Sid, A lot of us have echoed what Raasy has said, but as Evey has clearly stated - she is a grown adult and does not need or want us to show that we care for her wellbeing. It is her decision and her's alone so we should simply respect her decision and let this matter go or were just going to be in this cycle of advising what is best, it being ignored and the subsequent fall out.
If Evey wants to take any drug she is free to do so. We can only point out the risks involved, then how to take the substance safely, we cannot tell a person how to live their lives.
Not having a go at you Sid but we should not be almost bullying a person to not take drugs on a forum of people who take drugs.
Bear
How am I "almost bullying her" by saying Raas was more or less right about all this?
Aren't we here to encourage Harm Reduction? Not get people into more drugs while using less responsibly. That is not what we are here for yet what the mods approach has done.
I'm not apologising and haven't apologised to Evey because I didn't do anything wrong to her. I posted links in a thread when I should have left it.
The only thing I am guilty of is my somewhat harsh wording at times.
Nobody is asking her not to take drugs Bear. It's the fact the site is just introducing her to new ones and she's not listening to any of the HR members who are worth listening to have given her, Sprout is a good example.
I've come to the conclusion nothing can be done about it all now, if it had been stopped early yes. Now it would be cruel as Evey has as much right to EADD as you or I provided she's playing nicely which she has been.
The mods on the other hand have a lot to answer for in all this. If they can't see that and take accountability and criticism for their mess why are they in charge here. I was a mod on another forum and over there you would never see this complete denial and lack of willingness we have here to discuss anything. That's why we can't move on successfully. They're not strong enough characters themselves to take accountability and admit where they went wrong, ask the community what they think. What we have here is a self serving and self protecting dictatorship.
They keep saying to me if your not happy (like its only me who's not happy eh?) apply for a mod position. Only you can be sure if I do apply despite my broad knowledge of drugs and fine eye for detail with little care for the bullshit, there is no way I would get in. I've got infractions.
What this place needs is someone straight shooting like SHM running it. What we currently have is just dithering coupled with a lack of any attempt to preserve the once great community we had.
