MilqueToast Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 This issue seems to be more of an attempt to piss us off than just a review of what we offer/ don't offer. The first issue (if these even can be called issues) at least seemed like he was trying to be legitimate. He's doing this to get a rise out of us, and I don't see what everyone's getting all worked up about. I seriously doubt that anyone outside of the forum is stacking up page views for this fella. It's kind of pathetic like a myspace blog about ending a bad relationship. I don't even think I care enough to read anymore. It's stupid, and we obviously know that his opinion is worth about as much as a red headed step child. Moving on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauldavis Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 well when i got a QT from him and the base was cracked, it took foooorrreeevveeerrr for me to get a response out of him, eventually i called Mya and they called him and during one conversation they told me that they were no longer going to sell their hookahs to him because they did not like they way he did his business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Yeah, well, Damocles, it is my sword, yeah. Other than that, how was the rest of the play, Mrs. Lincoln? Do I plug my own product too much? I don't think so. Maybe. I'll think about it. I'm glad that this online magazine has taken this tact. Here's why: 1. We aren't too big or too great to be above criticism. 2. We might be offending people, inadvertantly. We should keep it in mind. 3. Its a hypercritical publication, everything they publish is more or less negative, from what I read, admittedly, I didn't have the time to read the whole thing. 4. Its their right and its great we live in a country where its their right. From a personal perspective: 5. When people have a complaint against me, I'll address it, but it never bothers me. Same thing here. 6. I might respond in short to these charges: a. I can change my login name for any reason I wish. Humble or otherwise...it was in response to a post by Imonlyapuppet who had trouble searching for information. Other people have said the same thing. b. Other specific charges are a matter of opinion. 7. As I commented elsewhere, I'm sorry to say. We all make mistakes. It is entirely possible that somebody was banned without good cause. Its not something that can be known, truly. We have to make decisions about which people pose a potential problem...sometimes we goof. I say that we invite hookahmag puts a post on the serious discussion area with their specific criticisms and we can address them. Whats more fair than that?

EliteHookah.com Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Greetings all, I’d like to take this opportunity to clear some things up. 1.There is no association between EliteHookah and Culture Clash Magazine. We do share an office and we did supply a small donation to help them get started and purchase some advertising. However, it is a completely independent entity and I assure you that I have no control over the subject matter, management, etc. Doug is a really nice guy though and he seems to know what he’s doing. I think his offer to post what you write is genuine and I wouldn’t blow the whole thing off just because you disagree with the opinion of one writer. I honestly think that some of the stuff on there sucks but Doug seems to be very open to ideas. 2. Paul Davis – please check your facts. Although we aren’t carrying any MYA pipes at this time, you will still find their accessories on our website. If they aren’t doing business with us any more it would be news to me. 3. EliteHookah hasn’t been posting much lately because I understand how you guys feel about not wanting vendors clogging up the forum. I do, however, post with my personal name “Lung Enema” when I have the time (which isn’t much), and I read the forum pretty much every day. I enjoy the forum a lot when I have a few minutes in the day to mess around. That’s all I wanted to say. I hope that everyone can work everything out with Culture Clash. Honestly, I just didn’t want you to cross reference IPs and then jump to the conclusion that I hate the forum or something. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I think if you are positively posting in areas other than just things pertaining to your company or brands you sell and its well known that you are commercial entity, I don't think there's too much that anybody's gonna say...otherwise they would kicked my ass off long ago. In short, don't sound like a commercial. Give honest appraisals of other brands and don't be too high on your company or your products and you can be welcome. We liked having you around. Come back.

Skimo Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Like Susan said, just be active in more posts than just things about your company and don't advertise 24/7 like some others have done, although I will name no names hookah hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Its not uncommon for guys to buy stuff through Mya's distributors rather than from Mya directly. Even though Mya doesn't want to deal with small sales, the distributors are more than happy to accomodate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Elite: actually I'm glad to hear you arent behind tis. I was under the impression everythign was going well with you and us. Your friend Doug, however, has an obvious ax to grind and the fact that you can't really contact him and the phone number posted is answered by a voice mail for Melissa does nothing to help his image. The good thing is that any reasposnable person will read his tripe for what it is, since so much o it is devoted to knocking the HF.com and since he posts nothing from us in our defence, there is no doubt as to his ulterior motive. No matter how NICE a guy he is. As for the "mystery" poster we banned for no reason..if it's Caro, he's not actually banned..but I can tell you our evidence is pretty strong against him. If his supposedly wronged member will come foreward with a NAME, instead of hiding in the shadows whining, then I'd saw we'll be able to make a pretty good case for our actions. And I'm sorry, I'M not going to try to explain myself to anyone, including doug, who I personally banned and will ban his entire IP should he show his face again without naming soem names and putting up or shutting up. If .net wants him, then they are more desperate than they look. We Banned Ravi (aka John Deere again, and he pissed to the webmaster how mean we were being) who runs the place now that Dick and S-E has gone away because we REMEMBER what he did when he was unhappy last time. Explain to doug who posted almost nothing to contribute to the forum but sure felt qualified to deeply critique us, (what, we not bow down enough to him and his e-zine?) That we have a wider reader/member base than him and .net put together, and the reason its so nice and peaceful over there is that there are perhaps 5 people who actually post, and 2 of them are the same guy. We on the other hand, dispite the fact we are so mean to our new members, are constantly growing and expanding... So lets hear complaints from REAL people. Not, mystery whiners and Melissa's little boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suicideguy Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 From my very limited knowledge of the past that has enveloped this forum, I'm guessing that it isn't GH because he still has a discount code that relates to this forum. So I'm guessing it isn't him otherwise he would have removed the discount. Just my 0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
