    I’ve given this response more thought then I originally intended, but that is because I read CC’s last few posts here and really tired to see it from his side and why he interjected the way he did. I guess with this being a member moderated board, everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. CC from the last couple of posts you answered my initial question. Look, if I miss treated Big Smoke, I’d like to hear it from him. Like I said earlier, I’d be happy to apologize if he feels it necessary. Lecturing was not my intent regardless of how one reads my post. My issue with CC was ‘If it doesn’t offend him, why should it offend you?’ This has become a bigger issue then it should be. I am not going to have this be an anchor for me and want to move on from this. I stopped caring about Big Smoke’s joke right after post #13. As far as I can tell with Big Smoke, he has no issue with me. That leaves CC…

    Is the kind of advice a "Trend Setting Life Coach" has to offer? In that case - you're gonna starve....

    I am cool with all of you. I appreciate buddy sticking up for me. That was cool too. But let's all move on. We have the cigar interests in common. we should focus on that and not our differences. There are enough problems in the world, we do not need to fight on cigar forums as well.

    I don't want to take sides in this thing here, though I have my personal opinions.

    There seems to be a great deal of debate about who is more intelligent and so forth.
    I would contend from what I have seen, that there are a few smart people and some rather unintelligent ones on these boards.

    But the bigger question is, who has the maturity to restrain himself and not jump into a fight?
    Also, who is man enough to just drop it? I have greater admiration for the man who can avoid a fight, rather than the one who can cuss his way into a perceived victory.

    I know it is somewhat hypocritical and against the nature of this post to post at all, but come on guys. We don't all have to agree, but can we all grow up a little?
    When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
    When sorrows like sea billows roll;
    Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
    It is well, it is well, with my soul.
