    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.

    Grammar - It's the difference between knowing your crap and knowing you're crap.
