....as I was told to fuck off on my very first post, for absolutely no reason, I'm wondering if this is the sort of community that welcomes new members and I've just had a bad experience, or have I stumbled into a clique and should not waste my time?

Same thing here basically. Ive met some very nice and very pretentious people. I'm here to learn and be a part of this growing community as well . I hope more people can be reasonable and patient. This is an outlet used by some to stroke egos though, not just to learn or teach. I'm patient for now. I might check out another forum if it doesn't change.

Don't let the trolls get you down.
Water off a duck's back - there is an anti-asshole feature (the ignore button) that works wonders.
Welcome to RIU.

I'm honestly not sure how to NOT take it personally, as you've just said the way you're received depends on you and your actions, and I wasn't the least bit rude with my post. :-/

Due to the anonymity of the internet, people behave somewhat badly. If someone becomes too annoying, you can put them on "ignore" and never give them an audience.

I've seen the research. Read it all before. Did I, or did I not say that my daughter was also suffering from a similar disease? I'm sorry it hurts your feelings that I don't automatically buy into pro-cannabis propaganda any more than I buy into anti-cannabis propaganda. I'm not stupid or unreasonable, and a handful of anecdotal evidence means nothing. Show me a real study with real measurable results and I might change my mind, but it simply isn't there. Wanting something to be true doesn't make it true.

Also, I was nothing but polite when I stated my opinion. Had I typed out my actual reaction to the thread, I might see a reason for your childishness. But maybe you're just shy and looking for a way to start a conversation. Otherwise why would you have followed me to this thread?

"Wanting something to be true doesn't make it true." For many, it does.

Wondering if there is anyone on here that lives in my area? Looking for new friends in a new town! The kind that don't mind sitting around a magical fire pit, listening to great music on the beach and passing around my friend Falcor.
Coos Bay/North Bend Or.

No mate, there are some proper beautiful people in here. I've only recently come back after a break and one of the first threads I came across was the positivity thread! Before I took my break I was involved in some exchanges with a frosty fucker in the uk growers thread. My own countrymen trolling like complete nobs. Those people are a minority and need to get a grip.
Welcome to you, I extend a big smile and a digital handshake.
Be cool...... Ish

I like the sound of a magical fire pit, across the pond though. Drat

I'm north of you, up in the coast range, for sure there are some legit people in your area. Sorry to hear your in Coos Bay.;) On another note I want to add that proper rest and diet support the bodies natural ability to heal, so in that context this herb can help. There are also lots of legit studies coming out with new understanding of CBD's and THC and how they help the body, I'll try and link some in later. You can't definitively say this herb heals, just like you can't say that it doesn't. Now for all the haters here, I have found that attacking someone usually goes hand in hand with a weak argument or insecure person. You know people wouldn't be talking this way in a grow shop or otherwise face to face. For myself, if your logic convinces me and my ego takes a hit, I'm still a better person for it."Knowing" is better than "believing". Believers always have doubt and so fight really hard to prove themselves, it's insecurity. If you know and don't have anything to prove, you can let those lil mosquitos go. Of course it's a little gratifying to smack em down, but are you here to learn or boast or what? I have only been here a short while and am a little jaded by the lack of maturity at times. Give me logic and reason and most importantly the science. Talking bout reaction.... yeah yeah yeah yeah.....

There will always be flamers & trolls, the anonymity of the internet gives them that security blanket knowing the won't take a kick to the nuts for mouthing off.

That said, I just try and ignore them - it is much like putting a screaming child in the corner for a time out. :cool:
