Aye, and that's simply the reason. We have some brilliant people on here and I'm sure it'd be fun to go back and forth, but we know how heated that back and forth quickly gets (anyone on F-book can attest to that I'm sure lol.) That's why we've taken the stance on it. There's usually a pretty easy distinction between seeing what's cannabis related or not (or when people purposely start testing the boundaries of what's acceptable or not, that usually ends up being squashed pretty quick too.)
Troon, we do allow
some discussion of
cannabis related news topics and things like that; we
even have a forum setup for cannabis news items here. We like to think we can take things of THAT nature case-by-case, and generally it's people just talking about the actual articles and laws, not flying their political freak flag. And if they do, it will likely be edited/moderated as per our rules. Have to be honest bud, hasn't been an issue here in a long time.
We do have the rules in place for a reason (remember we've been doing this for years,) so while I appreciate your suggestion, we won't be changing our ruling on political discussion any time soon.
Appreciate your understanding on it fellas and I hope this explanation clears things up.
