Dude, you're trying a little too hard which make everybody a little suspicious. I don't think you are old enough to legally smoke either. Dec. 23, 1988 doesn't cut it. You shouldn't use the same user name on different forums if you are looking to run a scam.Quote:

Here's a post about cigars with possibly the most cigar brand misspellings ever recorded in a single thread.
Here's a non-related, but good, read. :smiley4:
And same birthday on the Drugs & Booze Board.
OK I will take it that since it was under my reply on page 3 of this thread that perhaps i am the one that doesn't have enough history to be trusted to participate. No Biggie, however would like to point out i am not trying to scam. Just got back from a year in Baghdad (hence the pic with IBA on and Groucho Marx mask my son sent me) and thought this sounded fun. Actually kinda of amusing that people are peered out of a Secret Santa. You sirs, shall go on the naughty list. :smiley21: Have fun guys, except for SLCRaiders who peered out a fellow soldier who just returned (Think i mentioned this in my first post about the importance of sending sticks to guys in Iraq). You shall now go down in the books as a true Blue Falcon. Just kidding knucklehead, be safe and remember, that's not tobacco in Haji's Hookah.

Trust here is earned...and the Secret Santa is certainly not a place to begin earning it. Try the newbie sampler and work your way up from there.Quote:

I don't post much but Roham can over see my pass to make sure it meets the standard.
Any friend of Roham is good to go in my books.:smiley20:Quote:

It is sort of a shame that you guys feel that all first timers shouldn't be allowed to participate, but I understand that rules are rules, so I am willing to comply out of respect.Quote:

Too bad because you seem to be great when talking and trading cigars.
Koolhandk thanks for the back up. Appreciate it. That by the way showed great character.
As i tried to say to begin with, have a good time guys. Just wanted to make sure i wasn't lumped in with the other gentleman that seemed to be a legitimate scammer. I don't post much but do enjoy the information.
Well golly gee, as long as YOU say you aren't a scammer. I hope you aren't, but the simple fact is, we don't know you from Adam's housecat's butthole. Don't like it? We don't really care. Spend some time here getting to know people and letting us get to know you and earn your place and we will care. Until then, boo hoo.
I will give you a perfect example of why we are the way we are. There is this little cigar forum called CigarLive. People there let folks just walk in off the street, with zero credibility, and have all the rights and respect that folks who have put in the time to earn it have. Well, just this past week a well known scammer, using a new name, who promised he wasn't a scammer, took them for a shit ton of cigars. Now, the forum owner and all his little fanbois are trying to justify their own stupidity. Well, that won't happen here. Why? Because we hold your feet to the fire until you prove yourself. If that gets you all butt hurt, to bad. I am sure you can find the door.
My response was meant with the utmost respect. I was just trying to tell it like it is. Gain some credibility here and then we'll talk Secret Santa, etc.Quote:

Additionally let it be noted that nowhere in the rules placed in this thread does it say that one must have a verified history of cigar trading. The request to not include first time traders was made after both myself and slkr4life signed up. After slcraider's posting we both declined when we could have easily stayed on like cowards instead of calling ourselves out. I can't speak for anyone but myself on the fact that I am not here to make enemies or to start any problems, but your reaction was slightly uncalled for, at least in your tone and choice of words. Although you don't know me and I don't know you, I would hope that you could afford me the common courtesy and respect that I have tried to show to all of you.Quote:

I do this not to prove myself to anyone but because A. you have been cool and B. I have five extra cigars, a box, bubble wrap, and water pillow just lying around.
JFellows I am pretty sure I wasn't speaking to you...be polite and mind your business.
Listen, asshole - when you post on a public board, you're talking to everyone. Take it to a PM when you want to speak with a single person. Make sense?Quote:

I am simply just trying to stick up for myself. I am a grown man and I refuse to be talked down to by anyone and I am sure you can appreciate that.Quote:

Slow down. There have been many many guys go down this road and believe me it doesn't work out, it also doesn't have to be that way. The reason behind asking people to sit out their first year or at least until they have built a bit of a rep is because of the tendency for cigar forums to get quite a few mooches and thieves. We combat this by being a pretty tight knit group and watching each others backs. Trust that if you do your time and take your lumps you won't find a better group of guys out there. We're hard and abrasive for a reason it weeds out those individuals that don't possess a certain type of character. That character being one of loyalty, honesty and respect. You'll be respected here Kool but only after you earn it, the boards are filled with so many scammers and thieves that there is really no way one can expect to be respected right off, if we were to trust and respect you right away there is a really good chance you'd screw us. Start off humble, listen to the guys who have been around for awhile and you'll be alright. You might be a grown up in the real world but on the forum you're still just a kid.Quote:

I do appreciate you taking the time to talk and react like a levelheaded adult.
You seem to have an overwhelming need to be a martyr. Good luck with that. Let me know how it works out. We are simply informing you how this place works. It has been this way from the start and it will be this way long after you fall on your sword. And your veiled snotty posts are a real good way to completely bury yourself. So, just keep on digging.Quote:

This doesn't have to be a big deal koolhandk.
Don't mind Shag, he might be gruff, but he's really just a teddy bear.
Guys, if you want to share some Xmas cheer, send some cigars to each other, or, next time you're sitting at your local b&m, hand a nice stick to Random Stranger sitting next to you, or, volunteer at a soup kitchen...whatever.
2007 marks my 3rd Christmas on the board. It also marks my 2nd Secret Santa trade. The first year, I felt like I wasn't around long enough to participate, and although I had completed a pass and a trade at that point, I didn't feel like I knew the guys well enough to send them something they would like. You can't really know that if you've only been around 2 or 3 months.
Sorry I am not well versed in the whole forum thing so I didn't really know all about the whole PM thing.Quote:

If there is nothing, than Ill have to just wait untill next year, and work my way up form the bottom. I will start out small trades etc. As for my age and all that other stuff, my birthday is 12/23/88. That makes me 18, in New York, it is 18 to buy, posses and smoke tobacco. Maybe thats not what it is in other states, Im not sure. As for the the other birthdates, when i joined those forums I wasnt 18, so i chaged the date. Probably wasnt the best idea in the world. If theres anything else that needs to be cleared up I will happily do so. Sorry to cause such a problem.
No problem buddy. Definately took that one the wrong way, my bad.Quote:

I can respect that as you probably have no other choice for dealing with people. For all I know you could be a swell guy outside of your mom's basement. However, no one will ever know this until you learn tact. Some of your post's are filled with good information, but it is all lost when you fill it with useless dribble that mirrors a five year old that just learned a dirty word and continually uses it to impress people.
Take your reply (above ) to me. If you take out: "golly gee, Adam's Housecat's butthole, we don't care, boo hoo, If that gets you all butt hurt, to bad, and I am sure you can find the door" then it sounds like a legitimate statement. The example you gave was solid. However, the way you chose to write it portrays someone lacking confidence trying way to hard to sound tough.
It doesn't matter how many posts you have or how long ago you joined, until you learn to communicate effectively it is impossible to take you seriously. If you really want to instill
knowledge and utilize your seniority, try mentoring people. No one knows everything and i am sure you do have information that someone could use.

Dumbass. Any humility one may have evaporates (or more likely, was never there in the first place) when one professes to have it.Quote:
