> Well, Jah, sigh all you want to, but having done a lot of reading and writing for a living, my reading of some of those posts on that link (and many others) leads me to believe that some are in fact advocating 'going out and taking drugs.' I'm not making it up...
My Leary remark was off-the-cuff & meant little. The fact that your argument now concentrates upon this demonstrates to me how weak yr original argument was. I have better things to do than pointlessly trawl thru the archives.
> Also, I do know the difference between discussion and promotion, thanks very much. I actually used the word 'advocating', and that's also different from 'promotion.'
How different? In my dictionary 'advocate' is defined thus: "To speak in favour of; recommend." Isn't this how one promotes? Indeed, definition 3 of 'promote' is 'advocate'.
Anyway, time to finish this non-argument.
