Off topic
How does one get into the off topic ? There a magic password for this?
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

It serves a purpose if you understand it. Some of the best writing on the site is seen there. Some of the worst as well.
It's up to you to seperate the wheat from the dirt.

"Over18". But don't bother, it's become massively boring. I first started reading and posting in mid 2008 out of interest in the upcoming elections
but after a year or so it got to where I could write the responses to various posts myself; and the number of posters and responders continued to
dwindle until there were only 10 or so that routinely posted and at least 50% of those were childish name calling. I suspect those that left simply
no longer find it interesting and certainly not stimulating.
I check in every-other week to see if Oso told a good Spanish-language joke but no, not anymore. I will say that TW's posts on general interest stuff
is dam good and anything by SeniorSenora is worth a look, unsettling as it may be.
YMMV.

I've often thought that I don't understand why some of the most vociferous off topic posters just don't go to other sites that are more designed to
deal with the stuff they like to spew here.

I agree. This is not a paid plug, but Ron's TalkBaja site has an off topic that is for grownups.

OFF TOPIC is an ugly place, at least the one
time months ago I looked, anti environment,
anti science, right wing wackos, truly
misguided old dinosaurs, including some of the
notable posters on this board, I find it
remarkable with their attitudes they actually
make it down the Peninsula, their attacks
on Environmental Conversation efforts, shows how
small minded they are

Well...the "back of the bus" implies an end to being shoved aside. You can't just keep sending discomfort to other neighborhoods.
As for both boards....if you don't like the topic or the poster, don't read it. It's a matter of self control...not unreasonable assault.

Isn't it nice that you can voice your opinion? I think it's nice.
I also think it's nice that they can voice theirs as well.
Doncha think that's nice?

One can loose a lot of respect for others in there. Try it, by all means.

It's easy to separate wheat from dirt. Not so easy to separate wheat from chaff.

In follow-up to my last post here, and my apologies to all for hijacking the thread for a moment: I owe Dennis an apology. While I adhere to the
message in my prior post (above - re "slobbering" and not wanting him as a Scrabble partner), having researched the "propensity" "proclivity"
dichotomy, I find that they are not necessarily mutually exclusive, such that Dennis' usage of "propensity" was not something I should have attempted
to correct. Sorry, Dennis.

I've tried to get on but my password didn't get me there. The original question has not been answered.
