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....

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.
