Ignored the post on Signatures for a while....then read page ONE, skipped to page FIVE and then moved on to page SEVEN to comment.

I am mostly impressed...by what I am not sure...but impressed none the less.

Wow!

And it is all about Baja.

Interesting, wasn't it Bernie. Perhaps it was the "Feeding Frenzy" atmosphere of it all. Humans eating humans is always a thrill to watch.

I too igniored the post until it got so many views and pages, then I always take a look to see what all the fuss is about and found it fascinating, addictive and illluminating....lots of true colours (cdn.sp) shining through. Freedom is a baja spirit as is revolt.

I only read enough to see if there was something I had missed- nope, didn't miss much.

Looked to me like a bunch of folks trying to pad their "personal post" tallies.

Cannot believe I just wasted a half hour reading that crap..It's your fault Shari, you elitist Canexican!!

Whew...I dodged a bullet. Ok, I am back on my hormone replacement therapy drugs. I must have had a suicide by host/moderator meltdown. I may still make it to Senior Nomad.

I must thank Dennis for being such a great hostage negotiator. He brought me to my senses and made me realize it was not necessary to flush myself down the drain. He also made me realize that I should stop holding hostage the non-elitist unwashed member anymore because I too am one of the unwashed. Thanks again Dennis.

All Hail Dennis! I kiss his unwashed ring. :lol:

To all the unwashed members of Baja Nomad I apologize to each and every one of you who had to put up with my big extended signature.

To all the Elitists in here I do not apologize. I just say do not rear your ugly head again. Get a clue! ~~The people in charge do not want to hear from you if all you are doing is complaining about others.~~

FOR THE RECORD: I happen to like David K and his posts. He is very knowledgeable regarding “La Baja” and perhaps the most unwashed member on Baja Nomad. Elitist, who, David K; I hardly think so. It's ok if you poke him with a stick every now and again because he is tough. Just don't beat him with one.

The above statement is pure B.S. The Moderators welcome any and all input from others.
Even the more than 2 dozen in the past 2 days complaining about no one else but elvest18.
I do not need anyone else posting my thoughts or needs I am can handle it myself.

I stand corrected and grovel at your feet Hose A as I kiss your unwashed ring. You are the best.

NOTE TO ALL: The unwashed I refer to are not the Elitists. That should be obvious since I was kissing Dennis' unwashed ring earlier.

Yeah, Bernie!

I got drowsy somewhere around the second page. (Not angry or upset, just drowsy). I-I-I-I-I-I-IIIIIIIII just woke up. What day is this? What happened. Do you think I need to go back and catch up on all the days and pages I missed :?:

.............Naw-h-h-h-h-h-h! I think not! :yawn:

I don't think I am "elite" enough to get what all the fuss was about. :rolleyes:

BajaGringo - 6-12-2008 at 02:34 PM

So...

Does this mean we get to talk about signatures some more?

As a pure bystander on this - I haven't been around long enough to be considered either an Elitest or unwashed. I am also so old and ugly that neither side would probably want to recruit me anyway.

With my official neutrality credentials validated and having read the entire thread through, in addition to a few others here for some background and point of reference, I feel HIGHLY QUALIFIED to make the following statement:

I think that a few of you here are just a tad bit too sensitive and need to learn to take a step back and be able to laugh a bit at some of this stuff. Getting your panties in a wad over online forum back and forth remarks just seems like an over-reaction on your part. In reading the signature thread it seems to me that was just a way of bringing the "over-reaction" by some back into balance on the subject. It was funny if you can let your anger down and just look at it from that perspective.

Cheeeeel Owwwwwttt Meeeeaaaannnnn!!!!!!!!
In my BEST Cheech and Chong Impression Voice

That is my opinion and I am HIGHLY QUALIFIED to make any and all representations as to my opinions. I own them and reserve the right to state them, repeat them, revise them, forget them, deny them and reverse them.

Any comments to the contrary will be forwarded to the moderators with an accompanying letter from my attorney stating that we will fight for my rights in court to protect my rights to such opinion powers and control of said powers.

Now what was this all about again? Can we start this over from the beginning in case I missed something???

:cool:

CaboRon - 6-12-2008 at 06:19 PM

OK, here goes ...

Should we form a line as to the original order of our posts ?

Or, can we just randomly post them ?

Maybe Roberto would like to start the ball rolling since he started the original signatures thread. :lol:

ELINVESTIG8R - 6-12-2008 at 07:41 PM

Dennis I was once a nice easy going Baja Nomad Member posting here and there as most will attest to until one day some of the privileged few decided to come after me. It's obvious to me who feels they are privileged here in Baja Nomad. Their own posts reveal them to be just that. I will not name screen names.

I am not sure who I am. I have already been told today that I am either offensive or stupid. Or I could be both - they didn't make that 100% clear. So based on that, which camp do I belong to?

Remember, I am the offensive/stupid kind of guy, so type slowly and use a lot of profanity which I am more likely to understand...

If I were advertising my website in the signature box below my statements, I wouldn't be acting like such a child. It affects your credibility and that of your site. For your own sake, grow up.

