[bigpoppapuff]

it seems to be over...except bill isn't done yet....

it seems to be over...except bill isn't done yet....

You think it's over, Sid? Why - because you SAY it's over?

Yep - you da man, Sid - you da man!!!

Should I shut up now - so you don't start a ban poll for me? What - you skeered, Sid?? C'mon - you know you wanna...

[ggiese]

Interesting that we have a number of members that aren't voting in this - the ones who really matter most to this board.

What's the message in that?

[SmokinDVM]

If you really want to see who causes the biggest problems on CS, you only have to read back through this ban poll thread and ask yourself a couple of questions...

Who really asked for the ban poll? Gee, that's a tough one.

Who just can't seem to let this all go? Again, a real toughy. (hint; answer relates to the first question)

What two bm's (that's board members, don't get yer panties all bunched ) were only able to recruit one other bm to vote with them, and who was it? Jeez, the questions just keep getting tougher and tougher.

What do you think the message is in that?

"Several" members asked for the ban poll Barry, don't lie like you usually do.

George and I didn't "recruit" or try and influence anyone via phone calls, emails or PMs to vote in this ban poll. I would bet the same thing can't be said about you and Sid but no one cares anyway.

You two continue to show the audience assembled how infantile and immature the both of you are which shocks me.

George made a very interesting point:

Whether you like it or not Barry, there is indeed a "message" there.

[SmokinDVM]

I simply asked a question, but you really are suspiciously defensive.

How much? Got any proof, or are you just speculating as usual?

You two continue to show the audience assembled how infantile and immature the both of you are which shocks me.

Do you really think people can't see you for what you really are?

George made a very interesting point:

There is indeed a message there. Possibly that they weren't interested in helping you with your little hissy fit. Face it...16, 2, 1...not even close. It's time to stop whining now.

And btw, that avatar was up for less than 24hrs. Stop exaggerating like some drama queen, you're boring all of us.

[CoventryCat86]

I simply asked a question, but you really are suspiciously defensive.

And I provided you with the obvious answer, "several." How is that being "suspiciously defensive?"

And btw, that avatar was up for less than 24hrs. Stop exaggerating like some drama queen, you're boring all of us.

What am I "exaggerating" about? Shelby said you toned it down, I stated the truth which is that you posted an avatar of a kitten with a gun to his head with the words "die" which clearly refutes his claim that you had "toned it down." On the contrary, this supports my claim that you had NOT "toned it down" but had actually done exactly the opposite by posting that avatar AFTER shelby claims you "toned it down." The fact that is was "up for less than 24 hrs" is irrelevant Barry. The fact that you put up such an avatar like that for any length of time yesterday is proof positive that you DID NOT "tone it down" as Shelby wrongly stated you did.

There is absolutely no need for your "drama queen" comment or your snide "you're boring all of us" comment as you certainlly don't speak for "all of us" here Barry, far from it.

It's quite obvious you don't like it when I post the truth in a calm and respectful manner especially when I catch one of your "boys" (shelby) in a lie.

[SmokinDVM]

"Several" members asked for the ban poll Barry, don't lie like you usually do.

By calling me a liar, you are inferring that you know the exact number of ban requestees. If you don't know, why are you acting like you do, by calling me a liar?

You don't really have to answer that, I already know why.

[CoventryCat86]

I called you a "liar" because you inferred that I requested the ban poll and you have no way of knowing that. You can speculate all you want but you have no idea and probably never will.

I'm sorry I called you a "liar" but let's face it Barry, you implied that it was me and only me that requested that hex start a ban poll when all you have to do is read his first post in this thread when he used the word "several."

And no, I have no idea how many people requested that a ban poll be started on you but it's obvious that it was more than one person because hex used the word "several."

So just in case you missed it allow me to sumarize:

"several" people requested a ban poll be started on you
I may or may not have been one of those "several"
I do not know the exact number, hex said "several" which if you look in the dictionary means more than one.

If you want to keep whining, can you at least move on to something else or just shut your mouth before shelby starts whining about you refusing to "drop it?"

George, what does this say about the 19 people who did vote (and remember you cast your ballot too)?
The guys who pointed out that they would refrain from voting (K7, NH, Lopaka) are all great guys who have my respect. I know they aren't the only ones who abstained from voting but they stated publicly why they weren't. My favorite reason is from K7, "I didnt vote just to show I dont give a fuck about this whole bunch of shit."
Anyway, each one of the non-voters listed has made a point to treat me decently during my time here. However, I would never say that they are more or less valuable to this board than the guys that did vote: guys like Sarge, SLC, BPP, CgarDan, Roham, Newf, and Drew have been extremely generous and gracious brothers, not only to me but to a lot of other newb's who have came and stayed. And George, you were the first person on this board from whom I ever received a package. You've probably sent out enough packages that you forgot you even mailed one my way, but it made a lasting impression on me. It was the first lesson I had on how to be a BOTL.



I'm not for or against anybody at this point. What upsets me is I was under the impression that GG, CC, and BPP used to be pretty good friends. Hell, maybe they still are and they're PMing each other having a good laugh about this...I kinda hope so.
But regardless of who is or isn't friends anymore, can we please, for the love of Pete, bury this corpse? It's really putting out an awful stink.


