Can someone fill me in on the Cigar Drama? - Page 3

GrtndpwrflOZ · 06-15-2009, 01:51 PM

No Bro,
Not alot of Drama...about the same as CS. I have only been around for a little over 2 years now so I haven't seen everything.

What I meant by the selling CA comment was...The only time I believe I saw drama was when people started buggin' about CS being sold. I wouldn't think that CA would be sold and in no way am I trying to start Drama (haha).

Was there more drama than that at CS as opposed to CA? I think not. As we all know, this is my opinion. More Passionate discussions.....perhaps.
I don't live here though.

Dave, Bro....Dave..."Blaylock" that's it. I think it used to be something similar...but different.
Real good guy. Used to do the 5 finger bag buys. Mingled with the Philly Crew.

He's still over at CS.

Just giving my point of view. No worries.

And which Dave are you talking about?

LasciviousXXX · 06-15-2009, 01:54 PM

Its all good bro. Just checking to make sure we're not giving out the impression that we might sell the place or anything like that. That's the absolute LAST thing I ever expect to happen here.

I get your viewpoint man. Its all good, everyone has their own speed and style and I'm glad that so many of our BOTL's and SOTL's decided to hang their hats here.

Ah yeah, I remember Dave. At one point he was signed on over here too...before he became a mod over at Puff. Haven't seen him around much since then.

I don't think Emperor Caputo allows his mods to join other forums.

That's pretty much the case as I understood it.

Nice to see that you made it out of the cesspool.

csbrewfisher · 06-15-2009, 02:07 PM

I'll pay $1.50 plus 50% of all profits from the sale of cremosas and Phillies, Dustin.

icehog3 · 06-15-2009, 02:08 PM

I would wholeheartedly disagree that there is as much drama at the Asylum as there was at Club Stogie, but that is my point of view.

I would try, but I am banned. Oh, not banned in a usual sense according to Jon. Just banned so that I can't log on, and my e-mail address is banned from changing my password or signing up. But that isn't really banned, just ask Jon.

Asylum is banished from txt at CS...puff

Under my screen name it should read Int. Asylum Gorilla, but instead it reads
Int. ***** Gorilla

Also, the whole Dave thing and Emporer Capu..... is the Asholeo things that go on there. They are still growing and people are still joining, but that is neither here nor there.

As for the Drama. Everyone (Other than Dave) that I know came here from CS. So where is the difference, other than there are no certified vendor advertisements (these by the way got me into the whole cc world directly, after talking with some people that I met thru CS. We all know no one gives up their sources to strangers. If a couple people (mods) didn't tell me the advertisements were legit It would have taken me forever to make connections to those sites.
Oh yeah, the pretty colors are here.

I Love CA, don't get me wrong, as I love ICC, & ya know puff is fun to run around in also. It reminds me of when I was more of a noob than I am now.

Can you feel the love?

wow, really Tom? that's so bush league...

i'll tell you the main difference, in my mind, between the two forums. the discourse is more intelligent over here. here, there are dozens inmates who i can identify with and whose opinionions i respect and who create thoughtful posts. posts, that typically inspire some really good dialogue. over there, it's much more... basic, for lack of a better term. nowhere near as though-provoking as the asylum (in most cases... there was that little diddy about shaving one's ass...). every now and then i'll go over there and lurk, read a few things and reaffirm my decision that this is the place to be. hey, look - i can actually type PUFF and not get ****!

and i don't even want to know what the casino cash is all about...

Jbailey · 06-15-2009, 02:16 PM

You're just on an infinite time out Tom.

06-15-2009, 02:16 PM

Best part of this thread is I noticed Tom has almost 7,000 posts!

(Sorry, end of thread jack)

Why can't we all just get along, I wonder. Hey I was NEVER on those other two boards, but I've seen this $#!+ before elsewhere. Friends of mine got banned from the old JRBB (before Steve Saka finally shut it down inna middle of the night) for the slightest little snub that got a bit outta hand - but at least they had the excuse of being tied to a business site legitimately. So summa the old guys there started up herfer's paradise, then soon started slappin' their friends around like Hitler did Poland, with bans left and right. So then another schism in the church of the leaf spawned the cigar rebellion, which seems to have died of natural causes.

Hell, the best things cigars have done for me is teach me how to sit down calmly and relax, yet it seems like this peace cannot translate to the web. Just one word I'd like to leave you with - Ommmmmmmmmm.

Oh. I did find the Puff forums recently and posted a few things there, but if the admin is that dick-like, I'm glad to get a heads-up before investing a lot more time and energy.
