Wtf

[ggiese]

Jeez. I'm sorry Ken (cigarsarge) won't be around. He's obviously one of the good guys.

Lee, that's your first post in two months. Who do you think is going to miss you?

CC, I don't think anyone would miss your particular brand of intolerance if you stopped coming around here, which of course you won't. You couldn't stop yourself if you tried. Not that you want to contribute in a positive way any more. I haven't seen you take part in a box split, or the newbie trade thread, or a pass, or even offer a review or a piece of advice, not so much as a simple friendly word in weeks. You just use this place to vent your bile. It's pathetic, a guy your age so insecure that he can find nothing better to do with his time than heap abuse on people whose views aren't in complete accord with your own. I wouldn't mind so much your stuff was the least bit entertaining. I could forgive you being a bully, but I can't forgive you being such a bore.

Guys, if you really miss Scotty and Purobrat that much, pm me and I'll tell you where they're hanging out these days. Why not go harass them where they live? Oh, that's right, because you can't count on the crowd piling on on your side. More likely public opinion would go the other way and you know it. Like any bully, you're only really interested in a fight where you think the odds are in your favor.

Nicholas - this is bad - REAL BAD...

There are things that CC does that I don't agree with - but a vast majority of the time this guy freely imparts his knowledge of cigars, he offers his hospitality freely, and he is very much a stand up guy. To make your statements based upon the very short time you've known CC is extremely ignorant,,,

I thought I knew more about you than I obviously did. I guess I'm ignorant as well. However, the difference between you and I is that I had no where to see what kind of person you were online other than here. You can research CC's history at any number of boards and see what he's about...

I'm disappointed - VERY disappointed... And I KNOW without asking that I'm not the only one...

Cigarsmokers.com is a member moderated community. We did not have a policy in place stating that making racist comments would get you banned and I don’t like enforcing policy’s retroactively, it seems way too fascist. I don’t like banning people at all, but it’s clear the community simply does not want to be associated with individuals who make racist statements.

I’ve read statements indicating that I didn’t act fast or decisively enough. You know what? Managing a bunch of pseudo anonymous members of an internet community isn’t an easy task. You are never going to please everyone and someone is always gong to end up whining like a little school girl.

I have decided to ban Manix permanently unless the community gets a public apology and the community accepts.

Manix you obviously can not post. If you want back in, then email me: miguelg[at]gmail[dot]com and I will post the apology to the community in a poll.

Not good enough. Hex while I appreciate your efforts toward fairness, the fair thing here is to close the door on this loser. Not under threat of people bailing, but because that's the obvious vote of this board. Retro nothing. Would you let someone who proudly justifies pedophilia or beating his wife continue to use your board just because there were no rules addressing such behavior before they were outed? An apology for bigotry that he claims to be proud of? Doesn't wash. And, he's just the type that'll say the words "I'm sorry" and go back to howdy doody, glad handing, board-humping bullshit. And you'll still have the same asshole - so full of bile that he uses sarcasm to demean his own mother's heritage. Hitler had the same problem wiht his Jewish heritage. As I said, the guy's got too much history to make it right on this board and maybe this lifetime; e.g., the multiple lies he spewed on the PIF thread. If he's willing to lie there and proudly claim bigotry here, he'll damn sure fabricate an apology for us. Fuck 'im. You can publish his apology. I'll gladly piss all over it.

I vote permanent ban. No brainer.

pretty sure this whole thing has stressed hex out a bit and no one ever wants to have to ban members. i say the guy has done enough and if you don't think so and tcmm happens to lie his way back in, the members will make it a pretty unhappy place for him. not to mention every has an option in their user cp to ignore a particular member. how great is the net.

[Roham]

Hex, in my opinion you have handled this situation 100% perfectly! I couldn't of done it better myself. I would just stick to your guns and don't let all these people get to you. This is a great board and I enjoy checking in here nightly. If people leave, let them leave. Like you said, you can't make everyone happy. Impossible. I was here during all the talk of banning members and how shunned on it was.



You handled the situation perfectly!!!

[Bkcloud114]

This has to be the stupidest shit I have heard in a while......... TCMM has been banned.... GOOD...... F*ck him...... and anybody who wants to shake his hand should go with him

And comes the day I meet someone with as much hate as I have, I want to shake your hand manix.

TheSilentChamber...... this was your post and there is no other way to interpret what you said...... the comments you made were just as racist as TCMM.


CoronaGigante.......... holy crap !!!

I know it sucks making retroactive decisions but I for one think you did the right thing. That does not happen enough these days.
Thank You

George, Bill, Tommy, we've got to step it up! We've been slacking, we ain't been guarding the door. Been letting just anybody come in here and we have to put a stop to it! I'm taking my humi and recliner to the foyer. I'm bringing my shotgun as well.

It's back to the hazing days for me. Gotta start checking them out again. Giving 'em some hell as soon as they come through the door. And if they get out of shape, I'm gonna give 'em a chest full of birdshot (sense it's illegal for me to hit 'em with buckshot, ).

Hey - SilentChamber - Ray says to step it up!!! I support that position!!! And you have one of two possible choices as I see it - STFU (as I've already suggested) or bear the brunt of the beat down that's coming. Under normal circumstances I don't like to match wits with someone who is unarmed, but in your case I'm willing to make an exception...

I am more of a traditionalist. Just wondering if longbows and wooden arrows are allowed. Let it be known I am not of the caliber of you and the others but I really like it here and would be happy to light some bitch on fire with flaming arrows.

LMAO!! Then you gotta go to the long "Kinky for Governor" thread and shoot one in Amanda's sorry ass, she's the poster child for Grand Cru's post
