Dave, you have a rare talent for finding the right cigar and the right words.
I agree. Leave it to a guy with a three bedroom humidor to bring it all back to the cigars!
I don't have any problem at all with a robust discussion from different perspectives, even when I heartily disagree with some of them, but if it begins to really eat at heart of what the board is for, to wit: great sticks of hand-rolled, rich tobacco, enjoyed at leisure and with appreciation, I think we can all find some common ground if we look hard enough. Tempers will inevitably flare, but I'm really hoping these two fogies will reconsider their decision to deprive us of their company.
One of the things I have found most fascinating since I began enjoying the hobby a year or so ago is the fact you can sit down in a sitting room in a cigar store and hear a lot of highly intelligent, informed and passionate discussion. I have to think that as a group, cigar smokers are more engaged and just plain smarter than the public at large.

Well now, you see. i WAS just joking. some people are too quick to jump the gun like theyre being attacked. Its difficult to convey you're thoughts in text form. I understand that and thats why i'm not going to jump back with an arguement of my own.
But i did really mean it as a joke as in i was always being told that in school.
We all need to chill a little bit :w

it is difficult to convey our thoughts in writing sometimes, that something to keep in mind when we read the posts here, and also when we write our posts so that people don't misconstrue our meanings.aphexacid said:
For me, I'll try to "chill" a little more in the futureI might be over-stepping here since I am new, but this is what I think.
I am a long time message board lurker, I usually get the information I am looking for and leave rather than interacting with the regular board residents. The reason I felt comfortable starting to contribute here is that people at Club Stogie are gentle with new people, and are generous with information, and make you feel comfortable sharing what you know even if it has been covered before and/or is blatantly wrong. It’s sort of like a family in that way and I hope that won’t change.
It’s OK for people to disagree. It’s OK for people to get pissed at each other. There are a lot of divisive issues that people feel very strongly about. It’s OK to talk about them. It’s OK to argue about them. I think it’s actually beneficial to argue about these things. You’ll never learn or grow if you only hear your own argument over and over again.
The thing about family (and if we call our selves Brother and Sister, that’s sort of what we think we are here) is that after you disagree or argue or have a falling out, you get over it, talk about new things, you even find *new* things to argue about. It’s what I think life is all about. Not demanding that other people change their way of thinking (they won’t) but demanding that you find a way to live with your differences.

Dave, as usual an excellent post on what we're really about. Since signing on to CS, despite all the political differences, whether you're on the right or left, whether you're for Bush or against, it is a community based on sharing, support and the love of cigars. I've not been involved on any boards before, but CS to me through the mutual love of cigars has shown me much more than just understanding this common enjoyment of cigars.
To me, CS has also been a relevation about just what people are really all about. It doesn't matter what your religion, politics, race, age or gender, it's simply that people are basically giving, supportive and caring towards one another when given just some basic and mutual understanding. Cigars are only the vehicle by which we show our generosity and caring natures. It is important that we remember how much sharing and inherent goodness there is in all of us. That is our potential and I think everyday, many in CS share and show this to all of us. That's what I think is the fundamental foundation that keeps us together and CS trucking.....
