boycott.. petition.. isn't that the same kinda thing?
i have an idea... on Russ's show tonight he actually made a GREAT point at the end (the only part i actually caught) but i'd take it in a slightly different direction.. how about instead of wasting your time calling for a boycott of vendors who have actually put their time and effort into keeping your right to vape alive (and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who disagrees with that point) you take that time to INSTEAD send an email to your local representative to let THEM know you wont be putting up with THEIR BS
just as much as ya'll think you have YOUR right to an opinion.. so does Kevin, Russ, and anybody else who decides to have one.. just like you each have every right to decide that you don't like the other person's opinion.. but fighting AGAINST those that have worked so hard to make sure you still have the right to vape (and believe me.. you ALREADY wouldnt be allowed to if it werent for a few in that supporting vendors list) is not only idiotic.. but overly counter productive..
as to the actual petition.... as i stated at the beginning.. it's about as stupid as the whole boycott idea.. and while it's all good to take it at it's face value and defend classwife... you've missed the gist of what it's REALLY about.. did you miss the other side of the conversation in the interview and only listen to SJ's comments with no actual context? Kev said himself.. it wasnt about classwife specifically.. that she just caused a final straw for him.. the petition (while i agree is/was a stupid idea) is actually to bring to light he fact that moderation on this forum has been.. currently is. and probably always will be done with a large dose of favoritism.. how do i know.. simple.. because when i originally left ecf to become an admin elsewhere.. i didnt do so because any moderators or admin bashed on me.. or treated me more harshly than others.. actually.. quite the opposite.. *I* was the one getting special treatment at that time and argued that it was unfair that others couldnt do or say the things that i was allowed to get away with
as to classwife herself.. hey.. i don't know you well at all... all i know is a few random posts i've caught at the other forum from alooooong time ago.. so i got nothing against you.. my best advice is for you to simply step back and take a look and decide for yourself if you've played favorites or not.. and then move on from there and get back to doing what you need to do.. don't let some stupid petition that hasnt even gotten any major support get the best of you
PS: SJ.. that was an absolutely awesome interview.. and i'd love to hear more.. you know you always have my support.. whether i choose to break the rules or not
PSS: Dusty-D.. and you said i didnt give a sh&* about anything.. try knowing who you're talking to before accusing
