I wouldn't suggest you guys policing that, instead, I would think we could just have an informal understanding with users as to the ground rules for this one particular thread.  Ultimately, sure, it could go astray, but with some discipline and restraint, it could be alright.  We could even have a companion thread for people to vent. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

How about the rest of the board spams the thread with butthurt and gobshite and you and Twid take care of the discipline and restraint by not rising to it?

Seems a more realistic solution

Alternatively do it via PM and post the results in a thread when finished.

I suppose those are also options, but it was Twid's idea so it is up to him how he wants to do it.

As to my legal name i dont really care too much. If i want to be a career musician id want it out there anyway. Its the day job thats different. I suppose that if i had the skills i could find out what oil corporation you indirectly benefit. Maybe youre comfortable with that.

So then what of the idea of using omf for this since thats the best way to avoid what?

The whole reason this was brought up was because of rwhn mentioned feeding cannabinoids to rodents isnt the same as primates smoking them. Mans got a point. And ive seen in my line of work that somethings are good for you in some way and bad for you in others. Like potatoes will prevent stroke but convert into sugar when digested. Even though i occasionally indulge in the ganj i admit that there may be health consequences that may not be apparent to most people. But thats why i want to keep the discussion purely medical. I mean i wouldnt expect any health deficits personally from my getting high about twice a year. But the conversation would be of scientific interest if it were kept strictly scientific

But if its just me and rwhn throwing abstracts around i dont see much of a point (sorry. Had to separate the thought. The longer the post the longer my phone takes to process it).

This seems more reasonable and realistic.

It also occurs to me that due to my email signature, Nigel also knows what room my desk is in too.  :lulz:

That'll be super-useful if I ever get real observant and also go to Boston again.  :lulz:

Well, you'll run into a few snags if you try to find me there:

It's rather difficult to find the front door. No lie. Everyone always gets lost on their first day.
To get in the front door, you need key card access.
To go anywhere on the elevator except to three floors, you need regular key card access. One is not accessible from the building at all (to keep them out, not us out. We share a structure with another entity), one floor is reception (you won't see much at all on the first floor) and one is special clearance (let's just say that floor does a different sort of research).

Tell me it's not puppies.  :sad:

Virology, in a nutshell.

Animal research is in the basement (big surprise), but that usually involves (redacted. Non-canids and to my knowledge, non-primates).

Still sad.

Working under a virology research place sounds creepy. But fascinating.

It occurs to me that there's enough posting about this shit to justify a WHOLE BOARD.
Maybe that's what we need to do with EBG.  :lulz:

YES.  It solves two problems:

1.  EB&G is as dead as yesterday's fish, and looks to stay that way, and

2.  Drug threads are to PD what pennicillin is to the clap.

Thing about EB&G is, I'm ever so glad I was slapped down for offering to help (by adding some new emotes, etc).  "YOU'RE NOT AN ADMIN THERE!", I was told when I offered, and I'm damn glad of it.

I might have wrecked everything.
