Stepping out from the sidelines.......
When a new guy, such as yourself, joins a BB like this one, the FOGs are willing to take them under their wings and school them in the knowledge that they have learned from others. By a person like Vitasea, coming on this board and attempting to sell cigars within his first couple of posts, the FOGs will defend there "young" by calling him out. If they did not call such a person out, we would be spending alot of money on what we believe wold be true ISOMs. I personally do not have the knowledge so I must rely on the teachings of the FOGs.
I have always admitted that Vitasea's cigar that he sent me was a very good tasting cigar and I enjoyed it. No way will I spend that type of money on cigars that the majority of FOGs here say are not real ISOMs.
I do not think it is "mature FOGs" jumping on the bandwagon... I do believe it is an attempt to keep this board honest. There are plenty of guys who advertise there product here and do not receive a backlash.
My newbie-to-newbie advice would be to just sit back, watch and learn. You do not want to get caught in the crossfire of this. Rob K has already stepped to the sidelines, I suggest you do the same.
Now I am going back to the sidelines to watch......
A disservice ?? You have no idea what you are talking about. The FOGs are the ones that keep this board going. Vitasea, yourself or me could leave tomorrow and never come back and we would never be missed. If a FOG was to leave and never come back, what goes with him is the wisdom he would have been able to pass on to other Newbies.YelloCello said:If you guys want to play Lord of the Flies and make Vitasea the pig, I think you're doing the community a disservice. Yeah the FOGs are protective, but the mature FOGs are the ones jumping on this dumb bandwagon and harrassing this guy for their own entertainment.