ELINVESTIG8R - 6-12-2008 at 07:59 PM

BajaGringo I would not put you in the Elitist category but an Unwashed Wiseacre Member maybe. This is ok though. As many of the Unwashed Members are Wiseacres. Just watch Dennis’ posts. He’s the Master Wiseacre. Go ahead Dennis tell him you resemble that remark.

That particular website is a personal one and of no commercial value to me. If it were, I wouldn't post it in a forum here such as this. That would just seem a bit sleazy. So I am free to be as offensive and stupid as I want, to my hearts content.

I can't for the life of me figure out why that suddenly bothers you now Dennis. You were the one who first painted me with those titles just minutes ago in another thread. I am just using them since you decided they were appropriate. I haven't called you a single name in here in spite of all that and even said "nice to meet you anyway" after you did label me with those names in that thread.

And I am the one who needs to "grow up"?

Gee Dennis, that is your post. I don't know about you but that is what I get out of that. I followed the thread in question to the last post and to date saw no retraction on your part. I am a moderator on a few forums and couldn't imagine making such a remark to someone I hadn't ever exchanged a post or conversation with first.

I thought you made yourself very clear in that as well as with your secondary assessment of me as being "childish"...

Gosh, you know me so well.

It's still nice to meet you...

UnoMas - 6-12-2008 at 08:33 PM

Unfortunately this is the way Baja Nomads seems to be migrating :?:

Seems that there are many that think they control this board and are ready to pounce on any posts if it doesn't fit their mold. This used to be a great place to ask a question or get information. Lighten up and try not to be so insensitive to the Newbie who just wants to find info or the old poster that maybe should not have posted when they did, but stop the personal attack's. It is going to kill this great board. :no:

BajaGringo - 6-12-2008 at 08:39 PM

Thanks UnoMas, but it's no big deal. I am active on many forums and moderate others. This happens from time to time with some online and I am used to it by now. It seems really important to him.

I am just going to go and enjoy a Cadillac Margarita...

ELINVESTIG8R - 6-12-2008 at 08:46 PM

Dennis you are still my hero. Remember I even bowed and kissed your Unwashed Members Ring when you successfully talked me out of committing suicide by host/moderator. Will you please shake hands with BajaGringo and forget he rubbed you the wrong way. He is a Wiseacre like you so let him be who he is. We need more unwashed members like him to stand up to the Elitists in here who think they run the kingdom. Just a thought Dennis. And Dennis don't judge him by his mug-shot either. Look at mine I am a no prize either and you like me. :lol:

BajaGringo - 6-12-2008 at 09:55 PM

No problem with me. I said many times that it was nice to meet him, trying to get past that initial whatever it was that happened on that other thread.

I'll say it again...

Nice to meet you Dennis.

I probably am a stupid, offensive pig (the newest one you added) but I am who I am. I guess I am childish if you say so. And you know what? I don't get my panties all in a wad over it.

I lost a 14 year old daughter four years ago Dennis and since then, I let this stuff roll off me like water off a duck's back. Nothing can ever reach me anymore since dealing with that. If you notice, I haven't once resorted to name calling or anything even close. I might be guilty of repeating something you posted. If and when I post something that you can throw back in my face I will expect the same. I am a big boy - I can take it. In fact I welcome it. Keeps life from getting boring...

I hold no grudges - life is too short. It's a lesson I learned up close and personal four years ago...

Have a nice day.

Dennis, I took your follow-up post to that initial post as sarcastic. If I was wrong, my apologies. Just goes to show that I really am stupid as you originally suggested. (in addition to being offensive, childish and a pig) Reading that, you are starting to sound like my ex-wife. One of the problems in posting in these online forums is that we only get to read the text on screen. Without hearing the tone of the posters voice, facial expression or body language we are left free to interpret the post and its true intent at times.

The fact that I had no idea who you are or even shared a single exchange online is what initially caused my reaction when you responded to my simple and honest question insinuating that I was either “extremely stupid”, “extremely offensive”, or both. Not an initial post I would make to anybody online I was posting a response to for the first time, but to each his own.

I probably am a “wiseacre” in addition the other titles I have already been labeled with here in this thread and others. Won’t ruin my day. Come to think about it, maybe I’ll add them to my signature. That way folks will know what to expect from me.

I appreciate your condolences, it was the biggest kick in the teeth life has given me so far and something I am still figuring out how to get through. Olivia will always be daddy’s little girl and the website in my sig is a dedication to her.

I see that you are in Punta Banda, about an hour and a beer south of here. If you are ever heading north, I live just north of Rosarito in San Antonio del Mar. PM me and I’ll invite you to stop by the house. I make a great Cadillac Margarita. Face to face this will probably all make a lot more sense.

Okay, this unwashed Gringo is going to go find some Kahlua to give this cup of coffee some flavor…

Thank you Tomas Tierra. I was looking for the meaning of CCG earlier. It must mean the same thing. Someone said a deceased member named JR used to use that statement about the elitist in here. Chicken Coup Grouper. Good one JR. Rest in Peace my brother.
