Put me in the column who think that these "How Many" threads are silly and are getting out of hand.

I guess that the answer would be for EVERYONE to open a "How Many" thread. A few hundred would, no doubt, require administrative action.

Of course, it's easy enough to simply ignore them. Eventually, it will work out somehow.

Addendum:

I just noticed that there is one for "Baja Nose-Pickers". I'm surprised it only shows 10 responses. Based on observances, there are lots of those.

I've really enjoyed the HOM MANY threads as it gives me a little insight into the lives of the Nomads I have grown to love and respect and those I don't care much for too...the nomad profiles don't give much info at all but it's cool to find out who's who in this zoo! Also it gives me an idea of what folks are like before they come to visit us...nice to have a little background. Different strokes for different blokes ya'll.....aguanta...put up with it or go eat worms! Viva sillyness!

Si! Ole! Viva Silliness!

I agree here. A little silliness is harmless and fun. And it reveals more about the writer. What a great group here. I've ignored the nose picker posts but only becauses I'm not in that group.

I've almost posted: How many Deadheads are on this Board? Saw Jerry driving crazily on Hgy. 19 recently.

:cool:

Oooops!

Had I realized that my post on the nose-picker was going to provide anyone with insight into the Real Me, I would not have mentioned the nose hairs.

Jeeeez...

I guess I really am an instigator. I shoulda just left the cops to do their own thing again.

I really was shooting for some teamwork for a carpentry party for Mulege. Looks like we may have a three man crew.

Carpenters don't pick their noses, they clean their air filters.
And, they're always on the level.

Bruce R Leech - 10-10-2006 at 10:48 AM

what is worse the How Many posts or those who want to tell everyone what they should and shouldn't post :?:

there are some of the How Many posts that I didn't even open. but come on who could resist the nose picking one or How many 18 yr old nymphomaniacs with father fixation hangups on older guys? :lol:

we need a laugh now and then.

Amen Bruce! :bounce:

Agree with AmoPescar about the silly posts not having anything to do with Baja. :bounce:

After the turmoil, stress and heartache that "John" brought, a little silliness is a good thing.

A well developed sense of humor is an indicator of an intelligent person. :yes:

Basta! No Mas! Time to head for Fred's place

thebajarunner - 10-10-2006 at 11:40 AM

To all you Newbies that blew in with the big storm,
Welcome, and here is some advice,
When it gets too silly (stupid) over here,
Just go on over to Fred's board,
It is quiet, relaxed, informative, and not silly,
Just some advice from an 'oldie', do with it what you will.

FARASHA - 10-10-2006 at 12:18 PM

WHO'S FRED????And WHAT BOARD???
Quiet, informative,relaxed and NOT SILLY???
WHO needs THAT??
Maybe we should go there and change that :biggrin:

From a NEWBIE (well not sooo new, but..)

Hey Farasha...rave on...see ya on Fred's Bored....it could use a little spiciing up and I always fall asleep reading it. Don't like the format either.

Noooooo, you ain't gonna 'change that' at Fred's

The nice part about Fred's place is that when people get silly/stupid then Fred and Tim just zap it off the page.
Dumb stuff has a half life of zippppo!
That is why it is an 'oasis' when things get out of hand here.

FARASHA - 10-11-2006 at 02:39 AM

FREEDOM OF SPEECH OR CENCORSHIP ?
What is applicable to a NOMAD? :?:

Skeet/Loreto - 10-11-2006 at 03:54 AM

The "Free Speech" demonstrated by some of the so-called "Free Speech Groups" is nothing but a DISPLAY OF FEAR', they are in Fear of what the Speaker may Say, because of their Weak-minds.

Their understanding of Truth, leaves a lot to be Desired!

A Nomad who has traveled Baja, knows the People and some of the History has a much better understanding of Life, their own Culture and that of the Mexican People.

The exception to the above is those that go to Baja to Get Drunk, use Drugs, Go Naked on the Beech, and do those other things that they might feel constrained to do in the States.

MY, MY!! YOU TALK ABOUT ME POSTING LIKE A CHILD!!!....and you...

Skeet/Loreto

SEEM to be a big advocate of FREE SPEECH. Yet when someone expresses their opinion, you jump all over them and call them a "CHILD." I GUESS FREE SPEECH DOESN'T APPLY TO EVERYONE!!
I never said everyone had to conform to my idea of "TOO MANY." I was only offering MY opinion of the postings.

However, when someone turns on the Nomad board trying to read "Baja" subject matter, should we really have to filter through all the silliness on the TODAY'S POSTINGS" to try and read something about Baja?? In my humble, FREE SPEECH opinion, I don't think so.

AND...TO THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK WE NEED TO HAVE SOME HUMOR...

I couldn't agree more...I LOVE humor and think there should be more of it in our world!! But there is a place and time for everything, and sometimes it can be TOO much.

As an example...I love to read the comics/funny pages in the paper. I read them everyday, always have and always will. BUT...I take the paper to read the NEWS. If it was 50 pages of comics and 3 pages of news stories, I'd be looking for another source for my news stories.

So, what I'm saying is...I like to read the Nomad Board and I don't want to go to some other board to get my Baja news and information!!!!

And Hey...no matter how much you disagree with me and MY opinion, I still like ALL of you!

