What happenend to Skeet's posts?

Dave - 9-11-2010 at 11:45 AM

I enjoy reading them.

First the NYC mosque, then Quran burning...now this?

Did Doug get a call from the White House?

DENNIS - 9-11-2010 at 11:53 AM

I don't know. There's some left in the Baja Sur thread, but it looks like he's working from front to back deleting them.
Very strange. This is tantamount to book-burning. The Orwellian mind control method of New-Speak. Fahrenheit 451.
Gawd...wadda we do?

Maybe it's the old Lincoln joke revisited. Skeet sobered up and is now trying to get right with God. Happens to the best of us.

BajaNomad - 9-11-2010 at 12:07 PM

Looks to be Skeet's own doing.

Iflyfish - 9-11-2010 at 12:17 PM

Yeah....figured it was. I'm sure you have a more surgical method at your disposal.

In the short time that I've been a Nomad I've enjoyed reading some of his old stuff. I must admit that I almost LOL'd off of my seat with the apple tree post but I can understand why the person that it was directed at was offended. I enjoy reading all of the post's here and especially the pictures. You gente really rock and I appreciate your love for Baja.

Looks to be Montag's work. I heard Red Salamander's sirens going off last night.

Hey - I wasn't offended. Wasn't my favorite post but as Dennis said, in Skeet's own way it was eloquent. :lol:

Don't go blamin' me for the disappearance of Skeet's posts.

when people write drunken posts, outrageous things -- be sure to hit reply-quote to capture the text before the dude/chick sobers up :lol:

It's one of two things.......either the CIA has finally pulled him out of retirement and he needs to pass his security clearance.....or he has finally decided to live the rest of his life on a motorcycle....nekkid...... :cool:

This ain't no fun

Dave - 9-11-2010 at 12:36 PM

Doug, you might as well have put this thread in the golf forum.

If this keeps up... like the Cheshire Cat, soon all will be left is his grin.

I predict that shortly the URL will be posted where Skeet's head has popped-up through the gopher hole in someone else's flower garden. There are a number of, in my judgement, inferior Baja discussion boards on the net.

A plot

The Gull - 9-11-2010 at 02:03 PM

Mexican drug cartel members captured Skeet and are requiring him to delete posts. It is all part of the great conspiracy theory.

Don your aluminum foil hats, folks.

Name a few.

Fred's board, Baja Expo, Pat Chica's board, Baja Quest

BajaNomad - 9-11-2010 at 07:37 PM

Noticing that Fishabductor has deleted many (100's?) of his most recent posts today as well.

Too bad.

Too bad, miss both.

I can see Skeet now, up on Brokeback Mountain, on his favorite mount, hand rolled doobie hanging out the side of his sly Texas grin. Brings tears to my eyes.

Too bad. I thought he was a good addition to our group. His enthusiasm for fishing will be missed.

Perhaps he'll reconsider, though. Diane went through a phase like this at one time as well.

I agree. I enjoy his posts. Great "outdoors" stuff and you know he knows what he's talking about.
I hope he hangs in here.

Pompano - 9-12-2010 at 08:18 AM

Another Nomad casualty.

Suicide?....or was he murdered?

A little of both...I think.

Not that Fred's board....

i didn't know Carlos had a foorum at baja expo?
Chica's forums are great but cater more to off road crowd. they don't try to ne all things baja. IMHO.

Come back Skeeter, Come back. I want to play with you!

Fred Metcalf's board is the original board for Baja California travelers. His first internet site was an FTP download site with information pages, then he created the web site. It was the only Baja California site with significant travel information for the whole peninsula - circa '94/'95 (that I am - or was - aware of at least). Fred's site is what inspired me to create a Baja-specific website at that time (actually, two).
