Good. I wish I had been around more yesterday but I just had NO idea things where going to blow up like they did. I wish there had been a camera on my face when I logged in about 11pm last night after logging off at 2:30 that afternoon. It was probably pretty funny...i think I did a literal translation of WTF?!?!?!.

I really hope Norex can stick around and contribute. I think someone with passion (even perhaps sometimes misdirected) is never a bad thing on this forum.

This is what I saw when I logged on a few hours after I left:
You've got nothin on me :lol:

Roo,

My only advice is take maybe a few days off. But honestly, I think all of this will pass soon. Every community I have been a part of goes through it's dark days. It's just life and it happens everywhere, even the best places on the web. But more importantly, we all have been extremely stressed lately by what has been going on. Some have dealt better than others, and a few have dealt very badly. But I think it is real important to remember that it really is outside forces casing us all to go a bit wanky.

Hopefully, over the next few months, we will figure out the sky really isn't falling. And things will relax some. I guess all I am saying is don't read too much into what has happened and think that is what Snuson has suddenly become. I think it really is a temporary aberration.

And the 90% of us who are here and care will just need to work a little bit harder keeping things sane and friendly. I owe it to Snuson, and everything I have gotten from it, to do that work right now. I'd really like you here beside me while I do. :wink:

EDIT: I made it sound like there are only a handfull of good people here, especially with regard to those who have been around a while. Not true. There are still lots and lots of seemingly great people here. I didn't mean to imply that the good ones are a minority, because I don't believe that to be the case. The vast majority of posters here I have no problem with whatsoever, and most of us know how to enjoy a forum and share information and opinions constructively. Thanks ~ Roo

The loud one's bring the most attention though :^/

I think it's a good idea not to say anything online you'd get your face broken for in real life. The net would be much better if people lived by that principle.

I hope you stick around Roo, you're a good guy :^)

Yea roo...i second what Lxs said above...and just so you know I didn't take what you said offensively at all. I was just more or less CYA to the people that were just going to say oh well he is a newb...why listen to him. Thats all I was saying I enjoy reading your posts and thanks for contributing here.

Words to live by! Unfortunately the ones that don't follow this principle are those that hide behind the internet. They do this because they're too chickensh*t to say those type things to people's faces.

Picture pimple faced 40 year old still living in mom's basement.

Thanks ctimb for providing this thread to put some closure on last night. I feel like I need to acknowlege it somehow, but I want to follow the advice of chaddizzy (i think is his name) and let those threads sink to the bottom. So I don't want to post anything there. I love this place. I visit here every day and occasionally post. It's just a great community, and really, a valuable tool in the harm reduction revolution. Seriuosly, lives will be saved from the information shared here. That's awesome. Did I say I love this place?

[ctimb2002]

lol...between mike and lucky strike its taken care of... while I normally would not condone that kind of thing...i think we can all agree that was not a bad idea all the way around.

[Roo]

Sage, lxskllr, and ctimb2002: Thanks guys! Your comments mean a lot. And lxskllr, I totally agree with your statement. Sage, good advice. I'm headed to Portland tonight and will be taking a break from the internet for the weekend And maybe longer...

I'm not your favorite snubie? *Sniff* *Sniff* Ok I'm over it.
