Alright George, ya got me. I was trying to avoid this but I happen to have strong views about Mr. C.

To begin at the beginning, Mr. C should start developing the parts of his brain that have been impaired by adversarialism. At least then he'll stop trying to envelop us in a nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror. I have absolutely no idea why he makes such a big fuss over having to actually search this site. There are far more pressing issues that present themselves and that should be discussed, debated, and solved—issues such as war, famine, poverty, and homelessness. There is also the lesser issue that Mr. C thinks it's good that his adages oppress, segregate, and punish others. It is difficult to know how to respond to such monumentally misplaced values, but let's try this: He does not tolerate any view that differs from his own. Rather, Mr. C discredits and discards those people who contradict him along with the ideas that they represent.

Mr. C's propositions may not be traditional for a picayunish nymphomaniac, but Mr. C says that he is omnipotent. What balderdash! What impudence! What treachery! Careerism is not merely an attack on our moral fiber. It is also a politically motivated attack on knowledge. All in all, I realize that this post has seemed incredibly bleak. However, expecting the worst from Mr. C means we will never be disappointed. If we're wrong and he does not try to combine the most sordid avarice with the most invincible hatred of the very people who tolerate and enrich him, we'll be relieved. If we're right and he does, we'll be prepared.

Well I used words in my last post, which really doesn't constitute a proper bewindling.
Here's a little photo of Mr C, or at least I suspect it is:

I am so diggin' it. It's like Mr. C is a bewindtard.

I'm not understanding this. Fun is fun and we are all at times the punch line of joke. Basil I think it's time you took your turn. The only time you ever chime in anymore is when someone is on the gallows. Everyone take a look at one of Basil's first posts.

" Best time to buy?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There may be too many variables involved to answer this very well, but I thought I'd make a stab at getting some opinions here.

Is there an optimum time to buy a particular brand or line?

I'd think that some level of (standardized?) quality control across the industry would see cigars reach a retailer in good condition, but there seem to be many other things that can affect that condition.

Taking into account that tobaccos for premium cigars are often (always?) aged, even so, do factors like company/producer policy, growing season, production year, etc., influence when/if a cigar will be released to retailers at its peak quality for smoking or for a wait in a consumer's humidor?

Restated, supply and demand notwithstanding (if you can find 'em, buy 'em. or not.), are there brands/lines out there you have noticed that are better when acquired at a particular time?

Where the hell did you learn to search? Some of these questions are weak at best. This ball bustin shit has ruffled my feathers and IMO this community could be (is) losing some good members because of shit like this. We all have to start somewhere and everyone deserves a little time to learn the ropes and not be lynched on their first mistake.

Can't say that I could disagree more with you DeeDub, but I respect your right to your opinion and consider you a friend. It is not an opinion that isn't expressed from time to time by one member or another, for one reason or another. Why are you choosing this thread to call basil out?

I must be missing something in this case, since I could have sworn I saw you posting in this thread earlier, which would lead me to ask why you would do such a thing if it is so objectionable to you.

The "losing good members" line is, tiresome. Just who are these good, solid, contributing members that we are losing?

I haven't noticed any myself, but what I have noticed is an influx of new members, jumping into all activities of the board like they have been here forever....ramping up post counts to participate in PIF's, wanting in splits, trades, etc.....and, quite frankly I think we have been quite goddamn relaxed about it. Some of the comments made lately would have gotten much worse in days gone by.

I love ya Deebubya and I do respect your say here on the board but I totally agree with ashauler on this one. I think Basil is getting shit all over in another thread as we speak by a hand full of New members. Real nice....also in 8-2005 I wonder what was the norm here? Just my two cents.

I wouldn't expect you to agree with me because it was to your post that Basil replyed.

Nope, I joined in on "bewindled" part (funny) not bashing Mr. C.

The "losing good members" line is, tiresome. Just who are these good, solid, contributing members that we are losing?

My point exactly, how would we ever know?

I agree with part of this. The activity on this board is extremely limited compared to some. Some of my favorite automotive boards may have 20 moderators. But, they don't have the interactions like CS, only chat. The part I agree with is that a modest level of accountability should (must) be maintained. How can you know until someone is given a chance to participate? I've taken this chance on this board and have been screwed twice. One was your Pryme exchange. Not your fault though, you followed through most respectfully. I enjoy the board and all the members.
I don't know, something about how Basil said: I am so diggin' it. It's like Mr. C is a bewindtard.
Basil doesn't know this person and neither do I. So that's why I called Basil out.
