A couple of years ago ...
I dropped out of the ECF for a few months.
Just got fed up with all the negatives.

When I came back ... Several of the familiar names were no longer posting.
Wondered where they went ... Poked around and found several of them
in the social forums ... They realized things either will be OK or they won't
but they didn't want to deal with all the gloom & doom anymore. Burned Out !!

I don't turn a blind eye to the reality thing ...
However, speaking for myself ... I'm not living in the gloom/doom world anymore.

The ECF is an e-cigarette discussion group and not the "E-cigarette War Room".
That's why I posted recently ... we need an E-cigarette War Room forum.
Of course ... that won't happen.

Many of us who have been around for a while ... see the obstacles ahead.
However, many of us no longer believe the end is near.

The FDA will sooner or later announce their deeming regulations
and then Panic will set in everywhere and most threads will end up
with discussions on "stock piling" and DIY.

Oh by the way ...
when that happens there will be calls to action to send emails to
our elected representatives and probably another White House petition
and we all know from experience how effective that stuff is.

Then ... things will calm down ... Again ... and life will go on
when we accept the possibility of change ... but it won't be the end
of e-smoking or the end of wide choices and the end of XX MG/mil liquids.

For those who want to get into the fight and looking for direction
join CASSA ... not just join with a few clicks of the mouse ...
but join and donate money and donate time.

For those who don't want to "get into the fight" ...
Enjoy the discussions in the forums of your choice here on
The E-cigarette (Discussion) Forum.

The above is just my 2 cents
There will be those who may disagree ... That's OK with me.
What's right for me is not right for everyone.

Good speech cowboy !

I could completely change direction and only report and comment on the positives-but what would be the point in that?
News comes out the way it comes out-and I relay it, (it is not all negative) but it is mostly negative.

This section of the forum is dedicated to news and legislation.

On Friday CASSA had a little boost in membership-in part due to this release (now de-bunked by FDA)
E-Cigarettes: Electronic, but Maybe Not Online - Corporate Intelligence - WSJ

You were a military man Petrodus - Fear is a great motivator dontcha know :)
And all news is information (even the tripe shouldn't be ignored-are the FDA whiter than white ?) .
Maybe your battle fatigue might be relieved a little by spending some time in the Lounge. ?

Yeah ... I'm a cowboy ... Yeah, I spent my time in hell in war
I'm an old war bird and not afraid of a fight.
No, I'm not burned out and need to go on vacation to Disneyland

There's a Legislation forum ... Plenty of nail biting there
There's a Law and the E-cigarette forum ... Plenty of Gloom/Doom there

This is the News and Media forum
There's a lot of positives going on about e-cigarettes across the country
and we see continued movement towards the truth showing up in the media.
Today we are seeing e-cigarette commercials, e-cig stores opening up every day,
A larger percentage of smokers now have tried e-smoking ... ETC

I just stood back and looked at where we were in 2009 compared to today.
To say "We've come a long ways baby" ... is an understatement !!

I'm not burned out ... Everything is NOT a fight !!
I'm just no longer a pessimist ... Today I'm an Optimist

I'm not suffering from "Battle Fatigue" and need to go hang-out in Disneyland.

There's room in discussions for those of us who don't see the enemy under every rock.
That doesn't mean I'm blind ... It means there's more to e-cigarettes than a war.

Disagree with me ... No problem
Think I'm a little "nuts" ... No problem

This is an Internet discussion group.

Carry on ...
:2cool:
