So go away on long golf weekend and all H E L L breaks loose. Come back to Bandy, Joz3r, Sniper, Toombes, Jiunn like the month/roomie All leaving! Yes I also have seen changes in the forums good and bad. Yes have seen ALL the incorrect posts by individuals, and have seen the wrath of the forums come down on them.....Simple PM's could of alleviated alot of problems. But they are still BOTL and some have a very strong passion for it, whether you agree or not so be it.
Sh!t I got on last night to thank the attack sqaudron and called them all BORKs before reading all the other threads this morning! FYI (BORK came from somebody's fat fingers trying to type BOTL) And as far as NEWBS or NOOBS, we are all still somewhat new in knowing about cigars. I believe the Newb/Noob status is set up for the new members needed guidance on this forum and the vets are there to help (not to teardown their welcome) along with the newbs threads. And I always try to help and send Welcome Bombs to them to help break the ice (which reminds me have another list).
Lately, I have seen the monitoring like, some one watching the PGA to call in a rules violation. Really everyone is perfect??? Even if it repeated mis steps? Life is too Short
If there are threads I don't care for, Politics, Religion, others I stay off or just keep my keyboard Quiet.
As far as groups, clicks, don't know I try to treat every one the same, newbs, noob, Bork, Botl don't look for a difference, just that you are here for the same reason a good cigar and company. Cigar tastes, different strokes for different BOTL.
With that said, I will miss the departing Botls very much and Welcome the New ones in the same stroke of the keyboard. Yes I will be staying on here at ccom and sending packages your way at some point!!! LOL.

I'm staying put. The good guys outweigh the bad ones and if it comes to it, I'm not bashful about saying what I think to someone who pushes buttons.
I really wish those leaving would reconsider.
But I totally understand why.
But for those who choose to leave, understand that there are folks who would like to see you stick around and will miss you. And the beauty of forums is that you can ignore those people who push buttons and not acknowledging them is far more irritating to them, than it is you.
For those leaving, may the great spirit guide you on your paths.
Mike, as always you have been the straight arrow. I am hoping your words are seen by everyone on this forum. With the Brothers that you listed leaving, it creates an huge void in these forums.
Someone on the forums once asked why we do the things we do on here. I am inclined to say it is because of those guys. When I joined, they welcomed with open humis, and open minds to help me grow in this hobby/addiction. I am hoping that they will come back once things calm down. I am glad I missed the carnage that has caused they brothers to leave, but as we have seen before, the people that cause the carnage usually don't last long.
To those brothers who are leaving it was my honor to call you Brother, and I hope that in the short time I have been around, I have earned your honor to be called the same.
