I posted for two reasons.

I think the lifestyle is interesting. Many of us can probably relate to needing something “more” and the traditional things don't suit us.

Also, the previous discussions here were so focused on SF being out of control that I don't remember anyone suggesting it was targeted or personal.

Is it flagged because the headline seems to be speaking ill of the dead or something else?

sorry, but the dude is really not that important that we need a weekly update on him taking drugs (and I'm guessing that yes, some people strongly dislike the "lets dig in his dirt" angle being spread through the media, given some of the comments on previous posts)

Interesting why was this flagged? Considering we already has some previous discussions on the Bob Lee incident?
