what a fucking moron you are....do you have any jewish friends in your pathetic life??..

look at some calendars...my guess is that there's something that might say "rash hashanah"......it's the start of the jewish new year...the high holy days to those who ARE jewish....it was my wish,to those who are...happy new year.....a nice thread,until your insensitivity showed what a no class piece of shit you are.
you owe an apology to anyone here who is jewish...

All I did was ask what it meant. How is that insensitive? You're showing your roots Sid. You keep trying to bait me into rolling in the shit. Have a nice day

[cigar no baka]

You really are antisemitic or you wouldn't have made that "roots" comment.
What a prick you are. If you wanted to know, why didn't you Google it? Because you like starting shit with Sid.

Get a life, asswipe.

What "roots" comment? I didn't say anything antisemitic. Prove it,

You hired two Jewish people and you didn't know there was a major Jewish holiday this weekend? Not a lot of contact with your employees?

My guess is the employees didn't tell him. I don't tell my boss everything about what I do outside of work because quite frankly, it's none of the boss's business.

I honestly didn't know it was a major Jewish Holiday this weekend either and none of the calendars I look at have it noted.

Hell, I didn't even know Sid celebrated Hebrew holidays and I even know what his last name is which I doubt many others around here do.

Sid's last name reminds me more of Russian mafia than Hebrew it's full of consonants and I can't pronounce it to save my life.

I actualy thought it was Sid posting more of his spam...

...Not everyone uses the same calendar or has Jewish friends/neighbors/employees.
But there's just something about CNB I don't like. ...

And maybe therein lies the problem.

I don't believe that CNB was trying to offend anyone at all. In fact, I have seen a noticable effort on his part to temper his posts and, most of all, in his restraint to post replies when he has been slammed lately. He has removed his sig and his avitar tag.

CNB - I believe you have been trying to show restraint and I appreciate it. When I said an apology was in order I wasn't implying that you did anything wrong intentionally, in fact a faux pas is just that, an unintentional social misstep.

Sid, I know you have history with CNB, but it seems he's trying to bury the hatchet, IMO. I don't know what your history is, but if it is because of his political beliefs, well, you know how I feel about that.

DW1 - You've been on the board less than 2 months and already you dislike CNB enough to publically slam him? I don't know if you have a history with CNB, but I'm not sure why you feel the need to stir the pot in this thread. You might dislike him for some reason, but by your own admission you aren't sure whether he did anything wrong here. Why are you jumping on this bandwagon without a reason? Just seems a bit odd to me.

Unfortunately, this thread has degenerated into something it didn't start out as. To my Jewish friends;

May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.

I agree with Shelby on this point, and not just because he has a hot car!

I am generally all for letting the new guys speak their minds; however, is 2 months really long enough to be the new official poopy stirrer? I don't think so. We've got a lot of seasoned vets on this board who have that covered just fine.

Sid has a last name???

You mean he isn't famous enough to go by just his first name like Michael (Jordan) or Jimi (Hendrix) or Monica (need I type that one )??

Thanks for the support. I don't know woh DW1 is here but he appears to be jumping in on things without knowing fully what is going on, so my advice to him is to say less and read more before you post about things you don't know about.

Sid seems to have a permanent hatred for me, that is too bad, as I am willing to let things go and hopefully meet him at a herf someday as he appears to be very knowledgeable about cigars. But I will avoid any talk of politics

I really am trying to end the shit-stirring but I guess since there are still too many chefs out there, no matter what I do the cooking will continue.

[cigar no baka]

CNB,
I will stop cooking and stirring. This is a temporary cease fire. We can work out the details of a permanent solution at a later time.

Ok thanks. As you can see, I said nothing anti-semitic. I have respect for Jewish beliefs and the people who hold them. I have high regards for the Jewish religion and people of Jewish faith.

I know there is a major Jewish holiday as both employees asked to leave at 2PM since they had things they needed to get done before sundown.

What I didn't know was the language Sid was using, so all I asked was a simple question, then got slammed by two people, now you jump on the bandwagon. Prove I said ANYTHING antisemitic.
