Update

[bigpoppapuff]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I bought the sarge's smokes today, 9/12/05 and hope to have them mailed by this afternoon when I get out of class. I just want to let everyone know that I SEVERELY fucked up, I guess everyone knows that already, but it was just an honest mistake. I would never hose anyone to get free smokes, that's just stupid. I hope you all know that I am extremely appreciative of cigarsarge's generousity, and that I hope we can all move along once this is behind us. I know I have probably made a few enemies on here, most of which have never spoken to me, but I believe the people that have spoken to me on here know that I'm a pretty good guy. I just fell on some hard luck, and it bit me in the ass. Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone know that Ken's smokes are on the way. Thanks guys.

I'm not going to argue with you, I know she was there, and if you want, I'll send the bill to you instead of the insurance company. I'm sure if it hit you in the wallet you'd know she was there.

how about putting all the bullshit aside and send the cigars....

[reaganyouth84]

Like I said, before you decided to go on a rampage, the cigars are going out tomorrow.

but wait...there's more to the story...you'll send ME the bill...which is to say that she doesn't have insurance.....you know,you probably could have missed class today to spend time at the hospital....

[reaganyouth84]

I was at the hospital with her, we have insurance, I just said I would send you the bill so you'd believe she was there. Look man, I'm sorry for starting the flame thread with you. I don't have a problem with you, I just took offense to the comments about my mom. Sorry man, I've just had a stressful day.

I didn't catch the initial thread.

Yet Sarge seems to be on the forgiving side, having a "wait and see" type stand.

RY may be a POS but I still think we should let Sarge determine that.

Just goes to show you, never deal with strangers.

Hey George, wanna trade?

I, for one, think it took some real balls for RY to post an update.

He was involved in a deal that went south for whatever reason and he was faced with the decision to walk away with 5 free smokes or come through on his end of the deal. And, given that he was catching hell from most everyone on this site (rightfully so), it's REAL easy to give everyone the finger and walk away.

As a noob, I kind of see where he's coming from, too. If I was involved in a trade with a more experienced smoker, I'd certainly wait to see what he sent me before picking out something to send back. It would really suck to receive a Cohiba, a Hemingway Signature, a Monty White, a Padron 1964, and in Opus X if you sent out a couple Rolys, a couple 8-5-8s and an Acid Nasty.

And, hey, I was a student once, too... I had to decide between cigarettes and milk at the checkout line, too. (cigarettes won)

But actions talk, so I guess we'll see if Sarge gets his smokes...

Clearly you do not understand the trade thing. If you and I do a trade, unless we agree on the terms of the trade and we leave it open for whatever. If you wait to get it so you can match it, what's the sense of doing a trade? After all - you could buy most of what I send you at the store.

Most of the FOGS that I know are some of the most generous people you'll meet - including CigarSarge. Many times I do a trade to make sure my fellow BOTL gets what he wants, knowing full well they cannot compensate me for what I send at the moment. I expect you to do two things in return - be a stand up BOTL (respect those you trade with) and pay-it-forward (if I wowed you with what I send, when you can - wow the newbie who's starting out).

I've been the recipient of the generosity of a number of BOTL's - which has provided me with cigars I'd never even dream of trying. The stuff I send out sometimes is repayment of those past kindnesses.

Take a lesson from one who is beaten up for the way he conducts himself with trades - Moochie the Clown (aka PuroBrat). If you haven't got something to trade - don't do trades. Don't mooch cigars off of others unless you fully intend on paying it back or paying it forward. If you make a mistake, fix it - make up for it - don't be afraid to overdo it a bit. MAKE IT RIGHT!!! The way you act in these trades is a reflection of your character.
