I would like to see and end to the practice of the continued citation of urban legend/myth of the ban-causing militant vaper. (aka BCMV)
I have repeatedly asked for documentation, pictures, video, etc. throughout this thread of this elusive creature. Many people who disdain public vaping are here taking the usual shots at the practice, and I respect that right to speak their minds and I respect their decisions. We all must make our own decision for ourselves of when to vape, and when not to. What I cannot stomach, is the repetition of this canard when there is zero documentation to substantiate this absurd fantasy. I interpret this myth creation of the BCMV as some sort of guilt/manipulation tactic with no basis in fact. I am not going to let it go unchallenged.
Someone prove me wrong, if you can...I am prepared to be proven wrong. It certainly won't be the first time!
The ban-causing militant vaper doesn't exist! The tooth fairy, the Unicorn, and the honest politician are the equivalent of the ban-causing militant vaper.
I read here many times a week about ban X because guy X was running around "blowing clouds of vapor in people's faces". I am not denying militant vapers exist. I am not denying bans happen. I challenge the causality between the two.
I am challenging the purveyors of this tale: give concrete evidence that a militant vapor X caused ban X. Continuing to represent that as a factual sequence of events (without citations) will be challenged by me every time I see it.
Expect it!
