The truth of the matter is that we've already lost members because of Bill's bullying. I really don't think I will be able to stand by and watch it happen to somebody else again.

For those of you who have sent PM's, thank you.
You are at odds with Bill because you don't understand Bill. If you understood him, you would not be at odds with him. Believe me - it's true.

Bill is not a big green ogre. Bill is Bill. He's brash - he's loud - many times he's obnoxious - but Bill is a very stand up, trustworthy guy. Agree with his politics or not - Like his personality or not - Bill really is the kind of person you'd want to be a member of your cigar board if you really wanted it to be a good place to be.

Sid - you did screw up big time. You've done things you'd would be all over others for doing. I know you really don't think you screwed up. I having serious doubts you'll ever understand how or where you screwed up. And I see you growing more bitter by the day. I've resigned myself to that. It is what it is. It's a shame - I miss the old Sid - but I honestly don't see how it can return to the way it was "back then".

So - do what you must. Stay. Leave. Argue. Kiss and make up.. Whatever you think is best - just do it...
