Hex - I for one would love to honor this request. But, as Hugh just pointed out a moment ago, CNB has already show the propensity to begin assinine arguments, which will certainly lead to a "heated" discussion. How are we supposed to keep that in the Politics section. This was what I was trying to get to in my open post to you in "What's a brother to do...".

Please - if it gets to the point where it's not to your liking, I have no problem whatsover having the whole thread moved to politics. But, it's going to be difficuly to tip-toe around if CNB is going to be baiting, like he (and Scotty) are doing...

I didn't bait anyone in the beginnig. I stated my opinion about what was going on between the group that hates Scotty and Scotty. CC baited me, I remained calm, then he posted several of his typical jump all over your ass, profane, childish posts. So I am the baiter? Your bias is showing. You may like CC fine but I did not bait him, he started flaming away at me.

WOW!!! Your perception of reality and reality itself are two very different things!!! Go back and look at the thread. You didn't "remain calm" but rather started gettin' kinda nasty then when I asked you to elaborate of this post of yours:

Nice and respectable. Who is keeping members off the boards?

You pulled a Scotty and refused to answer.
If I upset you prior to that, then I apologize for offending you, I did not mean to.

Well, my friend... Then you had better be VERY careful about what you say, and how yoy say it. Because I can see where, in the past, you have already jumped into situations with your opinion and you feel your opinion is more important that anyone elses. You believe you should not be challenged... A very Scotty like move... This could be VERY bad....

My bias is for what I feel is right. And I will post my opinion of what I think. If I think CC is wrong, he'll know it. And if I feel you are wrong - you'll know it to. I can tell you this much - if I tell CC he's wrong, I'll back it up with clear reasoning. We may even bicker. But - he will respect what I say, and I will respect what he says. And if in the end I'm wrong - I'll accept it and bow out. And I'll also STFU when I shouldn't be involved.

You, sir, have very little history. I, and everyone else on this board for that matter, don't know what you're about. You obviously want to interject your opinion where you probably shouldn't, (seeing as how you seem to think SFG75 is some kind of martyr) and you are accusing CC and others of starting flame wars all over the place. Clearly, you don't have any clue about what you are saying. Yes - there have been heated discussions - yes, there has been some "calling out" (I believe you call it "baiting"). But you should have watched from the side lines while the argument went on. Post your cigar reviews, answer other members questions or make comments, but stay out of the areas for which you are not qualified or prepared to answer. And that includes involvement in the whole SFG fiasco.

As an example - you clearly showed your inexperience with Hugh over the flavored cigar posts. You admitted you only relied on the little bit of information you got from the guys at the cigar shop. That is not YOUR position - it is the position of what you HEARD others say - that's, my friend, is called HEARSAY in the legal circles - it's not admissible in court because it's such a WEAK position to be in...

You're new here. You have no history here. All that anyone can do to judge you is to read what you write NOW. You are not very respected now because you have not established yourself as very respecable yet, even though you'd like to think so. Get over it - it's the way things work in life....

And why suggest I was lying c-no baka? Do you think I am "flaming" you?

I am trying to give you some constructive criticism based on my first interaction with you , but your pride seems to be getting in the way here.

Take note, after your immature refusal to discuss the concept of "marrying" of cigars, I helped you out on a different thread with my personal experience with Colibri lighters, suggested another brand and offered you 3 fantastic sources for those lighters at great prices. Those sources are places I researched, have ordered from and had positive experiences with.

That "experience" has value, and I was happy to share with you that knowledge.

Based on your unwillingness / inability to have a healthy discussion, I can't say that the next time you need a little help here, that I will be as willing to offer you a helping hand.

He isn't the only one with "experience" and part of a board that is self-moderated is to take some feedback, no matter how critical. Amazing how certain people are suspect, but others have no fault.

When will my winnings be sent out to OpFTH scotty? I would like to have this resolved as soon as possible. I believe a package for mithril is in order as well.

Hugh, I just wasn't interested in discussing that subject anymore, so why do you construe that as immature refusal? My ego isn't big enough that I take umbrage at someone who disagrees with me on a subject like whether cigars marry flavors or not. I do appreciate your feedback and help. I can have healthy discussions, and have had many. Look at the past six weeks. One argument with CC and suddenly I am the problem???

First, I observed for two months before I said anything about the Scotty war.

Second, I don't like pointless arguing. If I state my opinion, I'm fine with replying once or twice to questions. But i refuse to get into a "FU your're wrong/no FU you're wrong" war.

Third, I tend to judge people by the overall content of their messages. You I have some respect for because you post about things other than flaming Scotty. And you clearly explain your positions. CC baits, flames, uses profanity and relies on nothing more than bluster and the volume of his argument, not the content.

Fourth, i am new here, but not that new. I read for a month, then started posting, have been here almost three months by now.

Fifth, the content of this board seems to be thin. It mostly consists of petty bickering and arguing.

the content was good a month ago but this war has consumed the forum. i am sticking around hoping that it gets resolved soon, i.e. the right people leave.

Actually, the content was seeing a nice upsurge until you dropped yer britches and decided to proclaim yourself the owner of the biggest e-peen and continue telling everyone you were not going to post anymore, time and time again. You have proven your word means nothing. The more you egg it on the worse it gets.

Doing the best we can Hex! Sometimes when the flood gates open, we get a little leakage elsewhere. Thanks for being our emergency mop man.

[ggiese]

I think Hex is worried about this fight going all over the board...

Yeah, I wonder why he'd worry about something like that?

The board pariah returns..
