I <3 you guys!

Someone once told me that my job required me to leave all of my friends behind and not to speak to them, I can’t do that. You guys are the reason that I’m here, I’m lucky to have most of you as friends.

Seriously.

Awkward group hug in three, two...one!

There's no true hug smiley, what gives?

Darrell, I have been considering stepping up after reading Chip's post this morning. Is it impossible to go over there to help the newbies and maybe mitigate some of Jon's actions and still keep friends here?

Unfortunately, it is impossible. If you have never taken any of my posts as fact, please take this one. If you decide to question what I’m saying and pursue the position, it was great talking with you – as you will be forbidden to come here again.

I assume you mean that Jon is forbidding his mods from here? Because we aren't going to forbid anyone from doing anything.

RED LIGHT!!!! STOP!!!
Please correct me if I am reading this wrong, but there will be absolutely no "forbidding" anyone here at the Asylum who just lends a helping hand at Puff.

I read it as Jon was prohibiting people who chose to be mods there from being active participants here...

Thats how i read it

Kelly, I think Darrell is saying that Jon expressly forbid him to come to this site. I know he mentioned to me in a PM the other day that he was going to have to discuss this with all of the mods.

Donnie is correct.

Jon forbid me to come to CA and to talk to any of my friends here. He said he wanted a “hardcore” mod team with no ties to any other cigar board or it’s members.

I said **** that.

And just HOW can he do that, does he own your computer? Does he have spy over here? makes no sense to me, glad you quit even if you are mean.

I'm sure he has spies over here and even his own account.

Darrell glad to have you here. Very sorry you got put into a position to make that kind of decision.
You went from a "mean d" to "Big D" in my book!
Really good to have you around.

Well that may be true but he does not have access to the user name "real name" it would be his word against anyone else. that is BS.

Awww... it's group therapy time at the asylum!!

I was going to be all witty and snipe at Darrell for being all squishy and such. But he's come to expect that from me, so I won't.

It's been said before: Came for the cigars, stayed for the friendships. This is truly one of the most amazing groups of people I've encountered during my time on this planet. And while there certainly are some things you should not do, there are no rules against being different or voicing an opposing opinion.

And thank God for that, because by those standards most of us wouldn't be allowed.

It seems tricky... how many people around are as kind as Tom (icehog) & Dave (Klugs)? Think about that, then think about helping manage a forum that could allow itself to scramble their passwords (not even having the decency to ban them outright).

Jon's actions are the polar opposite of brotherly, and that's what (in my opinion) this hobby is about.

I guess Chip could step up and be a mod over there, since he is not registered here.

that's real cool of you D.
cheers to ya!

that place is for the fishes.

Hey D, sorry I couldn't warn you earlier.

Glad your here Darrell
