Oh man I love these kinds of posts, and you've touched all the bases .....
The "If I don't get what I want, go fuck yourself" post.
The "I'm too good for an intro because I'm on other boards" post.
The "Hurry up and sell me your cigars" post.
The "I don't have time for your board but I'm here anyways" post.
The "I collect cigars" post. This is the one I really like because if you're collecting you're not smoking and obviously are doing it WRONG.
And the coup de grāce .... the "I'm not being treated nice here, Mommy" post.
I would think that being on other cigar boards you know how this works and aren't going out of your way to be a dumbass newb .... you know like post an intro, ask if anyone knows where you can get "X" cigar or offer to buy and send your part first, don't act you're God's gift to cigar smoking, and then bitch about how you're being treated.
Hell, I didn't do a trade until I was over 200 posts on here, simply out of respect to the other members. You're maybe a dozen posts in and bitching already. Amazing.
If you think this is rough, you should probably leave now before someone really lets the fire and brimstone rain down on you.
Or you can just grow a pair, man up, hit rewind and try it again the right way.
Oh, pppuuuuhhhhllllleeeeease Kris - Tony ain't got time for the "warm and fuzzy" part of being on a cigar board. Just send him his damned cigars and be done with it....
Geezzzzz.....
Personally - I like this kind of guy. You know where you stand and there ain't no airs about it! I just sincerely hope that whomever he says has filled part of his "wish list" extended the same courtesy with pricing Tony's shown our board. And I'm also hoping someone unloaded ...errr.. sold those Original Release Anejo's I've heard have been floating around. Them's good!!!
Tony - I hope you don't mind - but if things go south with your trade I'm thinking our membership might not be overly inclined to advocate on your behalf. You understand - don't you - that "warm/fuzzy" thing and all...?
BTW, Tony - how's things over at CigarFamily? Last I heard things were a bit up in the air... I used to love to send "customers" (buying/selling) over there on Friday afternoons when the members wallets were full.

As tempting as it may seem, I'm staying out of this one !
Been down this road. I's very bumpy and I don't like it.

Thank goodness... I was worried after I posted about the shift key thing - in retrospect, my comments seemed awfully condescending. It's hard to tell on the Internet if you have an expensive computer with a functionining shift key, or you possess one of those cheap knockoffs that don't. I thought maybe I insulted you with my comments -
this may be the first worthwhile thing i've heard anybody (including me) say so far. you're exactly right, you'll know exactly where you stand. i'm always honest, if i like you, i'll tell you, and if i dont like you or something you do, you'll know that too.
i expect the trade to go fine, it's between 2 guys that like collecting and smoking good cigars. i dont think you're bad guys. i'm sure you're fine traders.

I work in IT. I think it's fair to say i have many-a computer, and that for me typing goes faster when it's for substance and not using extra keystrokes for capitalization. Plus, i'm in linux shells all day, where case-sensitivity matters, so avoiding the shift key is just normal for me.
