What Grimm Green Said

[AJMoore]

I didn't think so, thank goodness.

perhaps this thread is a little long for one word(ridiculous!!!) but in defence of the moderators they are members too and entitled to have an opinion and post on the site as any member. They may have the power to sticky and erase but i've spoken to a few on non ecig related things and they are ACTUALLY human!!!

In reference to the mod who spoke about a reviewers ego he is entitled to his opinion and by saying what he said is "wrong" you havent shown yourself in a particularly gleaming light


If i seem harsh on this subject its because i am protective of our moderators here. they are simply great : o)

edit: im sure i may come under criticism now for this post but i stand by what i said.you cant tell someone their opinion is wrong...they treat you with respect...show the same in return.

Alright....haven't even gotten through this whole thread yet....but I got so irked that I had to comment (which is obviously a bit dangerous for me as a vendor).

What you need to remember is that there are many "senior" forum members who are distraught w/ this forum for one reason or another. The fact that a moderator is human and is allowed his/her opinion is inarguable. Where the issues has been, is when forum members also post their opinions and end up getting "pointies" or banned.

So, if a moderator is allowed to opine that someone is conducting an action for the sake of "ego" then why can't forum members also opine similarily?

Freedom of speech is one of the issues at the heart of some this "angst". Unfortunately, if you read the forum rules, freedom of speech is not allowed in here.....so anything you state or post is subject to a banning......(which is something I will not be surprised to receive after this post).

[buGG]

But seriously Grimm, the thing I took away from your video was that you've got a cool URL to look out for and that the job situation was not looking good. I know I speak for a lot of folks on here and elsewhere when I say to the latter, keep your head up, and to the former, I'll see ya over there, brother!

After reading this entire thread, I have come to the conclusion that it is ridiculously
full of jackasses!!

 

[AlexTM]

Yes it is. And welcome to our little club!

 

[DMertz99]

Yes it is. And welcome to our little club!

That's funny, right there.

i agree...thats why i referred it to bog dirt???!!!but its a staple in the irish diet dontcha know....when in rome mr. d!!!

ps. i saw your name floating around...thought you would be more suave and sophisticated???

 

[Thyestean]

I started out thinking this thread was ridiculous, not only for the way it was started but also for much of the resultant content, but now I actually appreciate it.

I've seen lots of people in other threads posting about how they smoked for anywhere from 15 - 50 years before vaping. Somehow though it still surprises me when I see a statistic such as this:

I am under 26 years old (0-25) 6 6.19%
I am over 26 years old (26-100) 88 90.72%

But then I read threads like this and it reminds me why those statistics surprise me every time

Olderthandirt, I know, I love statistics. A person could make a living off that site. Just in the e cig forum, vendors can see who they're marketing to. I watch Alexa for top sites in a particular fiels or sites with a lot of movement (up or down) and you can buy stocks from the stats.

 

[just-cass]

wish i knew more about stats to add to the other conversation going on under my nose....but as i dont...sigh....i will just reply to the offer of panties with mr. darcys name on them!!!

haha....ha....

 

[Flitzanu]

i must say, OP, that's pretty awesome that the main point and focus that you took away from the video is that someone said a forum is ridiculous. seems you failed to mention the BIGGER thing that person said about losing their job.
