However, to those of you who want to slam me because i am new you can kiss my white ass.

Yep not the direction you wanted to go man. I tried.

Oh and about ggiese, I checked some posts and he really has only responded in two of your threads so I'm confused as to what you are talking about.

DareDog4,

Well it looks like you step on your dick but it looks like you might recover. Your apology was a good step.

The 100 post rule is to help safeguard the community. Some people are scammers and would just sign up for the cigars and then run. This gives us a chance to get to know you.

Now we have a few other things to do were all you need to do is not be an asshat. The following are ran by trusted members.

Check out the the newbie sampler. This is a great way to trade or buy some great cigars. This lets us see how well you communicate. How well you follow through. Also if your doing the trade how well you ship and how you keep your cigars.

Check out the Draft. Once again a great way to get involved. This lets us see how well you communicate. How well you follow through. How you care for your cigars and if you know how to ship.

CigarSmokers Box Split.Once again a great way to get involved. This lets us see how well you communicate. How well you follow through.

The three ways above keep the community safe and gives everyone a chance to see you in action. Think about it. How much do you spend on cigars? How much work do you have to do to make that money. Don't you want to be a part of a community that's watches out for everyone? We don't have a clean slate policy. If you screw up someplace else your done here. Doesn't even have to be cigars related. Doesn't matter if your a newbie or old timer. If you screw up, (depending on what happen) you need to make it right. Could be an apology, replacing missing or damage cigars, communicating better or following though, or a mixture of a few.

The best cigar sites are those that the community has a stake invested in it. Where you see the good, bad, and ugly(ashauler ).

Ooohh... I like this guy Dreadog!!

This means I can come to your farm, seek employment without demonstrating any previous practical experience, do the work the way I want to do it (because, after all, it's "new" ideas and you should be open to all of them) and tell you to buzz off if you don't like it?

I'm on my way!!! And I expect to be compensated six figures!!!



Chill out - get with the program - earn your place here. Don't think that because you clicked the "submit" button with your registration that you were entitled to anything more than just being a member. Remember - there was no "member with privileges" option...

Yep, I am one ugly s.o.b.........and a particularly smart-assed, ugly, s.o.b.

I can't figure out if you are calling me ugly, or shooting me a pre-emptive bird 'cuz you figured I'd have a smart-ass comment for you.

Bastidge!! I won't be able to take my afternoon nap now.

Just throwing this out there again. You should definitely have stuck to your word and just stopped posting in here man. We don't lock threads or delete threads here so it was inevitable that one of the guys that hadn't weighed in yet would come, read and do so. You should have just read those comments and STFU. You could have also just come back and said yep you guys are right I did put my foot in my mouth in this thread and I am sorry but you chose to come in and offer your opinions on what this forum needed to change to be better, I believe I told you that was a bad plan. Well Like I said in my quote, I tried so my hands are clean.
