Whoa.. Tough crowd.

Now tell us how you really feel.

All kidding aside, though, if there's something you didn't understand, please let me know. If you're not clear as to what we're offering, chances are others aren't either. Although the general response to the program has been favorable, we can certainly improve on it.

In a nutshell, we're offering a service in which cigar manufacturers will have a direct pipeline to every tobacconist in the US for inside deals that would ultimately be passed on to you, the consumer. Your peripheral participation will allow you to know about cigars and accessories that manufacturers are offering. Should you have interest in them, we'll let you know who made the purchase and how to contact them. There's more, but it's blah blah blah.

As far as your colorful comments, the last time I burst into a tapestry of profanity like that towards someone, I gave the person the benefit of knowing them for a few years. You, sir, don't know me. Of course, I'm new to the board so I'm not aware of your protocol. But if new guys get welcoming messages like that one, I imagine they don't stick around too long. Kind of ruins the ride. Don't you think?

I didn't intend to be hard on you as a person. I'm sure you are a great guy. Do you smoke cigars? What do you like? I would not mind at all to get to know you as a person.

However, you did not come onto this site as a person, but rather as a business. I make NO apology for how hard I scrutinize OR criticize you in that regard. I would be a potential customer in that case AND the customer is always right, right?. I did not directly call your business an asshat business, but rather alluded to that possibility based on your lack of hard content. I understand perfectly WHAT you are doing. It doesn't take a website to explain it. You, however, did not give any details. So, I have to ask, "So what? Why do I care?" Why don't you come back when you have some "cigar manufacturers" or tell us who you have so far. What specific "tobacconist" do you have contacts with?

(Imagine Samual L. Jackson saying this.) One last point, if you don't mind: I can use profanity on this site if I choose. This is OUR site and it is regulated by OUR members. If you are offended by the terms "asshat" or "mofo" then maybe this site is not your cup of tea. I even apologize for using those offensive terms in relation to your business. However, I don't HAVE to apologize; I just choose to. I appreciate your elegant reponse and I will try to not to resort to any vulgarities while communcating with you. So, yes, tough crowd..., but we can gentle things down for you.
