Now wait a minute here, I'm not really on top of my game here today but if I were, I could come up with a couple of good analogies demonstrating what a ridiculous suugestion that is coming from you. So, I'll just ask you a simple question, how can I know whether or not you're being an asshole in a post unless I read it first?![]()
So please allow me to explain from my point of view what happened:
1. Some asks for cigar recommendations
2. jslnjohn states that he's got cigars in his "invantory" (by the way jslnjohn, "inventory" is the correct spelling) which sure sounds to me like jslnjohn is a retailer.
3. Sid (bigpoppapuff) conclude the obvious which is that jslnjohn is a retailer and asks ole jsnljohn to please tell us about himself and his retailing business.
3. jslnjohn immediately gets defensive and snotty for no real good reason.
HOLD THE PHONE, I can see ole jslnjohn saying "Well this bigbadvoodoodaddy guy was mean to me." and I suppose if you're on the sensitive side, one might conclude that Sid was a little rough on the noob BUT Sid as well as many others involved in on-line communities really like to see "intro" posts from people so we know at least a little something about them (like whether or not they are a retailer or not, etc....). I really don't think Sid was out of line and jslnjohn, let's face it, you're brand-freakin' new here and it's pretty clear that Sid has been here a while so it's very unwise to mouth off to one of the active long time members here.
Now that we've got all that straghtened out jslnjohn, are you willing to contribute in a positive manner to this community are will you continue to be a dick?
