05busa,



That will be quite enough with the panhandling. In the two months you have been posting here, you have panhandled for cigars in over half a dozen different threadjacks.



In some threads you claim to be sending the cigars to a friend serving overseas, while in other threads you claim that it is the wife of a soldier that is doing the sending. Your story and your claims change in every one of your panhandling threadjacks.



Regardless, you are not a benevolent registered non-profit organization that ships out to multiple units and will happily add any additional unit who requests it to the shipping rotation. You are simply an individual who is badgering everyone here so you can take up a collection and send it to your friend.



There is no accountability whatsoever for your method of collection and supposed reshipping of said items.



You offer inaccurate information regarding shipping costs and paperwork as a reason for S/BOTLs to send cigars to you rather than directly to the troops. This behavior is highly suspicious and when coupled with the above noted behavior/information makes you appear to be very much less than what you claim and who you might actually be.



Some examples:

======

You start your own “Support MY troops thread, and even have the audacity to tell one of the co-founders of OpFTH that what they’re doing isn’t good enough and you just want people to send cigars directly to you so that you can send them to YOUR friend and none other:



http://www.cigarbid.com/...geDisplay=0000000087197



======

Here, you try and hijack AndyTV’s latest Troop Auction for your own personal gain:



(Post # 149 and # 151)



http://www.cigarbid.com/...play=0000000085738#mbot



======

This is just plain rude and thoroughly asinine where you shamelessly attempt to undermine docrks and via the posting of inaccurate information as you attempt to have S/BOTLs send cigars to you rather than directly to the troops:



(Posts # 83 through # 86

http://www.cigarbid.com/...play=0000000086359#mbot



======

“Pathetic” is the only word that comes to mind to describe how you even attempt to solicit donations in one of RICKAMAVENS political debate threads:



(Post # 6)

http://www.cigarbid.com/...geDisplay=0000000090715



======





I know that I’m sick of seeing your groveling and panhandling posts, and I suspect that there are other S/BOTLs here that are too, so please, take your posts of that nature somewhere else.

If you're serious, there is one guy here, I can't remember who though, who collects fake cuban cigars, bands and boxes as curios.

As I stated in the other thread when you quoted all of that the first time...


That was a long time ago, right when he started posting here, before I or anyone actually got to know Anth.

Once I got to know him, I realized that I had misjudged him and he's not a bad guy at all, that the "stupid" posts he made were his way of dealing with being an over stressed cop who had seen more than his share of **** and had a pair of demanding twin girls at home to top it off. In retrospect, I regret making that post 6-7 years ago.

Good grief - asking for prayers is not mooching!!!!! Numi did the same for his little grandson - that wasn't mooching either! As far as I am aware, Busa has had no dealings/trades with ANY of the people who are so offended by his consumption of oxygen. The posters who are offended by "where's mine" have not been around here long enough to know that it's a running gag - that's fine. But at least be sensible enough to take word of people who WERE here when it started when they tell you that it is, in fact, a running gag. As for re-gifting, my opinion is: it is a GIFT. Once you give an item as a gift, it is no longer yours. If you wish to exercise any kind of control or authority over how the gift is used, IF the gift is used - ANYTHING... you never actually gave it. You retained a bit of ownership of the item. That's not a gift. I am 110% in agreement with TG on this one - if I give someone something that they cannot use or do not like, but it gives that person the ability to be generous with someone who DOES like it, then my gift was useful to them and it WAS used by them. That makes me happy. It's not a slap in the face. Keeping the item and letting it rot in a storage box or the bottom of the "dog rocket" humi instead of sharing would be more likely to bother me. How many people have bagged up cigars that don't suit them and sent them to OpFTH? Wouldn't that count as "regifting?" Is it okay for the troops, but not for you? I don't think I like that. There's also the claim that a cigar that was specifically asked for was regifted. First of all, I think it's tacky to be keeping such close tabs on everyone's inventory, but that's just me. Second, what if he got more than one? Is he not allowed to have more than the one he was gifted? What if he was gifted more than one, stumbled across one in a B&M somewhere...whatever...and wanted to share something he enjoyed with someone else? Why is that horrible? Why is it anyone's business but Busa's? Opinions are like belly buttons - we all have one, and that's mine.
Opinion, that is. I'll keep my belly button to myself.

So when a ISO is posted or a Ill take those cigars... Do you expect to see them traded. No. If your not going to smoke them why take them or ask for them??

