That's a defeatist attitude.
For one we are awaiting dsposition of this thread. It it were me I would not have posted this thread, and in absence of any other input I would have agreed with The Master. But having read the thread I'm taking a no harm, no foul attitude, but I doubt that the last word has been said. SOrt of like:

I dont think there is anything wrong with asking the question, as it is (1)cigar related,(2) it was worded very clearly, and (3) anyone here that is not religiously inclined probably would not have a care either way imho.[snapback]235607[/snapback]

However, based on the premise that preembargo was entitled to his say, Aaron, you have every right to express your religious views as well (as relating to this thread and cigars).
Frankly sometimes I cringe at the religious nature of some of the posts here, especially of the "Sending this prayer your way" variety. But it seems Christianity is the predominant religion on this board and it's accepted, so I roll with it. Definitely nothing to get your panties in a wad over.
This is a sticky area, because in the United States, where most of us are from and where this site is hosted (AFAIK), we have free speech.
Hoewever for all intents and puposes this is private property, and Rod can ban anyone he wants for whatever he wants. I'm no legal expert, so I wonder how much Federal Rule applies to this board.
Whew, long winded. Feel free to ignore.
