I stand corrected. 😮

One response that wasn't posted or edited ;0):

Steve,I'm very sorry you feel this way,

"the idea is to have so many quick responses in favor of the thought that those who disagree will see how badly they are outnumbered and either go away or change their tune."

I'm sorry Steve but I happen to like a little fuckimg around and I'm not to keen on rules and regs especially if they come from somebody not even connected to c-bid in the first place.

This is bad news and very 1984 like.I'll be no part of it and I might add extremely opposed to it.I'm not goimg to say any more beause I basically like you Steve, but I will not be a party to such cencorship(sp i'm in a hurry) and alienation by the "clique" it already happens but I won't be a party to it.

Good luck in your quest but I feel if you really want this you would start your own club on another site as many of us did a few years ago.

Until next time/JJ

jjohnson28 --- I don't know if you realize this, but SteveS's sentiments are just not his and those of us who agree with him ...

... I'm sure that the staff of CigarBid approved of his post before he submitted it, and are in full support. After all, these are their forums, and all they want is a place where people are cordial and treat each other with some respect.

Most all BB's have certain guidelines set up (there are a few that don't), and all CB asks that members follow their 'Forum Rules & Conditions' ...

Those who don't agree with that ... they can behave anyway they feel like, or say whatever they feel like, on the forums provided for that purpose.

Slim please point out where exactly I ask for your opinion.The post is address to Steve isn't it?

Slim, if you'd like, I can run your stuff by my staff? Just to make sure it meats with my approval...

LOL @ GOBP

LOL @ jjohnson28 --- isn't that a little contradictory to your censorship beliefs?

Oh, and Robby ... you can do anything you wish with my posts. Just leave my 'meat' alone ... LOL!

Hi everyone,

Steve did contact us prior to posting his message. I, along with the entire CBid Staff, was all for it. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed a significant change in the forum.

We've been seeing a lot of new faces lately, and I really enjoy the idea of our forum growing more and more as the days go on. I would like the newbies to arrive in an atmosphere that is informative, educational, and enjoyable. However, I hate seeing the veterans questioning the ‘new forum’, and whether or not they wish to stay.

At times, discussions get heated, and buttons get pushed. This is totally understandable, as it happens to all of us. However, we are all here for the same reason: to interact with each other and enjoy the pictures, thoughts, stories, and ideas of others. We are grown adults, and can make our own decisions. We can only hope that those decisions are in the best interest of the forum, as well as its users.

Monitoring the forum can be quite difficult at times…especially with the increased number of users. I only ask that we all respect each other, as well as the forum and its policies.

... and I do apologize to jjohnson28, for answering for SteveS. It wasn't my place ...

Suck up...LOL

JJ, I'm proud of you...

... - handing napking to Marla -

Well Jim, even though we may be on opposite sides of the fence when it comes to certain issues, I've aways always considered you a good friend ...

... and, if I've got to 'suck up' to you occassionaly to prove that ... so be it!

Oh,I didn't think you were sucking up to me,Steve@CB maybe but not to me...LOL

Oh, crap ... so I didn't have to say that after all??? LOL!

Truth is, I was in the proccess of posting and the phone rang, and Steve got that in under me ...

I didn't see it until my post went through ... now I feel kind of 'thick', but what else is new ... eh, Jim?

... hehehe ...
