No, you were somehow equating your choice of mod to make a much broader generalization about society and how it relates to other people's disposable mods. That's fine, but own it. I figured you'd at least be consistent.

You just proved MY point with your own words. The subject was about mods. You own up.

Sorry moderators, I had to respond to that.

You have been dropping little snide remarks here and there all over this thread. You get called on it when someone got fed up and instantly go into "Mr innocent - whoa don't get bent - mode".
Seems like you been looking for this reaction all along.......don't act surprised. :)

Nobody has given a reasonable argument for me being wrong. He didn't try to discredit the content of my post. He threatened to shun me. Lol. I'm okay with that. Batitude is a big boy. He's smarter than me. He can defend his posts himself.

Sigh. Oh, B1Sh0p, I've met many, many, many like you before. There will be many, many, many like you after this. I think I met you about twenty minutes or so ago, maybe longer. Sadly, more and more people like you are becoming active on ECF. I find it oh, so wonderful that there is an option on this forum called ignore. You just made it.

Have fun here, man! There is a subforum for everything. Hopefully you will find yours. Thankfully, I'll never have to stumble upon another word you ever write ever again! Woot!

That's fine. Maybe you shouldn't make such sweeping generalizations then. Or, maybe you might want to refrain from the "100% made in the USA" argument if you're going to use Chinese cartomizers. Consistency is key when you pontificate.

Yeah, I can also point out why you shouldn't be surprised.

"Things he said outside this thread are irrelevant"

Really? Is it that hard to say your wrong man?

Baditude has always recommended what he thought would be the best equipment for each individual vaper. MANY times that equipment is made in China, many times it's equipment made in the USA. I think your still missing the point here but maybe that's by your own design.. Whatever, I did try. I'll repeat myself being more blunt, A little research on YOUR part about Baditude would have saved you the angst of knowing you were a tad bit wrong for calling him a hypocrite.

Show me where I said anything about "100% made in the USA". Links?

I try to make a habit of providing links when I can to document what I say is indeed a fact. My blogs typically end with links to my resources. Whether its about batteries or the Provari. It lends to credibility and authenticity to those who read them. What you have to say is just opinions, and opinions are a dime to a dozen.

I looked in the old most helpful poster of 2013 thread. It's got several hundred posts from many people. There were a handful of names that came up again and again. Baditude, The Ocelot, and a few others. Ocelot's mother passed away recently, so she has not been very active lately.

Baditude has been struggling financially, (heard from others, he's not one to complain) and could be out doing stuff to earn extra income. Instead he comes here and selflessly donates his time to the forum. At least half of his posts are in the Newbie section, patiently answering the same questions over and over again.

I don't know you b1sh0p, but maybe you are cut from the same kind of cloth. I don't really think so though...people like Baditude are rare and treasured. I'm proud to count him as a friend on this forum.

Plan of Man, I second that. I actually got a lump in my throat. Some of the posters here really know each other, Bishop. You need to understand that as a fact. You need to choose what you say and who you say it to more wisely. I can understand this because you are relatively new to the forums, but some of us feel connected. This is ECF. You need to think twice before you call people out, even in the slightest.

Sorry, I shouldn't have quoted "100% made in the USA." It was more this...

Sorry for the lack of links. Multiqouotes are tedious on my Chinese iPad.

We all will disagree with each other from time to time. I think our intent (or at least my intent) was to defuse the situation a bit before it got out of hand. I failed at that one I'll admit. But it's really really hard to have a heated argument with Baditude. He's a good guy, very mild tempered and is always trying to help others out as much as he possibly can. He consequently has many many friends on this forum. B1shop, your probably a good guy too I just don't agree with some of your comments on this thread. Baditude doesn't usually even respond to negative feedback, and he felt he had to here and I think that's why so many others chimed in. We do take care of our own, simply put. I personally would like to thank
Bad for all his help. Your a class act Bad and we won't let you or anyone else forget it!!!!

Clearly you guys take this a little too seriously. I'm sorry Batitude is having financial problems. Times are tough for a lot us, including me. I have no idea how anyone's personal life is relevant to this thread though.

If people's posts are immune to criticism, what's the point of having a discussion?
