I said the "marketing tool" argument could never be logically consistant, but I still think it's valid. There's going to be some things that will make an owner go "hmm... no, this is our name on the line" and a thread about a 15 year old girl probably does that moreso than say, PJN's posts.

This is probably true. But if you take the forum in its entirety, I think such advertisers would probably be scared away anyway. I mean, threads on "how long was your first time," "what's your biggest log," comparing different vaporizors, and tons of discussion re: underage drinking, porn, etc...

You get my point. I just find the "marketing tool" thing silly. I do understand why a thread like this crosses a particular line, although I'd think things like the vaporizer discussion would too, since it's basically several users helping others to do something illegal.
