I have tried several times to reason with several of you on different levels to no avail. It does no good. I chose that line because i thought it proved my point pretty well.

If you want to talk cigars let me know, Ill see you on the rest of the board.

I do not have anything against ANY of you guys personally. I just think the way you are handling this is pretty childish, and I obviously got my stupid ass swept up in it. My own fault there...

ggiese, I am satisfied with a LOT of the points made in the other posts and have said so on a few occasions....I just don't see the need to keep going over it for days and weeks at a time.

am I trying to save the board from the "great invasion"?

No....I just miss the days when me and my buddies used to meet up here and talk about smokes.

I don't feel I have "fired baseless accusations" and if you feel I have been disrespectful for voicing my opinion so be it, there isn't much I can do but disagree. I feel that SOME of your posts have been disruptive and I have voiced my OPINION that I wish them to stop. For that I have been called names and been accosted with some pretty rude posts, and I took the bait. As I said before, my own stupid fault there...I let myself get drawn into this mediocre drama...

To my fellow members that have been here awhile, I apologize for my part in this.

To the new members , I'm sorry if you were offended, and I hope you get some sort of resolution to this someday....there are obviously a lot of bent up egos and hurt feelings in this situation, and I have no place in it. It is now very apparent that nobody can have any bearing on this situation, and I apologize for trying.

As I said before, I have nothing agianst any of you personally, and I am officially out of this fracas. Good luck.
