This is the shit I find amazing from yet another one of the jerks from SploogieChat. Here's a post from a guy called Parkster:

I never had any intention of posting in this thread, I got tired of it on the second page and could only comment on my personal dealings with ET and the SC members, so decided to hold my tongue.

For anybody who may be interested though, those dealings have been with exceptional people who I regard as stand-up members of the community, and even as friends in some cases.

People have opinions that differ, they are entitled to them, but where I come from, you NEVER walk into another mans house and disrespect him, if you do, then you know where the door is, and dont let it hit your a$$ as you leave. ET has my utmost respect for the time he gives to this site and for the deals he continually offers the BOTL here (and as it turns out, elsewhere too). He is human, mistakes can be made, and as far as I can see, he stepped up to rectify a simple mistake. Then he was burned for it ..........

As for the comments regarding TFire, I take exceptional offence to the way this MAN was spoken about. Brave words spoken over the web, a truly different story I would bet if they were in person.

For what it is worth, I would be proud to stand next to this man who stood up to be counted for his country and belief's,

From what I can see on the other sites I have visited since viewing this thread, too much hate and yak yak yak, and not enough smokin of stogies. Sad sad people who need to get out more in some cases. I dont know any of these people, but I must admit to being a bit puzzled as to why they are generalising about all of the BOTL on here as a$$holes, sheep, f$*kwits etc etc, refering to us as the Sploogiechat crew? WTF is that all about, I am a 42 year old MAN, this is begining to sound like a nursery, if I have offended anybody and they decided to offload in this manner, fair deal, but to collectively brand me and people I regard as friends without taking the time to get to know me/us gets neither my respect nor admiration and where I come from, I take as I find and expect the same in return.

As for this thread, ITS TIME TO LET IT GO.

Everybody is more than welcome to hang out here, just leave your baggage at the door, take as you find, as will be done with you and dont let petty little people instill their petty little problems in you.
Uhh.....Parkster, did you read Eric's FIRST POST on page 3 in the thread you posted in where he started hurling insults at CigarSmokers. Just in case you missed it, here's what he said:

Thanks guys, as I wanted everyone to be aware of the situation, not a flame war.

The CigarSmoker forum tends to be the home for such misfits in the cigar world, as you can read by many of the members posts toward me and other people, including other retailers. They then moved over to the ClubStogie and started with their comments in the newbie thread. Of course, they tip toe on that board and don't use the same foul language because any respectible forum admin would not allow such activity and would ban them like we did a long time ago.

While they act like they are some God on their forum, they are about nothing everywhere else.

Looks like they are going to drag Skipper into this as well.

So "Parkster" do you see why some members here might make some generalizations about SploogieShat (oh, excuse me, I spelled that wrong, StoogieChat) WHEN THE OWNER OF STOGIECHAT makes the above post generally slamming this board?

Tell me that you think that's okay for him to do but not okay for people over here to take offense to it and respond with derogatory comments about StogieChat which by the way is a pretty shitty site as far as cigar sites go. I think that deep down you know that which is why you're hyper-sensitive when people state the obvious.
