Since the closing of the "RAM27 IS....." page has been closed....and for good reason. It was getting out of hand. I would just like to say that I understand how all of the reactions came about but like many others on this board, he is just misunderstood. He is a very nice man. He would do anything for you. If you spend 5 minutes with him his adrenalin jubs off and you feel like smoking 3 cigars at one time and running a marathon. Most of what he writes about is making fun of or pointing out what others are doing. It is ALL about having a good time and nothing is meant to be mean or an attack on anyone. Go back and try re-reading his posts with that in mind. He is just having fun. I'm sure we have all had the misfortune of responding to someone and having them take it the wrong way. It sucks but it will happen in this world of communicating without the presence of expression. ( although in his case he adds a lot of expression and it is usually LMAO or something in the positive mood)

Just something to think about.

Oh, and by the way, he called me early this morning on the way to the hospital to be with his daughter because he wanted to be there to see his new grandchild. Talk about excitement !!!! Yes he is human and a great guy. Give him a chance.

I am out numbered in my house also - 1 wife, 20month old daughter and 1 female dog. But at least I can keep all my cigars to myself! Besides, the daughter likes her daddy a lot. We will see if it stays that way when she is a teenager!

Mark,

You mention, dog, redo the "numbers" 1=female dog also.!!!!!! Do they count? I'm done for. Wait, none of them smoke cigars, I'm safe. LMAO ROTFLMAO.

Your daughter will love you even more , when she is older, I can assure you of this.

It is all worth the sacrifice in the long run, those special moments, that will last a life time. Mark, cherish everyone one of them, they grow up so fast. All of a sudden , its "Grandpa Mark". LMAO.

Ron, congrats. In a few more months, we get to enjoy grandparenting. David won't admit that he is going to be a grandpa too but I said even stepdads are grandpas. LOL. You will have to harass him about it.

I also wanted to comment on what David wrote above. All day yesterday I wanted to write something about Ron/Ram. Ron is a great person. He is definitely misunderstood. His sense of humor is a little quirky but just the same, I know it is all meant in fun. A lot of people met him at CigarFest, even though some may not have known it was him. He is very high strung and always wants rev things up. It is not malicious, it is just how he is. He likes to see what he calls "train wrecks." He wants people to see how silly they really are when they b!tch and complain about stupid stuff.

I am sure some people thought he got out of hand and crossed the line. But think of how many of you have done that here too behind the mask of cyberspace. That is one reason why I personally haven't been posting here as much. But you know what--who cares. No one REALLY cares in the end. We come, we go. Some may miss us, some may not. For those that are truly friends, they will keep in touch other ways. I have seen so many names from here on another forum in the last few weeks. It is nice to see them there. But the other thing that is really nice is that we can advertise there and not get told that our tiny company is competition. The people on that site don't make you feel like you are second class people. If you ask what some might perceive as a stupid "dead horse" question, you don't get blasted for it. The question is answered graciously.

Give Ron a break. If we were all the same, it would be a very boring existence. You wouldn't want every cigar you smoked to be the same, why would you want every person to be the same. That is the spice of life. Enjoy it and stop being so sensitive.

Maybe if the Admins will allow "smilies" (you know, those funny happy faces) that way, you can tell if somebody is laughing etc....

Poor Ram, you been having a bad week.

I am new to this particular forum, but I have had the pleasure of watching Ron's(RAM's) posts and this is one stand up, topnotch, fantastic guy. Give him a chance everyone!
