I try not to get involved in this section of the forum too much. I prefer to read it more than participate. But this thread [url=http://www.onlinehumidor.com/forum/index.php?topic=29415.0]http://www.onlinehumidor.com/forum/index.php?topic=29415.0[/url] got me thinking that maybe this poll was necessary. I can be a bit of a douchebag myself sometimes, so just letting you all know that I don't walk on water before a select few start reviewing every post I have ever made trying to hold it against me.

But you said something to me once in the chatbox about a friend of mine that I was trying to score some cigars for that was just really over the line, and probably would have got you knocked on your ass if you said it to my friend in person. So I have no shame in starting this thread. And besides that, several people talk about it on the DL anyhow, so why not see what the people think?

Brian, Taps is a arrogant asshole, but he is our arrogant asshole. Aidan has helped me numerous times in many ways. Booze, cigars, technology etc etc. Is he over the top at times yep, so am I. So I just want to be clear you started a poll about another member to try and call him out? But when he calls out others for gouging, their shady past bad deals etc he is an arrogant asshole? WOW, I dont want to know what you think of me then, I must be an anti-christ.

As far as all the numerous PM's that the bashers get, and all the votes etc all behind the scenes, cowardly shit, at least the OP/ Brian had the testicles to put it out there with his name. I whole heartly disagree with him but at least some moxie was shown.

Chillibean/John...you should go away, you have been a thief for a while now. How people still do "business" with you is beyond comprehension.

Tapps has helped out many people get connected with lots of great stuff. He often gives information about when and where things are going to be, and usually has information about the prices. He also is very generous. He trolls what he perceives as possible predators to this board, and by trolling getting some sort of reaction, is usually some sign of guilt, but sometimes it means the trolle has thin skin. Either way. I think his assets far outweigh his negatives.

Taps (Aidan) calls people out which can be very beneficial especially since he does his homework and checks the history of other forums. It does appear he is always stirring the pot but if he wasn't, the BZ threads would go stagnant. Best thing to do if you get called out would be to shrug it off and/or work it out, unless you did something fucked up, then you reap what you sow.

From my understanding the BZ threads are for speaking your mind and TSBC is for Trade, Sell, Buy Cigars, so everything looks to be in order. Thanks Wade!

He doesn't do any homework, he has very narrow minded knowledge of what he speaks of and always expects people to give him what he wants or needs at MSRP or close to it. He may be generous with the few people that actually like his bantering and 3 year old Memes' but he puts his 2 cents into shoutbox, forums, etc bashing people selling or trading things that are at a price he would refuse to pay. Personally he began to bash me for an ISO post and a WTT post with something that to a person who collects Liga privada, is considered one of the hardest things to find. Alot of you may not want to pay the price for it or trade what I wanted for it and thats ok, but I did ultimately sell it for MORE than what the value of what I wanted to trade for was. He then proceeds to call me a fraud? I have never deceived anyone here or in any other forum so I take offense to that. Bottom line is he is a keyboard cowboy who would probably get his ass kicked if he tried the shit he pulls here in person with many of the people he bashes. If you don't like the price or the trade posted, move on, don't start bad mouthing people in shoutbox go to BZ where it belongs.

Give up HTF cigars for nothing? I would pay a reasonable asking price for what I want. I haven't been given any realistic offers to purchase or trade. I don't expect anyone to GIVE me anything. I put any ISO out for what I am seeking, is that not what it's for?

[Cohim]

Jeremyf, Tapps is very thorough with his homework. I promise. He is in the fact business, and it is how he makes his living. He is a bit more extreme than most here, and right in line with the guys over at CF.

So don't get buthurt if you are not doing something shady. Just beware if you do.  :bigup:

[jeremyf]

He's not thorough because if he was, he would know what the secondary market was for certain "HTF" sticks. I'm not butt hurt but I am offended. I don't take kindly to being called a fraud. Where I am from your word is gold and you don't fuck people. I don't care about the fan boy, homo or what ever other things he wants to call me, but I am not a thief or a fraud and that is fact. I sold that coffin for way more than you all probably figure and it was the purchasers offer and he was very happy with it and so was I.

[jeremyf]

No. MSRP is 29. this year they have been easier to find at that compared to years past. And a secondary market can be anywhere, so if that's what something sells for there, it is what it is. People on here charge more for things all the time. Don't buy and don't comment. No one wants to hear your shit! I've been smoking longer than you and would bet I have way more cigars than you, but don't need to validate or prove myself to a MORON.
