Is PuroBrat a mooch?

Scotty, the pseudo-mod, got his panties all in a bunch and pointed out that making comments about PuroBrat's obvious mooch attempts is innappropriate anywhere on the board except here. I don't know how we're going to tip-toe around the other threads, with Puro being so active in his subtle mooches, but I guess this is a start to satisfy ol' Scotty....

So - by Scotty's request - what do you think - is PuroBrat a mooch???

I am NOT a mooch!!!

it seems he is trying to be. but he only can be if someone gives him cigars. someone should not be pittied who, in so many words, asked to be.

But, I while doing my best to not let CC and the others' opinions of you influence mine, I have myself noticed quite a bit of subtle self pity in most of you postings here. For example, if you can't afford to get in on our box split that is likely happening within a week or so, why litter the thread with non-constructive banter about your financial situation. Your suggestion about Rare Corojo was appropriate and appreciated in it's context to the discussion at hand, but the second remark was inappropriate and entirely uncalled for. I'm sorry if you have issues with finances at current. I assure you we all have our own problems (being on the verge of divorce myself) and honestly I don't really give a shit about your issues. I have seen you mention no less than twice that you are on disability... good for you. I'm paying my fathers rent and bills because he's been waiting 7 years for SSI to approve the VA's request for his disability. You don't hear me bitching and moaning about it all over the board, because it's irrelavent and inappropiate to do so on a CIGAR board.

Sorry to rant, but :smiley35: :smiley35: :smiley35: , I've had about e- :smiley35: -nough.

I deleted the above post from my Box-Split Request thread in order to take this discussion to the proper forum. At this point I don't care if ppl think I'm rude. I've had enough of listening to puro's invites to his pity party. I come here to escape the tradgedies of my own life and discuss my love for cigars with like minded people... call it stress-relief, if you will. Listening to you drone on and on about how tight money is and so on and so forth really stresses me out. I can't enjoy coming here and having discussions if 98% of your posts have some subtle hint that your life is bad.

Grow up or piss off.

I agree with you 8-5-8. Unfortunately, the Purobrat you are refering to is only using that name to make me look bad. I am the Purobrat from the other cigar boards, and I have been given the rep of a mooch. So whoever is Purobrat here has decided to step it up a notch and really be a mooch. I guess I wasn't mooching enough elsewhere for them to keep convincing others that I WAS a mooch. :smiley11:

Trust me, I am not all that Pathetic. :smiley37:

I agree, whoever is posting here as Purobrat is probably posting as themself as well. I would compare IPs if I had access and out the :smiley35: .

For what?

Were some kind of copyright laws violated?

I do remember that in the user agreement that Hex CANNOT disclose other member's IP addresses to anyone else. If he does that, he's in trouble.

Posts under "PuroBrat" sure look like the real thing to me. As a matter of fact, they are almost if not identical to his posts on other boards.

I wonder if "TheRealPurobrat" is not the "imposter" or are they BOTH really PuroBrat? Are NEITHER of them really the REAL Purobrat.

Does any of this matter anyway?

LMAO "out" the person? For doing WHAT exactly? Please tell me how any laws or rules of the board were violated?

I think "PuorBrat" is really YOU Michael and you were turning out to be very unpopular here so now you've started this alterego of yours just to make the "good guys" look bad.

You are pathetic (I don't even know who I'm talking to here) :smiley36:

It matters because regardless of whether there is an imposter, This whole situation has had a negative effect on the board. I finally found someplace I felt like there where people that KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, as opposed to looking at me like I'm speaking gibberish when I tell them that I'm smoking a Honduran blend with a sumatran wrapper. I'm here a week and the Purobrats show up and wreck the place with hokey tributes, Garth Brooks lyrics, and the ongoing pity party. Honestly if this goes on another week I don't think I can handle it...

No Bill, no laws were broken, but somebody is trying to make me look worse. And in case you haven't noticed, I look bad enough on the boards on my own. I don't need any help.

I assure you, the Purobrat that has been posting here, is not the Purobrat you have come to know and dislike, I am. :smiley31:

No one is "trying to make you look worse" as you so eloquently pointed out, you do a fine job of that all on your own.

As I've posted in other thread, why are you bitching about it if the words are your own to begin with?

I still think both screen names are yours and once you saw your ship sinking here you decided to come up with this crazy concoction that someone was pretending to be you.

This isn't "The Island of the Misfit Toys" here Puro so why not take both of your screen names then hell on back to the Island and bring your biatch Scroto with you. The only reason Scroto is here is because another one of you assfocker from "The Island" (Oblik) was here and when I found him here, I started pointing out to members here that he is a nasty, untrustworthy blowhard who does not live up to his obligations. So Blodick (Oblik, whatever) goes crying to you Island guys and Scroto comes over here to his rescue. Then YOU sign up but don't post which I thought was strange. Scroto "stands up" for Blodick but in only a matter of a few weeks, all of a sudden Scrotto does a 180 on Oblick and calls for his moderator status to be taken away from him.

You Island guys are laughable :smiley36: Again, please do us all a favor here at CigarSmokers and just leave. It would be much appreciated.

