Bill, your decision to be or not be at that or any other HERF is just that yours. But last I checked I am a grown man and not under any obligations to disclose my whereabouts. Please don't ask me any similar questions in the future.

You were more than willing to "disclose (your) whereabouts" earlier in this thread so what's your problem all of a sudden?

Are you going or not? When you do indeed make a decision, please post here whether or not you'll be attending. Thanks.

Bill I am sorry you feel that way about me. I know we have differences of opinion on certain issues, but regardless I hope you can be adult enough to refrain from name calling and from making people choose sides via me or him kind of arguments.

I'm not engaging in "namecalling" nor am I "making people choose sides." This is yet another example of your ignorant behavior which I why I absolutely cannot tolerate you. I simlpy stated that if you're going to be attending the event this Thursday then I will not attend.

So are you planning on attending or are you going to Canada?

If you actually might come, why not come either way Bill? Dan's a good guy. Maybe you two could talk it out and make nice. :thumbs: IMHO, Most anyone who talks to Dan in person will realize that he is a nice guy.

I would prefer to avoid him if possible and have no interest in having anything to do with him. He's about the farthest thing from a "nice guy" I've ever come across in my expereince on cigar boards.

I heard larrynj is a "great guy to herf with" but he's nothing but a complete asshole on cigar boards, another person I would prefer to never have to meet in person.

Bill, I'm sorry about your experience with Dan. I've met and herfed with him a few times now and have always enjoyed my interaction with him, and I look forward to meeting up with him again. If it doesn't happen this time around, then I look forward to the day that we can meet and share a smoke, Bill.

For everyone else, I'm still planning on being there Wednesday and Thursday night. Let me know if and when you're planning on attending so I can save a big enough area for us. Hope to see as many of you as possible.

I will be there Weds definately.
There is a 85% chance of my attendance on Thursday as well.

Wow, Bill, I'm having a hard time reconciling the things you've said about Dan's personality with my personal experiences with him. Dan has always struck me as a modest and soft spoken fellow. Sorry to hear that you aren't willing to attend if he'll be there. I hope you'll reconsider. There are other folks that will be there who'd be pleased if the elusive cat made an appearance.

Sam, Rob, and anyone else, see you Wednesday! Thanks for accommodating my schedule.

Not for nothing... but cigar smoking is a fun hobby and passion that is supposed have the ability to bring very different people together... a great equalizer, if you will. The people that have herfed with him, myself included.... the conseus is that he is good guy. Why blindly harbor bad sentiments, based solely on experience on the net? I never understood all that... many times people act/talk differently than in person on these boards. But that is just the nature of the beast... people trying to put a word in, without the ability of instant rebuttal. People oftentimes overstate what they actually mean, in an effort to get something across through a medium that is impersonal compared to face-2-face conversation. I mean it's not like he took a shit in your refrigerator, or mad cracks about someones mother. I'm rambling a bit, but cigar smoking is supposed to be a fun thing and a way to get away from personal hangups, problems, etc. I'm not one to ordinarily "put things well", so what can I tell you... :laugh: Bottom line.... if you took some face to face time with Dan, you would see that he is a good guy. Unless you are bent on seeing him as a bad guy. IMHO, I don't take TOO MUCH value in deciding a person's character on here by what they post on boards... I would always give them benefit of the doubt, if I were to see them in person or speak to them on the phone at least. I see these boards as a way to make friends, not a outlet to weed out enemies... maybe that's just me.

I mean not to sound like an asshole, don't take this in any wrong way... I like you Bill, brother man; I do.... but be honest, were you really considering coming or did you just put up your initial post here as an oppurtunity to call out Dan?

Rambling off... :laugh:

Steve
P.S and BTW, don't think that I am getting in the middle of this or taking sides.... you guys figure your own shit out. This was just some thoughts that came to mind.

Your absolutely right, Gary... I shut up now.

Steve

Guys I really appreciate your comments on me, but I hope this thread can be used for what it was intended for. Sam is coming to town and there is a HERF to be had. :thumbs: :thumbs:

Hi,

My name is Josh, and I'm a detail. A VERY, VERY UNLIKELY detail....remember Gary? It's possible that I can convince myself that this is a good idea...but not likely at all. Especially not if that A-hole Bill is going to be there.

I kid, I kid....

Yes and I poop on you......Josh, hope you can make it, but could you possibly leave Gary back in CT??????
I am worried he may go through posting withdrawl on the ride down if he is away from the computer that long....

Now I kid, I kid

P.S. Bill and Dan you could always come and sit on opposit ends and stare each other down, and then get into a fistfight when the first guy blinks....I don't think that has happened at a HERF yet, that would be way cool....I remember back in grade school the best way to become friends with somone was to get into a fight first.... :sign:

It is true, you never can tell. I am a wonderful guy on the boards but a truely horrible asshole in person.

What's with this "be honest" shit? ???

I've been wanting to meet Strayvector for quite some time now and this is a great opportunity for me, I have the time and I'm finally getting over being very sick.

cgardan posted the following:

I am 50/50 undecided about a trip to Canada or a celebration here. If I stay I should be able to make it

You may think he's a "great guy to herf with" but I have no interest in associating with him and I want to avoid him when possible since he is definitely not a "good guy" in my book.

To answer your question, I am totally serious about attending this event so long as I don't have to deal with cgardan.

Any other questions?

So why don't you come on down? I haven't seen you since quad state 1. Herfin when Sam visits is always a great time.

Steve

See you boys in a little while. Probably tomorrow, too.

Steve

So who is going tonight????

As always, we had a great time last night. Dan, Dave, Elliot, Rob, Steve, thank you all for coming out, for the great conversations and the wonderful cigars. Hope to see some of you again tonight.
