Vitasea

[NullSmurf]

Vitasea, you took his credibility argument privately to me, a relatively disinterested member here, so you've no doubt taken it to others. While its bad form to post the contents of a PM in a public forum, I don't know of any inhibitions to answering one publicly.

I don't care, sir.

Let me summarize my position. When I joined this forum, everyone here was on equal footing with me. Many of those who post regularly have gained credibility, some have lost. A few have earned my trust and respect, some have lost it. You sent sample cigars representing what you have to offer, attempting to prove your product as credible. YOU SENT COUNTERFEIT CUBAN CIGARS to at least two members here who have earned my trust. If you were actually trying to send out your best sticks to prove yourself, you're too ignorant to earn "trusted source" status. The manner in which you shipped them, counterfeit or otherwise PROVED to me that you're not ready to be a vendor. Simply put, you're FUCKED.

​

From your posts, you either lapse in and out of lucidity, or you are a TROLL and are shooting for the longest TROLLING string in the history of this board. I think I'm coming down on the latter. If Rod doesn't ban you soon, I'll be putting you on ignore. I no longer find your babble amusing.

I completely disagree that it is "bad form" to post unsolicited PMs from trouble makers publicly.

People with questionable motives and sketchy character like vitasea think that their bad behavior and nasty attitude are shielded when they communicate in PMs instead of posts.

If someone sends me a PM starting trouble, being a general slimeball, insulting or slamming me, you can bet your life I'm going to post it and I will continue to do so for as long as I post on boards like this.

PMs are a written record, if you can't back statements you make in PMs or think that just because you made your insulting, trolling, flaming statements in a PM rather than a post, then maybe you shouldn't have put it in writing in the first place.

I agree with Bill. You go to Pm in an attempt to settle something discreetly but when the situation can't be resolved privately or if the situation has never been discreet to begin with (as is the case with vitasea) then posting the pm is appropriate.

When the same PM is copy/pasted to what seems to be at least a dozen members, is it still "private?"

Vitasea, if you are reading this, do yourself the favor and don't keep trying here. You are nto going to be welcomed (right or wrong!) in this community. There are places where you will fit it in, and where people are not allowed to rally around the community and protect the less experienced.

I don't disagree, Bill. The high road for me is not attempt to rationalize. I need to watch my wording so that I don't come across as trying set the bar for others.

The PM from Vitasea was an obvious cut and paste as an attempt to rally support. I'll bet he spammed quite a few others.

It looks like he's already been banned, so I don't think we'll have to deal with him and his unsolicited pm's anymore.
