To Tropical Bob, and The Founding Members of this ONCE Diplomatic & Open Forum...I want to express my EXTREME GRATITUDE!!! I have been a Member of this Forum for close to 4 Years, & I have made incredible connections with people who have changed my life in such amazing & indescribable ways...
Unfortunately, Cultish Followings & The Undeniable presence of Commerce have closed this once fulfilling chapter of my life. There are Court Jesters posing as Wizards, & I cannot be a part of FALSE accusations which are unfounded & without direct communication. I have been targeted with pointed arrows, and have found it time to remove myself from an environment which is as Toxic as Smoking EVER was. This once was a place, where people who shared one common interest (to be free from the grips of BIG tobacco) could converse freely and help each other further enjoy the blessings of contributing to a rising REVOLUTION!
I feel it better to respond to Individual attacks & take it to this Public Forum (at least I hope this is still as such) to address accusations without calling on any particular Parties. I have indeed Traded, Given, Helped, Received and have now been SLANDERED by ORGANIZATIONS posing as Heros. I have made a life long friend/brother on this Forum from half way around the World. He too, has been subjected to the same demeaning treatment as I, & is responsible for giving this community the idea (without ANY monetary compensation mind you) of a punched Carto. in a tank idea!!! There are Contributors, and then there are Thieves...I, have a clear refection without ripple in my reflected Mirror. I have for the 1st time in four years "BROKE EVEN" with my Investments, in Items that did not live up to my expectations. I have NOT attacked, nor slandered any Vendor(s) (though I have MUCH to dispel) & have subsequently received derogatory & insulting attacks by such Individuals. If products released through promotion of this Forum are subject to discipline and scrutiny by Members, Moderators & General Public Alike, then Freedom of Speech & Free Trade should be left to the Public at Large...I have NEVER under any false pretense profited off of ANYTHING on this Forum that wasn't of FREE WILL. If a person "DESIRES" something prior to it being available, then a premium charge will be established. I was hoping a "Certain Product" would live up to it's expectations, paid $700 for those Products intended as "Gifts For High Profile Friends" & decided they were NOT up to par with my expectations. In lieu of Selling/Trading/or "Scalping" items on The ECF, I went through alternative routes to secure alternate options to protect my investment(s). Through this decision, I have been assassinated (with unfounded merit) as to "my behavior" from such previously mentioned Jesters. I myself, am waiting on Lists & if opportunity presents itself will pay a "V.I.P. Premium" to get what I want, when I want it, and have it working without FLAWS!!!...WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!
So rather than RANT, again I offer my gratitude for all the good this Forum has provided & the positivity it has brought into my Life! Outside of that, I simply urge all the Newbies & Members alike to know "JUST WHAT YOU'RE SUCKING ON"!!!
All the Best, Much Love & Happy vaping - mre5674 aka Eric
