I need some advice from my fellow Elites.

Just about everybody here should be aware of the trouble I had in the Coffeeshop when "SICC" decided it would be fun to troll it. He stated in one post that he did not like the rules.

But I noticed in a thread he started, the Party Cup thread, that he is not so averse to rules as long as they are his.

I've been giving some serious thought to sinking down to his level and fucking around in a thread he cares about.

As far as I know, he received no infractions for his funny business in the Coffeeshop. Hell, a Mod joined in. So I don't really fear an infraction, because I would simply demand equal treatment.

I need some guidance.

I'm getting weak. Help me noodle this out.

Two wrongs dont make a right. I dont think it wasn't intentional and emotions grew too quickly. I'd say move on, use the ignore button and keep the shop open. Unfortunately, this is an open forum and we cant control others actions or words. If someone, in the eyes of the mods, gets out of hand then "they" can somewhat deal with it and even that proves to be more counter productive than the desired result.

Maintain the high standards you set in the shop JO and we'll help you deal with the riff raff.

I miss seeing Wiki passed out in the corner, Rachael in her skimpy midriff showing tops and sharing smoke and good convo with the crew :hump:

Just let it go.We all get into disagreements with other members sometimes, but for the most part, if we give it time to cool down,we work it out. Just open a new coffeeshop.

If merely mentioning something which actually took place is whining, then I'm a whining fool.

In truth, I was laying out the situation along with my reasoning and asking for advice on how best to proceed.

If you have a problem with me mentioning it, maybe you should not have done it.

If the owner of an electronics store forbids someone selling car stereos out of their trunk in the store's parking lot; is he stingy, too?

I'm not pissed at you, by the way. We simply disagree and I can respect that. And you can do as you please, but don't expect any applause if you happen to rub someone the wrong way.

not looking for "applause"..... just chuckling at how bent out of shape some can get over some make-believe between friends...... yet again, I suppose that even in a fantasy world (where NOTHING matters), it is a sad fact that greed and capitalism cannot take a backseat to friendship and generosity..... kinda sad IMO...

but I will be man enough to apologize, as I obviously hurt your feelings on some level that I cannot comprehend.....

Walk on:blsmoke:

Spare me.

If my feelings were truly hurt by that episode, I would have been in "SUCC"s Party Cup thread pissing in his party cups every day. Making random bullshit posts about shopping for new tires for one of my automobiles. And I would have done it without consulting anybody beforehand.

But that is not what transpired, I took some time to cool down and contemplate how best to proceed. Then I got some pretty good advice here and I decided to take it.

Can you comprehend that?

No..... i cant.... I cannot comprehend any of it..... I dont see where you got all upset in the first place...... just eggin you on to see if maybe I can get a sensible point of view...... seems like there was a personal issue between you two...... if not, you take the internet, and your threads, WAY too fucking seriously......

I suppose if you dont like my point of view, you could always make a martyr post and close the thread..... it is YOURS afterall ;)

I don't consider any thread to be mine. All of the threads belong to RIU. We start them, that is all.

'Martyr post.' LOL. I explained to the regulars why I shut it down, then I did it. In fact, I tried to re-open, but another shithead came along. So I shut down again. No 'martyr post.'

I guess you didn't comprehend that either.

If a shithead wants to misbehave, it is my prerogative to close any thread I open.

There's one more point I would like to make and hopefully you and I can put this behind us. It goes to your remark about 'greed and capitalism.'

One of the points I was trying to make with the fantasy was that we as a community will have to shed the black market mentality. When cannabis is legal and out in the open, we must be willing to evolve as well.

Once re-legalization is realized, countless opportunities will arise for entrepreneurs to make a living. Businesses provide good and services as well as provide employment. What is so wrong about that?

You don't interfere with business when you are on the property of the business. Compete all you want elsewhere, but any business will throw you out by undercutting them inside the door.

You are training to be a botanist. Do you plan to grow for free? If not, then by your logic you too will be greedy.

Perhaps the Anti's are not the most formidable obstacle we face.

Perhaps it is us.
