    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.

    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...

    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......

    Hey CC, you should hear my accent......... If you can't understand my text, you certinly wouldn't understand my speach....... You would think English is my third language, but it is actually my first.....
