Responsibility of the FOG's.

[ggiese]

Respect is a gift given.
It is usually earned
never mandated.

Respect
can be demanded.
But only by fools.

Expecting respect
is human nature.
Giving it
is human goodness.

Earning respect
takes much time.
Losing it
takes but an instant.

Oh, look - a little birdie flew in!!! sqwaaaakkkkk!!!! :thumbs:

Heya, Dave!!!

Love it when someone attacks spelling and proper English, but can't do either of the above themselves. :whistling:

This wit thing is not really your forte, steve... Sorry, but it ain't working...

George, I never said I wanted to be a FOG. I don't. I know what I know about cigars and learn more everyday. I try to pass it on when I have the chance. I try to meet and smoke with as many people on the board as I can. I try to participate and contribute. I don't want the gigantic, e-penis label of FOG associated with my name. I think I can speak for LC and say he does not want to be a FOG either. Hell, if it makes one turn out like MattR, why would ANYONE want to be a FOG. :laugh: I think you understand what I was getting at though. I was referring to the way he deals with others, the way he participates, and the way he trys to contribute and provide input. I think Patrick does a very good job of mentoring.

As for the 'winkie' comment...I just feel that it is a sign of self-righteous, know-it-all behavior. To me (note, I did not say anyone else, many, or a bunch of us :0 ), it comes off as very condescending. If you don't mean it that way, then very well, I was wrong.

Oh, shut up, Scot - you do to want to be a FOG and you know it - and so does your "peeps" LC... Don't play like you don't. Both of you are VERY jealous because others have the robes and rings and you guys don't...

LOL Love to see who you think wears the robes. :sign:

Ther you go with the winking again George Oh wait,Its after midnight so you are using tomorrows supply :laugh:

 

[CoventryCat86]

LOL Love to see who you think wears the robes. :sign:

Maybe I'm missing something hale, where did George say that? ???

Anyone notice when I ask hale simple questions, he never answers them but instead only responds with yet more baiting and BS?

I'm awfully sorry to see you losing a lot of the respect you earned Dave. I thought your "Squaaaaaaaaaaak" comments that you directed at CigarSarge were in extremely poor taste.

:whistling:

Maybe that's true hale but they're miles ahead of you whatever it is they covet. They've never had their integrity questioned and have always erred on the side of generosity. I saw what you pulled in that pass and to say it was an honest mistake is reeeeeeally stretching. They keep you honest and it galls you so you show up to get payback whenever you can. Isn't there a rock somewhere that misses you being under it?

NA

 

[gtphale]

You go right ahead and keep thinking that Neal.

Damn it boy, if you could handle simple tasks like closing quotes maybe, just MAYBE we could understand you. Your constant struggle with the simplest of tasks is extremely frustrating. I REALLY do wish we could communicate with you but you make it so darn difficult.

Once again, can you please tell us what you're trying to say?

 

[CoventryCat86]

i won't go into the lack of commas....

<snip> if you have issues with "lack of commas" then please point out specifics otherwise you don't have a legitimate point.

celt seems to have selective memory loss. When he's right, he doesn't forget but when he's wrong, well, that's another story.

So please celt, go into the "lack of commas" for us will ya? :laugh:

 

[ggiese]

LOL Love to see who you think wears the robes. :sign:

I don't THINK anyone wears the robes. It's others that feel THEY should be wearing the robes, and are extremely jealous of those that do. And damn it - when THEY wear those robes and rings, they're going to change things around here... ???

I know you HONESTLY BELIEVE noone wears the robes of the FOG. There is noone worth wearing the robes - it's all a joke, right?

<Sorry, Scot - I had to, but it's an inside joke between me and hale - he knows what I'm saying... :whistling: >


...and I want to know WHO THE HELL woke AlexGTP up. He's never around for these scrimmages unless it's his "peeps" involved... :angry:

Nice going, hale - you got him all riled up BEFORE anything was said bad about you.... :0

Yeah! What he said!


When is the next ring and robe order? I gotta send my sizes in.

