Dunno I think the length of this thread theatens those who don't agree. They feel, for some reason, that its length gives credence to its topic, which it doesn't, and for some reason can't handle something they don't believe being perceived as true by someone else. (who cares). So they put down and mock and try to get it moved? Why? It definitely has to do with cigars.

Let people think what they may and have a discussion about it.

Not really. It has more to do with one's own perception.

No threat to me. I call

You can believe anything you choose to my friend, but that don't make it so. And I think most of us are mature enough to realize that we may not always be right either.

So ... who else wants to talk about their alien abduction and implant experiences?

It was in 1973.

I was driving down a desloate stretch of highway heading from Antigonish to Louisbourg ... between Louisdale and St. Peters... it must have been 4 or 5 AM .... when I was startled by a bright light that appeared to be hovering directly over my car.

This thread is in serious trouble of being moved to the Banter Forum.

Lots of places to banter besides here.

Here,Tom...it's the anti-itch formula.

Of cigars!

And oh heck I've already admitted I might be wrong on this. But the people wanting to ban/move and starting banter just mock and don't even entertain the possibility.

I've acknowledged both sides. Given my reasons why I chose the side I do and why I don't agree with the other side. But still acknowledged that neither side is provable and both sides are plausible.

JaKaacH · 03-05-2009, 09:04 PM

I didn't start it

Threatened? Not really, more like a train wreck you can't look away from. I tried, but alas my human failings.

I think this one has been sufficiently de-bunked.

Maybe he can write the Mythbusters and give them a show idea...

It's hard to differentiate between my contributory posts and banter....

This thread was a mockery long before the banter started. In my opinion, from the original post.

It is my opinion that this thread was started just to irritate people and make waves, and I find that offensive. If you wanna create drama, Cigar Asylum isn't the place to do it. You might have luck at another forum.

It is also my opinion that if the OP doesn't like the feedback he is receiving from other members, that he should think twice before posting threads that he knows will create waves.

But these are only my opinions. And you know what they say... opinions are like buttholes, everybody's got one, and they all stink.

You're right in a small way. The thread was intended to stir the pot not make wave. Much smaller. And I tried to make it a discussion. Back and forth accepting others opinions and giving mine. But the only issues came when those who didn't want to discuss. Just mock and believe that only they could be right.

So no I was not picking a fight, but trying to spark a good debate on a commonly discussed cigar topic. At least at my lounge its common. The spirit of it was not to fight but to discuss.
