Thank you! She's an extremely serious dog, I think that having 3 feline overlords might have something to do with it.(beautiful dog, BTW!)

First cat barbeque and now cat snacks. I suppose those are ways to make the world safe for dogs...

That's a bit like asking, "What does beer taste like?"...what does Scotch even taste like? I've never tried it (seriously).

Everybody should be able to say what he thinks, but as @Ableza said in a previous post, there's responsibility (on both sides) in that. If A says something which offends B and B asks A to stop (which is different than "shouting A down"), then A should respect B and change what he's saying (or stop that topic of discussion). B should give A the opportunity to change/stop his speech, though, before yelling, crying, filing a law suit, whatever. Once could be a mistake and should be chalked up to a misunderstanding.Good discussion. I contend that "feelings" are precisely where it needs to start. There is no easy-to-see bright line between someone made to "feel" marginalized and overt racism, sexism, misogyny, bigotry, etc. If you feel like you are being marginalized by depictions of cannabis use, then you have every right to complain about it to the appropriate entities. And you should. What if I told you that your feelings were ignorant and immature? That you have no right to feel that way because you'd just better get with the mainstream and suck it up? That if you don't then you will be derided by society and forced to live your life surrounded by images of people mocking your beliefs? That your feelings will be trivialized and derided because they do not conform to the mainstream? And what would be the difference between those comments (which I would never actually make, by the way) and similar comments made toward someone who feels marginalized by depictions or comments or policies based on the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, their country of origin or their religion? It's a slippery slope, no?
So the best solution is to err on the side of non-offense and to be as all-inclusive as possible. To have open conversations and listen without pre-judgement. And when you realize that you have offended, to make amends.
If A keeps on, though, then there's intent which to my mind makes it at least harassment. People shouldn't have to put up with that. Reasonable people don't. Something else to consider is even well-intentioned, polite, rational people don't get along with some others who consider themselves well-intentioned, polite, rational people. Frankly, those groups of people should stay away from each other because there's no way they'll ever agree or like each other.
Minding one's own business seems to be a dying skill these days. It is really hard to "live and let live" when you're in everyone else's business.

I was going to quote a post to remind everyone about the topic but I can't find it, so:
A few days ago we responded to a forum member's wish to take his Modi multi-bit for a walk. During the barrage of posts another member stated the Modi wall-wart's output is AC. I'll be darned, I must have seen what I expected rather than what was fact: they do have AC output. Given that, I have this question: if the Modi has "outboard voltage reduction" and "onboard rectification", what would happen if it was supplied with DC power of the correct voltage? Wouldn't DC simply pass through one half of the rectifier unchanged? So couldn't a Modi be supplied with a battery?

Well, let's hope you learned something and grew from the experience? So, maybe next time, it'll be a raging fire...!
