I am not saying there is no good information here, the reviews are excellent (that's how I found this community), but there is a lot of unhelpful responses that do nothing for the IPO (including this one).
Also, if you can't take what you dish out...then go about it.
I actually lurked on several cigar forums before I decided this was the one I wanted to be involved with. They all seem to be fairly tough on newbers that try to forcibly insert themselves in the community. Especially when they haven't taken the time to learn anything about it. So far I have found this place to be a great bunch of dudes (and at least one great lady that I am aware of). You just need to gear down a little, take your time, and understand the "culture" of this board before you just throw yourself out there as you have.

Or you can keep doing what you are doing and continue catching the shit you are catching.

Or you can just go away.
