First of all - This is the third time I've seen the OP pimp his own site in general e-cig discussion and the third time the topic matter didn't seem to belong in this subforum.

Now, what is on his site right after his cutoff in this thread -

And I also can hardly think of any company besides three specific companies (that I’m sure you can guess) financially capable of pulling off a stunt like this.
I’m going to attempt to gather more information on this, because I don’t want to start throwing accusations around without proof

You don't want to throw accusations without more information? You just did.

I noticed that too!


Kind of like running up to someone and kicking them in the nuts, THEN saying "Look buddy, I'm not looking for a fight tonight...."

...

Apparently, “someone” has been contacting retail outlets around the country… particularly in the Northeast/New England area… and offering to supply them with an entire inventory of E-cig equipment, cartridges, E-liquids, etc. for FREE in exchange for whatever inventory they are already carrying. In other words, someone with incredibly deep pockets, is shelling out tons of money to get their foot in the doors of every retailer their greedy little hands can grab, at an extreme loss, just to wipe all of their small business competitors out completely. I can hardly think of anything more wholly despicable than... (Click here to read the rest of my article.)

So Clue me in?

What Exactly is Unethical about doing what you say is going on?

I don't know if you have ever been in a Grocery Store before. But competition for Shelf Dominance and Product Elimination is about as Common Place as Shopping Carts with Wobbly Wheels.

And BTW, has any of this Been Substantiated?

That isn't what Bugs me the Most.

What Bugs me it when a person Parachutes into the ECF, makes a Sensational Thread, Generates a Lot of Questions and Comments and then Doesn't come back to Address any of the Questions that were asked.

Not say'n that this is going to happen Here. I'm sure the OP will be Back Very Soon to answer Specific Questions regarding the Accusations he Didn't Want to Spread.

Where are you OP? I went to your blog.. Are you looking to increase the hits there?

If you don't know how to rotate your avatar 90° counter-clockwise, you can't expect to be taken seriously.

 

[Vwls]

LOL

 

[Ref Minor]

Company A makes an offer to Company B to exclusively stock their products and compensating them in full for previous inventory investments.

Is this really the basis for an overly dramatic rant about ethics? Where are the clones!!!

 

[calico21]

I almost fell out of my chair laughing at this one! Even sonic couldn't find anything to say.
And I'm about to fix bacon, waffle tacos here......

If anyone needs a good laugh.. read the About Me section of his blog. You can skip the boring first paragraph and begin at "I began my adult life..."

In my opinion, what's unethical here is using the forum just to promote your blog.

 

[WorksForMe]

I'm not sure why the mods don't start deleting the OPs threads as spam.

No promotion can give that blog success, IMHO.

Oh dammit! Is the ECF sky falling yet again!?

I think I need to build a bunker...

It's not Unethical to use the ECF to promote a Blog. In Some Ways, that is a Function of what the ECF is.

But is it Ethical to Post Unsubstantiated Rumors? Especially when the OP says he Doesn't want to throw Accusations around?

That's kinda like saying I heard that my Neighbor has a Drinking Problems and Beats his Wife. Of course, I don't want to say anymore because I don't want to throw Accusations Around.

He's somehow managed 382 facebook likes. Did he have a giveaway?

I'm quite ashamed I'm spending a Saturday morning reading his blog and facebook page.. but I'm amused.
