I'm trying to get caught up on all my CP reading and have noticed that there must be some urban legened around here about what constitutes being constructive.
Regardless of how long you've been here, saying "I'll get the popcorn!" or offereing to get any of the associated condiments or libations does not make you cool, superior, in-the-know, a FOG, or a BOTL. If someone is misdirected, why not point them in the correct direction rather than being such an irritant?
I know it's true that hustlers come around here from time to time. Yes it's true that according to the CP etiquite, it's rude to try to sell something on your first post. However, this is predominately a hobby for men - and men are to F*ing macho to ask for help or read directions. So, why would you expect them to know all the rules before posting for the first few times - I'm sure you didn't.
Regarding new folks trying to sell cigars....it IS possible that someone who doesn't know anything abut cigars might come to *gasp* a forum completely comprised of cigar smokers and enthusiasts to try to sell cigars.
So next time someone asks a question that's been asked a million times or wants to know where El Dentes come from, how about politely telling them how we do things around here. You might have missed this because you were too busy holding your crotch trying not to cream you jeans waiting for someone to get flamed......one of the things we do around here is try to uphold our title as "the friendliest online cigar community on the 'net!" So, why not pitch in and do your part by adding to the community instead of yearning to alienate someone as soon as they make the slightest error?.
Cheers,
Dixie
