Vaporeta, I believe that your idea of freedom of expression is a little bit screwed. It is always good to have intelligent dialogue between people who can have conversations and tell of their ideas. If I come to your home and sit in your living room and drink your tea, you certainly do not expect me to run you down and try to make you appear bad. If you do expect this, then you are not an intelligent person. This forum belongs to Imeo. It is "his" living room, if you will, so please do not believe for a moment that you can come here and enjoy his hospitality whilst throwing mud at him and pooping on his new carpet. Not in his own home. That would be ridiculous. I am explaining this as simply as I can so that you will understand me. If you are so full of venom that you simply cannot contain it, ecf has a forum for negative reviews, etc. Try there.

and again, thank you for your time

I´m very sorry Morri, but I don´t agree with you. The message you have quoted may seem quite unpolite but you can´t take out a message from the context in which it was written and pretend it was a first message if you do so, you are simply manipulating.
In my first messages I just gave my opinion on a completely respectful way. I don’t think that when one gives an opinion is because is trying to harm or throw mud at anyone at all. Didn´t you think that maybe I was just trying to give my opinion in a sincere way?
Perhaps you not but I always prefer people being sincere and telling me the truth rather than telling me what I would like to hear even if it is not true. Maybe my fault was not to ask wether in this forum one could talk sincerely or just say what others want to hear.
I don´t think that saying that I understand people buying a chinese copy and explaining my reasons have to be offensive . I just think it is a sincere opinion and of course I have never tried to offend anyone expressing it.

Thanks to you also for telling me your opinion.

Well, to be sure, I along with everyone have read your ongoing messages. I did not take anything out of context, only quoted your last message as the one I was referring to. Yes, you have given your opinion. It has been noted and in an intelligent and respectful way, but you continue to continue. Even when asked politely to stop, you continue. In my home, that would be regarded as rude and I would ask you to leave. Imeo has always allowed us to voice our opinions and concerns here. Not nearly what he always wants to hear. We are much like a bunch of hungry children waiting for the pie, and he is serving us as quickly as is humanly possible for him. When one child begins to be ugly and tries to cause an uprising with the others, he will be sent to the corner or removed from the room. This is the way it is done in my home. Again, I think you may have the wrong idea about what this forum is. It is his home. Please try to remember this one thing and I don't believe we will have any more problems.

and again, I thank you for your time.

The issue here Vaporeta is not if people buying China copies are offensive or not. This is the ORIGINAL GG forum so we really don't care about China copies. You have the right to buy them and love them but frankly we don't want to know. Please post on the China copy forum and not here

Funny thing when it was not me who first talked about Nautilus in the Odissey thread, and funny thing when it was Imeo, and not me, who first even copied a video about Nautilus and gave his opinion.
I´m sorry but I don´t think the question is talking or not about a chinese copy, as Imeo did and other people did, the problem here is giving opinions you don´t like to read.

I think vaporeta was not trying to praise the good quality of the copy, and neither was he trying to suggest buying it instead of the original product, which, as we all saw, is way better.
The key thought of his posts was the following IMHO:

I think is a pity there are not more GGs in shops. That would probably end up with any Nautilus but if not maybe this will only be the beginning and chinese will soon make a Penelope, an Ithaka and everything the consumers is demanding if they are not easy to buy. That´s why I think Imeo should try to produce more stuff.

It's something different.
I personally agree, but that's not that important.
My point: ok, it works on preorders - nice, now I know. I don't like it, but it's not me who makes decisions here (though I m a customer, and as such my opinion should count). I had luck to purchase a Penelope one month ago, I'm not buying this chinese thing and I'm waiting for Ithaka. Fine.
But please spare parts, guys, spare parts. Not all of them but at least things like ceramic (mostly ceramic), o rings and plastic should always be available, I do not want to go back to chinese crap because I broke something; at the moment I am afraid of unmounting Penelope, always with the thought of breaking something and not being able to substitute it. IMHO spare parts should always be available by the official resellers, it would be a huge improvement.

Oh, and by the way: it's a shame to sell a second hand item for twice the price of the new one, a real shame. Many people will just buy more in order to make money with them, please do not talk about passion or faith or collecting etc etc etc. This is lame business.
I bought my Penelope for 90 €; ok, it's used, but it's rare, so I was willing to pay the hole price, also considering the excellent build quality, but I would not have paid more. It's not moral, it's speculation.
On italian forums GG stuff is difficult to find, since nobody wants to sell it, but i never (NEVER) saw it for a higher price than the original one. Never.
Have fun buying it for 150 €.

Just my two cents.

Yes vaporeta like captain said ... Here is THE GG ORIGINAL FORUM and I "maybe we but cant speak for everyone" don't like to hear good opinions on here about GG copies ... GG is cos is GG forum ,so cant see why we have to praising copies in Anyway " even in availability factor only" I just don't care sry ... It's a copy , it's stealing , it's un- moral , and is cheaply made not like GG... So then it's not for me.
Now please change subject and let's talk about the next GREAT ATTY " Ithaka " and not about a freaking cheap copy.

