of our good.
And this is no joke, batten down the hatches friends, and if anything untoward strikes you - immediately let me know, and I mean immediately. Let's keep the gates open - for everyone who cares about this...Calaquendi
