Wow, that guy needs to lay off the caffeine or something. I've never seen someone throw so much of a fit over a $10 item in my life. I'm getting very confused by people who assume that if you know something about a product and you like it then you must sell them or work for someone who does. It seems to be a recurring theme on the forums these days.

Thank goodness for the sanity of the women's forum.

Just try to ignore those kinds of posts, honestly, there are a lot of Threads I won't post on anymore, they come out of the woodwork to harrass you to death. Really maddening, and really also ruins the whole thread with a bunch of nonsense. But if you get mad and tell them to bug off the Mod's come after you. Not fair. Very frustrating. I had a guy do that yesterday, was very nasty, and I didn't even say what he seemed to think I said. He was a total jerk and just wouldn't leave it alone! I answered him back, but then everybody is mad at both of us. Go figure.

I have been lurking around this forum since April. Not saying too much, just in my "research and learn" mode. Anyway, everyone, I mean, everyone on this forum back then was so nice and helpful. But, recently, I am scared to say much of anything except in here because of weirdo's, know-it-all's, and general rudeness. At first, some of the threads were comical, but after awhile, the tone changes to "attack modes" on perfectly innocent people and/or questions. Honestly, lately, I've read some pretty heated stuff around the forum.

What is happening to our vaping family? We were all so happy helping each other learn and experience a non-analog lifestyle and we've all been here about the same time, give or take a month or 2. Hopefully, newbies will not be scared away. I'm at a loss.....but thankful for the safe haven of the Women's Room.

I had more to post earlier but I wanted to think on it abit. About thread-jacking and angry posts.

Its sad really, both of the above.. it makes it hard for people, especially people new to vaping to learn and share their ideas and experiences. You can look at my posts, most of them here simply because I am leery of the thread-jacking/bashing. While obviously not everyone can get along all of the time, I do wish people would stop and think before they do any of the above... things like - how will this response affect a smoker interested in trying this to save their life?
Everyone has an opinion, and their rights to it.. but a person will get more respect from their peers when it is put out there in a constructive and positive manner.

ok my spagettie is burning!

I read somewhere where we are getting tons of new people daily. That's a lot of questions, mainly the same ones. I don't mind, but it does seem as though they could look at all the truly amazing sticky's!
Some of them are know it all's who haven't learned how to act on a forum. They think they look cool to the older members if they have a smart mouth. In a few weeks they settle down, when they get their posts slapped around.
But then there are the questions that are honest..I can't find the answer, does anyone know? Type questions. Just answer them without out all the crappy "look it up!" or have you even tried to find the answer? That ticks me off! I see those people as skinny little geeks in momma's basement, acting all superior. Please! Been there, done that, before you got your first keyboard!
There is a place called battery junction, they have about 60 gabillion batts! That's where I get my potected batts for my 901.

BatteryJunction.com Batteries, Battery Chargers, Flashlights, Solar Products & more!

My only other suggestion is to ask at Radio Shack..they may or may not have it, but they could point you in the right direction..with a nice smile and a please!:)

Mary Kay, is that you!! What a great picture! You are looking very well!
I think everyone is right, the tone has changed here. I think there's a few that have all their 'stuff' figured out, so nothing they want to do except make "funny" on someone's thread, and yes it is very disgusting. Makes a person mad, there are good posts that go unnoticed because of the bully on the playground. No matter what you do there's no way to quash it either, they come back at you as if they have no conscience, and you end up getting marked for making trouble. I keep thinking what a disappointment it must be to sponsor a Forum and then have people abuse their priviledges. I still think a "woodshed" Thread would be a good idea, just hit a button and send 'em! Make their posts disappear after an hour or so. Well, it's a thought....
