   JCT: Seems Marcel Gignac thinks he's going to be welcome at   
   Stephen Godfrey's May 22 victory party but only I and Nova   
   Scotia Gold Stars are invited. We don't need the cowards on   
   the sidelines in the victory photos.   
      
   Marcel Gignac: I will be there but it won't be there to   
   support him... but to support everyone that testified to   
   keep his ass out of jail.   
      
   JCT: He's not going to support the guy who labored years to   
   get where he is now, he's going to support the witnesses who   
   labored half a day to keep his ass out of jail. Well, those   
   witnesses who kept his ass out of jail who are on his Gold   
   Star team with him have an invitation but if Marcel shows up   
   to try to horn in on the victory pics, you'll need to hiss   
   him out of the room. Seems when posted his threat to ruin   
   Stephen's Big Event, many of his "friends" turned not to be   
   so happy with him. Seems he's leaving social media, the   
   burner's too hot! Har har har. Good riddance to bad rubbish.   
      
   Marcel Gignac: This morning I wrote a post which explains my   
   discontent and disgust with a number of the ones in the   
   Canadian medical cannabis movement. I just never posted it   
   because I knew it would start even more shit and make me   
   again a target for an onslaught of stupidity.   
   For the last number of years I have let this shit slide...   
   but now it is getting to be too much. So... I realized that   
   the only solution is to stop using social media as a means   
   of communication along with stopping all forms of activism.   
   The only problem with that is I actually like some of you   
   people. So I am going to do the one thing I have never done.   
   I am going to start blocking people so I no longer have to   
   see their shit.   
      
   JCT: Hope you've been getting lots of shit, you traitor.   
      
   MG: If they want to talk about me.. then they can do so to   
   their hearts content. I no longer care.   
      
   JCT: Hurts to much to listen any more. Shutting your ears?   
   We'll keep talking about your sabotage anyway. Won't stop.   
   Har har har.   
      
   MG: So.. who will be blocked? Easy.. anyone and everyone   
   that I feel deserves it.   
   JCT: Anyone for repeal of prohibitions, that is. Antis are   
   no doubt will still be welcome.   
      
   MG: If you want to attack people for having their own   
   opinion,   
   JCT: No, I want to attack you for wanting to come to Stephen   
   Godfrey's decision to not support him. And for dissuading   
   people from getting on the Phelan Relief bandwagon. I hope   
   he doesn't have to see your face and you know how easily he   
   gets upset. So if you upset him, you'll be upsetting me too,   
   and I can be a lot more upset than pacifist Stephen can.   
      
   MG: if you have to resort to name calling or defamation of   
   character,   
   JCT: I try to fit the name I call you to the dirty deed.   
      
   MG: if you have to resort to insulting and ridiculing anyone   
   that doesn't bow down to you... well... I won't see it.   
   JCT: I'm sure your friends will tell you what everyone   
   thinks about you though, you'll find out, I hope.   
      
   MG: I don't give a shit what these people think of me.   
      
   JCT: I don't blame you, threatening to come and ruin   
   Stephen's party with your gesture of non-support had to have   
   puked out quite a few.   
      
   MG: I don't give a shit if they are upset that I won't   
   support their cause because I did my homework.   
   JCT: Wonder if he'll tell us what cause (could it be   
   repeal?) and wonder if he'll tell us what his homework found   
   to make him not like repeal?   
      
   MG: The post will be posted as the first comment... I   
   welcome all of them to comment as it will make it easier for   
   me to block/remove them.   
      
   JCT: Glad to see you gone. You deserved the revilement.   
      
   MG: I will call this ... 'practicing what I preach' .. I   
   have done my homework, I have investigated all sides, I have   
   watched the actions of the ones that claim to be the Gods,   
   and I have made my own choices that I stand by.   
      
   JCT: Look, just because Game Theory lets me figure optimal   
   strategy and pick winners doesn't make me a God, though   
   compared to a dunce like you, I can accept the comparison.   
      
   MG: The same as you should.   
   JCT: Stand by your error like a man.   
      
   MG: Or.. I can just close this account and move on.   
      
   JCT: Please, get lost, haven't you figured out that you've   
   soiled your bed around here?

   JCT: Nice to see so many other people who would also LIKE to   
   see you gone. Marcel's big treatise:   
      
   Marcel Gignac: Activists, Advocates, and Potstar-Wannabes   
      
   JCT: Wannabees? Compared to arm-chair quarterbacks like you   
   on the sidelines wanting to steer us straight, our Gold   
   Stars are real Pot Stars in the game.   
      
   MG: Many don't realize what the difference is between the   
   ones involved in the Medical Cannabis movement.   
   JCT: Wish he mentioned the difference he's talking about.   
      
   MG: And sometimes it gets hard to tell for those new to this   
   world of infighting. Because of their newness they become   
   easy prey.   
   JCT: Easy prey to finding out what a anti-repeal rat you   
   really have been all along.   
      
   MG: It is true that there is power in numbers. The issue is   
   how those numbers are achieved.   
      
   JCT: Yes, lots of people organized into union in the wrong   
   way must make that union wrong. Philosopher.   
      
   MG: An activist is a person who makes an intentional action   
   to bring about social or political change.   
   JCT: And you made an intentional action to slow down repeal,   
   we noticed. Why do you think people are hissing you and you   
   have to shut down to avoid their spite?   
      
   MG: They protest, carry signs, do interviews, and try to   
   bring actual change in whatever cause they believe in.   
   JCT: Unfortunately, Marcel's kind of activism never seems to   
   win anything.   
      
   MG: Advocates are ones that speak for a specific group or   
   individual. Many of these can easily overlap to being   
   activists as well but always representing the group or   
   individual they are advocating for.   
   In the Medical Cannabis community I see it as a bit more   
   defined. I see the advocates as the ones that are teaching   
   the masses on the issue at hand. They research, they learn,   
   and they teach. They are the ones that find the proof to   
   dispute claims in opposition. The activists, I see as the   
   ones in the trenches on the front lines. They take the   
   information from the advocates and use that as the base
