I promise to not visit any other forum

02-08-2011, 05:19 PM

What a miserable 24 hours.
I joined this other forum. It's a big one.
Within one day, I ran screaming with my hair on fire and jumped off a cliff with a boulder in my hands.
The Bullies! Holy Cow! The know it all's! Holy Cow!
What was I thinking?
And on top of it, I think some of them are mentally challenged. Stupid.
CA is wonderful. I love you. I will not wander. I love you.
Is there some secret ad that only morons can see to lure them?

I'm not kidding. I had to take a pill. Otherwise, the cat would have born the brunt of my anger and I'd be eating cat chili right now.

I can pretty much guess which forum you visited.

Welcome home.

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.

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!

Well, that pretty much says it all.

The review you posted was beyond "bull s#!t"....it borders on mental illness:

Quote:

We landed in Tel Aviv. When I exited the plane, via the movable stairs, the humidity hit me like a Mike Tyson punch. My chin dropped to my chest and I gasped for air. Oh my God! No one told me about this. I would speak to my travel agent upon return.

We made the drive to Jerusalem and checked in at the King David Hotel. I had been there once before in 1965 when my beloved grandfather took me to Israel. It was a different time.
I remember being rocked out of my bed by a minor terrorist attack. For a 15 year old, that's pretty scary stuff.

I went to the room, with my wife, and then we headed down to the bar. I brought the Turrents with me. There was a special area for cigar smokers. That was a big relief.
Unfortunately, it was outside. So sweat was the clothing of the day.

We immediately met some tourists from South Africa. Issy Meyers and his wife, Renee... lovely people.
I brought out my first Turrent and handed one to Issy. He tells me he's never heard of it but after sniffing it and getting a lovely espresso bean and cedar whiff, he tells me he loves me.

We snip the ends with my Xikar back stop cutter. I hand him my Blazer lighter and we toast the foot. Sweat is pouring off my forehead.
My wife, Charlotte and Renee are speaking in German to each other. My wife is from Germany. And they are sipping cocktails. My wife likes to smoke the Acid cigarillos and convinces Renee to try one. Renee approves.

Of course, every word is a complete fabrication. I guess you left off "once upon a time" before you started. Oh, and you ended your post with "Thanks to < vendor >.." When questioned about inconsistencies in your posts and your "sponsor", you said:

Quote:

No. I'm not an employee. I beg online stores to send me a 5 pack of something and I write a review. I'm so poor right now, it's the only way I get cigars. I've been out of work for over 2 years and I turn 61 this week. I'm an engineer in commercial construction. We ended up losing everything and my wife and I are homeless living in my daughter's basement. My wife makes $10 an hour. We are so broke. My self esteem is so bad, that I've gone on to some of the cigar forums where I've been awhile and begged for mercy from the fella's for some sticks...anything. It's just horrifying that I have to do this.

You know, I'm genuinely sorry that times are so tough but maybe cigars are a luxury you should consider putting on hold? Just a thought there.

Another explanation you posted:

Quote:

Yeah, it is being civil. And I'm self promoting on factoidz. You get nowhere in life without aggressively chasing what you want. I'm not writing for 5 stores. But it looks good. I don't write for a magazine. And I haven't played in a working band in almost 2 years. Telling prospective clients that I have these accomplishments makes me look more appealing. Ever put something on a resume that wasn't exactly true?

No, actually I haven't lied on a resume. I guess that's somethign you would be an expert at. For most of us, telling the truth works best.

Now, lets be perfectly clear here. You didn't get "bullied" you got called on the carpet over your tidal wave of BS. New guys do get looked at a little more carefully. When held up to the light of day, you not only admitted that the whole show was a fabricated piece of fantasy, but took umbrage when called on it.

The forum you chose to "test the waters" in, is a wonderful forum with wonderful, generous people that just happen to have a functional BS detector. I'm sorry your flights of fantasy and illusions of grandeur didn't fly, but that's the risk you take when you post BS rather than facts. If I showed up in this forum and started in by telling you guys about the years I spent in the CIA doing wet work in South America, I'd expect to be questioned a bit as well. None of that should be a big surprise to me or any of you guys.

What you do here is your business. When it shows up in someone else's house, it becomes a different story.

I was lucky enough to find this place in the beginning. I did join ICC right after Poof ruined CS. But it didnt feel like home.

I am a member of other forums, but they are football team related.
