It is so much different and the people living in TJ and that area seem not to have any idea of the Wide open Spaces of Baja Sur.

My take on this is that first and foremost, Jesse is a businessman. I have to believe that being a presence on the Nomad forum has brought him considerable business over the years.

So, it makes little sense that he would quit forever.

I noted someone's post that said Jesse had been making anti-American comments lately. If memory serves me, Jesse told me years ago that he grew up in Canada. Don't know if he has Canadian citizenship, but I would not be surprised.

As I said, if makes little sense for a business person to abandon a forum such as this given the low cost advertising involved.

Unless someone actually knows me personally I consider any "personal attack" on a 'mostly' anonymous discussion board more of an opinion, and we all know that opinions are like buttcracks, everyone is one, right? Oh and if they do know me and make a personal attack then I just let the air out of their tires next time I see them in THE BAJA. :dudette:

Jesse, don't sweat the small stuff. See you in La Paz someday soon.

Just do it. :light:

This appears to be the part in Iflyfish's psychological analysis from Dr. Berne's book where the victim says something to get attention.

I was thinking of that same post by IFlyFish from yesterday. A "kick me" thing by a victim to gain sympathy. You don't have to announce you are leaving if you really want to leave- you just do it. He needs to reinvent himself a third time anyway- just like Baja has.

A "Kick Me" participant never wants to end the game. Here there is an announcement that the game is over. This is very different.

CortezBlue - 11-27-2011 at 08:59 PM

yes, there are many buttcracks on here, but if you point them out, you will be censored.

Goog luck, and keep your eye's open a better forum is just around the bend.

BajaBlanca - 11-27-2011 at 09:13 PM

some of the sagest advice came from lemcho a while back in the thread, IMO:

1) Discuss the content, not the messenger.

sometimes the messenger is attacked where really, ONLY the information is what should be discussed.

and someone else mentioned that those who are banned can return under another alias ... this is something that should most certainly be addressed.

I certainly hope that Jesse does return - it is important to have another side mentioned and he has always been ready to give "the other side" of the story. This would be a big loss to our community.

I'll miss you Jessie, I still use your yellowfin tuna recipe, allthough, some steps are clearly missing, it's like a suicide person, if they announce it, they want help, if they off themselfs, they are for real. I think you can look at the join date and # of posts and get a feeling for the problem people.

Puckdrop - 12-2-2011 at 07:21 AM

This is not the first nor the last BN that will post this type of notice. I think it's only a cry for attention. To see just how many BN will respond and try to convince them in not going. Sorry, I've seen this before. If they really want out, all they have to do is hit delete. Not respond to any treads or just as many say here, troll in the back ground. Jesse has been around a long time and BN is like a drug, you can stop for awhile but you will never kick the habit or never leave welcome to the hotel California BAJA

Most of the time the reason somebody does something is for the reason they give:

He wanted more moderation on nomads. It didn't happen. So he left.

His postings were from a perspective that we would not get without him.

David K - 12-2-2011 at 03:36 PM

Well, he is just moved to a happier place (for him)... Not sure if Ron will ever need to 'police' his forum more than what is moderated here, but it can happen.. or folks can just ignore the postings that they don't like instead of leaving. I do miss a lot of Nomads who just quit posting when they didn't like the ugly stuff that sometimes pops up. I know, it just isn't worth it anymore for them. But, I suggest you take what you like and pass over what you don't. A thumbs up or possitive comment to good quality posts and ignoring the negative ones would be great for Doug and others to see.

It was better when we got together once a year or so to party in person. I think people treat each other better when they have met the others they chat with or read on Nomad.

I miss the Viva Baja parties, M's BBBB campouts, the Pyramid Resort Book Signings, the Baja Cactus Tijuana and El Rosario festivals, and 'Matomi Gang' runs! I met most of you at those events. Met Jesse at the first Baja Cactus party (at jrbaja's place)...

I hope someone will have the energy to host another event like one of the above for the Baja fans of the Internet.

Maybe Mr. 187 himself, the BajaNomads Baja crime reporter, the Baja crime town crier, will sponsor a happening at the Tijuana morgue. He can point out all of the dead Americans as we sip Pacifico's and partake in fish tacos.

Not that you'd care, but you just went up 500 points on my score card. Self-deprecating humor shows a side of you not obvious in most of your posts and is a big plus in my book since it usually denotes a certain amount of humility--something in short supply in this world.

Yep, that was Skeet, even though he has chosen to erase the leading post of the thread, leaving it up in the air as to what poster number two is saying is a great idea.

MrBillM - 12-31-2011 at 10:54 PM

Forever ?

Or Not ?

Past History is replete with reminders of those Leaving Forever who didn't. Along with those who didn't even leave in the first place.

I'm still waiting for Babs Streisand, Alec Baldwin and others to leave the U.S. as they promised. I suppose that they would have come back after 11-08, but at least they could have kept their promise for awhile.
