Brotherhood

:) I think, hopefully, that I missed this one. I have been too busy smoking tasty cigars and trying out some new pipe tobacco that ShawnP turned me on to.

Hope everything works out and that all concerned parties sort out whatever needs sorting.
 
Very true Dave.

I just read the thread this morning and it sucks ass when something like that happens. There is a lot of misinterpretation that can (and does) occur when discussing topics that are definitely better discussed in person so inflection and expressions come into play. I hope both come back.

Well said bro

Dave,

Good post - nice thoughts - but, this is one of those where it seems that there must be something going somewhere between a couple of members that I must have missed.

Hopefully, everything will work out.

One thing about having a disagreement with someone that lives in cyberspace, you won't run into them in the grocery store. It should be pretty easy to keep any sort of diagreement from getting too personal or too mean to ignore.

Like the man said - take a break, smoke a good one, and stay away from the post of the one that offended you for a little bit.

I agree; thanks Dave. I've been on many forums in the past where there was just too much BS and not enough good will to go around. I've got a feeling I'll be on here for a long time! I hope the same for all the new friends I've made in the last month.

We found this place in our quest for cigar knowledge. Pretty cool. Information and knowledge we could never hope to gain by ourselves. This sharing creates the bonds of brotherhood. (Sisterhood as well) Cigars are our common bond but much more than cigars take place here.. We are all very different people with very different lives. Respecting each others uniqueness while sharing ourselves beyond cigars here is the true test of Brotherhood.

Brotherhood means feeling bad occasionally when we “go to far”. Those with the right spirit make amen’s in their own way and we move on. Brotherhood means not always saying what you would like to say due to a concern for others. Brotherhood is giving of ourselves without expectation of gain but because it benefits others or the community.

Club Stogie is one of, if not, the most active cigar board on the internet. Amazing amounts of interaction take place here in a relatively friction free environment. Speaking as one of the zookeepers, it’s a pleasure being amongst such a civil group of gorillas (adults). When things come up they get dealt with mostly by the community. When a Mod has to do something it’s normally associated with a new person not understanding our lil pleasant place or a commercial troller.

However, conflict is inevitable. People have strong views on many things. The pot boils and we all say things we wish we hadn’t. When it happens, step back take a deep breath and maybe smoke a good one. Things pass. Change is inevitable. This forum has changed much in the short time since I joined. Some may long for the past. Some have left, many have joined. It is what it is. Which in my opinion is…..

A special place, thanks to everyone who makes it so.

This should be a must-read post for anyone who wants to participate here in Club Stogie.

There are plenty of other blogs out there to rant about politics.

We came to this one for our love of cigars! Lets keep it that way!

Well stated, Dave. This is a Brotherhood/Sisterhood.

We can disagree and it can even get ugly but in the end a true "gorilla" settles it in a dignified manner and with respect. If you can't treat people with respect in the end (even in heated debate) then you don't belong here and you can get the hell out now. :bx

There.... I feel better. ;)
 
Dave... Spot-on!!!

I doubt whether a one of us hasn't posted something that we regretted later (I speak from experience). But the non-judgemental spirit of CS continues to prevail!
