And I Tuuuuuurrrrn to you , with ooooooooopen arrrrrrrms..........What are you lookin for a free shining of your ball bag? There are guys you said yourself your doing trades with right now----and considering youve been here for 2 minutes that seems like open arms. Go to Fuente's or some of these other sites and see how people get treated----you can be on those f*ckers for a year and they pretentious pr!cks still think they are intrinsically better than you. This is as open as it gets. Not everyone may say hello, f*ck I dont because I cant keep up with all the new people and am too busy anyway-----that doesnt mean I blackball anyone or treat them any more poorly than I treat guys like XMacro around here;). We have had a little issue of late however with cockb@gs who start drama -----and that $hit however makes you wish you could strap someone to a chair and hit them with f*cking hammers or that their mother's health care plan included abortions. If that is unfriendly, I dont see it-----if its not kissing the new guys a$$....Im not much of a kisser, just ask my wife.

I understand. I came to this banter incorrectly. I wasn't familiar with this format and didn't know if it was appropriate to start a new thread for a particular member...which I now know is common practice. I just kind of jumped in head first without looking at it for a few weeks and hit my head on the bottom.
If this place was so unwelcoming how come we have so many members? I really have no idea what you're talking about as being nickled and dimed. We ensure that we aren't sending our sticks to someone who isn't gonna send theirs in return and if you truly "have no problem earning your reputation" with us then why are you complaining about how we conduct trades with new members? There's guys on here who have never and will never bomb or trade with anybody but we welcome and treat them the same. The only people we haven't treated the same as anybody are people who have caused problems, had repeated bad trades, and cause drama. I know myself and other brothers here welcomed you with open arms. So this is ridiculous imho
I never felt an open arms welcome except from a few members who I am conducting trades with. I'm not losing any sleep over this as any of you should be either. I plan to conduct my trades and carry on with my business here and with those trades arriving you will see they type of BotL I really am.
I know I personally welcomed you and helped you out with your thread saying how we normally do them. Others did the same in the PIF thread. It's kinda hard to welcome someone when they didn't even start a thread to introduce themselves. I fail to see how any of us did anything wrong. I'm not losing sleep over it but when someone says things about people you care about and you don't agree then I'm sure you'd want to get your side out as well
You did help me get started and I am very gracious to you for taking the time to help and get me acclimated for this forum format. I'm sorry if I hurt any of your feelings with the comments I said. But I am moving on and not going to dwell on it. I just shipped out all of my trades and I hope my actions speak louder than my words have.
I never sent anyone a free cigar when I joined and you dont HAVE to be on any list-----but if you wanna play in the games you do.......need I mention that moochin pr!ck from the $hitty cigar reviewer website???? Maybe everyone on the banter is just more friendly and willing to talk than we are.......while I get on there occasionally, it seems all I am guarenteed over there is dried out cigars with no humi-pack and a slightly better price than here (that they will match for me anyway)---and apparently words behind the ol back. I think Ill choose this over the drama & dry sticks.

The PIF states that you need 25 posts, no other criteria was required. So it felt like there was this 'little boys club' that was rejecting me when I offered up a sponsor in Marker and my other forum names to verify my credentials. I have never received dried out cigars over there...just better CotMs. I know they will match the price here and I use both sites to stock my inventory.
You don't need to send out any free cigars to be accepted. All you have to do is complete one trade with an established member. That's it. It's not that hard. After one successful trade we give you all the respect you need. We like one trade under everyone's belt to cut down on forum members likelihood of getting screwed out of their end of the trade or game. It's pretty easy to be accepted.

25 post and in good standing, how can you be in good standing with no completed trades? I don't like the part when u stated little boys club, im a grown ass man. Don't be bitter bro, it's not a good look. If u had an issue with the rejection then talk about it on here not another site.

I understand that now and realized that I should have done more lurking and research before joining this forum. I have the packages sent out, so keep an eye on what the members say once they receive them.

Sweet. After that all the games will be open for your participation.

I talked about it with my friends, that's what friends do. If you really found what I said was offensive then you really need to grow up. Following who said what in that banter format is very difficult. I am not the person you should be targeting if you are reading those posts correctly. I urge you to read it and then form your own opinion, assuming you haven't already read it

I did a trade with Sniper for a La Perla perfecto sampler and got my feet wet and running. Since then I have tried to be good with all the trades/games/PIF stuff. It just takes some time and patience. The people here have been good to me and I appreciate it.
Shaun I was and have only been referring to the pif stuff. Because it was my opinion that made another memmber to decide to not let you join in the pif at this time. Just wanted to point out the 25 post and good standing requirement. Most people that read it generally just see the 25 post and want to jump right in. You seemed cool with waiting to join in on the pif so I left it alone. No worries. Hope everything works out on here for everyone.

No hard feelings at all man, what so ever. I didn't completely understand the 'good standing' part of it and now I do, which was the source of my frustration...and I acted out instead of coming to the source. I can't wait to get in on the action and bomb the hell out of you guys to make up for this!
Right on brother. It's all about the cigars anyway. I love this place and will defend it anytime. Maybe you'll feel the same someday, maybe not. Either way it's all good. Happy smoking
And I'm sure you have never been in a heat of the moment situation around your buddies and said something you didn't regret later on.... If you cannot accept someones apology then no one can help you.
Do yourself a favor and go back to lurking...you are very abbraisive...
