Puff.Com Just Plain Sucks!!

[floydpink]

I couldn't get banned by unsubscribing from the newsletter by putting my first name as "f*** you" and my last name as Caputo, but finally managed to get banned by opening a new thread stating "Blaylock is a homo who examines Caputo's rectum with his 5 finger cigar bags", and was banned within 5 minutes.

Bunch of money hungry classless pretenders over there, although my final comments were a little lacking in the class department if I do admit so myself.

The last straw for me was Blaylock calling MCS "childish".

The day will come when I meet JC in person, as I spend a good amount of time in Ft Lauderdale and I look forward to that day a great deal.

I was sort of thinking the same thing, i.e. perhaps someday at a cigar event our paths may cross. And most likely I will still come across as "rude".

Looks like JC thinks he's Jesus Christ, eh?

That's some funny shite!!!!!

Well they gave me the puffy boot, but their is more. Last evening "Blaylock" sent me a PM here asking me to read a PM he had sent my way on Puff. He expressed concern over the troop project or the lack of one on the Puff site. He asked me for ideas on how to get it back up. Well I'll dance with the devil himself "Jon C." if it means cigars heading the troops way.

The results? I tried to log on to Puff this morning and respond with a few suggestion for "Blaylock" but I was denied. Frankly it cracks me up. Seems they speak with forked tongue.

I'll end this now with an apology to anyone I may have offended with my tirade. But for "Jon C." I still say

Viagra? Or Cialis, your choice.

I go over there every now and then just to look and see if I can get some info on anything. No doubt, it is a different board now. And I'm not talking about all the ads and garbage, etc. It's almost like a cigar board with "training wheels" compared to this one. The tenor of Puff and Cigar Asylum could not be more different. There is knowledge here--almost everywhere you look. Over there you have to really look to find knowledge.

There's exception to any rule.
I think Troop Support surely applies, although that's just my
This thread has been very constructive toward finding a way to take care of the Troops that aren't finding support at Puff.
If everyone focuses on the solution rather than the problem, and we all behave, I'm sure it can be solved.

I got banned because I said that I did not sign up for a newsletter when I agreed to the Terms of Service (TOS).

He must still be mad at me for choosing to stay here and talk to my friends, rather than giving into his tyrannical rules for his moderators.

Ya know, they might just like your title!

if you don't like it there just don't go there. I don't like it there and I don't go, these 3 times a week threads are getting almost as bad as posting there. We've made our choice as to where to post so lets leave it at that

Sometimes people just need to vent, that is allowed here when done appropriately. We had a great home that was pulled from under our feet and sometimes people need to say why they made the move. You bet that we can choose to just not visit and most of us don't, but we met good people there that we want to keep in contact with. Troop support is important to many of us and we still log onto Puff to see what is going on, on that front. As responsible citizens we would expect that Troop support would be more important than brand recognition.

You have a point there and I've always kept my mouth shut about changes that took place last year. And again perhaps I should have chosen a different title for the post. That being said being blocked from sending a PM to some military guys looking for cigars leaves me steamed. Hey it's his rice bowl but I think what's in it stinks. I humped a ruck for 2 years in combat and my heart is with those guys who I could not get a message too. If they want to give someone the hook for posting garbage on their site so be it but to filter out the word "aslyum" elevates the word garbage to a new level.

Yep, total bummer, not a surprise though.

I'm a silver lining kind of guy, at least I try to be. We had a great place then and we have a great (dare I say even better?) place now.

The problem with Troop Support on the other site is the loosing of those who made it thier priority to maintain it to a higher standard. Everyone has thier own reasons of leaving and finding a new home and I hate to see all the negitive across all the boards. We all have opinions and we all have our own feelings.

Papajohn has done some amazing things for the troops as has alot of others and I can see thier disgust,but you all have moved on to a new place and are still maintaing that standard. I have sent my own packages and trades to the troops of those I know. There is a differnt breed over there.

There are ways of showing people where you are around the filter as I have pmed those looking for thier friends before the merger.

Enjoy a smoke and be glad we have places like this.

Too bad Top 25 Cigar is tied up with that mess. I used to go to that website a lot to get info on smokes I was curious about.

I wonder if he had it to do over, if the prior owner would still sell. Honestly this gripes me more than JC buying it and making it into his own idea of a successful website.

I really liked that site as well. I still check it out every once and a while, but it takes a lot longer to load now...

You're not kidding. I took a look over their just now (just long enough to see the degradation) and the pages were refreshing so slowly I practically had enough time to read a novel!
