You know its funny that I was completely done with this thread, had everything cleared up with members, but than you bring it back up. Why? I have explained my position, it had nothing to do with the forum, it had to do with the thread. Yes, I did try explaining it and I did explain it over pm with a lot of people. Like I have stated numerous times Pete has posted in the pipe forum before and I never had a problem with it. It was his bumping his own statement that bothered me because he got dinged for it and complained about getting dinged for it.

Because I wanted to.

Obstinacy is will asserting itself without being able to justify itself. It is persistence without a reasonable motive. It is the tenacity of self-love substituted for that of reason and conscience.

One of the hardest things in this world is to admit you are wrong. And nothing is more helpful in resolving a situation than its frank admission.

I think everyone has had a chance to say his or her piece. At this point, nothing more good is going to come from this thread. If someone has a compelling reason why this should be re-opened or wants to discuss this further, pm me.

The Pipe Forum is a great place and has its own personality and frequent posters. If people prefer to hang out solely in this little corner of the jungle, they're free to do so. But remember: it's a sub-forum of Club Stogie. The founders and elder statesmen of Club Stogie have spoken about what the site is, what is isn't, and what they want it to be. Now it's time for all of us to listen and to act accordingly.

So let's put this and any "us versus them" mentality behind us, move on, and talk about bulldogs, bent apples, churchwardens, and ketchup-smelling tobacco again.
