You're right so wise one. Noob bashing is alot like clubbing baby seals.

just an observation Binder...but...you kind of post an example everytime you post.....

noob's read this.....I think some may consider this to be a hateful post........it doesn't exactly put a halo on your head

I will agree that Binder is probably not a BOTL. He now grows his own cigars so, we may have to consider that a Papa of the Leaf.
Keep an open mind with Binder... he grows on you like fuzzy stuff grows on cigars. Then it's up to you to decide wether the stuff is mold or plume.

Thanks En4cer71...I think...

POTL? Makes me sound old Stogie. I'll stick with Cigar God!

I'm still waiting for my hateful post..."Noobs Read This" is humor and I don't attack anyone individually. I'm addressing a small but annoying group of people. I use humor to point out things that tick a lot of us off. Overall I have received far more compliments on that post than complaints.

You might try your own advice!!! How many times have I seen someone post "Wait til BinDer sees THIS" You earned this reputation with your abrasive comments.

When you have NOT been so condescending to noobs, you post mostly good information, why not just ignore posts you deem stupid?

Awww what's a matter Rick, did you get bashed once? You'd think a smart seal would run from a man carrying a club.

In fact that might be my new motto..."Speak loudly and carry a big stick."

My apologies to Teddy.

DingDongShorthair did get it right though. I was referring to his origional quotes from another thread:
Hey, SHORTHAIR where's your shop?? What's the address and phone number and web address???

This outta be good

http://www.topshelfcigarshoppe.com
The phone number is 706-860-8628
The address is:
4276 Washington Road
Suite 5
Evans, GA 30809
Come on down and I'll treat you to cigar and a cup of coffee.
Would you like my account numbers at Altadis USA, General Cigar, Ashton, Perdomo, Torano, CAO, Indian Tabac, Arango, HJ Bailey, Music City Marketing, FGT Enterprises, Zippo, Colibri, Savenelli, Lane Limited, etc, too wiseguy?
Call me tomorrow at the shoppe. I'm usually there about 7:30 AM I slip out at 9:00 to make my bank deposit but I'm there until 8:30PM everyday.
Don't call between 10AM-11:30Pm tomorrow the General Cigar rep will be there during that time.

You don't know how bad I like to meet you right now you internet tough guy.

Do you need me to email pictures? I haven't finished the website because I want pictures of the store in the web site and the store still isn't finished. But if you doubt my stores existance you are more than welcome to come see the place. And if you ask whether or not to leave the cello on or take it off I will politely and sincerely answer your question and not belittle or tell you to go look it up or call you noob!

...come in here dear boy, have a cigar, you're gonna go far.....

don't waste too much more time responding to this guy shorthair.......he has already had a thread pulled today....this is just a guy that is trying to pi$$ everyone off and stir things up within the boards......like Idesign said earlier today in 007's thread that was yanked........let's just talk about something else.......

One helluva war, here. What is it--the "Noobs" versus the "Vets."

In other words: [Those who are excited to learn, found this website, located the link on the left navigation menu that said "Forum" and just started clogging threads with questions that have been redundantly answered] versus [Those who have no patience for people who are unresourceful].

If you found the link to "Forum," then you can find the link to Cigar 101--mind you it's animated and quite distinguishable--below the navigation menu that contains information for beginners, from seasoning a humidor to removing cellophane.

All rookies get "mistreated" in Major League Baseball, at any workplace, and just about anything else in which experience is the most valuable asset--why would a lifestyle like cigar smoking be different?

I've been around these forums for a week. Anyone who find's BinDerSmokDat's comments offensive is taking this discussion group way too seriously. How are any comments made by the more seasoned members hateful? I haven't seen insults, profanity, racial or sexual bias, or anything hateful--that wasn't tongue-in-cheek--posted by any of the long-time members.

For the love of God, these "Be nice to noobs" and "Lost etiquette of cigar smoking" and any post of the like are insanely redundant--and they seem to be on top of every page.

What's my take? Let it fizzle, and avoid dignifying these claims with responses. BinDer, you've said more than enough, they've showed no evidence that you're hateful, so I'd just leave it alone.

It's a case of whiners. First the issue was whether to take cello off, then it was "be nice to noobs," and now it's whether or not shorthair really has a cigar shop.

Sounds like a few of us are fishing for argument.

Next week the noobs will be upset when the regular guys go other places to post.

SPY ease up. I can't tell if your trying to prove somthing or just be a ???????

You are what you repeatedly do, Therefore excellence is not an act but a habit.

ask for a poll on that one Jerry.......this thread would become a permanent fixture at number one

At the rate it is going, it will be closed before it hits 50 posts.

"Mad "Which cutter do you prefer? I have snipped all 3 of the cigars I have ever smoked with a V cutter and IMHO it produces the best smoke." Mad

Hmmmmh I think you should try a guillotine. Not the cutter but the 18th century method of execution. There you go just stick your head in...pull this...Voila!"

-From your "Noobs read this" post

I wouldn't consider that a very loving comment, but at the same time it isn't directed at anyone specific.

Shorthair - I just gained a whole new respect for ya. Nice post.

Jerry - how ya been? How is the wine coming? My current batch of blackberry is actually going to be decent I think.

Hard work may pay off eventually but laziness always pays off now.

No I'm not an Internet Tough Guy and yes I am trying to make a point in all this.

Every time someone pokes fun at someone "Noob" there is a certain group of people who feel that they have to give some long winded explaiation about how mean someone else is.

Read your own posts. You are attacking the person who is trying to interject some fun and obvious humor into this forum.

The "jokesters" are just ribbing people in good fun. They are never hateful or intentionally humiliating to anyone. I caught and still catch a bunch of flak from these guys.

I laugh my A$$ off at most of what they say. Usually turns out that they are correct and they all ways give me the answer to what I am looking for.

You on the otherhand are far more forcefull and offensive to them then they were to the other person.

Who cried out your name for protection or asked for your assistance.

To the best of my knowledge most everyone here is over 18 and male. Can't they fight their own battles? Do they need "Super Noob" protector to swop in and save the day.

You are the ones who need to mind your own business.

I've been jumped on all over this board. I laugh at all of it.

I just think you need a sence of humor and need to cool off. Jeeze, you want me to come to your shop for a fight and the other guy say's I "HATE" you several times toward another member! You guy's sound like you want to use real clubs on people! I have never acted that way toward anyone on this board. Nor, would I ever.

I have nothing against anyone in this forum. If my writting sounds angry, I assure you it is not.

Just look at they way you act and attack people without provocation and maybe reconsider your own attitude and comments toward other people. You also are NOT the self appointed God's of the CA Forum.

??What thread of mine are you saying was pulled. I did not know I had a thread anywhere to be pulled.

Shorthair: Nice post and you certainly got me on that one about the shop. Score one or two for Shorthair. I'll let you cool off awhile before I come in for coffee.

You don't keep any rat poison around do you???

But, I still say that you are the one who need to lighten up. You are acting like the Internet Tough Guy. I'm just trying to make a point and have some fun.

In 1917 Lewis Burwell Puller, then a young Cadet, left the Virginia Military Institute at the end of his freshman year to enlist in the US Marines, saying simply, "I want to go where the guns are!"

maybe this thread will continue on.......now that we all have it out of our systems Let's move on

I guess I am someone here that really stayed quiet for the first several months on the board and got to know the members. The guys that are criticised the most are usually the one's giving the best information even though they may throw a little jab in here or there. As with any other forum, it wouldn't be much fun if there weren't some controversy from time to time......keeps things interesting. Be good!!!
