    What makes this board so enjoyable? Let's THINK, all the members and their collaborative posts as a whole make it enjoyable.

    It's NOT enjoyable when people like YOU manage to rub a lot of people here the wrong way. YOU brought this on YOURSELF.

    WAKE UP call FPDoc, it's not just CC you rubbed the wrong way, but the majority of the ACTIVE posters on this board.

    You owe several people on this board an apology for your behavior. If you notice several people calling you out, isn't it time to wake up, smell the roses and REALIZE something MIGHT be wrong with the way your attitude is coming across?

    How many people is it GOING TO TAKE FPDoc for you to realize this?

    Are you kidding me? Your smart alec little quote of "if you think this cigar board is a public place, you have a WARPED sense of reality?" You FIGURE out the logic here since you're so "left-brain" oriented.

    I think it's YOU NEED to back away from the computer and THINK. People were correcting your grammar which was SUCH A TRIVIAL ISSUE and you had a HISSY FIT about it.

    FPDoc77, you're being ridiculous here and really need to take constructive criticism without getting all butt hurt over it.

    If you would have just kept quiet when someone was correcting your grammar and just taken the constructive criticism like a man instead of like a two year old, we'd be TALKING ABOUT CIGARS.

    It's the principle of your attitude, it SUCKS and you're rubbing many people the wrong way.

    LMAO, I agree....you getting all butt hurt about someone correcting your grammar IS NONSENSE....glad you can finally see clearly now. Thank GOD!

    Typical FPDoc, when he doesn't have an answer he makes some ridiculous sarcastic comment as his defense. Way to go, you just solidy my case against you.

    Having a conversation with you is making me stupider by the minute, I think it's time I move on pretty soon.

    Believe this...I never was angered by it...I felt sorry for the individual who felt so small to correct. This all on a message board that was supposed to be fun. I can honestly say I havent been angry one time in these last 2 weeks. By the way why are you bucking a senior member.

    The fact that you keep referring to this as "just a message board" proves you don't get it, won't get it and probably have zero clue what IT is even though how this is not just a message board has been explained to you already. Pack your bags Fockin'PatheticDoc77. You have proven you are incapable of being anything other than an oxygen stealing sack of shit.

    To the members of this board:

    I think the proof speaks for itself regarding FPDoc77. Not only that, but he was OUT OF LINE to several people on this board.

    You're done here FPDoc77, and that's all I'm saying. Case closed.

    apologize for being an ass, stop making personal attacts like the bold text, and just keep to talking about cigars and it will make you stay here a lot more pleasant and maybe you'll get it eventually. shagaroo's right. this isn't just a message board. its a community. and if you don't see that then you don't belong here. but i don't currently see you as a problem. but a possible one.

    I had a funny feeling about this guy when he posted asking why we would chase TonyDogs out... Not it's as clear as can be to me - he's just like TonyDogs...

    FP and Island - the best doctor's and lawyer's I know KNOW they have limitations. The worst are those that think they are superior to others, even if they clearly have weaknesses (such as your issues with spelling and grammar). Like it or not, you ARE judged by how you write. Face it and deal with it. You both look foolish, despite your weak arguments about why you think it's no big deal.

    Again - what I find most interesting is you have two individuals who've only been on the cigar boards a very short time thinking they shouldn't be challenged at all. If you knew CC, you'd know he's officially called the "grammarian". It's very much expected of him. And neither one of you are immune to his doing "his thing". But both of you have such thin skin you can't get over it... fp - tell me you're not angry all you want - you wouldn't be making such a big deal about this whole issue if you weren't upset. It's written all over your posts...

    Both of you need to take a chill pill, relax, talk about cigars - and improve your grammar, spelling and punctuation...

    He's not going to apologize, good luck. He's too caught up in his arrogance to see he's done nothing wrong.

    Several of us have tried to reason with him and he won't listen. Instead he continues to parade around here and spew off his sarcastic mouth to pacify the situation and not take it seriously.

    What are you talking about, Brian... He's apologized - there are huge strings attached to his apology - but he's apologized...

    More lies and nonsense.

    This guy is a worthless piece of shit, pure and simple. fpdoc, your warped sense of reality is truly amazing, you beat out Scotty by miles.

    You obviously resent the fact that there are people here who have more posts or more time here than you do then you dream up reasons to attack them.

    There is no hope for you......

    Hey all;

    I have been gone for a few hours but it seems that I may have ignited a class 5 shit-storm here......... I figured I would weigh my opinion on this topic......

    First of all - There is no need to act like a baby when someone corrects your grammar. Like I said in my last posts, I have no problem with being corrected. This is how you learn......... I just don't like it when grammar corrections ruin perfectly good cigar related discussions.......

    Secondly - Doc you really should back down here....... I didn't start this post to say that people shouldn't ever contradict your grammar. I started it to address the fact that many good cigar discussions are being hampered by grammar problems......

    Finally - I am actually a very good writer and speaker. HOWEVER, I do have a very heavy accent..... This accent always seems to show when I write in informal situations. I am very professional when it comes to the law.

    Now, as for banning the Doc...... I am really not sure of this entire situation. Anyone know what he has done outside this thread?

    C'mon, go look at his posts and decide for yourself. No offense but I'm sensing "laziness" kinda like being too lazy to proofread your posts. Also, just a few words of advice, your "accent" explanation is awfully weak........... I wouldn't recommend using it in the future.

    OK...... I've reviewed some of the Doc's highlights and I am kinda surprised......

    I am hovering between a 30 day ban and a complete ban...... Dont you think 30 days would suit him better? If he comes back, it proves that he actually respects this community. If not, that is OK too.........

    Hey, if after 30 days we could always boot him for good if he gets out of line......

    A poster should make an effort to spell words correctly and use proper punctuation otherwise it makes the board look like a bunch of morons post here.

    When I tell people message boards and if the check them out and see a bunch of slobs posting with constant spelling errors and a lazy, sloppy attitude they say "Why post there, those people are obviously stupid?"

    I'm not perfect by any means but at least I do my best to write properly.

    Agreed, a poster should make an attempt to be somewhat literate. I however dont believe posts should be english essays.

    Your right…they shouldn’t have to be English essays.

    The problem is, many people, when they write a post or response forget the only way we can tell what they are communicating is what they wrote. Someone, who doesn’t take the time to write what they are saying, check the sentence structure and spelling, and the reread what they wrote is someone that is most of the time typing with their emotions and not thinking about what the message is they‘re attempting to relay.

    This is where most people make mistakes and then have to “back peddle” to try and say what they meant or save their reputation.

    If they just took the time and check what they are writing and make sure the message they are trying to relay is correct, maybe, just maybe, we wouldn’t get the “wrong” message and get upset from their post. Remember, when you hit that post button, it’s the same thing as saying something to someone.

    If you are not careful what you are saying, you may just say the wrong thing and that is the impression that person is going to have of you. You can’t take back what you just said, so you are stuck with that statement. Same thing as posting something on a message board.
