BajaNomad - Nothing here anymore...Gone with the Wind.

Nothing here anymore...Gone with the Wind.

Pompano - 3-4-2011 at 02:52 PM

This thread ...and the future one.. is dead...killed by bad manners and small minds. Whatever happened to civility on this forum? If this trend of sarcasm and insults on Nomads has become so commonplace and continues to be accepted, then I will gladly quit.

Thanks the Gods that there are folks not rotting away in their easy chairs. My horned hat is off to this group of "go getters" of life.

Pompano is a great PR guy too......wish I had him back in the 80-90's for my clubs!

Marty..oh, I've seen a few scattered around the globe in certain 'hotspot areas'. As for our resident hippie population in Baja..well, it's kinda like this...

..Baja has been has been hanging out with the hippies since the 60's.

I'm damn proud to call lots of them amigos. :yes:

woody... I have known a lot of these Baja 'ol timers for a long, long time. I daresay they did..and still are doing...a helluva lot more than you seem to think. I doubt you have anywhere near the years of experience these people have in Baja. And I got to give you a little warning....some of these old timers are kinda rough around the edges and not exactly pacifists.

Rudeness is a weak man's imitation of strength. Do you also disrepect your parents and grandparents with such statements?
If so, I urge you to feel free not to read any future posts I may make about Baja 'ol timers....such as myself. I'm really older than dirt, y'know and relatively harmless. :saint:

Sorry. does this mean i'm no longer invited to raid your freezer when you are in panama?

some enterprising mexican could make good money opening a shop in mulege to sell XL and XXL hawaiian shirts, tie-die t-shirts, cargo shorts and mens pony tail scrunchies; and capri mom jeans.

before you flame me, lighten up a bit. i wear HI shirts and cargo shorts (thank god my little woman doesn't wear mom jeans)
:lol:

mtgoat666 - 3-4-2011 at 08:07 PM

p.s. nobody has gotten a hand job in cargo shorts since 'nam!

jenny.navarrette - 3-4-2011 at 08:34 PM

How come there is not even one Messican in the whole joint? Aren't they allowed? Mexico apartheid?

Anyone...anyone?

Morning Mike...I got pyssed at the same old boring peanut gallery crap on Nomads...so I deleted the thread. Why let anyone make fun of friends?

Look for a copy in my post about Strange Lady's skipper.

Say a prayer to the wind gods and let's all get out for some fishing soon!

mcfez - 3-5-2011 at 07:26 AM

I wouldnt let a few here dictate to whether you post pictures or not. We "the majority" enjoyed the pictures.

mcfez...nobody has 'dictated' anything to me for a long, long time. I am just a little old-fashioned about manners and I make my own decisions.

woody with a view - 3-5-2011 at 07:31 AM

i'll say it again.

Sorry. if i offended you or your friends. it was not my intention.

i guess humor is not one of my strong attributes.

and, not that it really matters, but maybe re-read both sentances i wrote, not just the one that set you off. here it is....

"at least they all got a smile on their faces! it's all that counts. :light:

"

either way...

Wow, I missed the photos and "I can't believe this"... all in one.

David K - 3-5-2011 at 07:43 AM

Roger, you bring a lot of joy and happiness to countless folks... Far more than the few of us who post on this forum or who are even registered here.

Please do not let the few idiots who post crappolla chase you away or cause you anger... They have tried for eons of Nomad years to chase me off... Don't give them that kind of power. If someons doesn't like what is posted on a open to the public forum, then they don't need to read it.

Thank you for all your contributions here... You do a fantastic job of showing Baja and your other travels.

Please never stop! :light:

Pompano - 3-5-2011 at 07:44 AM

No, Bob...ya didn't miss anything. Check Mulege Mirror for the event. That's where I put it originally anyway, and changed per a nomad's request...so enjoy the pics!

Roger I am glad I saw the photos before you pulled them. Some of those folks looked like me

. One question though - it's been a long time since I've been to Serenidad and I'm not sure I've ever been to Ana's, but the photos looked an awful lot like the bar at Serenidad. Am I just dreaming or is there a similarity?

