What's the point of that? So you can pat each other on the back?

If you are giving in the true spirit of giving, send your package and be satisfied in knowing that you did a good deed and helped someone out.

The "look what I/we did" is not what it's all about.

emopunker2004 · 03-30-2013, 11:20 AM

Because I want to see the hilarity that ensues. I don't care about pats on the back. I don't care if the packages are identified by name. I want to see what was sent as a whole.

pnoon · 03-30-2013, 11:32 AM

Right.
Because this is all about you.

To me, it's not hilarious. Some guys helping a brother out when he's down. So you get off on the volume of sticks he'll receive. I get it. But I see a different purpose.

emopunker2004 · 03-30-2013, 11:33 AM

I enjoy helping him out when he's down but that doesn't mean it can't also be amusing as well.

No one's arms are being twisted, this is just a bunch of BOTLs having some fun with another BOTL and helping him out at the same time.

BHalbrooks · 03-30-2013, 11:45 AM

Sorry, I meant the purpose in a "I got bombed" thread, not overall gifting Cigars.

pnoon · 03-30-2013, 11:54 AM

One last attempt to make my point and then I'm done.

Pressuring a recipient to post pictures of this gesture or any other bomb is not in the true spirit of giving. Sure it's nice to see a public thank you. But any acknowledgement would suffice. Many give the impression that posting "carnage" is expected.

If you want to humbly accept your gifts and quietly PM a sincere thank you to those that helped you out, that is all that is needed. If you want to post pictures publicly, go for it. But don't feel pressured or obligated to do so.

I think in this case the majority of people who want to see the damage are those that participated. The rest of the asylum know that you will be getting a butt load of cigars from those that posted.

BHalbrooks · 03-30-2013, 11:55 AM

I got ya Peter

emopunker2004 · 03-30-2013, 11:56 AM

Sorry Peter. My intention was not to pressure him.

Play nice boys... this is a wonderful idea and show of brother/sisterhood by everybody. No matter what its a testament to the people on this site and what they are willing to do for others. ..... That is all

The biggest bomb I've seen dropped on someone was at another cigar BB. The victim was a guy who was very, very generous, so a couple of other members put their heads together and started a collection campaign. When it was all said and done, we got together a large cooler full of cigars and someone hand delivered it to the guy's house...
