Sick of being demonized

Yeah, those are the same brain-washed nut jobs I was referring to earlier.
I bet I even know which forum it is.

Did they call nicotine the Nicodemon?
Did they constantly refer to the concept of NOPE? (Not One Puff Ever)

Because I spent about six months on a forum like that trying to convince their most hard-core members to open their minds.
But of course, anything positive I had to say about e-cigs was because I was a hopeless addict just trying to justify my addiction.

I'm so sorry you had to experience that garbage.

Yup. I'm sure it's the same place. I still lurk there once in a while private messaging people who talk about ecigs and directing them here for support and to CASAA for more information that's actually true. I figure someone's got to. Might as well be me.

so by that philosophy, a person who has a small glass of wine with dinner is an alcoholic????

I was told once from a psychiatrist when I was a teen that I was an alcoholic because I drink some on weekends.. Didnt get drunk, just drank some while hanging out.

You're drunk right now, ... Aren't you?

It's So True though.

I think in the Grand Scheme of Things, I was Ordained to have the Same Amount of Money in My Checking Account No Matter What I Made. Or What I gave Up Spending on.

The Only thing that Changes is the Amount of Stuff that I have.

Good for you, continuing to keep presenting the case for vaping.

Just be careful, and don't let them know you are a member of this forum.
They really don't like members from here, and will complain to the management of this forum if they feel like it.

And if they do, then you'll be told by this forum to stop disrupting other forums.
It's in the rules of this forum.


EDIT: Not meaning to discourage you though.
EDIT: Keep fighting the good fight until you get a warning from ECF
EDIT: If you play your cards right you may never get one

For history purposes, we had sort of a "war" with them a few years ago.
About 20 of our members took it upon themselves to defend vaping in the face of such hatred.

I would say about 15 of us were banned on their forum.
But I still have an active account, as their management never chose to ban me.

You can find my posts by searching for user "Deadcat2" over there.

Anyway, I'm glad you're there.
At least for as long as you can stand it.

I'm trying to understand this statement in response to my earlier statement. Do you mean they haven't learned that they are an alcoholic yet (because they have a glass of wine every couple months)?

"when in reality the 12 steps are a way to learn how to live without destructive behavior".

In the case of what you bring up, they are yet to learn the meaning of the third tradition.

First and foremost, I'd like to thank all of you who have responded to this thread. Your points of view have been awesome to read and think about. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I don't need or even really want this guy in my life. He was a friend at one time, but has become more like that fly buzzing around that just doesn't take a hint and you go get the fly swatter. I thank you for helping me get there. My husband is thrilled as he has been done with this guy for quite a while.
I wish I had the time to reply to each of you, but this thread got way bigger than I thought it would. I have read and am grateful for each response. Thanks again!
