Without quoting Shelby...He made a hell of a lot of sense.

I would not be a mod if asked...I made my fresh start feelings known in an earlier post.

Go ahead and beat your horse...It will not change a thing.

Sorry bro but I wasn't talking about CL or Stogie. I was trying to talk about Cigar Smokers and how I'd like to see it grow.

This place needs to be what it grows to be, but it needs to be protected from its own implosions and members who contribute to its dysfunctional reputation.

I read it. I expected the exact opposite from you Ken.

If you will point out the parts you don't agree with I'd be glad to listen. I'm open to all points of view.

I feel Shelbys post makes a lot of sense too. I lke the board the way it is now, very little agenda-grinding and the resulting wars that follow. Hex is using a very light hand to moderate this, and the board has improved as a result.

**ashauler** · 09-29-2007, 11:39 AM

I'm by no means a senior member, no FOG for sure, this was the first board I joined, the first post I made was here. I have learned what I know about how to, and how not to, conduct myself on forums from the members of this board.

I went to CL and joined up, got involved a bit......and found out for myself that I don't really like the "feel" of it....when I participated in a PIF and got PM's from the sender to "make sure you post to my i-trader rating" instead of "hey, hope you liked the smokes, did they arrive safely"......I knew what it was all about and have since withdrawn from the site as much as I can and will leave completely once a commitment I have there is fulfilled.

I enjoy CS more now since things have toned down some and the conflict has more or less gone away, and the mean, insulting posts are saved for the asshats that deserve them......but I gotta admit, CS has the best asshat roasters in the bidness!!

I can't deny that I've had similar feelings at times, but CL is a different board witha very different culture. Some folks like that.

There are also a lot of posts there that interest me, especially some of the discussion about the SCHIP, and a bunch of folks that don't exhibit the behavior that you point out. Let's let CL grow in their own way and not worry too much about them. I hope they continue to grow. It can only help the hobby.

I agree with you there, too. But I think we need to stop being so quick to feed on our young and especially each other.

But our young are so tender and tasty...

**ggiese** · 09-29-2007, 06:16 PM

Why is it that some are encouraged to beat dead horses, while others are told to stop? That's funny!!!

BTW - Admittedly, I was being facetious about reinstating CoventryCat. I've talked to him, and I don't think you have to worry, at least for the time being - he really has no desire to come back - Whether you reinstated him or not. No need to wait for that call, Hex - it's not coming. That should make at least a couple of people happy...

But the board is definitely different since he's been gone...

Is the place better? I think some really think so. It's what they want. Others clearly have some issues with the direction this board is going. Funny how that works.

Dan - sorry, but it's bugging me. You've said this more than a few times, so I think you might be confused...

"Common" is "belonging equally to, or shared alike by, two or more or all in question: i.e. common property; common interests."

I think you're really trying to say, "Come on!", or the more popular contraction, "C'mon"

Yeah, I did see that Hershey Walker was not happy with the direction the board is taking, but it seemed to me that most folks disagreed with him.

I understand that CL has its own culture, and you're right, some folks like that.........I just don't happen to be one of them. IMO, the "culture" there fosters the kind of behavior I pointed out......and yes, I agree that there are some members there that aren't interested in the back-slapping, and there are some good topics......

Actually, I just noticed when I sent you those Oliva Bolds you never added a bomb reward for me.

Please know that I am 100% .... kidding.
