Can SOME of the FOGS PLEASE....

[Loudpipes78]

..... [STOP ACTING LIKE FUCKING ASSHATS!!!!!!!


I was warned before coming onto this board to try to be a cool newb, not ask stupid questions, respect the FOGS cuz they know what they're talking about, and to try to soak in as much knowledge as possible. I did that and felt like I had found a good home till the last day or so.


Y'all can keep saying there is a ton of cigar stuff going on and blah blah blah but right now it's like being at a party and having a couple fight in the corner. No matter how kick ass the party is you still hear that couple going back and forth like cats and dogs even if it is off to the side in the other room. You can blare the music louder but you'll still hear them in between songs or still see their actions. I don't know how else to explain it.

Honestly seeing grown ass adults acting like this is pathetic, I'm on some boards where the core member is 18-21 so I'm kind of used to this shit but coming on here I was expecting an older more mature crowd which I found originally but after reading some of this crap... well... get the fuck over yourselves, seriously. As a newb I now have concerns about some of the passes, etc. the actions of a few in a small area of the forum is wrecking the reputation of the majority. I had a split offer all typed up this afternoon and deleted it, why, because I don't know who I can trust. Everyone seemed real cool but true colors are shining through and that put a lot of doubt in my mind. FOG on FOG hate isn't helping anyone and if a handful of FOGS are going at it that have been around each other for a while what's going to happen if I slightly mis-step?

I guess that's it.... I'll end my lil' rant now.]

I hope you all enjoy the bracket trick to disable thread preview.

Thanks for your post. Your post is well taken - something I've been saying for some time and it's been falling on deaf ears...

Sid and Barry - you readin' this???

You're one of the people this is directed at/to, remember when you point your finger at someone you got 3 pointin' back at you....


Things have gotten way out of hand and I figured I would speak up before just choosing to up and leave.

As of now I'm just not encouraged to put the effort into this board if I know it has a shot to go to shit in the coming day/week/month cuz the FOGs can't act like... well... FOGs... I guess... or the definition that I heard of them at least.

Don't let this go to your head but you're role models for a lot of us newbs (young or old), if it wasn't for y'all, some of us would being walking into cigar stores, dropping our pants, and grabbing our ankles hoping that since we just handed our wallet over and/or a small fortune that we'll at least get some lube before being ass raped by some greedy shopkeep.

I read your post and although I'm not a FOG I have just bowed out of the thread. You are right, it has gotten out of hand and I apologize for my part.

Stick around.

This thread is probably the best thread I've read on here in the past couple of days.

Sorry George and Bill I like you both a lot but you guys and Sid and Barry all just need to knock this crap off. I had a lot of respect for all of you but since this whole situation came up I've lost a bit of it. One of you be the man and just let it fucking go, don't post again saying you're walking away just walk away and don't respond anymore who cares if the other guy thinks he's won? Make this site a better place and everybody just STFU for a bit.

Good thread Loudpipes stick around.

Oh now that sounds just ducky doesn't it? There's a huge problem with Barry that's been brewing pretty much since the day he got here and quite a few people are sick and tired of it. Barry feels that it's "okay" to be hateful, vulgar, insulting, offensive and downright rude defending it by claiming its his right to "free speech" with his Scotty-type mentality and actions.

Yep, let's just follow your advice and ignore it nate, sounds good to me. Hiding your head in the sand and ignoring the problems don't make them go away. You may be williing to do that but I'm not and if you want to lose repsect for me over that than that's your choice. I offer that in my opinion, you're proposed course of action (which is to just "SFTU") won't "make this site a better place" but will on the contrary make it even worse.

LMFAO!! You "bowed out" before but couldn't help yourself and jumped right back in with both feet. When I respond with reasonable arguments, you ignore them only to respond with more BS.

And when you "bowed out" ten minutes before making this post here, your tone was pretty far from concilatory in fact it was downright offensive and only looking to keep your losing battle going. My guess is once you realized you were badly losing your debate you then switched gears opting to "bow out" rather than try to continue to defend your indefensible arguments. Your integrity is very questionable with those tactics shelby.......

OR.... he made that post and then read this thread and responded. For the record it was actually 15 minutes in between posts.

Not saying it went this way or your way and I really don't care I just want everyone to get over it and move on. Whatever the reason for his bowing out of thread at least he did, unlike you.

Never said I conceeded, Bill, just that I bowed out.

Have a great day!
