kilgore trout Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 "gixxer girl, you seem awefully supporting of PYH...SHES ONE OF THEM!!!!! lol" I think that the "lol" and the "" denote that he is joking. Just my interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalyst Paintball Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 [quote name='GixxerGirl']In response to an earlier post, no I am not "one of them". How old is the person that posted that, 12? Grow up. And just for your information, I've ordered shisha from many different websites and have accounts with socialsmoke, hookah-shisha, etc etc. So don't act like I'm sitting here only promoting the pimp, I'm trying to get the point across that the activity that takes place in this forum closely represents things that take place in the 5th grade. For anyone who is an adult in this forum, it's embarassing for you to act so childish. It's about time to mature yourselves.[/quote]Oh, Tangiers?Hes pretty much not involved with Hookah at all.He only manafactures Tangiers Tobacco that is sold at HookahKings and HookahCompany. He also runs Oddessey Hookah Lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepyrofish Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Gixxer...I think you need to stop for a moment and take a look at this from another angle. It may seem childish if you don't realise that this type of thing happens all the time. I am active on a few cigar forums. Many retailers are members there and on occasion a startup will have duplicate accounts post great reviews to boost support. It's a fact of life. It is only normal that we should question that and want to find out what is going on. What was said about you being "one of them" was a joke, nothing more. In a community such as this, people get to know eachother and joke around a bit. Another fact of life. Take it in stride, nobody is attacking you. That said, another fact of life on the cigar boards is new members coming in out of nowhere and thinking they no better than established members and wanting to change things and "rationalize" people. What may make sense to you may not actually be practical in reality. The people who are established members here have been around awhile. They know their stuff. I assure you that if you take the time and hang around a bit you will come to understand this better. I've been there. You need to spend time here and get to know the community, and how it runs itself, before you start making accusations and trying to change things. I don't think you work for the Pimp, but I do think you need to sit this one out. On these types of forums people look out for eachother and that's all that is happening here. Give it time.

hookah~rob~ Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Lakemonster"Hookah enthusiasts are skeptics becasue we are constantly dodging: cheats, fakes, "the old bait and switch", not getting anything as pictured, shipping rackets.......... long list actually." after reading all of the posts on here monster seems to have a very clear basic understanding of what is going on. see above quote. tangiers "I have no doubt that Elitehookah.com, pimpyourhookah.com and all others concerned are just in the middle of a big misunderstanding*. Lets step back, stop making accusations and breathe a little.*Misunderstanding-When one or more people are wrong, but nobody can sort out who IS wrong." this is also very true. now it does seem very odd that a "free" hookah was sent out for a small order, that much everyone can agree on. second it is hard to believe that a retailer would give away 55 dollars worth of merchandise.(this could be explained by large wholesale purchases by said company where the actual cost of said hookah is far less overhead than 55 dollars due to cheaper purchase price) arguing about the subject is not going to get anywhere, ive floated around this place for a long time before i joined and became a member. this has happened before. it will happen again. this is where bubble needs to step in( or the new moderators that have been chosen) and try to come to a decent civilized agreement. you are all making your businesses looking very unprofessional in the process of trying to drag the other through the perverbial mud. jokes that have been taken literally in this topic should be taken as such. new members should respect the opnions of the older posters. they have lived through similar incidents. just have respect for each other, agree to disagree. we come here to research retailers with a free and open atmosphere, using the forum with multiple accounts to build credibility isnt going to win anyone friends and neither is acusing people of using multiple accounts. ok i need to stop, im rambling im sorry go on with your discussion.

mushrat Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 um gixxer, the emoticons are important around here..notice the lol and the after his remark about beign one of them?? As has been pointed out, it was a JOKE. And you are now guilty of the same reactionism you were just critcizing in others. There are several of us "old guys" who have this thing called a sense of humour...droll occasionally, immature often, but a sense of humour none the less... While i realize this thread is getting a bit heated, and i accept that It's partially due to me...do try to get this all in perspective. We are not all feel good the world is nice until it proves otherwise idealists...the reality is that there are gimicks and there is business, and giving away hookahs is gimic and I'm sorry, but if you are going to gimick around, don't be expected to be taken real seriously as a Business. so relax, smoke a nice bowl of something fruity and relax... Trust us...we're from the government and we are here to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imonlyapuppet Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 [quote name='mushrat']the several positive postings by established members has done them far more good than any free MYA to a stranger because of a delayed shipment and a "hookah lottery".[/quote] I agree with this. When I saw this thread, it just seems TOO generous of an up-and-coming company. Seems like they're trying to be nice and win over some starting customers, but then it might go downhill from there. It also worries me that the owner, or at least the one posting for the company, got so defensive and somewhat angry when people criticised them. Competition and bad reviews and cautious buyers is all a part of the game, you don't have to bring a "i know what i'm doing, so fight me if you don't like me" attitude to the table.

Sonthert Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'm still sooo cold, Mushy, all this anger...can't we all just get along??Gixxer...just so there's no misunderstanding, I'm 35 and I forgot the emoticon, because I didn't remember that not everyone knows that I'm fairly light-hearted and take no ill-will or malice towards anybody who doesn't mean me any harm. So, for you, Gixxer, I dedicate this row of emoticons to you.And one more, from me, personally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
