Mods abusing power should be a banable offense.

Agreed.

I honestly don't see how this is right. This seems very "middle ages". People shouldn't be able to abuse their power.

he wil be back tomorrow,
but nothing will be over until LEARYFAN
admits he was wrong, at least

I want Learyfan to not only apologize to e-chode, but to make a public announcement to the whole shroomery community.

(I almost just shit my pants, a woodbug fell on my hand when I was typing this  )

E-chode was an asset to the Shroomery.

I do not believe he is an asset nor do I believe he did anything wrong.

I don't like the dude. I don't think a ban was necessary though.

---

Somebody who doesn't agree with his opinions clearly realizes that the ban was unjust.

That should say something right there.

Take a quick look at e-chode's trade ratings.  The bulk of them are from free spores and seeds he's given out. 

If you were able to look in the Anything Goes forum, you would see that a percentage of the (albeit small) population post there thanks to Supporter Accounts he's purchased.

He interacts with many people via PM regarding grows and other related info.

Now tell me he's not an asset.

Stop talking already.

See, meatx, mattz, just give the reference.
Then stop the damned agitating.
Bump when necessary.

Sometimes i despair when i read this shit. Just state and reeeeeference the case clearly and succinctly, then leave it alone.

mattzdope said:

I'd just like to point out that everything e-chode said was on topic. I honestly cannot see how he "hijacked" the thread as stated. He was talking about raves, ecstacy, and blowjobs which were all on topic seeing as all of these things do go on at raves.

I feel obliged to respond to Learyfan's question about since the thread was locked. No, it wasn't a cheap shot...your post was very juvenile and came off as " No one sold me drugs". People get banned, talked down to for that shit regularly, you aren't above anyone else. I dared not post more than smileys, because you would have surely banned me in your typical overzealous fashion (and probably not admitted to it, per usual).

Very weak of you to ban people for going much less off topic than in the typical pub thread...just because it was your thread and you thought they were disrespecting you. Your multiple threads whining about no one selling you drugs and giving much too specific locations violate IMPORTANT rules for the safety of the counter-culture...yes more important than the rule violated when you got butthurt for people bringing humor into a bitchfest about obtaining drugs. I think The Pub would be much better off without you as a mod.

I say the admins re-do the pub like they did to OTD last week. There are a few mods there I'd like to see be demodded.

MeatSpace said:

Nope.

The mods are COMPLETELY ignoring this.

He came to my thread for the sole purpose to ridicule me, litter my thread with thinly disguised insults and to be nasty in general.

That sums it up. If it wasn't your thread, it seems you wouldn't have given a shit, and probably wouldn't have even given punishment a thought. Click through some threads other than your own and you'll see there is a lot of making fun of things the stereotypical Pub member holds dear. You'll see sarcasm in about every thread to deal with anything hippy/rave/music.

I hope pride won't prevail and someone up top will recognize the absurdity of enforcing a rule only when it personally affects a mod and demod arbitrary rule enforcers.

learyfan's post reeked of disrespect for a subculture
now, when members of this subculture responded with anger,
they were banned

i'm willing to bet money that if i posted a thread in the pub
about how jam bands sucked because i can't find acid at the concerts,
i would be banned, the thread locked, &tc.
in my mind, learyfan went out of his way to insult this paticular subculture, all because he couldn't find drugs at a party.
he should've expected to catch heat from members of the subculture,
on a drug message board.
banning those who naysay his comments is ignoring the problem.
the problem is learyfan-
show some friggin respect for subcultures that aren't yours!
an apology would be nice, since i imagine there will be no unbanning of e-chode before this 24 hour ban is up.
and excuses that mods should be treated w/ respect aren't applicable, IMO, b/c learyfan disrespected this subculture by his post.
the ban was out of order and uncalled for.
learyfan should practice what he preaches,
that is,
respect for all forms of the psychedelic subculture.
