A cautionary tale

[oldsoldier]

I am posting this here because even though the Canada Forum has built up a reputation as a rough and tumble place, it is also home to some very caring and giving people.

Once upon a time there was a young man who told a very sad story to some very nice villagers, it seems he was mugged by a highwayman on his way through the woods to visit grandma and lost her bottle of magic whiskey. These villagers, being great fans of magic whiskey chipped in and donated replacement magic whiskey so that grandma could be happy and the nice young man would be able to take good care of granny.

Little did the good people of the village know that the nice looking young man was actually drinking all of the magic whiskey and sharing it with the HC guys down the road. I think he felt sorry for the HC guys because all of the villagers had been ...... in the bottles marked magic whiskey, but that is another tale for another day. It also turns out that he had been doing this in every village in the province...


Pretty messed up story, eh? Just sayin- sometimes you need to read between the lines, and there is probably a point where once someone has received enough help it becomes easy for someone to turn the village into the magic whiskey welfare agency.

Copy that, Sarge!

What he said. ^^

I'm thoroughly confused, lol.

Yeah this is a good one! ^^^

A certain 'new user' has had all his posts deleted because he was lying and taking advantage of generous people. Did anybody even ask if he was 18 before sending nic juice to him?

I see. What a shame Wolves in sheeps clothing are never fun.

EDIT: It appears I have a "love letter" in my PM box from said individual... Abusing this communities trust is NOT cool

I like White Horses, but I'm definitely partial to Black ones. Watched Black Stallion again on Netflix the other night.. Sigh! Flashback to 1979..

Had a bit of what I felt was unusual msgs back and forth re an old, truly worthless kit I had (I didn't realize that at the time I offered it though - only through testing it). Kind of got my spidey senses tingling.

What I really find intriguing though is ... how the heck do the forum masters and mistresses figure this stuff out? Wow! I'm impressed! Although I must admit that I tried to sign on awhile ago with a new name as I was actually kind of sick of this one and wanted something 'fresh'. Didn't take long for me to get MY warning message, I can tell you!

I think this cautionary tale should be told in #ecf too. Just sayin'.

Have you SEEN Sarge's Avi?! Go look at it again. You'll understand. And. don't let Classy's soft looks fool ya, she's more than capable of pulling out a Frying Pan and slammin' you upside yo' head when she has to. Hey C-Dub!

If you want a username change all you have to do is request one: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/forum-how-tos/32395-changing-username.html

As for the other question a lot of it is just from reading posts and receiving reports, we don't catch everything but we try the best we can. I really do love the caring spirit of the community and utterly despise it when someone takes advantage of folks.

Well, for God's sake ... now I really feel stupid! That's what you get for not reading through the basic rules of the forum!! 'Changing Username' ... how freaking simple is that? Sheesh. Now I'm going to have to change it just out of embarrassment.

Thanks, Oldsoldier ...

Aww fisherpal, long time no see, almost didn't recognize your new avatar (new to me at least ). I would hate to see you change your long lived username, but the good thing about you using the provided avenue of name changes, I will have a reference to what that new name is

[FisherPal]

Hey there!! Yes, it HAS been a long time. Good to see an old familiar face ... er ... avatar again! Although I believe it is a little 'beefed up' from the last time I saw it, lol. Yeah, took me a couple of years to get back on the band wagon but it's rocking now! Hope life has been treating you well. And crap ... now that I know HOW to change my username, I can't remember what I wanted the new one to be. And now that everyone knows what an idiot I am, what's the point? Can't get any worse, right? hee, hee.

I always tell my daughter...don't be breakin' the law when you're breakin' the law! Not a smart move to make a new account once you are banned. And then to post on the thread of the ban-ee. Bawlzy!

And that's how the cookie crumbles
