I originally came here with good intentions. I came to discuss and learn cigars. I posted my opinions about my sports team with valid evidence to back up my opinions.
Then one person decides to provoke an arguement by resorting to childish tactics by correcting my grammar (as if neglecting to use a apostrophe makes my statements inaccurate), calling me names (is this elementary school? grow up), and asking his friends to join in and support his arguement. I was nothing but polite and courteous to those who stayed on topic and refrained from trying to bring another person down and provoke an arguement. I thank those who behaved the way they should, as an adult.
Just because its the internet and you can say random bullshit without having to deal with someone face to face doesn't mean you should. Why does a dog lick his balls? Because he can. Doesn't me he should, but he does anyways. So go ahead, keep treating new comers with no respect, provoke an arguement, flame them for not registering sooner. Hope it makes you happy, cause its definitely not making the others feel good about themselves. Stooping to personal attacks with no facts to back it up over the internet about someone you never met. Makes you feel tough, doesn't it? In the end your childish attitude is just preventing the community from growing and expanding, and it severely ruins the integrity of the website. If this continues the site will slowly crawl to halt and will just exist for forum trolls and whores to continue using the websites their tool for superiority. Its a shame to see a community with such potential turn out to be such a disappointment.
As for Rod, I doubt you wanted to suspend me or thought I deserved it. I clearly didn't do anything wrong except respond to personal attacks. Yet I had a group of over 10 senior site members who disliked me because one of their friends didn't like me. And the majority rules. As admin you had to do what makes the most people happy, regardless of whether they were right or wrong. Its polotics. But you should under no circumstance join in with them and start flaming. Your a site leader, people are supose to look up to you. You are supose to be fair to all, and help those who need help. But like a sterotypical forums moderator with an ego bigger than the rest and a maturity levelof a 13 year old, you abuse your power to stroke your ego. Shame is your using Invision Power Boards and cPanel, which makes it extremely vulnerable to SQL injections which could allow me to take control of the entire site. Yes, as I stated I'm a web-designer, developer, and networker.
I thought this website would be different from others I use. Figured smoking cigars is a topic for mature people, thus the people useing it will be mature. Guess I was wrong though.
And I know none of you will even take to heart anything that I just said. In one ear out the other. You will just quote this and reply with childish tactics thus proving me right furthermore. In the end your still just another douche bag on the internet who is trying to find some sort of social acceptance. Not capable of compassion, understanding and acceptance. Just another pathetic low life scumbag.
In the end I get the last laugh, because I'm the only one with morals. Enjoy your website.
Now quote this and post your stupidest response and act as if it made sense.
