I thought that was a delicate way of expressing the idea....
It sounded a lot better than "hawking up loogies."

!Glad to make you smile.Gee this person who is so down on e-cigs needs to learn live and let live .Maybe she needs some nicotine hehe.Have a good one!!!GKK/SueOh no,I am speaking of the dreadful person writing the Michigan article and posting it on the website. The one everyone is calling a troll. What does troll mean?
Sharon apparently feels censorship should only be acceptable on blogs she writes-
"The Focus on the Family folks from Colorado Springs have a well-publicized history of trying to censor others -- particularly homosexuals. To them, people and books that are not conservative and not anti-gay are bad. Now they are using the very laws which they'ved stated they abhor to guarantee their rights o f protest. Their "loving" Christian values usually focus on hate.
My favorite quote on censorship comes from Tommy Smothers, who said:
"The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen.""
Sharon McEachern as a comment one year ago. Emphasis added.
Indirectly, yes. That seems to be the norm among the anti-smoke crowd. Strange but true. As much as this point gets brought before them by us, they never fail to ignore it.
It just doesn't compute.
With them it's pretty much "quit nicotine or die", the later choice being perfectly acceptable being as we're a bunch of low-life drug addicts. Smoking or vaping is all the same to them. It's very different from just concern for health. It's something else.
Well until I read the Gupta post and replies I didn't really realize the level of -- I really am not familiar with a word that means "looking down your nose at somebody with an air of superiority" -- but this "something else" you mention is definately a reality. I saw it clearly in a few of the Gupta replies.
It is a grave sickness.

Elaine,she's your stalker didn't you know?? She's following you around and posting after you in places you probably wouldn't think to backtrack on.I followed some studies from links on a particular 'press release' page and there she is commenting right after you.
Hi Soup,how's the Vapes
Elaine,you do a fine job
I believe that the word you are searching for is "arrogance."
A synonym that I learned recently is "hubris."
hu·bris (hy br s) also hy·bris (h -). n. Overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance:

A troll is someone who lurks in forums and chat rooms of groups that have an opposite opinion to his/her own. They often leave posts or responses designed to argue for the sake of argument, to disrupt the train of the discussion.
Trolls also pop up in the comments sections of articles and blog posts.
We might be considered trolls by those who are afraid of the e-cigarette. But I would say that most of us are endeavoring to correct disinformation or misunderstandings of the facts, not to disrupt the conversation.
You can often recognize a troll by the fact that when presented with irrefutable evidence that disproves their point, they resort to name-calling.
Joke's on Sharon.
She may be able to control comments on her blog post. But if she is going to go around advertising her blog within comments on public sites, she needs to remember that she does not control the comments that get posted there.
I don't expect to ever see my comment posted on Unethical Soup, but CentralMichiganLife just published it, right under her advertisement.
Moral of the story: You can't hide from the truth forever.

Plus our friend Sharon again-
"I simply cant believe it! Even after the FDA warning, there are columnists and folks leaving blog comments bragging about puffing on e-cigarettes instead of real cigarettes. What, cancer from a pretend cigarette is a better way to die than getting cancer from real tobacco? Denial just will not stay in Africa. One of the better articles on e-cigs, which warned consumers months ago about safety concerns, is at:"

It's an old comment, from July 2009. Just shows you that she was roaming around advertising her fiction writing back then, as now.
Thank you for the definition. Now--is it wise or unwise to bar such a person from posting on this website?
Are you talking about barring her from posting on ECF? If so, that would be between her and the mods...as long as she adheres to forum rules she would be free to post. Same goes for anywhere else due to that pesky 1st Amendment thingie
