Cannabis Compassion club/coop for Puna

[punafish]

It seems to me that one important piece of common ground is being overlooked here: Jon believes--albeit for different reasons--that pot ("dope" in his ancient, obscure dialect) should be legalized. I would think that pot proponents would embrace him--whatever his verbiage or political leanings may be.

As for the "name-calling" allegations made above, in the context of this forum the idea of making snippy comments (I'm guilty on occasion) while avoiding outright name-calling is akin to finding a loophole in a contract--you get your sarcastic dig in without officially violating the name-calling rule. I see little difference between name-calling and snarkiness; both belong in the "uncivil" category.

Folks who respect opinions that differ from their own usually get respect in return. (Not always cuz life just ain't that fair.) But it surprises me that someone who dishes out controversial opinions with sarcastic (sometimes political) digs would be surprised when they don't get warm, respectful responses in return.

That said, we're all big boys and girls. Most mature adults can take the sarcasm and name-calling. Just not sure why rational folks would choose it over civil discourse.
