Senor Bigjohnson, what key would you prefer?

BTW, what does BJ stand for, senor? I think our friends across the pond and, for me, up north, might find it suggestive.



Names TJ, TJCoro, and I think I'm offended by your handle

It's just the way we roll

The other main forum I belong to (non-cigar) is in self-destruct mode at the moment. Arguments. Insults. Swearing. Really infantile taunts. Posts and threads being deleted left, right and centre. The disagreements have been taken to Facebook and one of the protagonists is trying to get loads of anonymous Facebookers to click on to the site and insult the admin. The admin are going nuts, particularly the person who owns the site. The whole thing seems to have arisen from the language policy of the site. Swearing. When should it be allowed or pruned? A bit of very inconsistent pruning IMO has taken place, and the whole of the community is in disarray. The trouble is the language was used very offensively. There are always gay spats on the site. (It's a musicians' site). In short it has become a music site with fuck all to do with music and all all to do with nonsense...

I have said this before on here. Once more for luck...

I am so pleased to be a member of a site here about something I'm passionate about that doesn't self-destruct, and where the atmosphere is at-ease, and where I can occasionally use the language I like to use as an adult without causing intentional insult.

This site is VERY amicable compared to some of the nonsense that goes on out there. What's clear is we're united by enthusiasm - and that's just what I seek when I can jump out of my life's obligations and escape to our deliciously fragrant phat boys' club down the tubes a few times a day every single day.

Not a rant, but just some reflections borne of clear comparisons of different sites this week online.

Low key? Elaborate - we like feedback

Even if the site grows, which I doubt it will massively from the (good) base we have, we'll stick to the principles.

Which are mainly: free speech (minus spam), and ensuring everyone's treated right. That should put us in good stead

Couldn't have said it better myself Bry. C'mon BJ, put us out of our discrete misery

This is down to you as King Dong here, Deano, and this is why it feels very comfortable on this site. Watch your battye on that herf, love.

I love how the admins on this site aren't Nazis who delete or alter anything that they don't like!! LOVE THIS PLACE. I've almost stopped posting on the other place these day - nothing really happens...

[Robusto]

PS THANK YOU for NO ADVERTISING on this site!!!!!

[Robusto]

I also like that there is hardly and editing of posts. Well, none - really. No silly interventions, anyway.

Admin shouldn't need to be Nazis if the space is sufficiently comfortable. And it certainly is that.

Agree completely, Stevieboy.

PS I usually read back and edit out the filthy things I drop into my posts. I use backspace edit like a big whip on myself five or ten minutes after the initial pleasure.

[Deano]

I wouldn't bother!

[Robusto]

Sorted, then.
I'll prune them no more.
