So does this mean that someone will get back to me on my exclusive interview with a certain state senator, and whether or not I can post the link
because it is about industrialized hemp?
I am guessing that the committee may actually be looking at facts, including the fact that %99.9 of the worlds population does not consider it a
drug?
Just askin'....

Heed this very carefully . I have already mentioned how the appointment of the committee was a rushed process the membership shouldn't suffer because of this . If you fail to let the disc committee to at try and come up some workable ideas then you will be on a slippy slope . IMO it is likely that the topic of sexuality will come under attack from disruptive forum gangs in the future . So if the response is always going to be to ban subject matter you are going to run out of worth while subject matter .
Personally I am sick of those members who chose not accept the T&C they agreed to and make ill rational claims about censorship . Now if a T&C obeying and long term member ( some members who went on to become mods coped more warns then I have ) , like me cant have a direct say in policy matters then I expect those that do to be able to so.

A cogent point. However, our deliberations are not 'secret' they are private. The reason is simple. Too many cooks spoil the broth.
I have no 'currency' with which to expect you to trust our good will. But I would hope you can muster enough to refrain from vilifying the committee. We are trying to be both thorough and expedient.

I agree, i don't think the whole committee should be disbanded, because of a mistake by one member.
Regardless, we will see what happens.

Of course not, I am definitely not trying to "vilify" any of you, I apologize if that is what my post sounded like. I can only ask you to reread what I said, and understand part of my post was in reply to SkepticOverlord . His words "portions of what was anticipated to be a confidential speculative discussion has been "leaked".
In truth I don't see where such an issue as this needs a "confidential" or "private" aspect to it in the long run. I DO see where you guys would need to have your discussions, look at all the options, ask for suggestions (as what is taking place in this thread) make some choices, and then take your steps to inform the rest of us not on the committee.
But in my kitchen, the more cooks the happier we all are. It's because of the number of "cooks" I like having in my kitchen that one
Thanksgiving we accidentally ended up with wine in our pie crusts, dang that was really good, and I have continued with adding wine to my pie crusts
ever since. 
Well, possibly we ended up with wine in the pie crusts because all the cooks could not stay away from the wine? LOL My point is, that sometimes, the more people working on a problem(cooks in the kitchen), the more "out of the box" thinking that happens and quite often is when most of the really great brain storming takes place. If you can keep on topic. (oh, and I so don't want to say "Kellogg cereal box".)
From what I know of those on the committee, only from reading postings of course, I expect you guys to do the best you can.
Peace
