Was that really THAT hard to say? Damn, just think how much of our Friday and Saturday could have been saved if you had showed that smidgeon of humility 24 hours and 75 posts ago. My initial post after you called me a bitch was a simple warning not to "hiss" at me or I'd "scratch back." Despite the warning, you called my bluff that proved not to be a bluff, and you've been playing the victim ever since. Retracting the "bitch" comment last night around 9 p.m. could have spared you what so many here seem to believe have been the cruel, mean-spirited attacks of the vicious 5'4" college girl. As ham-handed and self-righteous as your apology may be, I think I better take what I can get out of you.
I didn't realize until your response to ggiese's post that THAT was your biggest issue.

I don't understand your statement where you claim I'm "playing the victim" and if you think you scored some points for yourself with this extended back and forth, I kinda don't think ya did. You and I have obvioulsy have a difference of opinion in that department but for cryin' out loud you attacks were cruel and mean-spirited and people can draw their own conclusions from your posts.

My advice to you would be that ya might be wise to just bite your tounge in the future rather than start some long, drawn out quest to try and put people in their places who are old enough to be your father and have forgotten more about cigars than you'll probably ever know. Ya don't do yourself any favors when you start viciously attacking the more senior and established members here or on any other type of on-line internet BB EVEN WHEN YOU'VE GOT A POINT. How 'bout this for ya, instead of pulling your "tough chick" line and issuing me a "warning" complete with the silly "hissing" crap, did ya ever think of saying "CoventryCat86, you were out of line with the 'bitch' comment and I think you should apologize." Now if I did ANYTHING other than apologize, you would have had the whole world on your side but no, you had to put on some big freakin' act trying to show us all how clever, smart, intellectual and superior you are

Yep, I have a slight advantage here over you in that I'm older than you, I know much more about cigars than you, I've been on this and many other cigar boards a hell of a lot longer than you and it may seem grossly unfair to you that it's not an "even playing field" but that's life and ya better learn to live with it because you'll run across a whole lot of other similar situations as you get older and you're going to have to bite your tounge in those cases too
