Uh, oh! Somebody else now defending somebody else 100%.
Just teasing, Gomez. :)
I'm almost sorry to think that all the excitement might die down, but then again, maybe we can all get back to work, or maybe get some sleep.

Hey Jim! One thing you'll learn very quickly is that this type of drama always occurs on a repeating cycle. There are always scammers around because of the huge pool of victims available on the internet. You won't be bored for long.
As for FG, I have openly stated many times that he can be a dick and knee-jerk react to posts that call him a troll, but from a "calls a spade a spade" perspective, I have respect for the guy. And unlike most, I take my blinders off and look at the totality of his posts (especially at CF) and I see many posts that are not combative (cigar info, sports talk, etc). He's just different, and I appreciate and respect different. The last thing I want to see is more of this "since you smoke cigars and I smoke cigars, we're brothers" shit. Meet, eat, smoke, laugh, build a friendship, and then call someone a brother.
