(guilty of skimming thread, wanted to add my two cents anyways)

First off, this isn't to say what the restaurant did was right. They handled the situation poorly but it is a good lesson for all of us in the future. I agree with you that what they did was wrong by immediately kicking you out and not letting you explain.

I actually always take the 'safe' stance when out in public. I have been at many bars and stepped outside with my smoking friends when they take their break. I have even had smokers question me "well if its not smoke why don't you just do it inside?"

Really the truth is that I want the general public to have a good view of vaping. I don't want them in any way to think I am interfering with their rights or even lifestyle. I constantly get compliments 'wow that smells great' even the GF says she doesn't want to but she can't help but enjoy the smell.

Anyways, the point is if it ever comes up for a vote or support I want the backing of our peers. I don't want them to view it as another habit where they will say "those vapers think they can do anything" - EVEN if it isn't harming them in any way. I feel that if we are courteous to others they may be more understanding and even go to bat for us when our time comes.

Sure call your lawyer but if he is wise he only gave you his 900 number.Maybe whocanisue.com is on your favorites.By all means go on but do tell ,did your mom laugh and consider it the best gift she got all year including mothers day?Do you think its ok to bring other lookalike things out and in public if you do not believe it disturbs anyone else? my belief is your actions will make my pv life more difficult.Its a chinese buffet or trough not Applesbees or even a chinese joint with a menu.She didnt call you a thief she said you are a problem go away(in her own way).In retrosect she should have given you your money back kicked you out and let the rest of your table stay.Sorry to sound harsh but your actions will effect my joy and thats not in the cards.

Why do you keep bringing up my family? No she wasn't laughing, she was embarrassed by the way we were treated! She is on my side and while she totally doesn't understand e-cigs, didn't think I was 'killing anyone'

no she didn't call me a thief but she TREATED me like a thief.

I called my lawyer and he thinks I may have a case, although I will have to pay some money, but I will do it and i'm calling NBC Chicago and Fox news to see if I can get some media attention to this thing. I was treated wrongly and I was a paying customer. I think I could have a serious discrimination case here.

Maybe you can have the Mods permanently remove this post for you.

I shouldn't have done what I did. I mean, I can understand why they overreacted, they had no clue what I was doing. I think I will call/send a letter... Just because I think they should know what it is.

It wouldn’t look good as your “Lawyer” tries to chisel money out a restaurant owner because you were “discriminated” against.

How much Gold and Silver do you think they can cross your palm with for all your Pain and Suffering? Ought to be worth a couple hundred thousand don’t you think? Or at least enough to put them out of business, what with all the media attention you say you are going to bring down on the plaintiffs.

Remember, your Lawyer gets at least a 1/3, if not more, of what ever you get. So as long as you are going to drag someone through the mud, you might as well be well paid for it.

Right?
:evil:
