I posted my opinion on vaping like others did. You did not attack them, only me. In fact, you were polite to them, didn't personally attack them or their family...their relative wealth, previous posts, personality, etc.
Anything after your personal attack is your own fault.
And yes, I did give advice. My advice was that forcing others to breathe second hand smoke/vapor will lead to little sympathy from voters/politicians when the government outlaws doing so (just as they did with public smoking)...so those who want ready availability of the material you started the thread about (and associated devices) should police their own.
If you don't do what I said annoyed me...then you should have had no problem with my post. Surely you are not encouraging people (maybe children) that read here to start smoking/vaping (which technical advice regarding cool gadgets seems to imply). My post that you found so offensive still seems pretty benign to me. Read it again:

It leads me to have little sympathy for those that partake of either...when laws are enacted to make partaking difficult.

Yes. I am very happy that I no longer have to endure smokers in restaurants, on aircraft, in cars, at work...or clean ashtrays and pick up butts as I had to do for decades. Those were some pretty darned inconsiderate people. But, as addicts, they just didn't care, or couldn't help themselves. As stated, my advice would be not to start.
