Chris and Tom have some stuff to talk about. Lets just clear some space and let them handle it, public or private as they chose.
Threadjack? How about a one sided bitch fest that should have been handled in PM. You're memory isn't quite right on the Cohiba's and the pass issue arose from what "MSRP" means and to my mind, it ain't what they charge at Casa Fuente.I think the whole flippin' board has been on edge lately, and everyone should take some deep breaths and calm the F down. Not everything that isn't clear is meant as a backhanded insult, for chrissake.....
DesertRat, your post clearly shows that you either (A) haven't read the rules and don't give a damn, or (B) read the rules and still don't give a damn. Rod has asked SPECIFICALLY for crap like that to stop. Bad form.
One opinion - B.B.S.
My jaw hits the floor. I've kept my mouth shut about you, Tom, for a long time. But I can't keep quiet when I see you writing crap like this. You really believe that statement? My experience with you proves otherwise;
1) Not owning up on your end of the box split (Cohiba Piramides). I sent you the half box and nothing from you.
2) Bitching and complaining about me not agreeing to your P/T's in my Newborn Pass. A Padron 80th doesn't equal a BBMF... sorry Tom. The rules for the pass were simple... just wait for my approval before sending it out and you didn't follow the rules. And then wanting me to settle it out of public view.
I have had some good experiences with you previously Tom and enjoyed our "friendship." I don't know what happened to you. But you need to get off the soapbox and take off your Sheriff's badge. You've got no right to tell people how to act when you don't practice what you preach. :whistling:
Sorry to all the others if this is considered a "threadjack."
Don't back down now, you bastard.
Was it really necessary for him to call me a thief in thread?Don't back down now, you bastard.
Ummm...

Four minutes before your first post. Not exactly backing down. Also:
3.) No flaming or name calling. Flaming is when you opening slam another member for no reason. We do not tolerate any sort of flaming, name calling or personal threats.
Was it really necessary to call him a "bastard"?

Yes, the bastard comment is completely warranted.
Mind you own business, Tom......
Tell you what, Rod. After thinking it over, I think you should just permaban me and call it good. I don't take threats or public personal insults well, and frankly, I might not respond with a lot of decorum next time someone calls me a thief without any evidence to the contrary. Your sticking up for him really speaks volumes. Why let the other side be heard, the facts known.....??
That way, next time you're over at your buddy Chris' house for a BBQ, you guys can hoist a drink and have a good chuckle about me being banned.
B.B.S.
Don't forget - I'm not the one who thread crapped a personal insult into someone else's thread, completely off topic.Don't be a martyr, Tom. Settle this like a man.
You're right - being called a thief in public really pissed me off. A lot.I don't think Rod stood up for Chris Tom. He just asked you to think about what you post.
As a matter of fact. I'm quite surprised. Everyone including Rod is standing back, not posting a bunch of schoolyard crap, waiting for you and Chris to work this out and see where it goes.
You need to go take a breather it seems.
Tom and Chris I consider you both friends as such I would ask if I can mediate this to get a resolution that would work for both of you.
I've hung out with both of you and know that you both are stand up guys!
Thank you, Tony - I'd appreciate a cooler head because I sure don't have one now. I'll get you a very detailed PM this afternoon, and forward the relavent PM's from home tonight.Tom and Chris I consider you both friends as such I would ask if I can mediate this to get a resolution that would work for both of you.

I'm happy to. I thought it best if I could find the PM's that went along with this so I wouldn't have to guess at the exact dates, exactly what was said, what I sent, etc. I can't do that from work, but whatever the "group" thinks is best, I'm glad to share.Tom why don't you explain your side of this?

I have nothing to hide.
Edited to add - I also want to apologize to the group for going off in thread. His accusations are completely untrue, and to be called a "thief" in the open really pissed me off. Not an excuse for what happened, but rather an explanation.
I'd tried to work through Chris' and my disagreement in the past, but clearly he doesn't feel we reached resolution. He had blocked my PM's and made any contact impossible. Why he chose to air this in this manner is frustrating, and disappointing.
At this point, I want to be very sure of the facts, times, what was sent back and forth, etc. so the facts of both exchanges are crystal clear. I don't want to try to remember something that happened three years ago and make a mistake, only to be accused of trying to hide the truth when I have nothing to hide.
I'd prefer to take Tone-NY up on his offer and let him mediate it, but I'll accommodate the wishes of the forum and do what everyone thinks is best.
As I've said, I have nothing to hide and nothing to apologize for, other than the unfortunate outburst earlier.
Thanks - B.B.S.

Martyr, my ass. Chris is the one who blocked my PM's not the other way around. Next time, you might want to hear both sides of an issue before you take sides.
We live and die by out reputation, and I think everyone on these pages would say I'm a completely stand up guy......with one exception. Curious, don't you think....??
Chris, you KNOW that's not true. The events, as I recall them went something like this:1) Not owning up on your end of the box split (Cohiba Piramides). I sent you the half box and nothing from you.
2) Bitching and complaining about me not agreeing to your P/T's in my Newborn Pass. A Padron 80th doesn't equal a BBMF... sorry Tom.
