delSol_si Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 rani, i appreciate and respect your comments and opinions, but I have to disagree somewhat. When he starts calling people derogatory names and the sort, then its time for a break. i would post the log, but I don't think it is appropriate. I personally have been getting several PM complaints about his attitude, and i feel the the job of a "mod" is to make this forum as pleasant as possible for the biggest majority. Yes, I feel bad for him if he has life issues that are making him an unhappy person, and I would like to help him if he needs it, but I don't feel that gives him the right to start name calling and telling people off.

Tyler Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I know I personally tried being nice to him the first time he showed up in this manner, then I was called a fag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Don't get me wrong, I'm not disagreeing with the ban. Being kind does not include letting people walk all over you. Slap on the wrist is called for..... I'm just saying that I believe we can change the frame of mind of those we come across if we try - [u]after[/u] they've been told in no uncertain terms that bad behavior will not be tolerated. Discipline can often be part of kindness. Make sense? 'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 i've been in the dumps lately, but i don't think i've ever insulted someone or been an all out jackass to anyone...instead, i reach out to the HF community for help. and everyone that i chat with has been more than willingly to lend an ear and offer advice (ash and liquidglass, most recently) in my opinion, you can be going through the worst time of your life...but, leave the animosity out of the chat/forums... there is no excuse or justification to bring that attitude on the forums...just don't log in and bring that bs here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destructo Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 and this thread is why we cant have nice things. ive been treated like shit since day 1 here and i dont know what the fuck all your problems are. im sorry that im not some elietest that thinks that the defective constructions makes km better or have an obsession where i feel the need to smoke for 9 hours a day or so compulsive that i spend 500$ on hookahs and tobacco a month. nor do i feel the need to talk about hookah all the time in a HOOKAH FORUM. 90% of people use natural coals, tangiers and have a km me in included. thats real fun to talk about. i prefer to chill with a friend or few and smoke once or twice a week. if im not elietist enough for me tell me and ill leave.

rcracer_tx Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Destructo, I don't know how you think you have always been treated like crap... You have acted like a jackass in almost every thread you have posted in and are a complete dick in the chatroom, so people treat you like you treat them. This forum is one of the most friendly ones I have been on(and I belong to almost 30 of them), and as long as you are respectful to everyone, most people will be nice. You come off as an asshole all the time, and thats why this forum seems to hate you.... my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidglass Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 personally I didn't like him the first day I talked to him. However, some of my best friends I didn't like the fist time I talked to them so I was willing to give him a chance. As far as rules go though he seems to have bent the more lenient rules to the point of breaking so a ban is sufficient. I don't think he realizes exactly where his point was going. He insults everything, from the new KM he bought to people he disagrees with. And his obviously hypocritical in the fact that he calls most of us "elitists" when we are more than happy to accept the flaws in our handmade hookah products and he apparently is not. Now sometimes the minority is right in speaking out against the majority, But he has always spoken out in the wrong way and without tact. Someone's gonna take him down a few pegs if he ever does it in person. *Note to moderators* often Destructo has spoken about getting around the bans here, I'm guessing he would think we were too scared to ban him lol. So watch out for any new members recently and in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
