You make some pretty good points ox. But I would offer that how one has conducted himself on other sites IS INDEED relevant here. You must have missed my example in another thread but I'll post a similar one here again for you to think about:Originally Posted by the ox
A 3o year old man lives in a small town in Nebraska and commits a serious felony, lets say he sexually abused a 9 year old boy. He gets convicted for his crimes but manages to avoid jail time instead he receives a ten year suspended sentence. He decided to "start over" by moving to another state and stating a new life. He make some new friends and evryone thinks he's a "really good guy" Well one day, someone in the new town discovers his past conviction for child molestation and lets people know what this person did. He's quite vocal about it, standing in front of the local post office with a placard that says " XXXXX is a convicted child molseter!!" Who's wrong here, the child molester or the person who told you about it? Many states these day have Sex Offender Registrys, maybe we should have something similar for people like Scotty who cause huge disruptions and bully and abuse people on other cigar boards yet come to a new site and want a fresh start. Sorry but his actions and misdeeds on other sites are completly relevant here and you should be appreciative of the efforts of me and others who bring this to your attention.
Hey, I'm not some heartless bastard who just because someone makes one little mistake I think they should pay for the rest of their lives but my problem with ole Scotty boy is he absolutely refuses to apologize or admit he was wrong. He's done so much damage to his reputation, I don't know how many of the people he's pissed off over on the other sites will ever forgive him but he makes virtually no effort to correct his past sins.
Yep, I came here and blasted Oblik because he used to like to brag on LTC about his "source" for Cuban cigars and when he was a moderator, he would delete people's posts and bully them. He was instrumental over on LTC in getting a coupld of my friends "banned" from that site (as was Scotty). I found this behavior to be very offensive and I called him out on it. He was stubborn at first but finally admitted his cigars were fake and he finally made efforts to make up for his wrongs. I give him a great deal of credit for that and has anyone seen me saying ANYTHING bad about Oblik since he cleaned up his act?
