Why is it that some people here in the Aficionado posts have the need to feel like they are the oracle of cigar knowledge, or a better cigar lover than others and make other people feel bad for asking questions. Who really cares how many posts someone has. That is in no way a reflection of how long they have been smoking cigars. I have been smoking for ten years, since I was fifteen. I don't feel the need to represent my cigar knowledge in thousands of posts and angry links that make my own image arrogant and "better" than others. Most of these posts are childish in the way they play out. Cigar smokers are suppose to be able to come here to share and discuss their love for fine cigars, instead people are hesitant in trying to learn new things because of the repercussion they may face on the posts. These forums are for everyone, it's too bad that there are a few people who feel the need to ostracize others who want to learn, or share cigar experiences with others. Perhaps we all need to reconsider what cigar smoking is all about. There is an etiquette in every motion of life, and the etiquette that should go along with cigar smoking, is sometimes hard to find within these posts.
I have more posts than you do. Nanny nanny boo boo. And now i have one more.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill
