I'm perfectly willing to accept a ding based on the content of my posts (the ding itself is meant to either approve/disapprove of a specific post): I just hate when they are in retaliation for honest disapproval, or when they are otherwise personal in nature.
Actually, I was banned before due to a personal conflict with Mili concerning his treatment of newbies (when I was pretty new myself), but that's all ancient history IMO. And really, rep has never been an issue for me until I was blazed for my weed posts; my previous issues with mods have been...
I really don't understand what I've done here to risk a reprimand--this is a pre-existing thread about dings/rep, and I weighed in with my own critical opinion. I was only provoked to do so because of a lengthy "discussion" with LJB that started because he couldn't tolerate my single negative...
It was basically all high-rep veterans who submerged me on the pot issue, and I'd estimate that only about a third of my incoming dings are actually signed (which explains why I only sign some of my own)
And I don't mean to generalize about all mods, since some are simply concerned with running...
That comment was in reference to an ongoing discussion that LJB has been having with me--and I stand by my statement that calling someone a dork is not "bashing a mod", which I know is out-of-bounds. As a mod, he does a great great job and is a paragon of virtue, never letting his personal...
The whole BP rep game (not that it's specific to this site) is indeed pretty ridiculous. Mods in particular (this is not a bash, LJB, just a comment, in a thread meant for this type of thing, so put your red pen back in your pocket protector) seem completely unwilling to accept a single ding...
That's still a heck of a lot of smokers! At Ohio State alone that's over 10000 students toking up once a month, and I bet most of them would pass for a "normal college student", if there is such a thing. :D
R D R R :tongue2:
Strohs, the testing is obviously more drug-oriented, since as you mention alcohol testing is limited by time; I think the program's focus on alcohol will have more to do with education, prevention, and "counseling and follow-up care" (from the Dispatch).
JT made it very clear, talking to Herbie after the PC, that he does not intend to change his methods of dealing with individual infractions, because that would be in effect punishing players for all the transgressions that came before them. He questioned why a punishment that was good enough...
My first reaction to that news was that it was almost a pre-emptive move to ensure Hazell's future with the team (at least for a few years, until he's getting HC offers from major schools).
Gotta love the intolerance for a differing opinion on this site: you're a real enlightened bunch...
I especially love that pussy BN27 making the comparison between my disagreement with the criminalization of marijuana and some commie saying we should forsake our troops. There's a name for...
That's completely backwards. It's not society's obligation to provide aid to criminals (could you misread me more?), but it's not their obligation to revoke all rights to such aid just for minor drug crimes either. And it's not about helping one student, it's about helping the 600,000 people...
With the amount involved, Skeete was definitely some sort of middle man unless he's got a major growing operation going on as well: that's really why this raises my hackles so much, since they only got the little fish. As always happens, the dealer finds a new mover, and the weed is still...
Lloyd: No, they wouldn't: there would be no crime, so there would be no issue.
Strohs: the initial estimate of a half-pound was extremely high, and eventually the tally was determined to be 70-200 grams. That's not much at all, with a street value of $100-300.
LightningRod: Sorry, but I...
