Ok, ok, I confess. It was me.😊

I just didn't like my tone & overall body language.

Oh come on... the thread was obviously not going to make it long. It started in a questionable place and was going downhill...

I'm personally more inclined to just speak my mind on a thread rather than ask for it to be removed, but I'm not surprised someone out there was offended enough to make that request.

It was a FUNNY thread taking a jab at disingenuous black & mostly white politicians (+ Marky Mark).

Some "sensitive" folks out there want to establish their own restrictive boundaries with what THEY find funny.

They're usually humorless and angry at the world.

Wow, I never thought I'd be fighting THAT free speech battle.

Bloody, this is Cbid. there is no "Free speech". There is a level of freedom that they feel hits the sweet spot between keeping us coming back and involved (and occasionally buying cigars) and not driving other customers away from the site.

I didn't see half the thread for various reasons, but based on what I've seen go on at this forum in the past, if it didn't get offensive, it was likely not far from it.

Well, I didn't narc, nor complain, nor say anything at all, (until now) however, I personally found the tone of a few threads around here distasteful in the last few days. I'm glad they were pulled.

Mathen, the same thing happened almost exactly 4 years ago. Coincidentally it seemed to coincide with an election where there's a black president.

Also coincidentally coincided with my banning.

You're trying to cover it up and all.. but you're actually a democrat and afraid to admit it. Think no one will be your friend.

It's okay. We accept you for who you are.

Numerous complaints about the Negro Dialect poll. Its been removed.

It was a little over the top...Although June Cleaver does speak a mean "jive"

If one person is offended, the thread should be pulled.

And if one person is offended by cigars or cigar smoke, they should no longer be sold.

It is important that nobody is ever offended by anything ever again.

I'm offended at the attempt at "humor". If Blood had went old school and said "Niggra" we'd all be rolling in the aisles.

The Spanish just aren't very good at nuance, though. I blame the chorizo.
