To be Bombed, or not to be Bombed

[mrcigar]

Just been looking at this bomb thing - to receive, or not to receive.
Why would that be an option? Who would not accept a bomb of cigars as a gift? Am I missing something here?

Haha that's a good question! I guess the thing to remember is that if someone bombs you then you secretly write down their name and plot your revenge! Its sometimes an ongoing thing and can get out of hand!
So I guess those people who are not willing or wanting to retaliate prefer not to receive them in the first place

Yes, perhaps so, but then that kind of thinking is everything contrary to the principle of a 'gift'.

You're absolutely right......but such is the way of the world

I am not sure this is a matter for judgement or assumption, just a basic respect for peoples personal wishes?

[mrcigar]

No, monkey, I'm not being judgemental or anything like that - it was a legit. question to discover if there was anything else to bombing. Sorry if it offends, wasn't intended.
Cheers

no worries

How about maybe not wanting to give out your address to people you may not have met or trusting them not to pass it on?!

Easiest solution .... respect folk's wishes .... and bomb someone else!

I've been at war with an American guy for. Roughly 3 years now. Even the wives get involved adding stuff to the parcels for each other. Never met the guy and never spoken to him, just via another forum

Now this is what I am talking about!!

I've never been bombed but then I've never bombed either.

I can see how it would quickly just keep going, trying to better each other. Think the idea I'd bombing someone across the Atlantic for years and having never spoke to them great. It's a true sign of just how generous the BOTL are.
