This whole debate was started because MOP acted as public speaker for many by bringing this debate from PR to BL.
He voiced the opinions of many that these pills 'are not quite right' and residually the argument was blamed on poorly synthesised MDxx.
The debate of MDMA vs MDMA happened.
You, Evad, were his main opponent.
Imagine a new drug user checked BL to 'see whats good' and sees a senior moderator slagging off accusations of others claiming that this new stuff isn't MDMA? He would trust you and take it.
They would do well to read is what actually being claimed. What I had said is that MDMA is always MDMA which is an absolute fact not that all substances sold as MDMA are MDMA.
With your 'superior' knowledge and experience you should've thought, 'Hey, I know these guys thinking MDMA is not MDMA are wrong, but what are the chances there actually IS something dodgy in these pills which would explain the mixed reception?'
That is your DUTY as a senior moderator. To moderate debates like this to ensure they are indeed possibly reducing harm.
Again, you misunderstand, I have never said all these new pills are great or safe or anything along those lines. I am not talking about pills when I say MDMA is MDMA, try and understand this please. I am an advocate of testing pills but also against dispelling drug myth and speculation.
I am not trying to patronise you I am merely a humble, inexperienced greenlighter asking you to do your job, and avoid comments such as:
"you are commited to bullshit mate, if there's one thing i can't knock it's your commitment."
A comment aimed at a person who was possibly the first to identify a substance - through SUBJECTIVE experience - that may potentially be harmful.
it was a jokey comment, taken in the spirit it was intended by the person which it was aimed towards. I can see how it may look from someone who wasn't in on it though.
hopefully you can understand what I have been saying now.
