SOME people - and they were the minority on our side, IMO. Sorry, maybe I'm misunderstanding, but you make it sound like ALL of the ECF people were out of line and that just isn't true?

I don't think so. I'm with Magnus in that I feel it was Fred's (polite) way of giving us an "out".
I wonder if those few have him convnced that board will die without them.
Well I guess we can't promote harm reduction over there anymore...rotten timing after that message from lol. No worriesthere's a whole world to promote it to.
Call me greedy, but I don't want to share -lol- with anybody! She's ours!
Why be polite? Why not just ban all of us and be done with it?
I don't think that's necessarily true. Harm reduction still applies for those who eventually intend to quit nicotine but aren't ready just yet. People should still quit smoking to reduce their exposure while they are trying/waiting to quit nicotine.

I have emotional bandwidth? Care to clarify the meaning of that for me?

No its not that... I told you...this thread is moving so fast... She wrote me a very long PM thanking us for what we were doing over there.
Yeah, you're missing some of my posts. I was ranting just earlier today about how asinine and childish they sounded when they found discussions of recipes and munchies threatening somehow. The whole pure evil spinoff.
I certainly think many ECF people wasted their own time but I hardly think, as a group, ECF people behaved anywhere in the same league of distasteful nonsense as the Q. They were rabid and ridiculous more often than not.
He really was. There was ~no~ reason to put that nice reminder paragraph that ECFers have, well, ECF.. otherwise. -Magnus
OK, I need to get to sleep. I'm going out of town this weekend (my #2 son is graduating from high school) so I probably won't be around much. Don't burn down the house while I'm gone and clean up that blood from the carpet!
Nite everyone! Have a great, smoke-free weekend!

Ill admit to stooping to their level..but none of it was UN called for.
"Uncalled for" was a poor choice of words on my part. I apologize.
How about:
Some of the posts by ECF members added more fuel to an already out of control fire.
Hey, we may have to accept that some peoples kids just dont have the logic we do...survival of the fittest I guess. We say, "whatever keeps ya off the ciggies"...they say "hellfire and nicodemons"....I dont think we'll ever understand, and I think we all know, we'll never agree. Just keep our distance and hope it doesnt rub off. :S
But geez, can you imagine the fear these ppl have to even ASK a question now...the pm's these ppl write...just nonsense.
THAT being said...If you maintained a presence, and somehow make it known our "full time" forum, where these questions are welcomed, you might very well get a good amount of defects from there. And if their ways didnt change, eventually, they would be left with those that dont participate, and those with pitchforks, which really isnt all that many it seems.

Because he is trying to take the high-ground because he knows the behavior of some there was unacceptable. It's almost condescending in a way but he is under INTENSE amounts of pressure and I get it.
See? You just proved my point. ;-)
You care what other people think. You care what other people do if it's right or wrong. And you'll chase them down until they UNDERSTAND. They _MUST_ understand.
You don't care what other people think about ~you~, you're not conceded like say... me.... but you certainly can't stand the misinformed. -Magnus
I have a feeling QSMB hasn't seen this much action in quite some time. Fred needs the traffic to justify the expense of keeping the forum running. Outright banning people lowers traffic therefore making it harder to justify.
That's all conjecture though. Fred doesn't advertise on the forum so traffic doesn't equal advertising revenue. He may very well keep it up just out of the "goodness of his heart".
How does he feel about being #2? Does he hold any deep resentment towards your #1 son? Have you told him straight to his face that he's only #2? How would he feel if he saw your post?
