No, Foxy. Right off topic. The topic was about a government tax rip-off. Cannabis was not mentioned: that was one of your added extras and the beginning of the hijacking; nor was the subject the passing of someone's friend completely unknown to posters. There are counsellors available for personal loss and grief, and family. This is no place to air your personal problems. We all have our problems and setbacks, none of which are of interest to strangers.

Ah Goose, why don't you press the red delete button, since you think you are running the show.

The topic was of a government tax rip-off?

Well than the money that the government is
making from cannabis is certainly part of the discussion.
It's relevance I would have thought was obvious.

Foxy,

And you asked what is wrong with me! It was my thread, and I am telling you that the topic had absolutely nothing to do with cannabis or what money the government would get from cannabis. You either do not understand plain English, or your mind has been turned by your stubborn belief in the legend you have invented for yourself.

Hi ttbn,

Let it go old chap.

Discussions often go in various directions -
just because we start a discussion doesn't mean
we get to control it. Only the Moderator does that.
Besides we often learn more and gain more as the
discussion becomes more interesting to what we expected.

I'm sorry that this upsets you. But you do need to
lighten up a bit. It's not doing your health any good
to stress over the little things.

Foxy,

You cannot refute my argument and admit you are wrong, so you try to turn it back on me, suggesting that I’m “upset”, that I need to “lighten up”, and you kid yourself that you know something about my health. Trying to put me down that way is another form of abuse - a ‘shutup’ to people you cannot con with your blather. Your are the archetypical Lefty, ‘old girl’.

Discussions do not “often go in different directions”; they are steered in different directions by people like you who don’t have the answers you would like to have, so you toss in something to confuse the issue, and, as I said, ‘shut up’ the person who is not in agreement with your ideas and thoughts. You are not as abusive as your mates, Paul 1405 and SteeleRedux, who use sneers and outright abuse in their attempts to close down opponents: you are more subtle than than that, but it still won’t work, ‘old girl”.

So, no. I will not ‘let it go’.

Graham will be interested to know it is he gets “out of control”, not you and your mates. English expression, Foxy; English expression. You have too much to do with that semi-literate poster I no longer have any dealings with
