Wow! Sorry. I was paying attention to rule #3.

Maybe you should pay attention to #1 and lighten up a little on the new guy... Note smiley face from last post.

Enjoy!

Maybe you should step out of the hole you're digging for yourself before it's too deep.

I'm already gone. Didn't realize this was just a clique for bullies. I'll head back to the friendlier forums. See ya.

Did I just hear a balloon pop?

Why you gotta be such a bully Will? All the poor guy wanted was some cigars, and now look what you've done - he's gone, and likely won't ever come back. Dangit, just dangit.

Stop bullying, you dang bullies!

Oh! I just remembered something. I went to a job site a couple months ago at a school and saw a sign that made me laugh, and so I took a picture of it... now let me see if I can find it...

Ah, here it is:



Notice that the sign says "No Bullying" - but then it has the cross through it, so I think it is meant to promote bullying. Probably to try and toughen the pansy kids up so they don't grow up to be adult pansies.

Is it pansies, or pansy's?

Ben, it's because you are totally green. We don't know you, you haven't been around long enough to gauge you, and no one is sure if you are what you say you are.
Post some, read and learn, and do the Newbie Sampler. As we get to know you, you will be more than willing to participate in these sort of things.
We get a lot of green people who want to participate in things, we see them once, and then never see them again.
The people around here can/will/do rip on ya...it comes with the territory. Give yourself some time around, do some trading, and let us get to know you.

That's just my two cents worth, and though two cents don't mean much, and I don't speak for the community as a whole (just as someone who has been around it for a bit), a couple of posts, some time, some trades, and a generally good disposition will get you treated like one of the regulars. And don't worry- everyone gets called a douchenozzle sooner or later! I honestly think it's a sign of affection really.
Relax, get to know us, don't take things personally unless it's done in a fashion that is designed to prove to you beyond any shadow of a doubt that it was personal.

Other than that, light up a smoke and smile man.

Who got called a douchenozzle, and why wasn't I alerted?

With the treatment of newbies I've seen here, I'm not surprised you see so few of them ever again, although I appreciate the first coherent response.

I only posted because the rules of this thread SPECIFICALLY said that you accept newbies, and that being an asshat was prohibited. So I reach out to make an offer, and I'm shot down and then insulted.

Yes, I'm new, but as a newbie, I've read and posted on quite a few forums over the past little while, including Puff, CA, CG, and others, and this is the first time I've ever been treated like this. I've often seen on other, non-cigar forums how older users can create their own little fiefdoms to lord over, but this is the first time I've experienced it first hand on a Cigar-related message board.

This can be the final post on the subject, unless you won't feel satisfied without having the last word. I don't want to ruin your fun.
