A thing to remember

There are many people that use the site that are in pain, are struggling, are dying even and I think they deserve an easier supportive respectful place. The term insult to injury taken literally especially with unfamiliar or new users. Be aware that respect is transferred and continues through the threads. Be free to say anything you feel but acknowledge that you never know what condition someone is in. All we can do is slow and remember where we are. Welcome.

Yes, a great deal in fact, more than I care to revisit but the contribution you make by support and respect is very real and is the only way I see to cure a depression. Charity is rare and abuse is all over, where is a reason? I try to reach out to new users and just remind them that there is value in being aware and hostility is not what the disabled need.

there are plenty of old members who attack newbies on a daily basis, but there are plenty of new people who do the same, thats the internet if you see something thats unwelcomed or inappropriate please hit report post so that the mods can be notified.

Most new to cannabis will not divulge their state of health, I don't. But the pervasive attacks are a style in which communication is becoming. I want to learn and share good info but change is systemic. The newest members carry the most potential. If reported does one know by who?

Well, you accept hostility and become indifferent to it. The earth suffers. A difference in opinion is the way to actually learn...if it cannot exist without malice we are stuck in confusion and anger....as will your plants. I actually beleive in rage as a valuable asset when it comes to protecting our exploitation. The best way to apply rage is when defending others best interests. When someone reacts with passion on your behalf it makes you feel powerful love. Try it, just be correct and tell the truth unmercifully....it is your human right. Just save it.

I grow for medical reasons, not personally so much for me as it is for others. Either way, it happens. If I get a reply like that, I just ignore it and move on. Does it piss me off? Of course, but I don't feel the need to acknowledge it, doing so does no good. Maybe they are having a hard day, maybe they too are dealing with medical issues. As for me, I try and be as helpful as I can and as positive as I can. I remember being new, in fact I still am. I also remember trying to comprehend allot of this new information and how frustrating it was for me.

Either way, it's easier to ignore it and move forward before it breaks out into an all out war.

this is wise, I am stuck in fear that people are losing their ability to understand how to learn....I am intense and it does me good when I apply it in the very beginning of a thread. I convince myself that I am helping a lot when really some ignoramus just bugs me. You are right, my brothers greatest strength was his silence. He wasted no words and everybody paid attention.

what are the consequences?
whatever follows the consequences of the rule guide, some are not warranted for anything ot be done, some posts get deleted, some threads get closed, sometimes if users have too much stacked against them we let them go its whatever calls for by the situation at hand, but you dont need to worry about that all you need to do is click "report post"

THAT being said, careful too, sometimes it is incredibly misdirected. I don't know, Nelson Mandela spent 30 years in rpison without getting pissed off. I'd like to be like THAT.

Well, I am of the belief that the measure of a grower is what outlasts the ashes, the cultivated self any garden will mirror. To the young, I say see how thriving is self control above all. Find applications of what you are discovering about your babies into the growing of oneself. I sculpted for many years and we shaped each other, but technique without innovation is not art and not fun.

Playing guitar all day is teaching me the same things... What I think is what comes out in how I play, and on top of that, if I want to continue making my bread off my skill as a musician (half the time now, almost getting to full-time), the key is to keep doing things I have never done and never heard. Without that comes complacency and boredom, but put technique together with creativity and the hours just fly there aren't enough on one night.

This meditation is starting to affect my whole being. So sculpting does the same? I should take it up. Got ten thumbs but hey if I can conquer six strings I can be the boss of some clay I guess...

Anyhow man, I just entered a very peaceful phase and I wish only the same for you and everybody else on here. It's feeling GREAT so I'll ask my little genie to send you some too. Have yourself an AWESOME weekend.

Good to meet you, BTW.

It has been generally accepted that models of enlightenment, are happy and calm and always at peace as are those with Downs syndrome. This politenment idea is impossible. The extremes must be known right? opposites create duality. In rage, our binary peace is extended potentially. I know ugliness and my art is the evidence.
