It’s not that we’re close minded, it’s that you’re consistently antagonizing people. You’ve been unpleasant to multiple members here since you arrived. How many time do you walk into a brick wall before you stop “moving forward”? You seem to remain oblivious to the fact that you’re in your own here.
Hmmmm, this post, immediately following the advice of the site administrator/owner of the site.....NOT interesting! Truly phuking ignorant, in my opinion. Bombs, pics, and posts aside, you've been given advice from "The Man", and you spit on him. I respect CS based on his history here but I respectfully disagree with his take on this. I'll be slightly interested to see how this turns out. I will say though, your attitude would not work out at a number of B&M's I've hung out at.Hmm... follow the unwritten rules...
Interesting
Thx for the input Floyd. My response was not an attempt to spit on anyone but I was perplexed by his response and I did not want to publicly critique his chosen leadership approach.Hmmmm, this post, immediately following the advice of the site administrator/owner of the site.....NOT interesting!

Brother, you are entitled to interpret my posts any way you want. None of my responses are intended to be “oops I didn’t mean that”, all my posts are thought out and intentional, however, I do try to clarify them to those who appear to misinterpret what I have said. As far as seeking attention, I have only continued this thread in response to those that comment on it. Not looking for attention and I don’t care if people like my posts or not.^^^^^BULLSHIT! Your response was absolutely what you intended it to be. A big SCREW YOU, Rod! Anyone here with half a brain could read it for what it is, especially given the below listed comments from you. Trying to cover it up with some "but I was perplexed.." diatribe is what, passive/aggressive at best?! If you don't want it out in the public eye, use the "PM" function. You won't get the attention you're seeking, but I guarantee he'll respond.
First impressions are lasting ones. The first page of this thread speaks volumes and they are perfectly finished off with your PISS OFF, ROD comment. There's no misunderstanding. There's no "oops, I didn't mean that" comments. You're going to do what you want, everyone else be damned. Not funny! Not cute! And certainly NOT what CP represents. Good luck to ya, I just don't have to watch it.

Also, just a bit of advice. Chill out, it’s just a cigar forum, go smoke a cigar or two.

You beat me too it. I agree whole heartedly.For some members who have been here many moons, this is not just a cigar forum, it is family.
I don't feel that way Michael.... I've always seen people, or groups that identify with some more than others, but never have felt like it was a private club. I saw it with the first group chat years ago, and I see it now with the virtual HERF guys. They all really get to know one another and grow tight. I consider everyone here my friends, but only a select few that I'm seriously close with. CP has changed quite a bit. I still miss the days around 2008 when it was nothing to have hundreds of people on at the same time, but I still enjoy where the fellowship is today. You don't have to try Michael, you do fit in....Over a thank you post? Really?
This seems more like do what we tell you or get lost. I'm trying to come back and fit in again. Socialize and post a few things. It seems like CP has become a private club of sorts. I personally don't feel the love I once felt here. I have such good memories here. I hate not feeling welcome and watching dog piles on people that have an opinion. Y'all have survived a good long while with out me... so I know nobody will miss me if I fade away again. Sad... but reality. I hope everyone can see that people can have a different opinion and still be a good BoTL. And if @Rod feels so strongly about not posting pics of cigars people receive, why isn't it a written rule. I personally think because it's kinda f n stooooopid. Just saying how I feel. Not trying to shove anyone in to a fight.
That last sentiment filled my heart and spirit. Thanks my friend. I love ya man.I don't feel that way Michael....

I find your participation as well as akpreacher here on CP great for the community/family. From someone that doesn’t care if pictures are posted or not, it really just comes down to the question you posed. “Over a thank you post?” One could pose that question to any of the guys that want to dig their heels in over such a simple request for etiquette. Really is being right more important that following the rules written or not? There have been times when I have had my socks knocked off by the likes of Bill or John, and others that I would have loved to post a picture to show gratitude, but I understand why it’s not always a good decision to do so… and for the record I don’t think anyone has told anyone else to “get lost” no one wants that!!! I love the community andOver a thank you post? Really?