Aw, fuck it. Maybe I should just follow K7's lead.


And I'd like to apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors above. Even an English teacher can fuck up.

[Shelby07]

Hefty, you are absolutely right. They are all great guys. This whole thread has been absurd. I was simply attempting to magnifying the absurdity. But I am beginning to wonder about Bill. I don't think I did anything but disagree with him. Yet because of that I am now a liar, an asswipe and one of Barry's boys.

Well, there's what you think and what you actually did which are two very different things. But of course you refuse to see it that way.

...sigh...

I think I'm gonna end this. In the words of the Borg...

Goodnight Gracie.

Ya know - you're absolutely correct. In my world - friends don't start trashing friends in public. But some just can't seem to resist for their own selfish reasons. Some apparently want to discard friendships that easily.

I don't so much mind because I like to know where my friends stand with me - that's why I've been with my wife for over 27 years - I always know where I stand with her, even in the heat of battle (she supports me when I need support - I support her when she needs support - and we both know when we're crossing lines and avoid doing it)

I've asked privately for what other members are asking for publically. Apparently some just don't give a damn what me or others think. It's interesting that some (and especially ONE) are interpreting what they're hearing as support for their cause. But - in reality - I don't read it that way - and I can't believe they (and that ONE) isn't.

But all in all - I know where I stand - and that's a good thing in my world...

Hey, Sid - you got that ban poll together yet?? I'm waiting....

[SmokinDVM]

They also don't instigate ban polls because they feel all butt-hurt over a percieved insult.

You've been married to CC for over 27 years? That is impressive. You forgot to reign each other in on this one though.

I think there are some here who have missed the point...You and CC. See, it isn't about support for me, as much as it is about not agreeing with you and cc's reasons for this whole fiasco. You and CC, joined arguments in the political forum that you knew full well could, and probably would, get heated. When they did, you cry foul, and start a ban poll.

Hey, Sid - you got that ban poll together yet?? I'm waiting....

Sid won't start a ban poll over lame ass shitlike this, unlike some people here.

[bigpoppapuff]

So just in case you missed it allow me to sumarize:

bill...fyi...YOU spelled something wrong here....correct it,please...and let your meltdown continue...it's priceless....

you're not making any friends with this.and you've lost me...as has george...i don't need turncoats in my life...

bill,you're looking like a real asshole here....and let me remind you 16-1-2!!!!...


plan your next cyber muscle-flexing....maybe it'll work at "snobs".......bwaahaaahaaahaa!!!

[Loudpipes78]

I'm not voting because I feel like I don't really have a place to say much since I'm a newb but I would like to say that I journeyed over to this board because it seemed really cool and drama free but then I bump into something like this and go WTF.

I didn't go back and re-read the whole thread in the Politics forum and have skimmed this one but damn people.... isn't this board suppose be about the smokes... not the BS.

I pulled up all of SmokinDVM's posts and the ones outside the Politics Forum make him look like an outstanding member that contributes to this board... yet he's on the ban block. When I first saw the thread title I honestly thought it was going to be a joke, guess I was wrong.

I am very glad to see it was a LANDSLIDE to keep him around.

IIRC there is an ignore list on this board, if you are one of the select few that has such a problem with him, maybe you should put the list to use, or if it's only in the political forum... avoid it. If you want to do neither of those and feel yourself getting incredibly heated about something... step away from the computer and quit being an internet warrior and go have a smoke... since that's what this board is all about.

I'm done now... just a newb's .02

Once again, you prove that you're nothing but a piece of shit.

"a percieved (sic) insult" LMAO, in Barry's world, he made no insults, I just "perceived" ONE of his comments to be an insult. WOW, are you THAT far out of touch with reality? The reality is Barry, that you've been rude, nasty, offensive and downright ugly in the "Political" forum pretty much since the day you got here.

"married to CC for over 27 years?" Oh you are such a funny piece of shit, aren't you?

Oh shelby, here's a clear example of your "boy" here not wanting to "let it go" and "throwing gasoline on a fire" with this latest post from him. I don't see you whining about Barry's continued shit yet you decide to step in and whine that I'm not "letting it go," etc., which leads me to conclude that you're just as much of an asshole as Barry is.

And once again Barry, it isn't about joining arguments in the political forum which in your mind, ANYTHING goes, you obviously feel it's more important to trash, insult and be rude and vulgar to your friends on a cigar board because of your extreme left wing political views. If you think pushing your extreme left wing agenda and your hate is more important than having fun on a cigar board, then I don't think you belong here.

Normal people don't act that way Barry and once again, I will repeat my strong belief that you should be banned from this community.

Barry - pure speculation on your part who started the ban poll. Pure speculation...

As long as we're speculating, I suggest to you that Sid and some others started this ban poll... Sound crazy? Not as crazy as it would seem...

By the way - I know full well my argument in ANY circle (other than your crazy world, Barry) would hold far more weight than yours if only for the fact that I do not show total disrespect for the others I'm arguing with. It's basic human nature...

How does it feel to win this huge coup, Barry and Sid? I betcha you're breaking out the champagne aren't you...

Hey Sid - as long as you're ordering up ban polls, you got that ban poll together for me yet???
