Wowzah, I missed alot since I last logged in yesterday. 
GN, I think this is what is going on (the way I read the thread):
Blu said: Hey I know I went over the top. But in the end it was what it took to resolve some issues. Everybody was getting pissed at GN at the time. Now all is hunkey dorey I have never been anything but honest here. I have no regrets for what I said. Again, there were plenty of pissed off people (yourself included), I just verbalized those feelings and it worked out well for all except me. All that said, I'll throw out an olive branch and see where that get's us.... (Meaning that he wishes to make peace with GN and anyone else he might have slighted or insulted)
Whalen said: "Word" (Meaning that he agrees that Blu "throws out an olive branch", and agrees that Blu verbalized his frustration but then now people seem to be chastising Blu for complaining)
I haven't been on the forums long, but long enough to know that Whalen and GN have a friendship that shouldn't be ended because of a mere misunderstanding through written words on the internet.
I do agree with Frosted:I obviously don't speak for GN but running your own tobacco company and bringing up two kids with a third one on the way, I wouldn't have the time, or even the desire to send half the participants on some internet forum a heap of snus. I don't know how he does it. I think it says heaps about the man that he would even want to. Yeah snus companies give samples, but this is more than samples. This is why I have such respect.
GN is a busy guy. How about we cut him some slack and give him the chance to send whatever snus is going out, whenever he see fit? I mean....its not like we BOUGHT the stuff at an online store.....He chose to have a contest, we had fun, and he'll get to sending the snus when he has time. Patience, kind Sirs.
Just my two cents.
