90+ Irishman:I apologize to any and all that I may have offended, I only meant it as jest and thought that would have been obvious but it clearly wasn't. I will back off and cool down. Thank you for bringing this to my attention Curt and I sincerely apologize for my behavior and attitude as I clearly have upset people I respect and care about. It is clear that my form of sarcasm and comedy is not shared or felt by others, I will not go about to again in this forum or others. Thank you and have a good one, I will take a step back for a while.curtpick:How much *** can you dish out in one **** day brett? You talk about hot air. Your acting like a **** moron. You have a serious problem as of late and its really wearing on peeps.90+ Irishman:Oh look the sensitive wuss is causing waves again.... For what the 5th time today alone? Wow talk about a hot winded trouble maker....

Let me be clear: I don't know all the underlying issues but when I read through these posts yesterday my first reaction was that both Curt and Irish needed to pull up there big girl panties and move the *** on. This *** happens every couple of months and we all forgive because that's what friends do. Curt seems to understand this and I suspect has already moved on. You, Irish, seem to not able or willing to do that but instead lash out on anyone that doesn't seem to be taking your side. (And you will undoudedly lash out at me too).
Moreover, youkeep bringing up your age, Irish, like that's some kind of important factor in all this. It's not. Your maturity, however, is an issue. I've enjoyed our interactions on this forum, but Christ, give us all a break here....
I don't post a lot on this forum and I have no beef with any of the members here; regardless if they're mature, neutral or childish. One thing that makes this cigar forum different from the others is that it's a small community where there should usually be a tighter bond amongst the members.
Like any relationship (in this case BOTL/SOTL), there are going to be arguments but what makes a strong bond between people is how the given situation is ultimately handled. There's definitely potential for this situation to become water under the bridge but at this moment, emotions are way too high and people are forced to take sides.
Most people have already voiced their opinions and all the cards are on the table. What ever needed to be said has and anything further may turn into regret.
At this point, I personally think it's best to drop this situation and hopefully, in a week or two you guys can laugh about it.
So how to "fix" what is broken....who is willing to compromise and at the very least address those issues that divide and give the other side a means to which they can agree that perceptions can be at the core of differences and once one side has introduced "their" side accuracy tends to suffer because we use our own perceptions and emotions to gain accuracy which in fact is not the case. Emotions will cause more problems than the issue itself because our emotions don't see facts as facts....emotion sees a fulfilment of how we "feel" about the issue and we tend to want to feel better based on how we feel and once emotion takes over then practicality of fact takes a back seat. We see sarcasm online as something esp. with such a variety of personalities and interpretation flies out the window so instead of the dealing with the "real" facts we tend to judge expression and perception. At the end of the day what is it we seek....resolution or to prove to others we're right....try to spend that currency anywhere and you'll not gain a thing except to carry that disagreement around with you....and then you have to feed it every day to keep it fresh and in the end it was for nothing as you don't have any net gain from it. JMHO here.
