Suffice it to say - TonyDogs is not a very nice person (threatened members at this and other boards with bodily harm). He claims he never threatened bodily harm - but it was clear in both his public and private postings. He's been banned here and at CigarPass - as well as the several other persona's he's created.

Given his history of creating new screen names - I'm hoping you're not another persona of Tony....
First Im not a persona of Tony. But I was actually impressed by his reviews, much better than mine at least. After I read this stuff I was curious what kicked this all off. It seems the admin. here put 2 and 2 together and found out Tony was the same guy that threatened lives over at CigarPass which many of you happen to be members of. I dont know what got Tony going over there but I would bet some of the senior members were taking some pot shots at him. He got more mad than he should have and said some really stupid things. Things that should have gotten him banned. This is my take...it seems as though the "newbies" have to go through some sort of hazing ritual where they are supposed to just keep their head down...dont buck any senior...dont speak unless spoken to...and maybe just maybe you wont get banned. Then if you become a senior member you can do that to the newbies yourself and you have proved yourself worthy of this community. Am I way off?
It seems personalities like Tony's dont take well to that. I agree with the ban just wonder if IM correct concerning the sociodynamic situation of this community. Im not saying its wrong (actually might be a good weeding out tool) just curious to if IM way off base here.