Thanks

I don´t know if ,when you are referring as being polite and respectful, you are including the message where you talked about people being suspicious just for writing different opinions. No, I don´t think it could be considered polite.
And sorry but I don´t also think that deleting different opinions has to be considering something respectful.
Sorry but in my house we talk to children trying to educate them we don´t use corners as a way of education and we don´t send problematic children outside. We think there are different ways of doing things.
Thanks very much for your time also.

Ok, so, what can we do with the title that was not written by me either? :)

Obviously ...the title and thread was made with respect by Imeo for you an others , so he would not delete your comments on a thread thats for oddy and not on production and marketing criticism ... you came in the oddy thread and started criticizing Imeo on marketing and production and so on.... Which if you are a vaper and this goes to all vapers IMO .. We should thank Imeo cos he is a game changer and never copies but innovate ...
So you don't have to throw your hollow sarcastic lines ... I have been polite with you but I am starting to think that you don't even deserv that . but I'm not a person lacking in respect , I have and I have plenty . Infact that's why I am still in this conversation with you.

Well now I believe we are getting to the problem. It is all a matter of how we are brought up. We all have ways of our own of dealing with unruly children. Point I would like to make now is that was just an example. We are all adults here. The main point I have tried to make is, this is Imeo's place. Not mine, not yours. He is a gracious and lovely host and most of us are happy to go by HIS rules........as it is HIS home. People that come into YOUR home and will not abide by YOUR rules, I am certain that you would ask them to leave and if they would not leave. You would have them removed.

Is this a true assumption or not?

thank you for your time

Of course I would like to think it was respect for me and others and not because some other people could have read what was happening.
I remind you that the first thing was trying to delete our "respectful" opinions as he did later.
I also remind you once again that it was not me who first talked about a chinese copy in a thread that was supposed to be written for odysseus. I just did it after Imeo did, not before and simply because I thought that if he gave his opinion on that thread I could also give mine.I he hadn´t done it I would have never done it either.
I´m sorry and I don´t think you should make such a terrible effort on talking to someone that in your opinion is just "unpolite" iven when this person doesn´t use any insult or any offensive word. On the contrary I don´t have any problem talking to you or to any other person because I like to communicate with everybody even when I don´t share opinions.
Thanks very much for your effort.

It seems that we can never agree. :glare:
In my opinion there are certain rules that are more important than mine even being at my house and they have to do with individual rights and freedom to express opinions. if I don´t want to listen what others want to say perhaps I would close the doors of my house, but I don´t use a public forum which is supposed to be created to express opinions
Do you know something? I didn´t even know this was Imeo´s forum I thought it was just another vaper forum open to everybody and to every opinion and it was absoluted surprising not being able to freely express mine. I asure that it´s the first time in my life that someone has deleted my opinion in a forum or that someone has "invited" me to leave a forum because he didn´t like my opinions.
Somethig very strange for me.
Thanks again

Unfortunately, it seems that you are correct. :(

In my opinion, there are no rules or opinions that supersede those of my husband and myself in our own home. That is the kind of freedom that I enjoy, at least in my own place. I would not take away a person's liberties ever. But neither would I allow them to overshadow mine. I believe that is what you are doing and no amount of discussion on either of our part is going to settle this.

Yes, it is a public forum, owned by Imeo, with the intentions of discussing things that Imeo wants to discuss. Sorry, but there it is and most of us, like it that way.

You apparently do not,

And for this, I am truly sorry

thank you for your time,

Thanks very much for trying to understand my opinion and for having quoted what I really think was the most important part of my opinion.
As everybdoy can check in "dampfauktion.de" which is a german auction page, second hand odys an penelopes always cost around 150 euros or more and it is the only place where I´ve been able to find any. Yes, I agree with you, that price is completely nonsense, inmoral and speculation.

Thanks.

Now this is just boring. In serbian forums (all, not just ecig) this kind of thread would be long time ago locked or recycled.

It is ok to exchange opinions, it is ok to elaborate, but going round in circles is just pointless.

Agree to disagree and stop it finally. Some people hate copy's, some are indiferent, some love them. Nothing we say or do will change otherone's opinion.

Vaporeta - freedom of speach is limited in so many area's of life. Same thing is on forum, the "authorities" have their own right to cut it at one point.

Others - you are not helping by trying to show someone something you think is their mistake, just puting oil to the fire.

P.S. Freedom of speach is invention for stupid people, the fact is that there are right and wrong standpoints, also that people trully are not intelectualy equal. FOS most of the time is used so does with lower capabilities have feeling that they are equal with the one intelectualy superior.

In Serbia we have one saying - "opinion is like ..., everyone has one".

P.S.S. My opinion about FOS is not written as perfid message to anyone, it trully is just opinion about that matter, no arrows thrown.
