I am tired , sick and will not be belittled by some pompous dictator. If Marco Renda had any sense of compassion he would have understood why I did my actions. Regardless if I broke TY rules or not, I thought this site had understanding. It seems not as it is run by a dictator who only cares about himself and not its members. He states that TY promotes the "compassionate and medical uses of marijuana"?????Where is the compassion. In my 4+ years here at TY I have never deleted a post , only ocassionally moved a spam thread for review. This is the thanks I get from our supposed "big Brother"....well buddy you are no big brother of mine. I see TY as a way for Marco Renda to make a living and that's it. The magazine is put together by the membership of TY,,,,,not you Marco Renda.....all you do is ask for contributers to write in your mag for FREE. And remember another thing without its members there would be no TY. I am sorry it has come to this, but it has. For those that wish to remain in contact with me I am always here to hear your voices.:( :(

Rules are to be abided by all members of TY including Moderators. It has been brought up in the TEAM TY room that NOBODY is to delete threads / posts. You knew this rule yet you went ahead and broke it.

As much as I hate to see anyone leave TY the choice is yours and not mine. If you ever want to return to TY that will be your decision to make. I stand by my decision to remove you from your super mod duties.

You have also accused me of turning my back on the Canadian members because I didn't attend the march in Toronto or Hempfest in Sault Ste Marie.

The members of TY don't need me to be present to have a get together. I do have a life outside of TY just like everyone else.

Yes it's true that some of the members of our community contribute to the magazine but there are many others who are NOT members of this community who contribute.

Now with all my travels promoting the magazine and web site this community continues to grow. I can honestly say that up till now I haven't made a dime as a matter of fact it's a struggle to keep things going.

I wish you all the best .

Take Care and Peace
Marco

I agree with Peter on this. Marco has been absent from all events within Canada and is using TY website and magazine money to travel Europe and see the world. It feels like we have been abandoned by our leader. I thought that by buying TY merchandise we were supporting the cause. I am hearing from various people that the contributions are spent elsewhere. To me this is dishonest and disrespectful to everyone doing their part to support the responsible use of medical marijuana. Please remove my account. This is my last post. I would like to say bye to all the friends I've made here and I hope to see you all at Hempfest. We will try to get the same campsite so you can find us. We will not be staying in a nearby hotel. You have all been wonderful and I will cherish the nice conversations and posts I'm had with all of you.

You got to be joking! Spending money that the magazine and website brings in... Now I have heard everything! Do you guys have any idea how much it costs to produce the TY Magazine? If you did you wouldn't have made that statement. TY mag has yet to make a dime it through the goodness of my parents that TY is still around. I would like to know what TY merchandise has been bought as we haven't had any merchandise for sale in quite some time now. I can go on and on about the lack of funds or financial support that I get to keep TY up and running. Maybe folks need to take a step back and do some research as to how much it costs. For your information a NEW SERVER that will be in place shortly costs well over $4,000 just for the server never mind the software and labour that goes into putting it together and online. Keeping TY online costs $200 per month. Printing the magazine costs over $36,000 and that doesn't include what I pay the design/layout person. Travelling around Europe and seeing the world LOL yep I get to see all the booths that are in the show as I spend my whole time at the show working the booth! Spain show starts on Feb 22 I leave Toronto on the 20 arrive on the 21 with just enough time to set up the booth. Show ends on the 24 so I take 1 day to rest before I get back on the plane... some vacation. I haven't abandoned TY far from it but I feel that it should be MY PEROGATIVE on what events I choose to attend. Supporting a march that in no way benefits TY is a WAIST OF TIME and MONEY! I guess I can thank you for Pete leaving because it was YOUR PM to me about PETE abusing his moderator powers that got him removed as a mod in the first place as it was you that complained to me that he DELETED YOUR POSTS! I still have the PM that you sent me stating this.

So much drama.

I feel USED and ABUSED by YOU considering that you sent me the following PM

Hi marco, sorry to bother you with this stuff but I have a request regarding the thread I started in Rantroom. I got a PM from Peter that I was trying to respond to but it accidentally got posted as post #13 in the thread. Because Peter is a moderator, I asked him to delete post #13 because it was meant to be private. He did this and then shortly after I went back to view the thread to see that he also deleted posts #11 and #12 leaving his own post as the last one and thus closing/locking the thread. I feel that Peter should not use his authority as a moderator to make personal and biased decisons. Could you fix this by restoring post #11 and #12 and re-locking the thread, leaving only #13 deleted? Thanks,
Sabrina

Hope you find happiness in your life

Take Care and Peace
Marco
