Godfather makes a good point here Joshua. Use the ignore button if it really bothers you (sounds like you'd rather try and prove a point though).
Now, as for any insinuation of people on the boards being sheep and just jumping on the bandwagon blindly, I suggest that you stop insulting the MAJORITY of this board. We're not sheep joshua. Have you ever traded with Ggiese or CC, have you ever met up with either one of them? Well, I have, and so have many, many, many others. There are very few out there as generous as FOGs like them.
These guys save us from the many ass-hole moochers in the world who otherwise would be taking advantage of noobs. Yes, they come off harsh, it's because they're protecting genuine cigar lovers turf, not just their turf. People who haven't been around long enough, or jump in too early don't understand. My advice to you is apologize, talk about cigars, and start getting involved in trades with guys like these instead of trying to fight them. If it weren't for them, plenty of scammers and morons would be filling these boards, and the genuine cigar community wouldn't exist on-line.
