As a member of this board for almost two years I can say I am fairly well pleased with the less hostile attitude now. Although I never post much, I read the board almost nightly and it was getting a bit disappointing at all the b.s. that was going on. I know that if that kind of behavior was going on at my B&M I would not go there. And this board is kind of like a cyber-B&M. There are conversations, hints, brags, suggestions, and help here just as at a B&M.
Some times I do get a little dismayed at the treatment of newbies, I mean sure we have all read the same question fifty times in the last year about mold or bloom, or how do I season a humidor, or why does the wrapper crack, but we have heard it from fifty new members! And most of the time they get told "use the search". If you were to walk into any social setting and ask, "How's it going?" and get told, "Read the newsletter." What would you do?
So screw those who want hostility, we may not all agree on everything but at least we can state our opions (opinions are like assholes, everybody has got one and all of them but yours stinks). And as rational adults we just deal with it. After all this is cyberspace it is as real or unreal as we take it.
O.K. that's half of a Royal Jamaica Gold Toro worth.
