What do I do? TNT sent me the wrong (but more valuable) box

Wow - what an upstanding guy. He'd never take advantage of a vendor's mistake and goes on to call me a "scumbag" for not reporting what is essentially a $20 difference in merchandise. It's surprising, however, that he's such a staunch advocate of vendors and how they should never be taken advantage of, because as of four months ago, his position on the matter seemed somewhat different.

Now, I'm not judging Drew for doing a little happy dance for getting his cigars at half price. He has every right to be pleased with himself for saving $160 off of Famous's error. But it does seem like having posted that, he might not be quite so eager to pull out terms like "scumbag." It would seem that he doesn't hold himself to quite the same standard he holds others to. Hypocrite is a nasty word, so I wouldn't want to pull that out. Instead, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he just got carried away with the piling on (looking through his posts, I find a lot of that).

Sorry Drew. Didn't mean to single you out. Just making a point. Someone once said something about not casting the first stone. I find it's good advice.

Wow, you dug up an old post. However, if you knew what you were talking about, we called famous, and offered to pay the difference. They however are an upstanding vendor, said that it was their mistake, and said that they would honor the price.

Try again dumbshit.

So what is it...20 dollar difference, 100 dollar difference or 50 dollar difference? You are not helping your situation scumbag.

Oh, and you know what I did with that fiver I got? I gifted 3 of them to various BOTL leaving me with 2.

Yes yes, you good, me bad. I got it. Seems to be the general theme of a lot of your posts.

I have just one question. Does the halo ever start to get heavy?

To asshats, yes. For some reason I sense that your time here is limited...

You're right about that. This is my final post here. I read a few cigar boards, and this is by far the most intolerant. I've met quite a few great people here and will stay in touch with a few. But there's a rather rabid gang of "old-timers" who are so big on themselves that they just drive away a lot of good folks. It is, no doubt, one of the big reasons the membership here is smaller than a lot of the cigar boards.

Thanks to those who have talked cigars with me over the past month or two. Was a pleasure. Unfortunatly, I'm just a bad seed who doesn't fit in with the more angelic elements here. There are other boards, and this one just ain't worth it.

Funny part is, I knew it early on, watching the piling on that was going on in several threads (that had nothing to do with me). Personally, I find that to be a coward's mentality, but to each his own.

Feel free to bash away now - let the ego masturbation commense. Because nothing makes you a man more than taking shots at someone whose back is turned.

Sounds good to me. There is always room at BananaLand.

If using my real name for my username and openly posting my address makes me a coward, what does that make you?

You are correct by stating that you don't fit in here. Heck, cheating thieving scumbags don't ever belong here. Don't think that you are special, because in a month you will be no more than a distant memory.

It really never ceases to amaze me when people like you show up and think that the "old timers are big on themselves and drive away good folks". In your case - the drive is a very short put - and "good" is very questionable. Of course - people like you do provide hours of good clean entertainment!!!

What's pretty ironic about your statement, acey-doosey, strange as it may sound; While you may think you can't get along here, the reality is you will be facing the same questions of honesty and integrity elsewhere. There are those boards that don't give a crap about that - and you'll get along just fine. So - maybe it truly is time for you to move on...

I can verify that, I believe it was written down so you can go back through the thread and find it. Ace, you are showing your true colors underfire. I reading through the first two pages you come across as an shameless asshole. I was going to quote you to prove my point, but between the others and you getting backed into a corner over this I think it is a waste of time or will fall on deaf ears.

But then again....remember this one shag?

(People like to think Shag "created" this photo but the word on the street says otherwise)

Allright people - this is about acey-doosey - not me being a wino, tart, harlot - or whatever else you wish to label me as. Pictures or no pictures - I is what I is...

Now - would you please direct your namecalling and silly remarks to the REAL asshats...

Heh, that was great read. Silly n00bs.

Here's a great quote from Famous regarding the pricing issue:

We were overwhelmed with responses from people wanting to pay the full amount or make up our loss, It was amazing to see that there are so many honest people out there
