Can I pipe in here Sid with my opinion. I don't agree with your views on Sadie.
Ok maybe I'm biased as she is my friend, but I find her attitude to harm reduction valuable and useful to the people of this forum. She's very good at the social stuff, is warm and welcoming - and yep = Nice. Btw she's more Scottish than American, I know her accent and culture.... Ain't nothing wrong with being a nice mod. There's a role and place for that in the Eadd mod team. She's also a woman. Do you know how difficult it is to get a female to give their time up to do that job here?
So Sadie isn't a massive drug bucket. Big deal. She's actually pretty sensible in her use of drugs and PRACTISES harm reduction. Isn't that a good thing here? And yes she does take drugs, I should know as I've taken them with her. She's pretty together (drugs aren't the be all in her life) and I find her a good influence on me.
It's ok to have someone like her on the team. It's actually a very important role. I know the work that goes on behind the scenes here and she definitely earns her keep being an EADD mod. A female one at that too, is especially hard work.
One other thing - what's with the middle aged / old folk comments sid, eh?
Aren't older people allowed to to be part of the scene? Are we of no use any more? We ain't no fun eh, is that it?
I've been taking drugs for 34 years - does my experience have no value? I want to practice harm reduction and do the drugs I love safely - so they don't fuck up my life. And after 34 years I like lot of older" druggies here don't fuck up. I have a good life. I'm fairly healthy and very economically and socially functional.....And yet I still do drugs regularly. Isn't that what harm reduction is all about.
Maybe you'll find some of us oldies have a lot to offer here.
I'm not going to waste too much time on the evey sagas. It's all been said before and my opinion is no different from the majority here about her. Tolerance is important and if you can't be fucked with her ignore and report her etc - we have the tools / power as members here to deal with her lack of HR. It's not our job to sort her, its social services. Her behaviour in general (if she behaves like this on an internet forum, just imagine what's happening in her real life) is likely to draw attention to her and her child's welfare at one point. Especially if she keeps going the way she is.
Right enough of this shite.
Quit with the ageism Sid. OK
