| Hi, have you had a chance to peruse my response from yesterday at the article's discussion section? There are many sources describing Buddhists using drugs (in the times of yore) and I think these might have influenced the general public into this mistaken belief. | |||
| Also, you write: | |||
| ::: And this edit seems like weasel words: | |||
| ::: ''at least according to the author signed as "DJ Short", in a publication in "Cannabis Culture magazine"'' | |||
| I don't think you're referring to the Misplaced Pages's definition of ]. My edit was, in fact, an attempt to satisfy your critique of leaving the preceding statement as "objective", by only referred to the publication. My intent was to emphasize that this statement is of the author of the article. Feel free to delete the fragment of the sentence you cite above, if for whatever reason you find it not objective (but clearly it has nothing to do with ]s). | |||
| Per your comments on the magazine's forum - while I admire your passion for accuracy and your will to educate them, the editor's response seems quite reasonable. After all, in many cases they are referring somebody's words (in interviews, books, etc.), and they did admit the haikus were not "real" (although you should realize, that all haikus in English are to some extent fake. There is only a traditionalized form of translation and writing them in Englih, but it is pretty far from the original Japanese versification for language reasons, and also there are so-called contemporary free-form haikus, which are close to ] poetry. But I don't think it matters that much). | |||
| Credibility of this magazine as a source is, in my view, very limited and I would not learn haiku structure from them. I do believe, though, that if there is any magazine that can professionally write something about different kinds and strains of marijuana distributed 20 years ago, that'll probably be them. NRA publications also have limited credibility - but if I wanted to know about gun subtleties, I would assume them to be a useful source. It is their core business, after all - and while being ignorant about haikus will not take readers away from a cannabis magazine, mistakes and slips in articles on marijuana actually may. Being accurate about existence of strains is almost the only thing they really have to be truthful about (and of course you are right that they quite likely will minimize and belittle the medically proved negative effects of cannabis intake). ]|] 23:24, 4 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| * Oh, I see you removed the source as well. I disagree with this decision. My perception is that you took offense to their silly comments about Buddhists smoking marijuana. Still, I am not an expert and also, I don't want to start a revert war. Perhaps someone else will drop a couple of cents in. ]|] 23:28, 4 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| *: You seem to mistakenly take the magazine to be scholarly. They are not scholars at all. It is, at best, a pop-cultural magazine, with particular focus on marijuana. I don't expect them to be accurate about haikus, honestly. But a versological slip is hardly a proof that they don't know about marijuana strains. By analogy - if NRA magazine published a sonnet and called it a haiku, it wouldn't make them unreliable about guns. ]|] 23:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| *:: I cut out your RfC from the article and added it to the discussion. I cut out somebody's (yours?) template from there to add a new one - I hope it is ok, as it didn't work previously. ]|] 23:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| * Hello. I don't mind your reverts, but calling my definition of the RfC as not adhering to Neutral Point of View does not seem to be very fair. It is, however, only natural to assume that our own perception and wording are more neutral and elegant, so I'm leaving your description in the template. ]|] 23:53, 4 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ==Buddhism and marijuana== | |||
| With all due respect, your own opinion and the opinion of your colleague Buddhists, whom you kindly offer to consult, are not entirely falling under credible sources of information neither. However, I gave you , or , or , or links to chew on the issue of drugs and Buddhism and to at least show you that the issue is not as obvious as you seem to believe and it is not only the magazine you criticize who claims that some time ago some Buddhists were using cannabis (although, as I said, this may be totally wrong - but the idea is out there and not only supported by this one magazine). ]|] 00:01, 5 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| : I'm not trying to prove or disprove the use of marijuana by Buddhists. All I'm saying is that it is extremely easy to find information about Buddhists using cannabis and it does not make sense to blame one particular magazine for a cultural notion (perhaps an ]) that is already out there. But of course there are also many published articles and books on the subject, such as or or or or . In spite of what your friends may say from their own experience, there are reliable sources to prove the historical use of marijuana in Buddhism. Therefore it is very premature to claim that the magazine is totally unreliable, basing on the info they give on Buddhists and marijuana. They may be wrong, but the plethora of publications gives them good reasons to support this view. ]|] 00:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :: I'm, as I admitted, not an expert - my only knowledge about the subject comes from google. The links I gave you above come from the first 10 results of a search in http://www.scholar.google.com which is my typical resource for more scholarly works, although you seem to disprove them as a whole. I assure you that both in martial arts or e.g. RPG edits we sometimes refer to specialized magazines. I'm not saying that ] is a superb source, all I'm trying to point is that '''if''' the article and its ilk are to be kept in Misplaced Pages, the only sources of some credibility will be like this magazine. In no way was I trying to upset you and if I did, I apologize. ]|] 00:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::: Oh, and one more clarification per ''FRINGE'' - as written before, I do not support this theory (if I did, I would make edits basing on the given academic sources in articles on Buddhism or marijuana). But even if the theory was totally out of the blue, if it is notable and widespread enough, it deserves a place in Misplaced Pages (which, although, I am not going to provide myself, as I do not wish to write articles about it). All I was trying to prove to you (and again, apologies, if it upset you) was that criticizing the validity of one particular pop-magazine because of their misconception that Buddhists smoke marijuana is unjust - there are too many sources on this theory to blame only ], that's all. ]|] 00:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
