This is an example where 'rules' result in a lack of communication rather than furthering it. I understand (and agree with) the idea not to speak of certain subjects in the general and new members forums and most others, but when arguments regarding this certain subject are used by anti's in order to either tax, regulate, or in some way discredit
vaping in any possible way they can, then not be able to reasonably argue against such tactics, inhibits and harms our intended goals and purposes here.
Goals and purposes have a higher relative importance than 'rule's' or 'good ideas'. They are the 'senior concepts' that rules are made to carry out. They are
the reason, why there are rules -
to further goals and purposes. When rules work against those, then they should be rejected by rational moderation.
