You are just taking his side because I said your attys are crappy, chelle. You behave yourself, Empress.
OP, I did a message post history on you and it seems flames have a way of following you around. You seem savvy and intelligent. Maybe it's the way you word your posts. Vocal intonation is hard to pick up in electronic messages, but the way you word your posts and the heavy use of boldtype may be why this is happening.
We all appreciate a sharp mind and witty banter, but being humble and less aggressive in your responses will probably stop all the unnecessary "I may get flamed for this," or "Flame me if you will" reponses to other posters.

I think this is where all the hostilities are coming from. I have not said a word about having anyone change the terms they use (except in post #11 where I do kinda say that but that's only in reaction to a previous post). From the start, I simply say that there are a few terms that bugs me. Now, I may be right or I may be wrong. I simply want a discussion. Everything is fine until all at a sudden someone post and say sarcastic things like, oh let us all change our vocabularies b/c this new guy doesn't like it. Than similar sarcastic posts started coming in. Oh well, I guess you guys didn't see that, so it's all on me then.
Aw yeah, buddy.
That is freakin' AWESOME. Where did you find this?
Don't feel bad. I hate the word "toot" (as in, taking a hit off your vape), but Grimm Green uses it all the time and he's like royalty up in here. Doesn't mean I don't like the guy. I just hate the word "toot". No one's mad at you, sir, we're all forgive-and-forget, water-under-the-bridge types up in here.
I never said what you attributed to my name. You are making up quotes in my name. I am reporting you right now. I hope you enjoyed your stay at ECF.
Well then use whatever terminology you think is most appropriate.
But don't be surprised when nobody knows what you're talking about and nobody can help you with your question because you're the sort of person who insists on using "anniversary" instead of "birthday."
Being excessively literal-minded doesn't impress anybody.

I'm also mildly annoyed by all of those terms in the OP. 
I've never been infatuated with the common view of the 'steeping' process (there are a few around here.) I just vape my creations whenever I get to them. A few of them do change with time, but not enough to convince me to wait for that. I suppose that some mixtures may really need it, but I'd not likely bother with them, if so.
I suspect that the (more aptly named) aging process is just chemical reactions that occur until chemical equilibrium is reached, though that's little more than a shot in the dark from me...
Now, I'll just stick these minor annoyances back into the dark corner that they reside in, and carry on.

I think it's talking about me, eddard. Since I'm less pleasant than you or rocket.
Dere ya go again! How 'bout encouraging a discussion?
BTW, what nic level are ya at?
Well he cut and pasted your words into my name. It says:
Then he blames me for flaming the thread using his fake quote. I am not gonna stand for it. He has been reported. Let him explain himself to the Mods. They are not gonna let it slide when they see his BS on this thread.

The word 'vape' isn't in Merriam Webster (or any that I know of) dictionary either. Yet.
Actually, 'vape' has a home in the urban slang dictionary; another crowd beat us to it, as some may know, but ecig usage is included there now.
(The example given is, "Johnny will go to a head shop tomorrow and buy a vape.") Read: Urban Dictionary: vape
From some people's point of view, we've misappropriated a perfectly cool street term.
Nothing wrong with inventing a lexicon and nothing wrong with challenging the grace or accuracy of a new wordstock, either. Slang is by nature fluid.
Anyway, people in here have been debating vape lingo forever, nothing new - it's clunky to some ears, and to say so isn't a personal attack or a repudiation of anything sacred, like vaping itself.
I couldn't see anything offensive in the OP, but I like talk about words. And I'm going to go drizzle some premium well-swopped sauce into my cuff now and steam down.
Not trying to fright with you. Just trying to tell you I wasn't being agressive with you. My reply to that post of yours was
I was simply telling my opinion, be it right or wrong. I didn't call you names or insult you in any way. I sincerely don't see why that particular reply would be offensive to anyone. I disagree with you and that's all I said. I really don't see why you consider it aggressive. Yes, I have a few words in bold. but I don't think it's being aggressive. I do understand that writing all caps words is considered to be yelling. I didn't know words in bold are a no no. I simply want to emphasize and draw attention to a point.
A discussion of linguistics is fine. We'd get to see that video of that guy calling his PV by an anatomical term again and we'd all laugh and it'll be a grand old time.
Showing up after a mere month and a half membership to tell us we're all just wrong is another thing entirely.
ETA Incidentally I'll be a veteran tomorrow. Neat, huh.

Er'body needs to calm down!
Let's all take a toot off our peevees, relax, and start over again...
Sorry, I do noticed that the wrong quote was attributed to you. I was editing my post too fast and must had made the mistake. I apologize to you, sincerely. That quote I made was said by Rocketpunk, not EddardinWinter.
The pissyness in here is making my brain rattle !
