How about you quote that beating he took? Seems to me he popped off in a thread in politics and opened himself to debate. Which happened and remained rather civil, considering the usual debate tactics your buddy uses through over 1300 posts between CR and HP (where he was temp banned at least twice). By the way, out of those 1300+ posts no more than 30 actually had anything to do with cigars. Funny that...Quote:

Wah.....
that’s classyQuote:
STFU you priest sucking piece of retarded shit.
Hmmm...I don't normally condone bringing crap from other boards over here...
pot: Hey kettle
kettle: yeah?
pot: You're black!
kettle: :smiley19:
Well, see, that's the thing. The drum that has been beaten here for quite a while now has been reputation travels. What happens on others board does matter. Whether you are a liar, a thief, or just a miserable bastard that exists only to attack others. Many here, myself included, have been banned from other forums for brow beating the admins and members over shitheads like puro and scotty. Hell, we killed thecigarforum.com to get the guy to toss scotty and some guy from stogie chat.Quote:

Actually, before CR moved, I have plenty of cigar related posts, not that that has shit to do with anything.Quote:

BTW, those are some of my better posts:smiley44:

It took him a while to change his tune from, "I'm just trying to sell some guys who know about cigars, I don't need this..." to, "I want to be a part of your board and contribute."
I smelled his BS, and if you look at the time and date stamps, nobody other than Basil and I engaged this guy for pretty much the first couple days. So, there was no ganging up, just a simple, we don't want people who come to sell, make a buck, and leave. Those are the people who a true newb could unsuspectingly engage in a sale with and get screwed.
And yes, you do belong here, you're just as stubborn as the rest of us ;-)

I have to be honest - I'm very confused, because it REALLY surprises me that both you and Sid are showing some side to your personalities I've never seen before...
Me too. But I bet we have different reasons. :smiley9:Quote:

It is not news that I prefer self moderated smash mouth boards. I have a home here and another board that take that approach.
Boards of this nature do have the potential of running off people that might be positive contributors...But a vast majority of people realize if they are not shills and pass the thick skin test things will work out.
People have come here, pissed in the Wheaties, taken a little verbal hazing, and became good members. Shills and AssHats have departed rather quickly.
We have a good group of people here. SDMV if you want to stay by all means do. You're gonna take some heat...Hell we all take some heat here from time to time. If you don't like the atmosphere here than do what you must.
Sid...I hope you are not serious about saying this place might not be for you. You're one of the good guys.
why don't we do this...let's just chase everyone who has a different point of view as george and shag...okay......beautiful!!....
i'll stop asking people to come over here..God forbid...some of the members here might think they're assholes.....bullshit!!!....this is absolute bullshit!!!...
we're too quick on the trigger....if you can't see it...you're fucking blind....
i'm really pissed....thanks for your support george....it's your board...do with it as you please....
Other than PGuy, who have we run off so quickly? The person before that was that British guy who was just looking for a profit. Which, I would argue was exactly what PGuy was doing until he sought to garner some support by saying, oh yeah, I want to contribute to the community too.

valuman wasn't run off but didn't really like the vibe here...same as cigardude,and about six other guys that i asked to come over......
if you can't see that the gang mentality is hurting us...then there's no more i can say....
too many guys are trying to impress with how quick they can get rid of anyone...some have agreed with what i'm saying....
i'm pissed...and pretty much done....
