As Kandesys has kindly posted a 3rd link to yet another thread & id this time on POTV, it's time to say goodbye to the op. Edit - I crossed posts with you kibbster Should we ban people merely because they want to find out our experiences? For whatever reason. I don't really think we have anything to hide and as long as the person isn't a troll, I can't see the harm. They could get all the info they need from a search, so at the least they are a lazy researcher. I have to admit womble that I am in 2 minds about banning them. I also think we have nothing to hide but just don't like to see members being taken for a ride

It's not like there's any negatives to speak of anyway but with the crucial vote with the TPD coming up after months of misinformation coming from the medical and tobacco control group the past 10 months it's understandable when vapers are annoyed with low blows and dirty tactics.
Some out there would like nothing better to use our own testimonies against us, we can't really argue with stuff we said ourselves. Paranoid or cynical? Maybe, but I wouldn't put anything past the ANTZ after I spent a few months on Twitter.

I don't think they should be banned either. Just come clean...ask questions and get answers from the forum members. Easy

You must admit, something doesn't add up properly. It will be interesting to see if he returns to any of the forums he's registered on, later next week.

I have a funny feeling we won't see him or any of his alter egos again.

Welcome aboard, It's an unusual introduction, and an odd question to pose to a forum for enthusiasts. Couldn't have put it better myself, Mark. You never know, samheart may introduce him/herself over on the newbies thread , so folk don't get the wrong impression. Hi, Sorry i'm relatively new to forum style posting so wasn't aware of such a large community sort of vibe, this is definitely apparent now seeing 3 pages of responses triggered by my innocent question... i'll pop over to the newbies thread and happily give an intro to myself, Thanks!

I also think we have nothing to hide but just don't like to see members being taken for a ride I understand and we are more paranoid than we were, I found myself getting wound up at work this week when a couple of friends started telling me I should just give up smoking now its Stoptober. I told them I was wound up enough thankyou, what with the EU parliament and everything else, I didn't need them to wind me up as well. Plus one of them questioned the wearing of my "Vaping for life" T shirt, saying, what's vap-ping anyway. I should have worn a "fapping for life" T shirt and answered the questions honestly I suppose it's the underhand way it is done and I do commend you on looking after the people on here.

You've started the same thread on a number of forums though, not what a new forum poster would do. Especially under different names, as Jason says, if you come clean we'll answer any questions you want.

Yes - I think it's the different names bit that makes it confusing Sam Not too late to make a clean start though (providing you're not from the Daily Mail )

Maybe McCaravan is trying to infiltrate the enemy Actually, she just ignores us, more likely to be Glans, McKee or Chapman. One thing I can guarantee is McCraven reads this forum and all the others.

My gut feeling is that this is more related to an e-cig vendor or affiliate trying to gather good feedback on e-cigs to post on all the many false e-cig review sites I have seen the OP's thread in new members but sadly, I'm still unsure, so the jury is out as far as I'm concerned.

You will be surprised at the lengths the enemy will go to, to gather information. Where better to get it than from the horses mouth??? I know for a fact if I was fighting a cause against something I would be a member of a forum(s) that are the opposite to my cause, its a simple case on infiltration!!!!!!
