Possible, but not very entertaining. |
Now now, Dave; You are one of the most capable practitioners here of
CIVIL discourse; I admire that about you.
So civil in fact you are mistaken for a liberal.
I bet that hurt.

Dave, you better take anon to the woodshed along with DK. These guys need a lesson.

Welcome back Jr. Im a firm beleiver of freedom of speech. One always has the right to say what one thinks. I also have the right not to listen. Im
sort of a fanatic about freedom. I believe there's more freedom in baja now than there is in the united states. The main freedom we have lost is the
freedom to be stupid if we wish.
Where's the feedom to ride a motorcycle without a helmet. The freedom to drive a car without a seatbelt, etc, etc. All good ideas, but when they
become manditory, another freedom is gone. I know most will disagree with me, but isn't freedom about the right to choose, even if its the wrong
choice.
There I go, getting off subject again.

Really? I think the GOP is much more strongly defended than libs are around here. But then again, there are many wall-walkers everywhere that
have leaned left because of certain "major" events. And it seems liberals are reluctant to go up against some well-heeled politically motivated
posters. Any party in office would suffer indignation and negative sentiments regardless of party affiliation. To say it wouldn't would be akin to the
political division over what's happened to our country the last 4 years. Total partisanship, and it shows it's ugly head in here all the time. Never
gaining trust or loyalty of many. Shame, shame! We've taken perfectly good hate and turned it against each other.
With Bush, it's kinda like here. People love to pile on the public underdog. |
That is not a quote from me......that is a quote of a quote, etc. from David K.

Thanks Den
As far as this statement goes, " The main freedom we have lost is the freedom to be stupid if we wish."
Seems to me that many on this board come to Mexico specifically to regain that freedom!

Back to the original subject of this post for a minute;
This editing and administering stuff is crapola in my opinion.
We have a report button and we can chose what to read or not.
Numerous post managers could only confuse things.
I actually kinda like the scene at Fred's board; no editing, no deleting, just oversite as the administrator choses (by Doug in this case which I
have no problem with)
The biggest problem I have with the workings of this forum is that a poster can delete his post at any time. This often removes a linking thread
within the post and/or makes other posters' comments seem ridiculous or worse, without even leaving a bookmark that the post was deleted.

Der Yup
Wi I cun bearley spell let alone keep up with the stellar intellagince on iss hear board
And as far as "agitator,provoker,instigator,muckraker, mudslinger, belittler, discreditor------------------------------------
Since I got back, I made a statement regarding a zoo. Everything else has been basically replying to er , um, let's just say a couple Baja Nomads
complaining and name calling. Same board, same people.
Only difference is, I don't need gossip and rumors to make most of them look even stoopider than me.
Far as I know, this all started because of that flocked up zoo. And then it turned to your attacks on me. personally. You don't know chit about me
aother than gossip from others who don't know me other than a few meetings, yet you continue to make silly accusations about things you know nothing
of.
You might notice that I am also the only one who can actually back up every thing I say with facts and the experience of seeing most all of Baja,
more than once, with friends in all places.
Does this bother you? Too bad.
The rest is just disagreeing or agreeing on certain topics. Happens all the time amongst my friends, of which you or anyone I have met briefly
through this medium are just acquantances, good or bad. You are just looking for nits to pick or as know down here, pica de cebolla.
Now, if you want to find something better to do, like knitting, I would rather tell these stories . Better than Punta Banda even.
Gotta go, got a life, I'll be back

If you continue to use the same post as a reply to all the abuse you get you should copywrite it.
