I had a long rant about this, but decided to desist. I just really hope what is happening NOW encourages women to take more action at the TIME, not decades later, because THAT would be REALLY beneficial, so maybe I have to suffer through this particular media cycle for that to happen.

This should be mandatory reading for people who have experienced victimhood on how to no longer behave, look, or act like a victim. It totally changed my life: https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Fear-Ga...2680622&sr=8-1&keywords=the+gift+of+fear+book

No one deserves that. No one. I'm sorry. I have a different opinion. I understand he's an evil man, but I don't encourage gloating about sexual abuse and harassment, I also don't like what's happening now with people gloating about it.

I will never understand, and the only reason I'm not moving to Australia at present thanks to the "leftist activism" that is being celebrated is that I can't actually take the kiddo or husband... They've shut down immigration from America, because our society is currently insane. They'd never wind up with citizenship.

Where are you seeing anyone gloating over sexual abuse and harassment? People are just happy that he got caught!

I don't even care what he did or didn't do to/with that woman.

He had it coming. He's a total creep. I'm happy. KARMA! ;)

Being pleased that a bad person is being punished while acknowledging that it may not even be true sort of seems to be gloating, along with the multiple happy dance emoticons.

I realize he's an evil man. When my son was gloating about his arresting officer's eye being kicked out by a drunken person in stilettos, I merely had this to say: "Nobody deserves that."

Because no one DOES. I suppose those of you who believe in the concept of Karma may feel otherwise, but I prefer to leave the judging to my Higher Power. Because horrible things happen all over, and no one deserves them, but they still happen. What if we just apply the karma logic to everyone being threatened by fire? Well, they must deserve it right? RIGHT? RIGHT?

Being thrilled over someone's downfall... Nope, I don't get it. If I were to celebrate ill of everyone I hated? I wouldn't be a very happy person. Also, this kind of reminds me of when France fell and everyone lined up to watch the public guillotine in action. No thanks.

Anna, I've read your points, and you most assuredly have a right to them.

I do believe that the vape world will just be mumbling one word specifically today. And yes, it's Karma.

This man sowed his seeds of hurt, possibly to individuals, but definitely to a large segment of the population (we vapers).

He's now been discovered. Reaping, him.

I don't feel gloat. I am more in the mindset of "it's about f'lippin time".

Well, that's a reasonable response Kat, and I appreciate it. I understand that the man has done a great deal of harm to many people. I think I will just start to ignore the matter, as I am sorry, I can't be on board with the satisfaction. But, I hope at least that the allegations are true, and that it empowers women in a genuine way, rather than using sexual and racial harassment as political tools, that's all.

Anna, this has nothing to do with women or sexual harassment. Trust me! If he's innocent of those charges, he'll be acquitted.

Like others have said, it's all about karma. He's not evil--he's dishonest and pompous and has done a lot of damage to the cause of vaping. He's an ANTZ and wouldn't listen to reason. We've been fighting him for years. I'm glad he's in trouble and I'm not ashamed of it. :sneaky:

It's hard to be objective about Glantz if you're a vaper. I have no doubt that his actions against vaping have led to some smokers being scared off and continuing smoking. It is therefore pretty likely that a number of smokers have had health problems and some will die sooner as a result.

If he is found responsible for the accusations and is punished in some form, it will be a tiny slice of karma for the lives he's harmed. Not enough IMO.

    I’m just ashamed that I didn’t know what ANTZ was until today (a little irony: when I looked it up a movie called ANTZ starring Woody Allen came up)
    Ya came here and got your ecig stuff sorted and helped many newcomers. Made a buncha friends. That's plenty.

    ECF is a better place for having you here.

    Thank you very much! It’s almost been a year that I’ve been here and know more about vaping than I ever thought possible! AND haven’t had one drag of one cig! People who haven’t seen me in over a year are shocked at how I’ve stayed off the cigs. I think they thought I’d smoke forever (I certainly did)!

    Lol, you learned more in your first month by posting good questions, than I've learned since I've been here.

    You're quite welcome, Maam.
