I've heard the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Thankfully, I don't have a problem. I'll just smoke more.

Have you guys ever entered text from another language into one of those translation websites? The result is kinda like that post, you can get an idea but it really reads like english as a second language.

Just to be clear though, I'm not picking on anyone who might not be a native speaker, just pointing out something I noticed.

It sorta does joe, but he is using a lot of cliches like "swinging the sword of critique...it becomes a boomerang" "if the shoe fits.." which makes me tend to believe that it isn't someone using a translating website. I think we might be dealing with good ole fashioned internet speech. Or drunk post.

Hey JZ

I totally agree with what you say; but this is what this was all about. He is swining the sword of critique and forgets it may turn into a boomerang if not used wisely. I think he was overdoing some of it and forgets diplomacy. Furthermore he could have simply ad that there might have been a problem with the shipping of the cigar. We would have never known that if i wouldnt comment in that way. Which is to sad for the producer, i would not send another cigar for review under these circumstances. What info he got from the producer i dont know.

And if the shoe fits he may wear it. All he said about taste shall be correct. But the way he frases it he knows what its means and it is received like that: "Flag on the play, personal foul; tasted like s h * *. 15 yard penalty repeat first down ". Did you smoke one to be in the position to write about its taste ??? So repeat first down!  ;-) Anyhow - Technically i agreed with him on several points . So the question remains: what is actually the insult to the review ? When what you write is no insult ...

cheers
