    and i think this pole belongs in the general discussion forum because it has absolutely nothing to do with cigars.
    This is a community. We all have a say as to what we feel should be going on here. It has nothing to do with being "sensitive". Why is Coventry afforded the right to what amounts to abusive bahavior IN MY OPINION and if others decide to post a complaint it's "sensitivity"? As far as "some confrontation"...90% of Coventry's posts are confrontation since the day he joined.

    I have been a member of this group for a long time and I have EVERY right to voice my opinion on this. If anyone doesn't like that they can just put ME on ignore.

    I agree this poll belongs in G.D. A simple mistake on ox's part I'm sure.

    exactly right. you're entitled to you opinion. i'm entitled to mine. and CC is entitled to his. i don't think anyone should be banned or be forced to calm down or change their attitude or anything like that. if someone doesn't like his post, don't read it or jump in and become a part of it. but some think its ok for them to attack CC's way of doing things, but he's not supposed to speak his mind about SFG. that's not fair. everyone that is taking part in the anti-CC is just as disruptive as they say he is. but i don't think there anything wrong with the way CC posts. But that’s just my opinion. But also, it doesn’t really matter what any of us think other than hex. His opinion is the only one that matters

    Excellent point, all are free to agree and disagree. At the same time, no one is following cc around from thread to thread and harassing him. Though in all fairness, that's what ignore is for. I personally, enjoy cigars and like to talk about them with others. I for one, plan on having an excellent summer. Today is my last day at work and I'm going to pick up my boys, take them to the park, and then have a relaxing cigar at home afterwards. Folks can argue about name brands, brand names, wrappers, and other miniscule matters all they want. I will use the ignore feature and try to enjoy myself here as best I can.

    LMAO Scotty that is just precious, poor baby, awwwwwww do you think you're being harassed?!! Again, you reap what you sow and secondly, you certainlly are not innocent of following me around throwing gasoline on the fire with your double talk and pigheaded BS.

    Once again, I love it when you prove my point with your idiotic posts!! Please keep it up

    Speaking his mind is one thing but personal attacks and namecalling is quite another. Coventry has appointed himself as the main Character Witness here at cigarsmokers and it seems that as new members join HE decides wether or not they are worthy members based on HIS experience with them on other boards.

    Now I am not saying that if he has had a bad experience with someone he should not make it known...and I have made that clear before. But after he does make this known he proceeds to harass, namecall, and generally try his best to tear the member in question down in as many posts as possible, regardless of the content or context. This is above and beyond what is necessary, and is the behavior that is ONCE AGAIN called into question.

    We had a member join recently who has yet to even post a SINGLE MESSAGE, and Coventry has already torn him down in several posts. (Purobrat)

    And no I don't care what the reason behind it is....in my eyes it is uncalled for.

    And I feel that taking part in this thread and asking for this kind of abusive behavior to STOP cannot be compared as being "just as disruptive"....I think the main gist of these attempts is for the disruptive behavior to CEASE!

    I am not attacking Coventry as a person, I am saying that his behavior as a member on this board is unacceptable in my opinion. He is a knowledgable BOTL, and I respect him for that. Humorous jibes and joking is one thing, but his comments after stating the initial facts in these cases we are speaking of are out of spite, anger, and based on grudges.

    Labmoney, whether or not PuroBrat has made a post or not is completely irrelevant to the fact that he like Scotty, has made his onw bed on other sites and many people think very little of him.

    The part of your post that I marked in bold is absoultely ridiculous on your part and you too are only making yourself look foolish when you post stupidity like that. You whine about me making "attacks" yet you IN THE SAME POST attack me. I won't cry about it but you like Scotty only reap what you sow and my opinion of you is only going further and further down the toilet. I see you're already acting like a jerkoff on the Island of the Misfit Toys. Come to think of it, that may just be the place for you

    Again, you whine about "unacceptable behavior" then turn around and engage in it yourself. This is not the first time you've done this. You really need to look at how you behave and interact on boards like this because trust me, you're not doing yourself any favors when you post nonsense like this.

    I find it pretty funny that you said earlier you wouldn't post at LTC and yada yada yada....but boy you know EVERYTHING that goes on there....that's why I posted the comments I did over there...to see how long before you commented on it here. To your credit it took you a little longer than I thought it would...lol . It was an experiment and you proved me right CC. Even if that isn't you posting under a different screen name then you are just trolling.....for what? good cigar reviews? I doubt that........

    What "experiment"? Oh clueless one, anyone can look at the Island of the Misfit Toys without being a member which I do from time to time.

    How do I "troll" if I'm not a member?

    You're not making any sense labmoney..........and you'd make one lousy police officer or a detective.

    "trolling" means reading and not posting oh "wise" one. And I explained exactly what I meant by "experiment" in the previous post...maybe you should reread it .

    i see your point. i just disagree. CC doesn't have to go as far as he does to 'knock down' posters; but he does. if you thinks he think of himself as our official character witness; maybe he does. but each of us can do what we want with the information he gives us. we can take all of it to heart, or we can form our own opinions. no one has to agree with him. or even read his post. if you find his knowledge valuable, take it. if you don't, ignore him. if you find half of it valuable and not the other half, then its up to you to pick through it. he is what he is. he shouldn't have to modify the half of his personality some find offensive.

    I think it is common courtesty and respect to act one way, not the other. It is not an altering of personality. Especially when half the board has voiced their dislike of it.

    Drakes analysis of the situation is EXACTLY right. If you don't like what ANYONE is saying on this board, you have an ignore button if it bothers you so much. You clearly don't understand the implications of your thought process. "Supress the ideas and it will be a nice place." Think again... Supress the ideas and it will build resentment - people will chose not to participate and to move on. I truly believe that debate sparks interest. Obviously we can't debate all the time, but debate is ESSENTIAL for a healthy discussion board.

    As you point out - you can go to the Island and participate over there. That's a great place for your type, Roham. I'm sure you will enjoy the fact that there is no fighting. But, let me forewarn you, don't disagree with any of the senior members, the mods or the admin over there - no matter how trivial, or you'll end up being banned as well. If you're willing to walk into the situation knowing that, enjoy your utopia...

    I didn't see you registering or participating at CP? Was there a specific reason for that? Was it maybe because there is open debate allowed there as well?
