Please point out to me how you determined that I am unable take "a little ribbing". In my mind, I have yet to receive very much ribbing, but I do welcome all informed criticisms.

I have no problem being accountable for my actions or my words, but I will always call attention to instances in which I feel I am being misrepresented.

IMO, you can only have a complete picture of my “actions” by reading all of my words associated with this topic….and that’s one good thing about C-Bid not having an edit option. My words appear (grammatical mistakes and all) exactly as I wrote them.

Like I said

Well ky70. I guess it would have been when you asked someone else to post your thread.

Like I said, For Petes Sake man, its a Cigar Smokers Forum!!

If your impression of the chain of events is that I put someone up to posting "my thread" then I must respectfully disagree with you and as a man's man (figuratively speaking of course), I take exception to the notion.

P.S. You've repeated that this is a Cigar Forum.....I can be a little slow at times (as I'm sure you'd agree) so please explain the significance of that statement...and technically, this is the miscellaneous section of a cigar forum.

Regards,

Ken

I'm gonna cut through the crap here and let you know what I'm talking about.

The first line from your buddy said.

"Well Ken (ky70) on the latest digisle post asked me to take this poll so I am."

My thoughts are "Why didn't this guy post his own poll?" Surely a 'man's man' would..??

In regards to your question about my "It's a Cigar Smokers Forum" statement.

My meaning. I don't take things I read here very serious and can't believe anyone else would.

I do like Slimboli and don't like to see him disrespected. That is why I posted.

Before I leave this thread for good I have one question for you.

Are you here to battle wits and make enemies or talk about cigars and make friends?

Later,

Mike

I won't lower myself to your level by coming up with a creative variation of your username (although quite a few hilarious ones come to mind). To answer your last question, I am here to make friends and discuss my love of cigars and all things associated with them.

To clarify another one of your misrepresentations, I have no association with anyone involved and to refer to someone as my buddy would be inaccurate. It seems clear that you've never read the original post in the Cigar Forum, but why let the whole story get in the way of your well thought out opinions.

I think we both would agree that our discussion has probably gone far enough, and as I like to say when I polish off a good smoke, "Him dead".

Lastly, at times I do enjoy a battle of wits and I do not equate that with making enemies (and I’ve actually enjoyed reading your posts) and I'm obligated to respond to any misrepresented facts that relate to me.

Best regards,

Ken

1) Don't care how Slim handles things anymore that he would care about me handling things.

2) Never recogonized him as being any more of the "unofficial" monitor any more than anyone else on the board

3) Haven't been around here as long as some (Slim and Rick included) but longer than several I see posting on this thread

As someone else pointed out earlier in this thread... this is a pretty dumb set of questions although I see no disrespect for Slim. But since I also participated on this thread I guess it would put me in the same dumb category and I'm probably more stupid for doing so.

Having said this I mean no disrespect to Slim or anyone else on the board. It's just a cigar smokers forum!

Lighten up and light up!

John

ky is not my "buddy". I don't know Ken at all so I have no real opinion of him.