QuePasaBaja - 10-11-2006 at 11:11 PM

People on the internet take things to seriously. They get all peey about noting.
Its just like watching parents at a little league game.

FARASHA - 10-11-2006 at 11:41 PM

GOOD to see that there are people that are NOMADS by spirit.After lots of pressure and desperation after JOHN it was a need to just vent of some of the moods. Being silly is ONE way. :spingrin:

And Michel: I agree as much with you as with QuepasaBaja and the rest of people,I am for TOLERANCE for all people, Like to hear from ALL, whatever they have to say. As long as it's not insulting. Or harassing.Or threatening.
Respecting other peoples way of thinking or enjoying something.I just can learn from others, isn't it?
Humor is defined by "laughing about yourself", some can't.

Can there be TOO MANY'S of something that feels good?
Just when it comes to my stomach - than it can be too many of something :biggrin:

can tell you....on another thread ?

AmoPescar - 10-12-2006 at 12:02 AM

I AGREE WITH YOU FARASHA AND QUEPASA...

It really doesnt do any good to take things so seriously and get all P.O'd. about it. People don't need to call names and make fun of somebody else's shortcomings, postings or whatever.

And like I said, I LOVE humor. But sometimes, it can go too far. Like when I see the comedian Robin Williams on Jay Leno. He's funny for awhile, but then he seems to get crazier as he goes on. He never knows when to stop. He keeps making jokes and comments even while the next guest is on and it's their turn to have the spotlight.

Michael :yes:

...

BTW Farasha...you have quite a good sense of humor and know how to have a little fun with some of your replies...LOL.

FARASHA - 10-12-2006 at 01:09 AM

:biggrin:

GREW UP with a joke a day!!By just seeing myself in the mirror every morning, told that image "hey who are you -don't know you, but what the heck I'll brush your teeth anyway!!!

Nomads ROCK!

M - 10-12-2006 at 05:25 PM

It is obvious we are all 'Baja folk' or we wouldn't be on this board in the first place. When you first open this site, you have many options regarding discussions of various subjects. When one chooses 'general discussion' we should be able to do just that. It is always asked at one time or another, "what does this have to do with Baja"? everything. When I go to a baja gathering to meet other Nomads many things are discussed, jobs, vehicles, spouses, even farts and nose picking. Baja is not just a place, it's a frame of mind. Being on a general discussion board with other baja nomads is EVERYTHING to do with baja, even if the subject matter covers many areas, silly or serious. Now, how many siamese cat owners are out there?
hugs,
M

FARASHA - 10-13-2006 at 02:17 AM

Thats what I thought too M, but seems some Nomads don't.
When I joined the BOARD I thought the folks here are Nomads by spirit as I am.
Had a tru NOMADe (a desert dweller) teaching me the philosophy of it, with a simple Rhyme
"strong as the desert, (with the stamina and endurance to go through Life)
soft as the sea, (wellcoming all with tolerance)
walking with the wind(adapt to changes),
for ever Free ! (to be flexible in mind and have room for all)"

And NO Sorry, I'm not owing a SIAMESE CAT-but they are cute and lovely! And being a NOMADE most of my life I can't afford to keep a cat now, will happen again when I'm settling finally.
a hug in return F

But, it is not a "Chat Room"

thebajarunner - 10-13-2006 at 09:14 AM

M, I must respectfully disagree with your assent to the new wave of chatter.... sorry Luv, but we are on different pages.

Discussion is wonderful, that is why we are here.

Chat Room is for another breed of folks, and I fear that that is somehow where Nomad has headed in recent weeks.
(I have had private messages from others who carry that same thought, by the way)

So, simple answer, if we can discuss, and exchange ideas and info, as in the past, then terrific.

If Nomad turns into a Chat Room, well, then I, for one, am OUTTA HERE!!!

Hope that clarifies what some of us oldtimers feel,

And, if the majority rules and chat prevails, so be it.

It just won't include some of us geezers.

(Hugs, anyway)

Hi Runner..

M - 10-13-2006 at 10:37 AM

Yes, I can see your point of view and respect it also, however, I still feel that occasional silliness is a relief to slow board days, and it also offers an opportunity to explore different sides to peoples personality. I love the humorous banter. If some Nomads resent a particular thread, they simply don't have to open it, just scroll down untill you find a thread that is 'acceptable'. MANY people have posted on the silly threads, so I would have to assume that those threads serve a purpose after all. Should those Nomads be denied THEIR interests because a few object? There are 2 groups on this board, 1) ALL/ONLY Baja talk, 2)Baja Nomads enjoying all discussions on the general discussion board. I know what group you are in Runner, I'm in the other, I just hope you don't think any less of me because of it, and I certainly hope we don't loose any Nomads over silly resentments.

Hugs to all, even the grouches,
M

MMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm

thebajarunner - 10-13-2006 at 02:17 PM

No hard feelings, pretty lady.
I am not quite as polarized as you think,
however, your class 2, as noted, is clearly not a focus that this board is all about.
I don't mind some occasional personal stuff,
but, I keep the personal off the board.
For instance, Bernie and I do a lot of communicating, about the book, about current events, etc.
You guys don't want to hear all that (nor do we wish to share it)
Actually, the last few days it has smoothed out and looks like the initial wave of chat chat has passed, let us hope so.
Cheers, hugs, and all that

Speaking of humor
