As to my earlier comment, I admit it wasn't the tactful way of saying anything, and you are probably right that others could have said it and in a different manner. But nothing like watching people you respect being talked to like they were some $0.05 crack whore looking for a fix.
I don't know who this guy is, or where he came from, but on top of receiving a gift from someone and making clear it wasn't enough and felt the need to share how unethical he is asking for other gifts (Not to mention they weren't just some $2 cigars), he stepped up to the plate, insulting some of the most respected members in this community, slung insults wherever he felt man enough to sling them. But that, where I come from is more then enough reason for a beating you'd never soon forget.
And the cherry on the sh*t Sundae was this comment on his BST thread.
I don't know about you good al folks, but I am having a blast here, ty CP!
In my short time on CP if seen people removed from my Mecca for much less, but never ever have I seen one break off a chunk of E-Penis like this guy has without getting a verbal lashing from several established members.
I am still quite the noob, and I will apologize for the statement I made before for being purely untactful.