Are you saying the words written on this board are not of your own hand, PuroBrat?

Is this you? Or did someone create a PuroBrat persona there as well....

PuroBrat introduces himself

(take it a step further and please read his profile :smiley2: - read his "occupation" )

It is true that a LOT of the posts here by Purobrat were copied from posts I made elsewhere. But they have been taken out of context, and they have been Mooch embelished. They were NOT posted here by me, rather someone pretending to be me.

What a freakin' mess. CC may be right, I should just stay at the Island and let this alone. :smiley35:

Yes, that one IS me, unfortunately that site died. Haven't been there in ages. Too bad too, there just aren't enough Cigar Boards on the net, don't you think? :smiley8:

Interesting.... 5 months is not "ages" to me...

The way I view things is...If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it is a duck. :smiley36:

"Ages" LMFAO, I love that one PB :smiley20: So you think there aren't enough cigar boards on the net, huh? Is that because you're persona non-grata at just about all of them at this point?

So that IS INDEED you on that other site!!! You bitch about your posts here being "mooch enhanced" but the posts and information that you actually own up to on that other site are MORE of a direct, blatant attempt at mooching than pretty much anything that is posted here under both of your screen names.

You are absolutely incredible.

As CigarSarge said.........


QUACK QUACK

Ok, maybe I'm naive - what was the joke??? Can someone please explain it to me??? I must have missed something....

hex can tell us which two members have the same IP. not their actual IP, i believe. i was thinking it would prove it really was him. which i thought it was mostly based on all of his posts before he started playing the 'pity me' game. now, i'm not so sure......... :smiley36:

Will the REAL PuroMooch either:

1. Please stand up

OR

2. Please leave

Drake's got a point, I think the IP addys for PuroBrat & TheRealPuroBrat are the same.

ok, ok. i'm the REAL purobrat. the other two are imposters :smiley36:

No! I'm Santa Claus!

Sorry.. wrong movie... :smiley9:

Seriously, though... an end needs to be brought to this.

Purobrat (Michael) is and will always be a mooch! He's been run off of just about every cigar board around because of that, amoung other things.

Fock off PB, nobody gives a rat's ass what you think anyway! :smiley21:

Hello CU. I am new here, but am a member at several other boards and have been smoking gars for about 7 years (This time, long story). I find I like a lot of the cheaper stuff (financial habit I guess) but love the occasional Dark Side diversion and Premo to Super Premo, when available. I am a Padron Slut and a Fuente whore (like who isn't, right)

I look forward to getting to know how this board works :)

Hello to some of the guys I recognize from CPass as well ;)

Yep, and they should be banned for clearly attempting to disrupt the board. The "original" PB is a fraud. PB told me that he never registered here two days after "PB" the original signed up-simple fact. :smiley2:

Uh Oh somebody's gonna be getting a "strike" next to their name .LMFAO

Tell us what you REALLY think, Scotty... You should be a mod! :smiley2:

Whoever that "PuroBrat" is really is disrupting the board - this place is definitely in a shambles because of him!!! :smiley36:

Actually, if the REAL PB was here, this place would be in a shambles so maybe we SHOULD ban him before he comes here...

I think this whole situation actually is rather funny and pathetic at the same time... PB is definitely nothing more than a friggen pathetic psychotic mooch... And Scotty is there to defend him... Oh, great...

YOU should be banned Scroto. After all you ONLY came here to disrupt the board to defend your butt buddy Blodick. Oh wait, you've now realized I weas right and he is indeed a no good piece of $hit. On second thought you should be banned for shear stupidity for coming here, disrupting the board to DEFEND A SCAMMER.

Too bad you have no say over who should be banned huh Scroto? Feel free to continue to state your opinions because when you do it only results in MORE people thinking your an egotistical, pigheaded jerkoff. :smiley2:

Hex could tell in a few minutes if Purobrat and realpurobrat are the same. Just check the ip address from the post. They should all be loged. Since they where both posting the same day. If the Ip's are close then he was just using pc's in the same network trying to fool everyone.

been through this before....that's wishful thinking 8-5-8....just try to relax and enjoy the ride. :smiley36:

I have learned my lesson at trying to "help" resolve these kinds of issues.

I have to admit though...this one is pretty funny...kinda like a bad Columbo movie. :smiley17: We've got mystery, drama, and comedy all rolled into one.

Yep - sit back and enjoy the ride!!! While these kinds of things appear to be outwardly ugly, they are normal growing pains kind of stuff...

There are boards set up on the net, to get away from other boards BS - which to ME is BS. You've got guys on the net that no matter where they go are a pariah. They establish themselves on the NEW board as a "nice" guy and it sometimes takes months and months to realize they ARE a pariah. It would be really nice if they came to the new board with a sign hanging on their avatar "PARIAN" so you could spot them more easily...

Just think of this situation as a service provided to you by more experienced BOTL's who are trying to rid the net of the pariah's - kinda like calling in the Orkin man. It stinks for a while while the bug joice works, but afterwards it's nice not to be bothered by the cockroaches running around. :smiley2:

hey George...not to break your rhythm here....but what exactly is "bug joice"? :smiley17:
