Shaking the tree - terminology...

[The Dingo]

You don't know what "prosperity" means, do you?

Maybe not. At some point, you (presumably) learned what it means. I'm sorry to say, it appears from your O.P. (Original Post) and other posts, you are unwilling to *continue* to learn new terminology.

But, on the other hand, I suppose if I felt that I knew everything, I might not want to be bothered with learning new things, either.

Now, get off my lawn.

Welcome to the neighborhood. Did you move from Vapors Forum or Reddit?

You demonstrate one of the big problems with modern society. Rather that argue with logic and thought, you take things personally/emotionally. That's affected politics, where the parties can no longer agree to disagree - it's "us against them." It affects constructive discussion, where people want to turn intellectual arguments into personal attacks.

If you don't have an informed rebuttal, simply don't reply.

On the contrary, you sir demonstrate the problem best. In no way did you attempt to argue any point with logic or thought, you simply stated your own uneducated opinion. And more to the point, you are the one who did the personal and emotional attacking. At no point did you make an attempt at a "constructive discussion", instead you sought to be destructive from the outset. Your statements were neither logical or intellectual, for if they had been, you would have provided useful data to back up your position, not the simpletons argument of "I don't understand it so i don't like it".

QED

 

[The Dingo]

"QED" I didn't know what that means. So, I googled it...now I do.

I learned something today. Does that mean I can go back to bed?

Guys and gals, this isn't helping. Yes, he got off on the wrong foot in this thread. And he didn't help himself any along the way. But trashing the poster is going to get this thread closed and not because of anything he said.

I think having a coffee, and a vape and letting it go is the best thing we can do here. Just my opinion

vape on

Nice try mikey.

I gave you an informed response prior to this. But you responded with a caveat empor type response. Hence, calling your 'I win' post pissing on the tree.

Ah geez, why am I even bothering responding to mr trollio.

I for one would like to offer my sincerest thanks to the Mike fella for providing a thread that has kept me chuckling during my morning coffee and vape.

17 pages, almost 170 responses, well shaken tree.

One thing that does bother me about this thread and the responses generated though, I don't get the Melvin thing )-:

*crying in my coffee* - I came in late and I missed all the fun *sob*
May I have some popcorn and some Melvin with my coffee and my vape? Pretty please? *bats eyes*

OP has a point, but having a total newb come into a forum for hobbyists and enthusiasts and lecturing on terminology is no way to win friends and influence enemies.

My father used to say, "if you take yourself seriously, no one else will."

Lighten up, Frances.

Well said and I totally agree olderthandirt, LOL.

You know, neither do I. I used to work with a Melvin. He was a Newfy (it's a Canadian thing) and a great guy. Somehow I doubt this is the same thing, but you never know

 

[olderthandirt]

I'm thinking the fact that I don't understand the Melvin reference prolly means I are one.

I hear ya Anjaffm, and please quit batting those gorgeous eyes. Not fair at all! If I melt any more I won't be able to make anymore popcorn and then you will be stuck with Melvin. And who knows where that will end up

 

[Whosback]

Cute topic and I think I have an excellent way to fix our lingo.

We will just use this lingo instead.

No no no, don't go there ...

It's not just you! No-one really understands the Melvin thingy

 

[wharr]

Mike S. Now that you have been at this a month and have determined the Vaping lingo does not fit your style. Has Vaping help you kick Analogs (cigarettes, shorts, blunts, smokes,)? If so congrats.

Have a Great day to you all, Vape On!!!

Hmmm I think of it as more of a culture thing. I have given up so much, all of it highly ritualized, to have found something to replace it has meant so much to me. My mental well being and health.

So the cult of the Provari, secret handshake and the vaping I am pretty chill with. And generally you will find asshats that talk down and pull the l33t attitude but all and all I have found most pretty helpful and passionate about helping new folks out here.

With all that said I freaking LOVE my Provari and Cthulhu couldn't pry it out of my cold dead hands.

BURY. ME. WITH. IT!

 

[Butters78]

Hey!! Who changed the secret knock? Let me in!!!!

I still want to know if you are related to the Baldwins. You definitely have a resemblance to Alec.

"HELP MAH ATOMIZER BROKE"

"Which one?"

"THE ATOMIZER"

"What kind???"

"THE ATOMIZER"

"Okay, what PV do you use?"

"THE BATTERY KIND"



You'll learn it all sooner or later, hah. Quite useful, that lingo.