 

[celt]

Not to be a prick,but epidermis has an r in it. :sign:

yes, isn't it irritating when somebody corrects others all the time, all the while making mistakes?

that was my initial point.

CC likes to correct those he feels need correcting. he expects others to proofread their posts, yet it seems he rarely does so himself.

i simply wanted to point that out.

i am by NO means an english scholar, and i dont claim to be.

if you notice, this is the first time that i have EVER corrected someone here, and i only did it because i feel CC is a bit hypocritical.

yes, i do and will make spelling and grammar mistakes. i am human.

but it is irritating to have someone point out every single typo you make.

i am not trying to steal CC's 'Grammar & Spelling Nazi' armband...just wanting to give him a bit of his own bitter medicine.

i won't go into the lack of commas....

So please celt, go into the "lack of commas" for us will ya? :laugh:

first of all, i haven't been online since 5PM Eastern time, so it would be hard for me to reply to this at 1:35AM.

i am not 'wrong' about your lack of comma usage.

do you wish me to go back and show you where you need to place commas to make your writing flow better?

i am not an english scholar. and as you have already stated: "There are no hard and fast rules for commas"

besides the fact that you will argue every single comma that i add to make your sentences look and sound better for the reader.

much like you argued the 'thin-skinned' correction. you would not believe me, even going so far as to state that your Webster's dictionary backed up your claim.

you give a lot of criticism and do not take it well.

 

[NullSmurf]

As with many of your posts, you don't make a whole lot of sense and you seem to have a desire to just cause more trouble rather than add anything useful when you decide to stick your nose into something. Would you care to expand on what you just posted because I'm not sure what you're trying to say? ???

Jeese CC, chill out. Not every post is intended to insult you. Put a little more thought into it and you'll get it.


Careful, Celt!

If you stop agreeing with him, you could make the marginal membership percentage go up.

 

[celt]

stop agreeing?

when did i start?

How am I not taking criticism well? ??? It's pretty simple, you made a vague criticism about my "lack of commas" which you just admitted here that you cannot back up therefore you are wrong. Your comma placement is a matter or your personal style which is different from mine.

On the contrary, it is you who does not take criticism well.

Just a suggestion, you really should capitalize letters when required. It would make your posts look and flow much better.

Oh and once again my Webster's dictionary which is "Webster's II, New Riverside University Dictionary" with a copyright date of 1984, 1988 and 1994 does not have "thin-skinned" in it. If you'd like me to photocopy the page, scan it and post it, I'd be more than happy to at your request.

I guess you and I are just different, I don't find it at all "irritating" when someone points out my errors or when I post wrong information, I very much appreciate the input as it makes me a better person. As I mentioned earlier, I very much appreciated Jim K's information because I learned something from it. I still have very little respect for him because he refuses to apologize to me for a very nasty statement he made about me last December when he was dead wrong. It might be nice if he'd apologize but he refuses to.

As with many of your posts, you don't make a whole lot of sense and you seem to have a desire to just cause more trouble rather than add anything useful when you decide to stick your nose into something.

Please don't be obnoxious with your "chill out" crap.

I asked you to expand on what you posted because I along with others cannot make sense out of what you're trying to say. This is not a new problem with your posts around here smurf. While they may make sense to you, many times they leave others scratching their head asking "What on earth is he trying to say now?"

So would you be so kind as to please explain what your original point was because I cannot understand what you were trying to say.

I put your post through the bullshit translator nully and here's what came out:

"Look at me! Look at me! I'm talking and I can't shut up."

NA

 

[Matt R]

"predictability" you're the poster child for that around here. Why do you continue to attack and try and start trouble? This is typical behavior with you and you just can't seem to help yourself.

pot...... kettle........

BTW.. I wear the ring around here and don't you forget it...

 

[Ginseng]

Yikes.
I was just at the optometrist for my annual eye exam. If I'd known you were going to post something like that, I'd have asked for them to be gouged out. :sign:

BTW,
What do you see when Matt turn around?
