Ticker's intro thread

**Ticker** · 05-17-2009, 03:59 PM

I'm not looking for a fight or anything like that. I came here to talk with others about cigars. I really don't think you are being respectful starting a thread like this. If you think otherwise thats ok, you are entitled to your opinion as well.

If it makes you happy: You are 100% and I am way out of line. I don't care anymore and don't want to drag this on any longer. Lets get passed this so we can get along and talk about cigar related topics. I look forward to learning from yourself and others who have much more knowledge and wisdom than I do in the cigar realm.

Well, I tried.

Ticker, that was exactly the wrong thing to post.

Thanks for your efforts, I guess I'm doomed.

My intro thread is now up.

All that when, "I was out of line, sorry." was all that was called for. Classic and often repeated mistake.

Oh, and is the post about a humidor your introduction? Ya know, the one in the accessories forum.

It may be, no wait, for sure would be, a good idea for you to heed the previously given advice to "read more / post less".

Basil I think I know what Ticker's intro problem was. I am going to throw out a guess that he tried to post it before he was verified as a member and that is what he was told had to be done and he just misunderstood.

Anyway yea Ticker post an intro but then just stfu for a few minutes. You're new obviously and are supposedly here to learn something. What happens do you suppose when a person that is supposed to be learning bridge building starts offering advice on bridge building? Do you want to drive across the bridge that advice helps create. What I am saying is you never learn if you constantly talk. Slow down and absorb a bit.

Yes it had to be verified first and it is now up.

I was told to stfu on my 2nd or 3rd post for welcoming another new member like myself. My subsequent posts have been dealing with this whole pointless ordeal.

So, now you're just being picked on. Classic "poor me, you guys are so mean.

Next.

And your response to that was basically a "yea? well go fuck yourself." Maybe it should have been, "whoa, wait a second did I do something wrong? I was trying to welcome a new member to the board but if I have had some type of screw up let me know. I really don't want to piss anybody off."

I'm not saying that you did anything incorrectly by welcoming someone to the forum however to responding to a senior member with immediate defensiveness and aggression is not the correct way to handle a misunderstanding. Maybe basil was wrong and I'm sure if he was he will say so. If you're in a bar and run into someone they might get a little hot at first but if you respond with a "go fuck yourself dickface" attitude don't be surprised if you get punched. Instead a "hey man sorry about that, let me buy you a drink." is probably the better answer.

Hello, Mr. Obvious? Long time listener, first time caller.

LMAO .... OMG, I'm sorry I had to laugh at that one. It reminded me of Tom Leykis, and the Bob and Tom Show.

Well, its been a short stay. I'm sure some of you will be glad to hear I will be leaving this forum as I've found one with people who are much more level headed and mature than the few (I can only speak for the ones I've run into) here. No hard feelings but I know I wasn't in the wrong but trying to explain myself is like talking to deff ears as its obvious no one will give the time of day to a new member here which is too bad.

Take care everyone and remember to lighten up

Probably for the best. Try not to stick your foot in your mouth at your new site.

**Shelby07** · 05-18-2009, 11:29 AM

Hell... No wonder we never get any new members here.

**bigwhiteash** · 05-18-2009, 11:52 AM

As thin as your skin is, you're probably not cut out for cigar forums. At least not the good ones. You may fit in over at puff.com.

This was undoubtedly one of the mildest confrontations I have seen someone leave over.

I think we have been adding some quality members over the last few months. If guys like this choose not to belong here, fine by me.

Geez... That's too bad. You come in - back slap and high five - and then get all butt hurt when someone smacks your butt. Sorry it wasn't wine and roses like you would have expected.

Oh well - you had my curiosity up about your social ignorance and whether or not you would be bright enough to extricate yourself from your precarious position. Now we all know what you're truly made of!!!

You seriously oughta rethink your approach strategy. In this instance, at least, it did not work well. Perhaps if you would have presented yourself in a like manner at the Mother Theresa blog site, it might have worked more in your favor...

Mark, my bad, please accept my apology.

Hey Ticker.....thought you were leaving.

I've simply found another community that has been a little more active and helpful in my experience. I don't plan on jumping back and forth between the two. Anyways, I'm out! Take care everyone, even you Basil

.

On another note, I've just ordered a 5 Vegas variety sampler online so I'm anxiously waiting to try them out for the first time. Enjoy your summer and cigars everyone,

By the way you need to ask permission to use the

....:) and before you begin wrapping cigars in smoked meat and get all spiffy on your self I think you need to let us know who you really are? I just think your putting us on to some extent.
