Ok, well first off if I came off scared or worried, of course I'm nervous about a new approach to doing something. That's human nature to feel anxiety when a person places themselves in situations that are new and/or different to them. This type of anxiety is normal social anxiety even in every-day activities, such as when someone would go to start a new job, go on a singles cruise, or even public speaking. I was actually glad you were kind of blunt with me at first about not being so worried (acting like a bitch). Although this type of advice might not have been given with the best tact, you were still being helpful.
Regarding the fentanyl, no one said anything about it except for me. I was trying to have some chicago based discussion about heroin. It was actually all over the news a couple years ago in the chicago papers about a lot of people overdosing because of it, and I was curious as to how other people had viewed it since the media seems to have a fairly single-minded approach to things. Check out this one link.

Now as far as this thread being embarrassing, and a practically a "Heroin for Dummies" thread. That's ridiculous. This thread is called "Chicago--Heroin". That's all it is. Just a thread for bluelighthers in the Chicago area to come and discuss heroin. So, if someone posts in this thread about a rave next week, I could see the issue, but whatever posts related to "Chicago-Heroin", what does it matter how advance of a post it is or how much of a beginner post it is.
I do agree though that yeah, "best practices" is people should checkout some drug basics or drug FAQ's before posting to a more specific thread like this to discuss, but even then there are many general heroin discussions that are answered in a very general matter, and sometimes the outcomes of discussions ina more focused thread like this will issue different results.
Now, I'm not sure what you "have here" that "newfags" are fucking up. It looked to me like it was just a regional heroin discussion thread. So, maybe if people are ruining what you want to come out of this thread maybe you can create a new thread with an explicit declaration and title of whatever criteria it is you are expecting people to adhere by when discussing. Or, instead of bitching about people "fucking this thread up", why not try to guide discussion to more of the subject material that you are wanting to see. That's why I brought up the Fentanyl thing, I knew it was heroin related, I remember reading about in in the Chicago papers and I was interested in discussing that in this thread.
