    Default CoventryCat86 Ban Poll

    I really didn't want to do this. But Bill, you have really started to try a lot of peoples patience, including mine. I asked you to stop this crap in private, and you never responded, you simply continued. You are not the only one to blame for the current problems, but you continue to add fuel to the fire.


    Quite a few members have PM'ed me asking for a ban poll, including many not even involved in this conflict.

    I vote no ban. Bill is a valuable member of the community especially when posting about cigars or fun shit. It would be nice if CC and BPP could either settle their differences or let this die. I am a newbie and other than this vote, at the end of the day, my opinion on this subject really does not matter. However, I am not in favor of banning CC from this community.

    Miguel - your patience is being tried by the back and forth crap going on. No doubt Bill can be a big pain in the ass, but this situation is definitely not all one-sided.

    I often wonder why a certain member posts one way at one board - but posts very differently on this board. And it he is being very disrespectful of this board with his nonsense.

    If that individual does not have me on ignore, maybe he would care to comment...,

    sadly based on some historical posts I think some ppl will not vote for fear of retribution.

    Ban everybody--me, CC, BPP, Shelby, CNB and whoever else continues to be involved in this horseshit--for 30 days. Whoever chooses to come back after the 30 day suspension has to promise to play nice. If they don't, make the ban permanent.

    I really hate the fact that Bill can't settle down and let things go. I also hate the fact that several past members refuse to come around any more because of his abusive attitude, but I certainly understand why they don't. Bill has contributed nothing outstanding that I can recall in the year that I've been here. The controversy and discourse that he adds to this forum far outweighs any positive contributions that he might make. Sure he has a lot of posts, about 5 a day but very few add anything unique to this board. It seems that if there is a controversy Bill is smack in the middle of it. Hex's repeated requests for Bill to cut the stalking, harassing and prodding have been arrogently ignored, as indicated in Hex's opening post. 6 months ago I would not be in favor of banning anyone, but at this point I feel that I can't discuss anything even mildly controversial. I have tried to be a good member of this community, help when I could, and have gifted and exchanged about 300 cigars in the past year. I still have no clue as to what started him off on me, but at this point it really doesn't matter. I have decided that if Bill is still here in June when my contest, birthday club exchange and the southern herf I am trying to help ChefChris organize are over with. I will leave.

    I truly do enjoy being a member of this board and will respect whatever you all decide with no hard feelings.

    I had a long response to your observations. But ya know - if I have to explain it, it really is of no use. It is what it is.

    Let's just say - when you get to the point that you honestly have no idea whatsoever how many cigars you've sent out to others as gifts - you're probably in a position to understand why CC is valuable.

    Short of that - he is a total pain in the ass...

    Wow, you love stirring the pot and baiting don't ya? You are as guilty as anyone else, but you just sit up on that high horse of yours. I would be willing to bet it bites on the butt in the end.

    And for the record, I was on Sid's side until his post to Chris, even though I all but begged him countless times to quit egging it on. Something he, as well as yourself, can't seem to stop doing. Now, he, and every gutless little turd you claim is running their cowardly little mouths in private, can hit the bricks for all I care. And take yourself with them.

    I don't understand why that would stop anyone. If you really think he should be banned - vote to ban him!

    Hey - I yelled at Bill the other day. Let him have it REAL good! And he was yelling back and me and calling me foul names (sound familiar?). Do you see him going after me?

    There truly is a method to his madness.





    Hey - You REALLY want to see retaliation? Vote to NOT ban him...

    There's nothing worse than someone who works like the Wizard of Oz - manipulating the controls from behind the curtain.

    I'll take someone who is out in the open and obnoxious anyday over someone who is in the shadows playing like he's everyone's friend. Too friggen sneaky for me.

    I hear what you're saying. At the same time I feel there will be people that you don't get along with...in those times all you can do is make amends, part company, or just deal with it....constant bickering and harrassment is uncalled for. I've never had a problem with CC directly but I have noticed some of his posts that came across wrong...for instance, asking in what relation the post has to cigars, when the post was made in a "general" thread. I may be wrong, but I read it as mildly harassment.

    I don't think that a ban is in order but I feel that the bickering shouldn't continue, there is no need for it. This is a cigar forum. If someone can't get along with someone, then someone needs to just step up and leave. Why bring the negativity into your life?

    Anyway, I vote no go. But I'm voting that in good view that things can change for the better.

    A couple of members have indicated to me via PM that they don't want to get involved publicly for fear of being Bill's next target. Perhaps names should not be associated with votes in this poll.

    What's the matter - afraid of retaliation?

    What - do you think Bill is going to come to your house and set fire to a bag of poop on your doorstep?

    Yeah - let's play hide and seek...

    Sure, ban him, I haven't read every post he has ever posted, but from all I can remember the ones I have read have been just baiting someone into getting into a conflict.

    I am a new guy here but I read alot of the posts. I believe those involved in this whole mess should go by the saying: If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Also do onto others as you would have done to you. Just my $0.02

    Being the realist I try to be I have to disagree with gg. It takes the board as a whole. We are a community. We have our ups and downs. For the crap to stop it will take everyone here to stop it.

    I'm all about flaming scammers, trolls, and thieves...Bring em on....Burn em down. But when valued members take each other on it brings the entire board down. It splits people into factions with their own agenda. Several boards have gone this way. I don't want to see this place go that direction.

    If this board is to maintain credibility we have to make room for different personalties and trains of thought.

    Yes...The shit has to stop. Nobody can stop it but us. It will take acting like adults.

    The "crap" that needs to stop is sid's outrageous behavior, posting of things like hate-filled anti-homosexual videos and his continued attacking of people publicly and privately. sid sends PMs to people and calls them on the phone to try and start trouble, this is absolutely unacceptable behavior in my opinon and MANY of you know this is his mode of operation.

    Yep, some of you can sit there and "want this to stop" but direct your anger and outrage towards sid which is where it belongs.

    shelby is too naive and ignorant to understand this and doesn't like me because of my political leanings, it's as simple as that.

    Maybe there ought to be a poll to ban sid.........
