    You guys crack me up.

    Just an fyi, I am a self employed small business man, have been smoking fine cigars for well over a decade, have a fairly nice collection that could last me the rest of my life, am a senior member of several large, much more active online cigar communities as well as other hobby related sites. I have written many reviews, some of which have hundreds of thousands of views. I am familiar with the typical rules and regs for this type of forum, and I'm far too easy going to get myself banned.

    My post was intended for you guys to take a look at what you post and possibly be a little more open minded to the newer members, which in turn would draw more new members and make this place a little more active.

    For that I get called a douche bag, troll, stupid and other names.

    Nice, real nice.

    ...and yet you feel compelled to post garbage on this board under a pseudo name.

    You crack me up...

    You might want to consider that what works for you in your world, doesn't necessarily work well universally. You should perhaps consider packing it in if it doesn't suit your taste.

    By the way - you are a legend in your own mind. You can only hope the larger cigar community views you with the same respect you believe they do...

    have been smoking fine cigars for well over a decade, I have been smoking fine cigars regularly since 1989 ,as a hobby since 1984

    have a fairly nice collection that could last me the rest of my life I have an outstanding collection that I share with the other members regularly

    am a senior member of several large, much more active online cigar communities as well as other hobby related sites. I am member #2 here yet I carry no special powers here

    I have written many reviews, some of which have hundreds of thousands of views.reviews are like assholes . I rely on the opinions I form of cigars and on the opinions of other members here. Not some "professional "

    I am familiar with the typical rules and regs for this type of forum, I highly doubt that

    and I'm far too easy going to get myself banned. We will start a contest on when you will implode so spectacuraly they the result wil be a tiny quantum singularity



    For that I get called a douche bag, troll, stupid and other names. we treat all fucktards equally


    Nice, real nice. you haven't began to see "nice"

    I'm really surprised hog is not helping our new friend demarcation with business advice. Here's the perfect opportunity! After all - hog's a self professed "successful small business owner" and may be able to lend some good advice to a new member looking for help with setting up his currently small business...

    But I suspect hog doesn't much care about such things and is more intent on being a thorn...

    Why are you a legend in your own mind, hog? One can teach you manners, but there's no guarantee you'll learn manners - it requires uptake on the receiving end. And you're too dense to understand the overall membership of at least one of the communities you believe yourself to be a "respected member" doesn't likewise share your perception.

    Make no mistake, and likely what you've not received on the uptake.... This is a democracy - matters involving discipline are a community action rather than being in the hands of a couple of moderators. No one regularly participating is looking for a mega cigar community, full of scammers and clowns. This community does it's best to help members correct their social ineptness, but is very intolerant of anyone being destructive. You might disagree, but the system works very well and has been around quite a bit longer than you've been participaing.

    Take it for what it's worth - you either "get it" or you don't - chastising the community for your personal perceptions and observations of what you believe to be uncaring attitudes can be destructive to the community you believe you're "saving". Particularly when you're not of a mind to otherwise help the community with valid contributions.

    I am a new member and have not been ran off yet. I do not have thin skin. I understand you sometimes have to read more that you post. Hopefully soon I can become a fine contributing member here and on other forums on the subject of cigars and cigar accessories. Thank you to all those here who have sent me messages and helped me understand better this great life of cigar smoking. I have made some great friends here that I truly consider BOTL's.

    Hey hog - I see you've come and gone several times since you've last posted and no doubt read this thread. Have we made our point to the degree it's time to move on? ...Or are you receptive to the concept of how this board works and the cats got your tongue? Inquiring minds want to know...
