I have found it to be unfortunate with many of your posts, that you have a nasty inclination to "twist & distort" others comments to suit your own inflated ego or because you just can't refute the actual content of the post.
I'm attacking you?.. ok.... I find it hard to twist words that are obviously stated in a forum. I can misunderstand them, and you can misunderstand my demeanor and vice versa, but I'm not twisting anyone's words.
I made the "all about you" statement because you had said that "Personally, I believe they know full well....", I'm not so quick to judge... maybe they don't, how would you know.
The very first post I read of yours was...
....we need to start new threads here on ECF warning others to stay clear of this vender and encouraging more ECF members to send them emails requesting that they remove these misleading statements from their site
I feel you're too quick to jump on them (my Opinion, not right or wrong), which I'm expressing here, which you obviously don't like, so now I'm the enemy.
Nothing I stated in this thread is about "me" but about a supplier using a misleading fact to scare people towards their products.
Personally, I think that's a bit of a leap.
These tactics hurt the vaping community as a whole which is what the OP and many of us are stating. And based on the majority of posts in this thread, most agree with this position.
Including myself, nowhere did I disagree with your position, just how you go about rectifying it. We're all supposed to be in the same community here. I would say let's focus on those outside of it that are trying to regulate and actually do damage to it.
And all of us, except you, are doing exactly what my "sig" states, which is trying to educate this supplier as well as other vapers to a tactic that hurts the vaping community.
The title of the OP's thread is: This pisses me off! If the thread is about anyone "person" (which it isn't, except obviously in your twisted way at looking at it), it's about the OP being rightfully upset at this vendor's tactics.
I also did not request that we as a community "black-ball" this supplier, but just the opposite, that we respectfully contact them and ask them to change their advertizing tact.
No, you didn't say black-ball them (reference here?....), but like their advertising implies danger, you're call to action to inform other ECF members... to create more threads... etc... implies such action. I felt that was going to far, which is only my opinion and in no way impedes you doing such if you feel that is necessary.
If they ignore this respectful approach, then not using them as a supplier is prudent. And since ECF from the beginning of it's existence has been about recommending and not recommending particular suppliers, this approach fits well within this community.
So you can climb down from your condescending high horse and look at the bigger picture instead of attacking one more ECF member which appears to be your modus operandi.
In my whole post, it was barely the first line and the sig quote that referenced you at all. I apologize if you feel that I'm being condescending towards you.
It's the big picture I'm trying to discuss here. Your the only one here that has mad it personal and attacking in nature. I obviously made a mistake by saying it's all about you, how it can and obviously was read is not how I intended it to be read.
If you choose to read posts in a condescending manner, they will come across in that way. That say's more about you than me. If you choose to read my posts in a neutral non argumentative manner, I come across a lot nicer.
Anyone that would put that kind of statement up on their website certainly doesnt seem to show they care about the vaping community as a whole but only see electronic cigarettes as a quick way to make some money without the need to actually know what they are talking about.
