mushrat Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I'm getting a bit tired of the attacks in the official vendor threads. You don't like the product, fine, say so someplace else. You had a bad experience with the company, put it in their review. But I am getting DAMN tired of seeing "smoke tangiers" "get a Phunnel" "get a KM from X" in threads/sections that have no connection with said product or comment. This has been precipitated by the latest shit in the SaharaSmoke thread. You don't like HH, fine, don't buy it. You don't like the company? Fine, don't order from them. You had an actual bad experience, great, put it in the Vendor review. But these folks have asked to return as official vendors, they did every thing I asked of them including identifying their other rep who also posts here and they are adding more to the overall content of this forum than a lot of vendors out there. I like Mya hookahs and I smoke a lot of Tangiers using exotica finger coals. But you do NOT see me pushing them in every fucking post every time someone mentions something other than tangiers, Mya, and exoticas. I WILL start busting heads. Thank you for your time....

thehelios Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Thank you sir! People need to learn that certain intricacies in a hookah make it better and not the brand name behind it. There are tons of vendors online yet I only ever see the same 3 being pushed over and over again, thread after thread. People, y'all need to learn how to teach people what makes a hookah, shisha, or accessory better. Don't just throw brand names at them. I believe the only time someone ever needs to mention a vendor in a non-vendor based topic is if someone asks where to find something specifically.

mushrat Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Time for this type of warning again. I am seeing people knocking other people's hookahs if they are not one of the "hot" names at the moment. The first thing i see when someone shows off their no-name egyptian or their chinese hookah, or something that isnt a km, narwas, etc is "Trash it and get a XXXX instead." We will be respectful of other people's hookahs that they spend their hard earned money on and may have been the best they could find or afford. Snobs we may be, but we will be POLITE snobs. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moki Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 True. It also not very nice for the guy who just bought a new hookah and he is happy about it, when you come up and tell him it's junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoRSX Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I have got to say thanks Mush, always refreshing to see someone take a stand like that. I say good work and if your ever in IL, let me know, I owe you a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floataround Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 This is why I stuck with HF. No one has ever made me feel bad about any of my purchase, even when my first hookah was a not so great no name Chinese. There is a fine line between "your stuff is garbage, dont bother smoking" and saying " X hose or X bowl could improve your experience" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhookah Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Amen. So tired of the hookah cult. Seems like certain people don't like certain things just because other's dislike it. And if you don't like something, fine, put it in a review in the appropriate section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
