I wouldn't mind a recap post on what ASFB is taking medically and what he wants to gobble down recreationally. All these various drugs are hard to keep track of!

I'm assuming MB's redtext is self-inflicted humor (since they're a mod) and not someone's serious opinion on modding a comedy forum, but it's still pretty off-putting to Kramer into the thread and give a deadline like they're some movie villian about to unleash the World Weather Destroyer.

Lock I could see if you don't like the topic, but why gas? There's a lot of interesting stuff in the thread.

And the "support someone's descent into madness and death via overdose" seems pretty hyperbolic, at least the past few pages have been very clear that we all encourage him to stay clean and continue to improve his mental and physical health, and also not just post about drugs. If someone before that said they want him to continue to abuse drugs or hurt himself, then probate or ban that poster. But why remove the entire thread because of those few posters?

If "support someone's descent into madness and death via overdose" is about him asking for money without mod permission, then edit the posts to remove the info and tell him not to do that anymore. Probate him for breaking the rules if you want. Locking and gassing the whole thread seems to me to be too much of a punishment for a single broken rule.

I really don't know what "rules" for the thread would satisfy you here. If you don't want the thread here, just say that. I personally think the thread should be locked, and maybe goldmined, and he can start another one here (or in TCC or TAT like suggested if you insist on removing SFB from E/N) - but that's just because I think long megathreads discourage new posters from joining in due to feeling like they need to read the whole thing first, not because the whole thread is somehow tainted.

I guess I'm asking what you want threads here in E/N to be? A thread about a goon's struggle with surviving cancer, addiction, poverty, family drama, interspersed with interesting photos, effort posts about a country and place most of us know little about, comedic idiocy, and all the while slowly starting to climb out of the well (we hope) - seems to me like that's a thread for E/N.

Thanks for everything ASF! If you need it there are support threads here and TCC and elsewhere, otherwise post as much or as little as you want!

Take care of yourself and pet a Weedcat for us! :cabot:
