mushrat Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 We get the idea there were issues. We all have issues on our forums, you should read what other people say about us. If you are happy here, cool, be happy here. Thank you very much. Mushy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmccoy90 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I haven't been around long enough to have experienced this. Could someone explain without violating the rules how this all happened and left so many scars between the "factions" of our hookah community? I don't think this community is unreasonably strict. With structure comes a fostering of intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Act Two: His personal life went to crap so his business went with it. ATF running around about his tobacco business practices, etc. People not getting their merchandise, etc. Vanished into the wind leaving customers without their merchandise or money. Act Three: Could not deal with having made his own failure, blamed anyone and everyone who dared to call him out, foul-mouthed other vendors who actually worked to maintain their business and reputation. Turned out to be a racist jerk. The members themselves here at HF chose to wash their hands of him. Admin actually only enforced the same rules with him they do with everyone else. The End.

And for those of you that are still curious, do some digging in the threads that are around 2-3 years old. Honestly though, It's really not that interesting at all....Actually pretty pitiful and shows how low someone will stoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're doing any kind of packaging you have to have a manufacturing license. It's not even that expensive. It was like $2,000 when I checked. Big whoop. No, instead let's have ATF knocking on the door. It was a "Here's your sign....." moment. 'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
