Moreover, I think it would fall outside of the civility guidelines to state that a poster isn't worthy of help.

OK, this is a semantics issue, because I never said anything about this individual's worth as a human being, nor do I believe that an individual is "unworthy" because of drug use. I did say that type of POST (one to help further illegal drug use) didn't seem to warrant our help.

This is, imho, a VERY precarious position. I suppose ANY question can be asked, that's true, no matter how offensive or sadistic or criminal or etc., but I truly wonder if there is a goal to make sure every poster is comfortable about asking every question. We do already have questions/posts that are deleted outright, which would surely make a poster uncomfortable.Shar
