"I have decided there is a new term I am gonna start using.
The self-loathing vaper.
The self-loathing vaper is the vaper who blames himself and his fellow vapers when irrational fears of ignorant people are exploited to create and enforce bans. Sure, they could fight the ban, or raise some hell and try to get it reversed...but that would be a lot of work. Instead, they turn on their fellow vapor and regurgitate absurd vaping urban legends like:
1) The obnoxious vaper: This vaper goes around "blowing clouds of vapor" in unsuspecting children's faces. This creature is apparently quite rare, since even in the age of video recording phones, I have yet to see a video of a live member of this species in action...
2) The attention grabbing vaper: This vaper is not content merely to vape. He MUST bring lots and lots of attention to himself. They are know to carry portable disco ball set ups with them to grocery stores, schools, restaurants, etc. so they are glitzy and noticeable. They will shout loudly that, "I have a RIGHT to vape!" every chance they get, or if they see they are being overlooked.
So rather than put the blame where it belongs (on the ANTZ) they turn on our brothers and sisters, and blame us for these irrational, liberty robbing bans. To be clear, every owner of a building has the right to deny or allow vaping. What I refer to here, are city wide and state wide bans that deny the owner his property right to make that decision for himself. If only we would all slink outside to vape where we are told to go, they would stop punishing us for our "uppityness". This is the central theme of the self-loathing vaper's message.
Thanks, but no thanks. The ANTZ are bullies. Bullies only respect strength and confidence.
Let's show them some, shall we?"
