Hello - wish to introduce myself

[cigarsarge]

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

Some people get it...Some don't. You obviously don't. The guy attempted to gouge members here. Maybe you do not have a clue as to proper cigar prices. Maybe you like to pay $170 for a box of Short Stories...I get em for $100 a box.

Maybe you have no respect for a guy that gets it...Basil. The guy knows his stuff. What he says usually is dead on. He took the time to learn his way around here. He had some "difficulty" here understanding our way here when his tenure here was beginning. He is now respected as a core member here...You are just a newbie bent on changing things that are not gonna be changed by you.

Don't piss on another man's Wheaties is the moral of this story. You have not been here long enough to get any Wheaties from this bowl. Stop pissing and start listening.

If you don't like the way things are here I suggest you leave...

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?

AIRBORNE!!! Thanks for the insight!!! That explains quite a bit!!!

So - why would it matter what I did for a living? I'm not for whipping out my penis in public just so you can be impressed. But I am seeing the need for you to do that - you testosterone fueled hunk you!!!

Try as you might - explain all you want to sucker4life - he just is not getting it. And I don't even see anything remotely resembling a dim flicker. I'm holding out hope it might be someday, but I fear it won't be any time soon...

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.

Hey, don't get upset. I'm just trying to tactfully mentor you. (hmmm... maybe it doesn't always work, eh?)

I'm curious how you know so much about Basil already.

And, btw, if you knew anything about my history on this board, you would know that what you said here about not calling out a "core member" is probably the stupidest thing you've put out here so far. At least when I did it, right or wrong, I had a personal history to look at.

You just showed me how much you know about me, Basil, and everyone else here. I don't think you're gonna like this place. And I think this place is not gonna like you too much.

Now, rant on. I'm done.

I hate to do this... Big Clue, sucker4life - are you at all familiar with the writings of Sun Tzu?

[Shelby07]

I'm kinda curious... what happend to kiokicigars?

[cigarsarge]

Got to head out to work guys...Pull the roast off the grill when the internal temp is about 550 degrees.

Thank you. Have a great New Year. Maybe a PM would have worked a little better.

Sorry chump, you don't get to define board etiquette here. And, your sarcasm makes it difficult to take you seriously. This is some of the "talking out of both sides of your mouth" that Shelby mentioned earlier. He was being pretty generous - I'll just call you what you are: dishonest, or, a liar.

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.

I think you should look this word up, you condescending piece of shit liar. Mothfucker, nobody is asking you to be a toady, just shut down your overfuckingblown ego and shut the fuck up.

and not pick on him because he is a big "core member" than I would respectfully disagree. .

Oh wow, here you are genuflecting and being a lackey and shit. You wouldn't know respect if you tripped over it, plastic soldier.

A person has to have basic standards of respect to people, not different sets dependant on which site they are on.

Whose standards, forum police . . . yours?

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? .

Fucking please. You did not just type this, did you?

Again, I could care less

The term is, "I couldn't care less", genius. Fucking save me.

Whoa! There goes that ego again. What a fucking tool.

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

Now we get down to who you think you are: Someone who thinks that what he does for a living gives him license to define others' reality. Wow. All you are is a plastic, cynical little nothing bitch who has made the mistake of thinking what he says here might really matter to anyone.

Thank you. Have a great New Year. Maybe a PM would have worked a little better.

A thank you and then criticism. Contradictory?

Here's the deal asshole: you owe everyone here an apology. You should do just that and then shut the fuck up for awhile and just maybe you might get it. This advice makes me your best fucking friend, so take it, or keep doing what you're doing and you can later wonder how the fuck you got buried like the pathetic victim you are.

[WOXOF]

I hate to get off topic here.

It looks like the kioki guy has been spamming a few cigar forums with the same shit trying to drum up interest in his website and some new Dominican line he is having produced. Wow! Another overpriced Dominican line of cigars. I can hardly wait to order.

back on topic...

Slkr4life, wether you realize it or not, basil is actually looking out for newbs and guys like you who may be naive enough to do business with this kioki fellow. If you don't like his tone or use of foul language, too bad that's how we are. We don't sugarcoat anything and we call it like it is (even if we have to say fuck or shit to get our point across). You can either choose to accept this board for what it is or move along and find one that is more suitable to you, there are plenty to choose from. The bottom line is this kioki fellow doesn't respect you or this board. All he is interested in is how much money he can make off of us. His post is not only bad form, it reminds me of the dozen or so spam emails I get daily that I delete without giving a second look.

[DeeDubya]

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

In an attempt to sprinkle free ads across the internet, Kioki's plan has embarrassingly failed. I think a few free sticks offered to any interested respondents "in the advertising thread" would have been a reasonable approach.

[ashauler]

Holy fuck-a-nolee, another tantrum from the "I can't play in Secret Santa cry-baby". Unbelievable. I stand by my rep point to you sukr4life.

So far your contributions to the board consist of two hissy fits......one of which led to the creation of a "special" secret santa for you and other newbies that looks like it might get a couple of members shafted.

Other members have spoken to the finer points of your transgressions in this thread, I agree with them and fully support them as they are my brothers......you dipshit, weren't, aren't, and will never be if you continue on this path. Crawl back over to your other board, where they won't let anyone call a troll a troll and your pansy ass will be protected by the mods........ so you can continue to give/receive the reach-arounds you have obviously come to expect, and dare I say, enjoy.

Did you get what you wanted, a big LOOK AT ME....?
