You know have to wonder how many are viewing his products and possibly buying due to this, if this is some kind of don't buy his stuff campaign wouldn't it be easier to just not generate any publicity what so ever? I have this companies tornado ego-c, bought from a vendor that is a few blocks away from me. If it hadn't been for that product I'd have gone back to smoking. I only use the batteries now, and soon those too will be for backup only since I am going to the Reo, but I digress..... wouldn't the best course of action simply be to stop talking about it completely to avoid any kind of publicity.

Hi Jixchel .. I agree with your sentiments, but surely if we all adopted the idea that if we said nothing then it would all just mysteriously go away, we would appear like Ostrich's with our heads in the sand, and if you get enough Ostrich's doing that all you see is a line of *backsides* !

I don't read the posts any more... It's all a bit Charlie Sheen. Didn't work out too bad for him.

I don't care about his company, his opinion or anything else particularly. He's nobody to me at the end of the day.

I'm just rather concerned as a fellow human being that somehow it's going to be bad for him spiritually. You don't go into meltdown mode like this without being in some form of personal anguish or other.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone. And it's actually really upsetting to see someone unravelling in public like this.

As I said on the other thread. He should maybe turn off his computer for a day or two. Have a good introspective look at how his negativity is actually affecting innocent bystanders of e-cig communities. Karmically it's not going to end well for him at all.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Very sad.

    The reality is that most of us could care less about vendor squabbles, and quite frankly they don't need to be washing their laundry on a public forum.

    I owned a business for many years, and quite honestly, I would have fired me for a thread like this on a public forum!
    There really are reasons that cooperations settle disputes with nondisclosure agreements.

    I just BOUGHT FROM one of them today before all this hit the fan,,I'd be interested to know what the guy thinks.

    I'm sure that the products are cool enough though, so why worry too much. I've never bought anything from them simply because I'm loyal to other vendors...

    Please note the following two points:

    1. Insulting other members is not allowed here (unless they are a politician or pharmaceutical corporation executive, in which case we might grant a special exception). I regret that you will need to restrain yourselves or take your dispute elsewhere.

    2. Negative reviews of e-cigarette products cannot be placed anywhere on the forum except within the Reviews section - where you can post them as much as you like, since the vendor can freely respond (which they may not do here, for example, as our rules prevent them from doing so).

    We will need to remove insults and product-related comments that invite a response from vendors.

    I'm sorry if this is an area that cannot be discussed, sir, but......

    1. As this is a british-based forum, can the same thing happen here?

    2. Is having the review section protect ECF legally?

    3. I'm sure you know of him, is this his standard operating procedure? I have been around for a long time and they haven't ever been a large presence on this forum.....

    4. Is this something that ECF has to stay out of?

    Maybe I should have PM'd you but I wasn't sure who to ask......:confused:

    Yeah, it's not all that professional is it really?

    WTF is a "sequential" anyway?

    I think it's someone who "falls in line" with the accepted paradigm... I've been trying to decode the meaning behind what he's banging on about and I think what he's trying to say is that we are all blind sheep, doing as we are told by the accepted reality-tunnel we are fed by the media, politicians and others in positions of power...

    IE. We are told something. We listen. We believe. We act.

    In sequence.

    What the hell that actually has to do with anything in the context of en E-Cigarette vendor going hatstand on a forum I have yet to decipher.

    Essentially it's a bunch of sub-par, re-hashed conspiracy bunk, probably intertwined with Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus trilogy and put through a filter of plagiarised Noam Chomsky half-truths. Misread and misunderstood and unfortunately rendered without the necessary articulation and common grammar to make the points clear. So it all comes out as disjointed and fractured.
