People with child avatars

[Vapor Pete]

Just curious...your siggy, while unoffending to me, has to be offensive to some here...would it not bother you if someone asked you, albeit nicely, to take it down? Not even a little? Will you remove it if someone asks?

My what?? siggy??? My avitar??? I know Im not Brad Pitt, but it shouldnt be offensive to anyone. Its a picture of me. I'll tell you what... If the FDA had a h*rd-on for people wearing ball caps standing up against the wall with their arms crossed, saying that its those types of people who they fear will abuse nicotine, or makers are targeting... then yep, I would. Hows that.

Siggy is short for 'signature', not 'avatar'.

Now I see your point. So to that I will say no. My signature is a saying. I can also back up the statement with examples of how religion has done no good. Unless the FDA was targeting folks who think the government will run the world and religion will ruin it, it will stay.

Pete,

I want to first start out by saying that I am in no way religious, but you made the statement that you can give examples of how religion has done no good, but you can find no such examples for politics? Just saying

Okay. Then go away.

OK - Calm down ladies. Let's not say anything we'll regret later. Time to kiss and make up. (Feel free to put me in the middle.)

 

[Treece]

Some of us ladies are calm, Jim. Some of us aren't really ladies. But either way, consider yourself in the middle. Thanks for volunteering!

And lotsa luck with that.

Aragorn lived to be 190 years old and in my avatar pic he is approximately 87 years old. I think I am safe...........

I agree 100% and completely with the below statement.

Bravo Tauk!

i need a show of hands here....

who here feels self important enough to REALLY believe ECF will be mentioned by the FDA in any way shape or form if/when they decide to ban ecigs??


george... i didn't have a problem with your suggestion in itself... my problem is the self importance being shown on the forum lately... not you specifically... because honestly.. children smoking isnt a funny thing (NOTHING to do with ecigs), and thusly... i somewhat agree with your suggestion

somehow i missed the part when i signed my life over to "the cause" when i bought my first ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE. exactly where in the paperwork did i sign up to be an "ambassador of vaping" when i signed up for the forum? if that is the case... please let me know.. give proof.. and the person showing said proof can have ALL of my vaping equipment.. cause i REALLY want no part of it.. it'd be ALOT easier to just pay marlboro to speak for me.

someone suggested that the antis will use whatever.. and even lie... YOU are ABSOLUTELY correct.. they WILL lie to get thier agenda on track... now the better point.. do you HONESTLY believe they need the verbage on ECF to LIE???? they don't NEED any proof whatsoever.. and quite frankly.. the debate as to our behaviour being the ruin or salvation of vaping is ridiculous and egotistical. you know who DOES need to mind thier P's and Q's?? suppliers... and suppliers ONLY.. as cunsumers we are who we are... we do as we do.. and if anybody doesn't like it.. to hell with them. the product is bought by people of different races/creed/religions/backgrounds/living circumstances/languages/sexes/etc... it CANNOT be judged by it's users.. other than we are ALL smokers.. thusly.. our character has already lost the battle if you REALLY believe we make that big of a difference...

anyways.. just got off a 10 hour shift that started at 1am.. so im tired and lost my train of thought... this post was meant in no way shape or form to be taken as an attack of any sort toward anyone on a personal level... if you think i meant YOU.. you may need to read it again and you will find you made my point. self-importance/ egotistical... i dont think THAT'S the way we need to be so easily portrayed

and just to double-point.. i only mention george because the first part pertained to OP.. that i agreed.. yet disgreed.. was not specifically toward you sir

 

[Jim Davis]

Why don't we all take a minute to chill. We've built a pretty good friendship here, and it would be a shame to destroy it in one thread. An innocent point of view is getting out of hand.

Think of the kittens...

I see a vape off comming =Þ

Or all the poor folks without socks..............

The problem with that is that this is a private forum owned by Smokey Joe. If SJ does not want any photos of children he is entitled to make that request.

I haven't read all the posts in this thread, but I think this is really the best solution to the issue... SJ is the owner and any policy statement regarding avatars should come from the management.

(Personally, I have difficulty with a few avatars and they are not all in the same theme.

I, also, have difficulty with flashing banners in the signature line. The flashing is so distracting that I never read what the person writes because I cannot focus my eyes on their lines of type. So, I move the page above or below their entry as soon as I see the flashing text.)

 

[Zootster]

I got nothin... YET

Oh these same dolts claimed that candy cigarettes led to children smoking the real ones back in the day. They don't have to sling much mud our way because they simply have the power and we don't. I just hope I live to see the day where that ends as well. Maybe the French will come through again and pin our government forces down in Yorktown again? LOL
