It's a full time job in my eyes and it's not something I could commit to, to do the role the justice that we all deserve. I suspect lots of people will feel the same way.

Going to be quite blunt here. Who in their right mind would take that job on knowing that no matter what they say or do there will be others slagging them off or knifing them in the back?

Quite right, but at the moment ECCA are getting blamed and accused of everything. Including having no Chair!

I'm going to be blunt too. Without a Chair consumers are going to struggle to have their voice heard to the wider audience, ie press, tv etc. So the fact of the matter is all those ECCA haters and those that slag us off, are the ones putting your vaping future in jeopardy.

I know its a minority and many many vapers are behind us, unfortunately as with everything its always the few that make the majority get punished. Hopefully we can slowly get rid of the haters, but we can't please everyone. And I feel that may take too long.

Anyway sorry for the blunt message and it wasn't aimed at you dolly, we just need to knock the past on the head, draw a line under it and move on. Unfortunately for some that is nearly impossible. And it's YOUR life they are affecting!

Glad you said it wasn't aimed at me! Don't think I have slagged ECCA off! I have and will always ask questions, but know only too well how difficult it is doing these kinds of things.

I think Ash is right though. Because of this big issue hanging over our heads, we really do need someone who can dedicate their time to it on a full time basis.

[matt1988]

Maybe not full time, but they always need to be available most of the time.

Yeh I do apologise I quoted you in that comment, but I started and so I thought I would finish

Without upsetting anyone, can we not turn this into an ECCA's Chairman thread please.

With the greatest respect MP, you are here as a normal ecig user. While I want and would like to know ECITAs view on things, unless you are here on ECITAs business, the thread goes where the thread goes.
If you want to appeal to the mods, then fair enough. But you don't get to decide otherwise. IMHO.

I'm not going to kick off with you Womble, it's not my way mate, I just don't want the thread hi-jacked. Perhaps starting a new thread on the subject would be more appropriate.

Mine neither, so it's good we are both in the same place.

I think you ought to speak to Chrissie if you have any problems with the way threads are going.
