Dear NORML,
I was wondering whether you have an official response to this thread: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Number=5570516
I have been an enthusiastic supporter over the years, both financially and through volunteer efforts. No more, as I see what passes for "management" in your organization. I'm afraid to make any suggestions lest you share Mr. Tiger's penchant for hostility against concerned members. However with all due respect, you may want to reel in your chapter heads before they alienate all your potential supporters.
Best regards,
-Y
I like being a buttinsky. Anyway I've sent them money, where's the accountability?

Hrm, I didn't want trouble to start I just thought it was odd. I don't think you should be angry at them, maybe he was having a bad weekend.

Many people are protective of their work, especially when it is for something they truly believe in.. so don't feel bad if they're not jumping at the opportunity to have some stranger that just emailed them start redesigning their webpages. They may not have the ability to make their site as slick as it could be, but they get their message across.
Eh, when business ensued we of course would have a conversation over the phone and whatever else they would need would be provided. I didn't care that they didn't "jump at the chance", I found it odd that they wouldn't even hear about it, then went on a long rant about "the war"... you guys didn't see that email...
I support them, rock on. I am still willing to help them but that is one of my only skills that I think they could use. They do not seem to care about the CU-B incident.

Really? Cause I'd like the guy booted from the organization and blacklisted from all the headshops in the US and ass-raped by an authentic American bison. I am angry at him, he's a douche and there's no excuse to treat anyone that way. If he had such a fucking bad day and he can't control himself, he should work at a pork rendering plant not dealing with the public. Especially for a volunteer supported organization, I think it's total bullshit. Fuck those guys, I wish I could file to get my donations back. No wonder weed is still illegal if this is what passes for a reform organization. I have half a mind to drive out to Longmont and see what type of pathetic human scum we're dealing with here. You goddamn hippies, get pissed off when someone dicks you around like that!! Don't just write it off as a bad day! Some people are actual dicks!

i think weed is still illegal because people do stupid things while being on the substance. I have done way worse things on alcohol and other drugs then weed.

You don't want to see the next emails then.
I still plan on doing something, somewhere, to help pot become legal. If I can get to 10 people and have them understand that pot can be used with care and can be a great substance, I would be very happy. We'll see.

Hello,
Thank your for brining this to our attention. I'm very sorry you had a negative experience with one of our chapters - certainly this is not the way to treat out supporters.
I'll forward your email to the appropriate person. If you have any further questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me anytime!
Regards,
Karen Malovrh NORML Chapter/Outreach Coordinator
Yeah they blew me off, but at least they were nice about it. You hippies really aren't doing NORML any favors by overlooking this kind of thing, the only guy you're helping is that asshole in Longmont.
