BajaNomad - Anonymous Unregistered in Baja

Anonymous Unregistered in Baja

Bruce R Leech - 8-15-2005 at 10:34 AM

It is to bad that these artificial Anons in Baja are ruining this fetcher for all of the new users that it was designed to help.But If you other Nomads with Baja interests continue to post under Baja Q&A you will continue to feed Anonymous. most of the posts regarding Baja can be made under General Baja Discussion. also you will get more response from Nomads rather than Anon.

I am very reluctant to answer any posts made on Baja Q&A or others that allow Anon to post. and I will no longer answer an anon poster

it is to bad that a few bad apples can effect so many good Nomads

what I'm looking for is the Input of other Nomads. with Baja Interests do you think this is a good idea or bad?

do you think I have a point or not?

Do you think I'm crazy or what?

I originally started Anonymous Unregistered thread under General Baja Discussion and it mysteriously got moved to Suggestions, Comments, or Issues dose this tell you something. I think some one wants anon on here more than the Nomads.

so I am trying again to see if it will stick where I intended to be . this must have Bent caused by some kind of software glitch because no mention was made of editing by a moderator,

Looks like it stuck !
I agree that the anon postings are getting a bit out of hand.
I think it's pretty low for a registered user to hide behind the anon user name. The only solution would be to stop allowing anon posts at all. This would only require that all new users take a few minutes to register. I don't see the problem with that.
Some of our posters are fairly anonymous anyway, just with a name to make their posts easier to follow. So why not use a name ??

Heck. I'm using my name. So do a lot of others. Those that don't, leave me with huge visions of "monsters, ex cons, drug dealers, trouble makers, liars, fabricators, expounders, and guys with little 'wee wee's'!!!!! Oh yes. Some folks forget to sign in correctly, and I'm not pointing my fingers at them. It's the continual useage folks of anon. I'm for having anons "zapped" from access. If an anon wants to be 'unknown' let him/her go down under the bridge and communicate with those folks. Dave. Any thoughts on why you haven't set up the 'system' to omit access to the site by the anon's??? Phil S

Diver - 8-15-2005 at 11:27 AM

Did you get another U2 from DK ?? :lol:

Why perpetuate this lie? Has any 'newbie' come forward to say I u2u'd them with warnings about jrbaja? Has jr proved his lie to you with ANY evidence?

I don't need to warn anyone (if I thought it was necessary), they can see for themselves if they like the constant negative along with a few nice photos... I like the photos myself. I want the negative, hate, lies to end... it is getting so old and it is ruining this board.

Bruce, the Q & A forum is a place where anyone can try and get a quick answer to a Baja travel question. So, taking the time to register (if they just have a quick question) will likely steer them away. However, it is hoped that they get some nice replies and that may encourage them to become Nomads... 'Anons' can be anyone, new or registered Nomads who want to be just that, anonymous. Because so many are getting attacked here for being a gringo or non-Baja resident, they probably prefer to not have a personal attack that will lead to lies being attached to their registered name.

I did not receive no have I ever received an Unsolicited u2u or email from David K

Diver - 8-15-2005 at 07:44 PM

Just kidding, David ! You know, Ha Ha !?!?
S-E-N-S-E O-F H-U-M-O-U-R; ever heard of it ?
Give your self-involved, overly-defensive mantra a break and lighten up !
More people might like you if you let them !

Re: Anons
If it's too much trouble for them to take a few minuted to register than maybe they don't have that much interest in Baja. I think there's much more good cause to register than reason not to.

Sorry about ending that sentence with a preposition; no offense intended, which reminds me of the story about the elderly souther gentle-lady who boarded a plane. As she sat down, she turned to the lady and her husband sitting in the seats next to her and said " Hello thereyoung lady, lovely day to fly, and where are ya'all from ?
The wife looked at her sternly and said " We are from a place where people do not end their sentences with prepositions."
With the same kind face she had asked the original question, the southern gentle-lady smiled and asked " Well, then where are ya'all from b-tch ?"

Sorry, my weird sense of humour go the best of me again ! :lol:

Diver - 8-15-2005 at 07:46 PM

Thanks for clearing that up Bruce !
I never really thought you did !! :light:

I know I should have left well enough, alone; but I'm feeling spunky today !
That's a good thing for me !

If you Poke somebody in the forehead often enough, they get a sore spot there......

(you can finish the rest of the joke and analogy)

David K - 8-15-2005 at 08:20 PM

Yes, my head has been sore... thanks Bedman for explaining to Diver what deminishes my sense of humor...

Diver, if that was a 'funny' then I apologize for being defensive.

Now, how about more 'Baja California' and less 'Nomad Member' discussions??? :tumble:

elgatoloco - 8-15-2005 at 08:59 PM

I WOULD NEVER CONSIDER POSTING ANONYMOUSLY

But I support someone's right to do the same.

I also want all here to know that I will use my last breath to stand up for your right to an opinion no matter how wrong it may be. :biggrin:

Respectfully,

elgatoloco

capt. mike - 8-16-2005 at 04:43 AM

Matt - ... spoken like a true constitutionalist!!

and i concur. :cool:

Diver, funny stuff, keep it up. this place gets so dry at times.......

Dk u2u

jerry - 8-16-2005 at 08:59 AM

the only u2u i recived from Dk was about stickers period. nothing else was mentioned by him i can make up my own mind
have a good one

comitan - 8-16-2005 at 09:10 AM

since people are answering about u2u's from DK my answer would be the same as jerrys, Iv'e been driving around about a month now haven't gotten one comment about my stickers. But I do like them thanks DK.

David K - 8-16-2005 at 06:12 PM

You are welcome Jerry and Comitan!

To be clear, I responded to your request for the stickers, I did not solicit Nomads for orders on the u2u or email... just mentioning them on the forums.

Folks, they are still FREE and I even pay for the stamps and envelopes... So if you would like a 'got baja?' sticker, please email me your mail address to: info*at*vivabaja.com and put 'got baja' or 'sticker' in the subject line.

These are weatherproof, UV ink won't fade, designed and made in Baja Califorinia by Antonio and Lorenia's printing company. Baja Angel trimmed the one she put on her Jeep to the oval shape... looks great that way!

There is already 'got (everything else)?' stickers out there, so Baja freaks, now you can get even!!!

I feel it mah duty to point out another grammatical error.

As every Southerner knows:

"Y'all" is singular; "all y'all" is plural.

Bruce R Leech - 8-16-2005 at 06:30 PM

I sure get a lot of comments on my got baja stickers thank you David K.

Pops - 8-16-2005 at 06:31 PM

The difference between Southern girls and Northern girls is Northern girls say "You can"
and Southern girls say "Y'all can"

Diver - 8-16-2005 at 07:05 PM

I too have only recieved one email or u2 from DK and it was to send me some free stickers. My only beef is that I'm still looking for a "NEED BAJA" sticker !!

David K - 8-16-2005 at 07:52 PM

That will go into the suggestion box Diver!

I may do a new version of my original 'Viva Baja' sticker after these 'got baja?' stickers run out.

I like: 'CAUTION: Driver has Baja Fever!' but it is too wordy for a sticker, maybe a license plate frame would work better?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before one of the sour grapes posters says something, let me be clear: The stickers and my web site are to promote Baja California, and not me...

I suggest they go on your property, otherwise only where there already are a bunch of stickers (best with owners permission)... like at Cielito Lindo, Mama Espinoza's, Rancho Santa Ynez, Alfonsina's, etc. Do not remove other web site's stickers or paste over them (as have been done to mine), be more mature than 'them'... I think Baja is big enough for us all. :yes:
