If we went around telling people to not make negative comments about everything, we wouldn't really have much posting going on here would we :whistling: . If you don't like what people have to say, ignore it! Especially being the new guy and all.
There isn't much going on on this site anyways. Might as well make what little action there is quality instead of useless junk. Making a joke about blowing pete johnson and then everyone else bumping it with "LOLs" and other snide comments is not constructive and has absolutely nothing to do with the cigar itself.
Is that what you want to show people when they come here wanting to find out about the industry? That and hating one grown people with perfectly valid comments because they haven't been on this website as long as you have? I know, no one on here cares if anyone new ever comes onto this site as long as it stays exactly the same for better or worse.
Who cares that I am a "new guy"? Its not like it is difficult to figure out what goes on in this place.
If Pete reads this thread, what is he going to take off of it? "My brand is too popular,... I should really dial that back..." He'd learn that people hate on his cigar brand and sometimes swear off of them over petty shit, not much he can do about that either.
If someone wants to start a thread about all the tatuaje hype where people can go to bitch, that's fine (I enjoyed the antidote thread), whatever make 100 of them, but don't thread jack other people's threads to take jabs at this brand and more specifically the BOTLs that are still excited about the things that are coming.
If so many people don't care about this release, or anything else that Pete Johnson and Tatuaje does, why do they open up the tread just to shit on it?
I don't care about Fuente crap (who is just as guilty of creating hype for their cigars), or the altadis or general stuff... so I don't read threads about it.
I guess they want to voice their opinions like you did about the Fuente crap.
This isn't a thread about Fuente, nor do I go into threads about Fuente to take jabs.
We get it, some people think that Tatuaje's stuff is overhyped. Maybe it is, but if it bugs you, avoid it. All someone does by coming in here and making a joke or some lukewarm or negative comment is bump the threads and draw more attention to it.
No, but you go into threads about Tatuaje and take jabs at Fuente. People are free to voice their opinions about just about everything here.
I don't care if you have those opinions, and I don't care if you make posts or threads about those opinions, but don't come into a thread talking about a new release that people are anticipating and post crap.
I'd be willing to bet that I'd catch crap if I went into a thread about a new rare Opus and expressed my views because it would be unsolicited and inappropriate, but then I'm a noob. A fog can go into thread crap as much as he wants because he's been around.
