Rob - there is no doubt few individuals on this or other cigar boards (including StogieChat) who have a history which would lead others to compassion if they were to know the circumstances. I applaud tfire for his service to this country - it is a strong sacrifice, no doubt. But I really don't appreciate anyone wearing that on their sleeve.

I know individuals who are embroiled in these discussions who's own personal past causes one to reflect on their sacrifices. Yet - tfire is the only one who is being defended in that regard.

I guess I'm most disturbed that he has chosen to make that information very public. Has made statements that he doesn't want the stress. Then he jumps in, with both feet, one of the most vocal - and then has other members saying, "Hey, leave the poor guy alone. He's got a lot of baggage..."

I've got some advice. If tfire is as concerned about his stress level as he claims - he needs to pull the reigns back a bit. His horse is out of control. And others defending his inflammatory posts is doing nothing more than adding fuel to that stress fire of his...
