I guess what really made up my mind to join here was the response to the (highly) misguided Cigar O'Byrnes (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=41373). He was given the benefit of the doubt that his intentions weren't pure evil. In all likelihood he was someone who thought he had a good idea, got very excited about it, but didn't think it through. Regardless of what his intentions were I thought the reaction on this site (vs. others) was indicative of what I was looking for:-)

If you go to my blog, www.katmancross.com, I explore the issues in more detail using explicit words. Although, I do not reveal the forum's name. I don't want to start something.
Check it out.

Never heard of any such thing. Upon arriving at CA (the only cigar forum) I found no need to ponder the thought if there was another forum to talk about cigars.

Ditto

There are other forums?
This was the second I came across ( first was an Aussie one ) and i have no plans to leave. You guys rock.

Hmmm, I started there looking for a fun and friendly community, but was happy once I decided to leave...and this is why I joined CA! Great place to be a part of. :-)

Actually it really isn't a bad idea to visit other forums every once in a while.

Makes us realize how lucky we are to have CA. :-)

that will learn you Phil. :-)

I went over and read that thread, boy was that ugly!:-)

Agreed, Bill!

This place feels like home!!!

I'd like to buy a VOWEL, Pat....an A ?

This is the friendliest and most compassionate board that I have ever experienced. Most of this is due to the guidance of the Team of Eleven. Thank you guys!:-)

copied from that post.......
I've taken your thoughts and have used them and am starting to re think my plan in cretin ways.

This was the best typo ever....and he was NEVER heard from again......3 posts, all in that thread.

I agree with Taltos, they lurk in the background for the most part, but it's RULES and moderation
that keep THIS board sane. But to clarify, the reason the rules can be in the background is that in the main,
the people here are simply a better class of folks. And in addition to that, the same people who are jerks on
other boards watch their lip when they post here, or end up gone.

I prefer to call them Bull$hi+ "Stylings". :-)

Yea, I :-) when I read that. And loki's post, too.

Glad you can call this home.

I really lucked out. When I finally figured out there were such a things as online cigar forums (silly me...don't know why it took me until 2010 to figure that out) I googled "cigar forum" and this was the first one that was listed.

I poked around for about two minutes, signed up and never looked back :-)

Generally when monkeys throw poo, they start the first volley after being called a harsh crowd.....I find.
