Ugh...

Not only is the first article terrible, the comments are too! maybe we should chime in!!!

 

[Orb Skewer]

This Forum and all the others dedicated to vaping would benefit 'the cause' greatly if they all had a forum section titled
'Junk Journalism' with a big 'caution' sticky at the top
"these trash articles are designed to provoke reaction-are ill informed-poorly researched (if at all?), and more importantly they are also 'pay per click sites'"
by opening the link you help to fund garbage like this.
Best to focus on positively 'rubbishing' trash like this by consigning it to the 'waste-land' where it belongs.

(I'm going to make a concerted effort to stop opening links if I think they're negative)
In the meantime,,,,,,this is my favourite quote from the first link

"electronic cigarettes also produce secondhand smoke, inhaled by both the user and people around her"

OH RLY ?

 

[Orb Skewer]

Double post

** cleaning up **

The reporter probably got a nice little check from BP
Although this garbage is a concern ...
I suggest stuff like this won't get any real legs
to negatively impact our movement.

Shouldn't the links in this thread have been broken? That's the first step.

Then, I like Orb's suggestion to precede these links with a WARNING: JUNK ARTICLE notice.

Then, perhaps the OP might include a few relevant quotes from the article (keeping w/in copyright restrictions), so no one else needs to click without knowing the consequences*, unless rebuttal comments are called for.

*I didn't know about the pay-per-click thing. Yikes...

Yeah ... Links should be broken on Junk Science posts.
Agree it was nice to see the WARNING note in the post.

I chuckled when I read the last part of your post. I would add to it: ..."it's amazing he can make a living by talking fecal matter and feeding it to the masses!!!"

[AgentAnia]

If it's not asking too much (since the OP and others are currently offline), perhaps a moderator could step in here and break these links to junk science? Wold be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

 

[Petrodus]

I'm the original poster for this thread. Sorry if I broke local protocol. I think it's important to fight these lies.

That doesn't work in Chrome: when I select these three lines as a block and copy and paste them into the Chrome address bar, they are glued together and go to that location anyway. Spaces break the links better.

 

[jtpjc]

Wait a sec, I get it now. When you break the link into several lines, Google won't recognize them as a link, while we can still easily go to that link. Is that what you meant?

 

[Petrodus]

Breaking the link so Google can't see that WE posted it takes away any Google Juice
for junk science articles.

A number of ways to break links and placing blank space bar key-presses
at specific points will do the trick. The important thing is when the URL
is pasted in a post ... it does NOT create a clickable hyperlink

Click Here

So many of the links today are really long so what I did was take the original
long link and convert it to a short link then broke it up. Doesn't need to be on
separate lines to hide it from Google ... Just needs to be a link that we put together
so Google doesn't recognize it as a link.

When ya create a post with a link ya think is broken ...
Click on Preview Post ... If you can click on the link ... Its NOT broken.

Guess the best rule of thumb is ...
If ya don't know how to create broken links ... just don't try to post junk articles
realizing others are searching every day for articles to post ... and let them
post the junk with broken links.
