First off, I want to say Thank You, I got the Box of cigars you sent, and there are some very fine cigars in there,
BUT,.....I think you missed the point entirely
In your note included in the box you apologize for
"my bad experience in your Box Pass because you thought you made it clear that it was for average cigars, but unfortunately that was not the case. I hope you will accept these cigars as an apology"(quotes are yours from your note)
Well your gift was nice, it was totally unnecessary and off point........my distaste in the box pass was not the cigars included("Average Joe" tipped me as to what was expected, and was why I joined in), but the PM halfway through from you that, "everyone should take from the initial offerings and not the newly added cigars"........to me, and apparently at least one other, it was saying take what I put in originally because I don't want them back,- I'd rather have the newly added (some higher quality) cigars that others will (possibly) be adding to the box,- and to use a football analogy, a complete misdirection play.
So, with all that being said, I will be happy to send your Box back to you, as you sending it in the first place was due to a misunderstanding, and it will not change the way I feel about your Box Pass. You started the Pass and laid out the rules-then tried to change them when the game was not going according to your plans.
Let me know if you want and I'll get the Box back in the mail ASAP.
Now, so as not to embarrass both of us, I won't quote the rest of your note, but you should not apologize to me, or anybody else here, for standing up for your convictions and being you. You should not need people's acceptance if you believe in you.
That being said, you do seem to irritate quite a few people here, and many have told you what causes the irritations, but you seem to ignore all that. Sometimes it seems like you heed the advice but then your back bigger than ever in a month or so(I don't mean you go away, but you seem to tone it down some). Sometimes it seems like you actually go out of your way to irritate people(some to the extent that they actually have you on Ignore status).
I honestly don't know what you expect me to say here. I find you to be like that 3am mosquito buzzing in your ear...you can swat it away, but it'll be back in about 2 minutes buzzing away again.
I think I'm a pretty friendly and easy going guy(others may disagree), but I can't imagine you and I ever being more than passing acquaintances in the real world. I am probably not the guy you would ever spend much time with (or vice-versa). Different personalities, outlooks, interests.........the whole package DIFFERENT.
So to end this let me say.......you shouldn't look to me(of all people) for respect, admiration, or approval and I won't look to you either.
Sorry this was so long-winded, but I needed to say what I needed to say