I would like to understand something. Since I am newer to cigars and forums why do people continuosly post their misfortunes on a forum. I would think one has family and friends to turn to in a time of need and if not what does that say about ones character.

Now if my close family member where ill this would be the last place I would post about it. I would come here to take mind off it for a brief moment not spark more thoughts about it.

If some misfortune happened and there is a benefit or charity of some sort then yeah I get it spread the word. Honestly though friends and family are what you should lean on in a time of need not a handle on a forum.

Oh and by the way I live about an hour from busa and there is no such thing as an overstressed cop in that area. Maybe a stressfull homelife but not at work. They make very good money for the area and a large portion of my friends are cops and correction officers so I know what they call stressfull and it does not compare to the average persons work day.

Shaun, different people deal with things in their own ways. We've become a digital society, to some, having an a friend over an electronic medium such as a forum or facebook et. al, is just as good as a friend down the street. That's their choice to share things to those people in this fashion, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just different than how you might deal with it.

Well, in Busa's situation, the family is what's causing the stress. Everyone is already overwhelmed in their own right, so this is a place that isn't quite so "close to home." Saying that posting here means that he has no "real" friends is kind of presumtuous and (rude word deleted.)
In other cases, the disinterested third party is what you need. In still other cases, a person sometimes just has to get something off their chest. On a forum, with a handle rather than a name with a bunch of relatively anonymous, faceless handle-wearers who don't know you from adam...you still get human feedback and responses, but it's not *personal.* People you'll probably never meet in your lifetime are kind of "safe" in that way.

Then again, there are just as many that we haven't met yet but speak to on the phone, in text/ IM, on FB... the world has gotten very small. Different kinds of friendships in the world today - and that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's fine if it doesn't suit you, but you shouldn't judge people who feel differently.

In the broader scope, I don't think there's such a thing as an inappropriate place to ask for prayers for ANY reason. I have family and friends who have prayed for kids in amber alerts, troops overseas, etc., whom we have never met and only heard of through electronic media. I certainly don't have a problem adding someone who posts here about a FIL or grandchild who has cancer or a heart condition or whatever.

Much the same way that you seem to think that someone who posts problems here must have poor character and no friends, I think that telling someone to go bother their REAL friends with their problems and don't ask me to pray for them or even tell me about them speaks about ones character as well. I think it's wonderful that we have the ability to connect with people on many different levels these days.

read the entire post, what I stated applied to that area and excluded his home life. I am sorry but as I said I have many friends in the police and fire union and I do know more about that area and the job then probably everyone except for Busa and I would be the other side of the argument and if his overstessed cop career only existed 7 yrs ago then why does he still post his stupid 2 word post.

Much the same way that you seem to think that someone who posts problems here must have poor character and no friends, I think that telling someone to go bother their REAL friends with their problems and don't ask me to pray for them or even tell me about them speaks about ones character as well. I think it's wonderful that we have the ability to connect with people on many different levels these days.



See this is where I see a favoritism cause Busa is a familiar name to you vets. Who in their right mind would consider someone a friend if they thought talking to someone about this circumstance would be a bother. I also never said don't pray or do whatever it is that you wish to do, but those actions like to be thrown out there to cusion your side of the argument.

On a realistic note though I disagree about considering people you only know from forums and social media friends. Acquaintances or good people is one thing but how much do you really know about a person over social media? For all you know I am some male that lives in south jersey in my mid 30s. I could have just posted that stuff and be something entirely opposite.

You just don't get it, do you? How do you know what he went through? Oh, some friends of yours told you or you assumed that they didn't have a stressful job, therefore you jumped to the conclusion that he didn't.

Great detective work there, Lou.


As for Anth's 2 word posts, there's an ignore function you can use if they bother you that much, although your own lack of punctuation and sentence structure leaves much to be desired of.

(((shrug))) Well it would definitely explain your claimed personal knowledge about Busa's work environment.

Whether deliberately or unintentionally I can't tell, but you're misreading what I said. When I say that it's wonderful to be able to connect with people on many different levels, that's exactly what I mean - many different levels. Neighbor down the street is different from penpal is different from crazy uncle is different from coworker is different from FB friend, etc. All real human connections, but all different kinds of connections. FWIW, there are a couple of people I met here whom I know better and telephone more than I do my neighbor down the road OR my crazy uncle, and I do consider them my friends. The rest of you are just here for my entertainment - DANCE, MONKEY! DANCE! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
