geez, i'm sorry to start such a earthquake on this board.  i've wanted to join for a while and never got around to it until today. i was just trying to post something that would seem current and interesting.....  guess i didn't make such a great first impression.  i won't post any more until i've been a member for a while.  this wasn't exactly the 'welcome' i had hoped for.

Lou, our apologies.  We are happy to have you hear.  Just sometimes we are wary of new folks who jump in with both feet.  Glad to have you aboard and Welcome!  As for me... :shamebag: I'll wear this for a bit.

My subscription just ran out. I'll have to catch Akira's. I'd love to read this.

Lou,

You are more than welcome here, trust me!  Feel free to post away!  Get into the mix and let us know who you are!  We can be jerks without a doubt, but PLEASE don't let our somewhat sophomoric behavior run you off so quickly.  You didn't start the earthquake, we did.  Believe it or not, having known these guys and gals for going on a couple of years now, I can honestly say that this is the most friendly place I've found on the net.  I know more about some of these folks than people I've met face to face and call friends.

Get to know us a little more before you make any hasty judgments.  We really are a good bunch, even that Cordell fellow.  We've just been through some troll issues and have had some high dollar passes go missing.  I hope you can understand our defensive nature.  Take it all with a grain of salt.  Hang out and have some fun with us.  If anyone gives you a hard time from here on out, they'll have to deal with me!

Sincerely,

Dave

Sorry Lou. Please accept my apology. Cordell was very hasty with his crude remark. I am so easily influenced by him that I jumped on board behind him. Really, welcome and rest assured I am going to stay away from Cordell in the future. He has got me in  trouble so many times that I have come to believe that my job is "to hold the bag."   :lmao:  :lmao:

Don't mind Bob.  According to our latest polls, 4 people think he's the biggest a-hole on the site. :biggrin:

Lou,

I think to understand the reaction to this thread, it would be helpful to know that the person who wrote the letter to the editor you referrred to is a member here at Cigar Geeks.

Your opening remarks in this thread "... what the hell did that guy (Dearborn Heights) say to get everyone so pissed off??? "  seemed kind of inflammatory to me, and somewhat of an rebuke of Christopher62.  Perhaps others had the same reaction.

Then you'll be the ONLY one on this forum who doesn't!  :biggrin:

Welcome, Lou.  I'm sorry to see you had a rocky introduction to the Geeks.  Don't worry about that though since we have the collective attention span of a gnat and will soon forget all abo...

Seriously, there is no flaming on this site but there is frequent lively discussion which sometimes gets a little out of bounds.  No one is ever seriously hurt and I can only recall one person marching off in a full bore huff.  And they took offense at comments about Chelsea Clinton, of all people.  Most times all you have to do to stifle an argument is toss in a verbal rabbit and everybody goes hounding off after it.  Gives a new meaning to ADHD.  Don't be shy.

Again, welcome.   :welcome:

Gotta agree with Les here...remember the saying about "sometimes you don't get a second chance to make a first impression" is very true here.  Not having a history about you...how you interract, how you joke, how you talk, how you think...what you're all about will tend to raise antennaes not only here but anywhere.  Guess it's on you Lou to take another stab at making another impression.  People here are pretty decent and accepting but at the same time protective of a place they call home.

Welcome Lou!  Sorry for the jump to conclusions that happened.  We're normally better than that.
