And, for the record, I take bubble baths on a regular basis - anybody have a problem with that?

OMG!!! Now I will have this image stuck in my mind forever!!!!!!

Greg? Yea he's OK. Much nicer to talk to in person. He made me understand what he wanted the pipe forum to be, and what he saw happening in there that he didn't like (this was all at MMH). I have corrected my ways in that forum, although I do plan to get back in there sometime soon when I get back to the pipe. You pipers are lucky to have him as a mod, for all his anger and lack of tolerance for BS.

Funny thing is, he is probably pissed at this thread seeing as it's in the pipe forum and mostly just useless banter.

Oh look! I posted in the pipe forum LOL

So what's up with all the whining, crying/combativeness down here lately? Sad thing is mostly its not the postwhores doing it but the pipe smokers. Jesus, if you want to be a prick then take it to PM; that way you can impress yourself and no one else gets involved. Venting a little frustration is one thing but strutting around in cyberspace like Johnny the dork/would-be-hero hiding behind his PC just makes you look like a dweeb.

Here's how I understood it. Majority of the people who post in this area wants to avoid, as much as possible, non pipe related post. There are other area in the jungle for that. A few times is fine. A little annoying, but can be tolerated. But when you see the same thing over and over again, it gets old real quick. I'm sure you will get tired of seeing post about Partagas Shorts or Bolivar PC question. Different people react to this differently. Other just accept it, other leave the board altogether but some choose to confront the problem head on in the hopes of fixing it. Some are very civil about it, a few won't be.

Calling us dork and dweebs doesn't help either.

Bonngoy, you know I like and respect you bro and maybe I can say it a little more eloquently than the Hatter.

Part of ClubStogie (to me anyway) is the ongoing spirit of learning and friendship that we try and foster here. To me that's why threads about Party Shorts and Boli PC's never get old because even though I have all the info I need about the two, others don't. And I see it as my way of giving back to CS by helping out the newer guys and guiding them where I can. And I guess to those that say they're tired of seeing those threads, well then I guess those are the people that have quietly faded away from the board. Its sad no doubt, but the nature of this board is about camraderie and learning and good natured fun. Hanging with your buddies if you will.

The thing that has been discouraging to me lately is the almost voracious "psuedo-elitism" I see coming from some members of the pipe community lately. Not all mind you but I see it happening and it makes me sad. Some say that they don't like seeing the fluff posts... hell I was the biggest PostWhore when I first started up on CS as well. If it wasn't for those patient FOG's that helped guide me through I might not be here today. But because of their wisdom, guidance and understanding I've gotten to a place where I'm able to help others.

I guess I'm just worried that the people that take such extreme exception to newer guys and their questions will ultimately lost sight of what ClubStogie is all about. Friendhsip and cigars.

Well stated, thanks. In true IHT form, I shall now close this thread. Y'all can get back to your pipes now.
