Hello - wish to introduce myself

[kiokicigars]

Hello fello smokers,

My name is Eric and I am from www.kiokicigars.com. Just want to stop by and say hi. If anyone has any questions please let me know.

Thank you and look forward to the join here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!!!

You put your first post, an ad, in general discussion of cigars instead of "advertisements".

You have condescendingly invited people to ask any questions they may have. In doing so you've included one group who've forgotten more than you'll ever know about cigars AND etiquette. And, you've included another group who come here to get answers from trusted members.

Your product reflects an attempt at a target market that knows very little about cigars.

You most likely don't realize that the site owner also sells cigars online. Here, I'm being generous.

Your product is about 40% over other retailers.

Take your over-priced top 40 bullshit and peddle it elsewhere. No one here needs to ask you jackshit. What a fucking arrogant piece of shit.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!!!

Welcome and hope you have a great New Years too.

Don't pay attention to the negative post by Basil or I am sure the ones to follow my greeting. It's like peoples kids that scream in the grocery store, their just looking for some kind of attention they don't get at home. Have fun, there are some people who actually have something of interest to say. Cheers.

ok fuckwad, you stood on your dick at least once before and then did some kinda lameass apology that as it turns out was counterfeit. True colors. Apologize just enough to not get dogpiled and then lie in wait with your pencil dick resentment until you can get your revenge. Pathetic. You're too fucking stupid to see that this asshole above blundered in and committed a faux pas, shitting in YOUR living room. That is, if you consider yourself to be a part of this community. Go ahead shitface, dig your hole. I'll be standing by to kick dirt in over you, and here long after you're gone.

edit: Oh shit cockslkr4life I re-read your bullshit from the Secret Santa thread; had forgotten what an imbecile you are. Keep it up chief, '08'll be a short year for you on this board. Fucking troll.

Ah, I see someone didn't get a thesaurus for christmas. No need to slam a guy on his first post. If you think he did something wrong, why not a PM and try to help the BOTL? At any rate have a great New Year.

Because, dumbass, he's a big boy and is responsible for himself. One wipes their feet upon entering, uses the restroom rather than the dining room corner, etc. Tell ya what though: let's put what I think to one side for a bit and see what others say over the next day or so. Why, even you seem to be predicting that the "ones to follow (your) greeting" may take issue with this salesman. Sounds like double talk chief. Troll agenda.

Thought the idea was to help each other out, not to unleash our angst because our moms didn't hug us enough as kids. Just wanted the guy to know that not everyone that enjoys cigars is like you. Kudos though on the language on this post. Good job.

Oh, "The one's to follow" was directed upon you, and yet again you did not disappoint. Seems you need help on that.

[cigarsarge]

Looks like slkr4life done shit and fell back in it...Let the games begin!!!

Just so you know basil is one of the core group of guys here. You're way outa line here asshat.

If by "Core Group of Guys" you mean belligerent to anyone new that posts here, than yes you are correct sarge. Uh-oh, I am an asshat for thinking maybe you should PM the guy and let him know there was a better way to do his introduction? Really it is not that hard, give the guy a chance to correct the problem before fragging him. Mentoring is all about tact.

Sucker4life...

Are you sure you're not in Airborne? Seems to me you just dropped in here and began a mission to seek and destroy. Maybe you ought to think about a campaign of winning "hearts and minds".

Having not been here very long, I don't blame you from not knowing what the "core group of guys" means. And - if you continue at this pace you will never know.

Your loss - but a shame, nonetheless...

[drew_goring]

Sweet. A box of Short Stories for 170 bucks.

slk, if you're here for the circlejerk, it ain't happening.

[597]

Popcorn anyone?

[Shelby07]

Slkr - you need to back off. This board has a different culture and what Basil said is perfectly acceptable here. What the first poster did, while maybe being ok on some boards, is not acceptable here. If Basil didn't point it out then somebody else would have. Like it or not, there is very little tolerance for those in the business, who come on here and try to use this forum as their own personal billboard.

You can't come here and jump in with both feet. It doesn't work that way. You've got 39 posts and you've already been involved in 2 altercations here. You need to figure out what this community is about before you come in swingin'.

You don't seem to like the fact that Basil jumped all over this guy, but you aren't at all reluctant to jump all over him. You seem to have some suggestions for how he should have handled his reply. Perhaps you should have taken your own advice and laid off the insults in yours. Here's what I mean - It's as clear as can be...

First you say...

Don't pay attention to the negative post by Basil or I am sure the ones to follow my greeting. It's like peoples kids that scream in the grocery store, their just looking for some kind of attention they don't get at home.

Then you say...

Ah, I see someone didn't get a thesaurus for christmas. No need to slam a guy on his first post. If you think he did something wrong, why not a PM and try to help the BOTL? At any rate have a great New Year.

And yet again you say...

Sounds like maybe somebody else didn't get enough hugs from their mom.

And then, of course, there is this...

If by "Core Group of Guys" you mean belligerent to anyone new that posts here, than yes you are correct sarge. Uh-oh, I am an asshat for thinking maybe you should PM the guy and let him know there was a better way to do his introduction? Really it is not that hard, give the guy a chance to correct the problem before fragging him. Mentoring is all about tact.

Seems to me that what you say and how you act in this thread are huge contradictions. Pick one and stick to it.

You need to make up your mind... do you want people to be kind and helpful or do you want to come on this board and bitch to the regulars because they bitch too much? It's starting to sound like you want them to act the way you tell them to yet reserve the freedom to act as you like.

The people here are good folks and the board is a good one. You can fight with them (you will not win.. the culture is already established here) try to fit in, back off or just decide this ain't the place for you.

And yes, I do post on another board that you frequent, But just as I do there, I also respect the culture and the people here.

Of course, what you do is up to you. I'm just tryin' to help...

This ain't CigarLive...We call an asshat an asshat and scammers...scammers...In the full view of the board. You publically support a company that gouges cigar smokers. It makes me wonder about what you are all about.

[slkr4life]

There is no seeking and destroying. Seniority is no excuse to be immediately ignorant to anyone or acceptable because that is just the way it is here. So you can warn me, threaten me, or (gasp) call me names but I will never tolerate blatant disrespect to anyone.

Oh yeah, First twelve years was Airborne. How bout you?

You disrespect this board by supporting people that gouge fellow smokers and then questioning a senior members post comcerning the company in question. Seniority means something here. You have none. Your limited time here means nothing if you decide to question to take on established members.

I repeat...This is not a politically correct board. We call em as we seeem. If you don't like it the door swings both ways. If you don't like our ways...Don't try to change them. Just go away before you totally meltdown.

Don't think there really is a need to back off. If you don't like a guy putting his business in his post then why not say " this isn't appreciated on this board or tolerated". There that was not to hard was it?

Yes I do have insults in my replies to Basil because that seems to be the only thing he understands. So if you think someone should be a lackey and not pick on him because he is a big "core member" than I would respectfully disagree. A person has to have basic standards of respect to people, not different sets dependant on which site they are on.

[slkr4life]

Don't care if it is a politically correct board, just that people use a little intelligence before typing. The guy has never gouged me, has he gouged you? Again, I could care less if you a senior member if you don't know how to talk to people. If someone deserves it than lambaste them, however when your first response is to than you lack any sense of credibility. Besides who could really meltdown, do you really take that much stock in what is said over a computer

Umm.. If you don't tolerate it, then you shouldn't pass it around as freely as you have in this thread.

Please don't wear your service on your sleeve. Lots of the guys here have served their country and their communities more than you'll ever know.

He asked and I replied. Seems like a valid response.
