@Flatwatermonte, you've got nothing to apologize for. Stating that Government Overreach had something to do with McClelland's demise, is in and of itself NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT! Despite what the Self Appointed Thought Police Here (Jesse) has Deemed!
He has a long and sorted history, both here and on other forums, of trying to silence any thoughts or opinions that don't fit into his echo chamber world view.
And for the record Jesse, I did read the letter. And though they didn't address the FDA's heavy handed and despotic "Deeming" position, a person would have to be an absolute fool to think that this hasn't had an influence on their decision.
If our tobacco industry, specifically pipe tobacco industry, were not under threat of impending doom, the many producers and blenders would not be in the perilous state that they now find themselves.
So, to be perfectly clear Jesse, I am not attacking you personally, nor am I espousing my political beliefs here, no matter how logical or pragmatic they may be. What I am doing is to "call you out" for your repeated cyber-bullying of anyone that does not share your world (political) views or that would dare say or intimate anything that might bristle your sensibilities.
If you have a differing opinion, then be a civil MAN and state it. To post veiled threats of the possibility of being ousted from here because of what YOU DEEM as a Political statement is a passive-aggressive gesture and is not in keeping with the spirit of gentlemanly discourse.
I anxiously await your well reasoned and civil response.
Kindest regards
Dino

Dino,
You're still ticked because you acted out a that other forum and got called out for it? Grow up already. As for reading the McNeil's letter, here's a couple of salient lines:
"Without the supportive infrastructure our government used to provide, a small company such as ours cannot continue."
Another quote:
"We can no longer access tobacco of the quality we need."
That's why they closed their doors.
You're welcome to make up any reality you need. As for your claims of not "attacking me personally" who are you kidding?
Cyber bullying? Really! Advising a newcomer here with only two posts, about the rules here, a rule that just got two people banned here is cyber bullying? Seems to me I'm trying to be helpful so that the guy doesn't suffer the same fate.
That's all I have to say. You're free to carry on all you want.
