Or maybe more politely, the person who brings the absolute least when it comes to Frank's request of Making Cigarbid Fun Again.

There. I gave you the benefit of the doubt and the highest honor you are likely to earn from me.

Everyone can evolve and change.


You right-of-center persons are too LEFTY for me.

That slogan "Making Cigarbid Fun Again" doesn't have a good ring to it. Com'on, MCFA doesn't flow off your tongue? It sucks! Frank has to do better than that.

We have a 10 person group text that's been going forever and we meet on the Vherf every Saturday (over 2 years now) and sometimes during the week for a quick smoke. We laugh our asses off. There is zero drama and new people are always welcomed. No one gets chased away. Some people may not enjoy our juvenile sense of humor but, no one is given a raft of crap just because they are new or because of who they may have voted for. This forum used to be very welcoming to new people. Now? Forget it. It's not even very welcoming to people who've posted here for years. All of the people in our group text and on the Vherf met here. Almost none of them post here anymore.

People keep saying "People come and people go.". That's true but, it used to be alot more people coming and going.

If anyone wants to join us on the Vherf you're all welcome. We usually watch the fights, drink, smoke and act like 8 years olds. It's fun;-) We even let HockeyDad drop by for a visit and he's French and cheers for the wrong hockey team.

This explains a lot of this:

I guess my gestalt doesn't work very well, I'm always questioning it.

Then, you at least implied that since he is not part of )YOUR) solution, tat he is part of the problem.

I tend to recall people coming and going from these boards way before Trump even thought of running for President.

When it comes to politics, people like echo chambers. Now more than ever as we slide closer to “my way or highway to the re-education camps”.

For those that left here because of politics, I’m sure they have been successful in their quest and I wish them well but they are missing out on the fact that a lot of good people don’t have to always agree on politics to be friends. I suspect they also purged Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as well. Today’s culture has resulted in people eliminating friends and family from each other’s lives as we demonize everyone. Is that part of the problem or the solution? (Of course since they’ve left they have about as much chance of reading this as the Amish do)

Not possible, nobody is to my right. Trump is to the left of me. In general Fox News is to the left of me. You obviously are to the left of me. So you right o' center types are more like a Trumpie than you admit.

See how you are, one sided? Which side? Does it have a definition?

I brought an old right/libertarian perspective, not the same old stale same old false dichotomy.

So what did I and my so-called "followers" win? Are there more of us than your wishy-washy right or left-of-center types?

Doesn't you bringing in something old imply that it is not fresh... thus by definition... stale?

As if the evolution of the "right" somehow was less "wrong" before?

That can't be "right".

yes...and was happening before RayR's juvenile belligerence, personal attacks and name calling... but that kind of behavior, perpetrated by those like him, did drive some good folks away...most of them have gone with the wind...

I am one of those who does not enjoy a lot on Facebook and seldom go there... never Twittered or Instagrammed...

and I am happy within my cocoon...which includes the CBid forum, warts and all...too many good peeps I've met here, many with whom I don't agree about politics, but we have much in common and I call them friends

10 votes selecting Politics, next was 4 votes for Lack of Decorum.

People come and go. Anybody under a post count of 1,000 are those asking about the status their orders and poor customer service.

Exclude those Comers and you’ll see a lot more Goers.

Show a little humility... it's not that I come on here specifically to throw hellfire on you...

It's that you always leave yourself open for attack by incessantly proclaiming stupid sh*t.

Well, you should do that then... join the club of those professing to hate cancel culture... and cancel me and deny the hypocrisy that defines the modern "R", make your transition to the "right" side complete.

Not sure what I said to get your azz throbbin, you seem pretty soft... skin feeling a little thin?... might want to stay in doors... that sun will get you.

I couldn't get on the past few weeks due to the error code
Appearantly I ate too many cookies

Just got on now through Firefox
It has been weird to not feel the pressure to post up every cigar I smoke.

I'll prolly try to stick with my current liberated state of burning premos with zero accountability

Too busy anyway

That & bgz just seems so regarded now

I did want to stop in and say hi to ALL my cbid botls though
