PersianPride Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 so why did this emirate-shisha go under? And who was this hookahbadass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 they went under beacuse they were charging 35 bucks a box of havanna... Badass was Richard, the owner attacking the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Hookah Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 And on the site they're mocking people who think $35 a box is outrageous? Wow! I'm sure it was well thought out...haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 How is Richard related to Ravi? Didn't mathazar become their moderator for a while?? so much politics p.s., whatever happened to cypress and wyteboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsboy Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 HAHAHAHAHA This is funny ... adrock5150 : As you know, Mr. Badass, I am myself personally involved in the Hookah Business so having this forum gives me the opportunity to push my products on these dildos while at the same time making sure that every other company (like genuine-hookah, social-smoke, shisha-emirates and the-hookah.com) gets a real rotten view. You have to understand that since my business acumen translates roughly to that possessed by a small child this is one of my only ways to get back at those who are more intelligent than I in such matters.

MN Hookah Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I think think that it's pretty sad that he's alienating the people who did post over there on something as childish and immature as this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersianPride Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 OK I think I am getting all the pieces of this soap opera into place mushy What I still don't get is why this guy thinks that putting this 'script' up is going to hurt hookahforum.com and why exactly the Ravi guy is so pissed at the forum and I guess specifically you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Like i said, *I* know how to carry a grudge..., but JD is getting a bit..over the top. Ravi is John deere over here if thats unclear. Suffice to say I was one of the people, before I even had MOD powers, who helped keep him off this forum after he switched over to .net to be a global mod. witht he very guy who posted what you see over there and made the attackes here. That pissed a lot of us off. So we banded together to keep him gone. Now i'm about the only one left from that effort..so i'm the best target. Real funny thing is in that page on the .net, there WERE posts with HIS name and Avitar too..he's obviously edited those out. I have the original of what he posted stored...and its around here someplace if you know where to look i think. This is going to get worse. I'm not what we/I did Lately...but its sure gotten him going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalliwag Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 It really is due to numbers. I have a Yahoo Group called "Guitar Trader". It is actually for the DFW area and for locals to buy-sell-trade guitar related stuff. We have been going several months SUPER smooth. Everybody was happy and loving it. This week for the first time out of the blue this prick signs up and immediately starts pissing people off. People post something and he starts doing internet searches and finds a place with whatever it is a little cheaper and sends an inflammatory reply to the entire group about the asking price. Immediately everybody starts replying what an asshole this guy is and it goes downhill from there. So I step in since I am the mod and say that since this guy likes to do this that everybody should email him before they post and let him "help" them set a price. So he got pissed about that. I was like, if he wants to play his game then lets let the bastage become more productive. Problem is he does not want to be productive, he just wants to criticise. He tells me I should ignore his posts, I tell him as moderator it is my place to monitor posts. I am not playing a power trip at all. Anyone that knows me knows I am not like that. But I have 3 kids and if I let them act like shitheads it would always be chaos. Smiley has very good intentions I'm sure but the reality is that there are always going to be assholes and people that like being critical for the sake of being critical. Moderators are there to try and keep things in control but it is harder than it looks. Hopefully Smiley is lucky and can maintain an asshole free environment. But let's say that 1 out of every 100 people are assholes (I think that is VERY conservative) 2200 people are going to have 220 assholes. I have a buddy with a really old Martin guitar worth around 12k because it is mint and SUPER hard to find. Have you ever wonder why that was? It's not because so few were made but that most of them were messed up by one fuggin dumbass!!! If he let anybody that wanted to play it do so it would be in the hands of at least one asshole at some point . The problem is not the guitar but dumbasses that fugg things up. It is a free and open forum with a LOT more good people than bad so we have to factor in the problems that pertain to the numbers. Everybody needs to keep that in perspective.

Sonthert Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Well, its unfortunate. It just goes to show, war doesn't prove who's right, only who's left. Working together with others makes alot more progress than having spitting contests. I'm not gonna be the one to say they were the only ones shouting across the river, but alas one of the giants has fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