Pompano - 3-5-2011 at 08:44 AM

Hi Ken,

The photos are still here...just moved them to a better place..Mulege Mirror thread.

And no, Ana's bar scene is nothing like the Serinadad's today. Even back in the day, it was different. Maybe you are thinking of Jorge's old Las Casitas?

shari - 3-5-2011 at 08:47 AM

hey Pomp...sheesh...look what happens when I'm partying and dont have time to open every thread...but I sure loved your quote "Rudeness is a weak man/woman's imitaion of strength"...post on my friend.

I agree with you Roger,

the smug attitudes displayed in this post by a few young people is rude to say the least, I dont think they have a clue in the world what goes on around them, guess their thinkiing is that any one older than dirt should be confined to a nursing home,
I would venture to guess that your friends that was having the party at Anna's , are folks of exceptional acomplishments and choose the life style of living in Mulege instead of living in a posh gated community, these people are strong individuals that will live the life style and choose friends their way with out reguard to what others have to say about them,, good for you Roger and all your friends, good job and well done

Ken

bajamedic - 3-5-2011 at 08:59 AM

For those that missed the photos, it was real people, living and enjoying life. Please keep them coming, as it helps others to keep the dream alive. JH

Pompano - 3-5-2011 at 09:18 AM

Thanks for those kind words, and not to worry...the thread and photos are alive and well in my other thread..'Mulege Mirror - Big Band Night at Ana's - Santispac'

..check it out for some old buddies?

We never sweat the small stuff...like those damn speed bumps, we just slow down a bit and ease over 'em..soon forgotten.

Barry

You are guilty as any other of personal insults and unfounded negativity, both of which are against terms of service here, though not enforced by Doug who is therefore complicit and has even more responsibility.

Clearly you think it's cute and fine for you to engage in divisive personal insults if the person is outside of your tight circle of LE brotherhood or some such designation, often in choir with others, as though you really enjoy ganging up.

It is disappointing that it's not possible to share adventure, ideas and information here in a healthy and open manner without a dog pile of personal attacks generally lacking of substance by people such as yourself who can not see the forest from the trees and would blame the severe degenerated discussion on others instead of accepting that the problem starts from within, this gang of daily negative posters among which you lead the chorus. Shame on you Barry. I suggest that each of us, starting with you in particular, speak to your family and friends and begin to consider what is going in side of you that causes this attack/defense reflex, instead of open polite discourse, disagree without making it a personal attack, make your points factual not personal, strive to understand the subject and dimension without falling back to negative cycles.

toneart - 3-5-2011 at 10:02 AM

I too noticed the rudeness, Rogelio. The BajaNomad is a community and is a microcosm of virtual communities. Most are wonderful people and there are also a few a$$holes.

You know that I enjoy your compositions; photos, dialog, humor. Always well done! I understand your disappointment.

Tu amigo,
Tony
P.S. I don't think Woody was the culprit(s).

Please find a place other than Nomad to post your hate Gnu... Barry has been a good Nomad and has stood up to others for their attacking based only on warped political ideas.

Thanks Roger. I guess I've left a few too many braincells in Mulege. Most of them were left at Serenidad but I do think I vaguely remember Las Casitas.

Pompano, sorry that "some" folks don't really have "manners" ...

I for one would truly hate to see the loss of your excellent contributions, along with all the folks you meet and know.. and your tackle box.. (as it is one hell of a talking tackle box)...

Always enjoy your posts.. they are always about living life... at a level, most will NEVER see...

Thank you for being one who "shares" their life experiences so openly ...

Enjoyed the evening out ... only wished I could have been there...

Always liked Tommy Lee Jones approach to "rude behavior"... in Lonesome Dove...

David,

I don't think "hate" is what Gnu is about. You should retract that.

I also think Barry is a good Nomad and a gentleman. He and I have often disagreed over political ideas, but again, YOU characterize them as "warped". Barry has the ability to discuss his positions without rancor. You do not!

gnukid - 3-5-2011 at 10:36 AM

Each person here should consider their role, certainly as I am in posting about Barry. What position am I in to discuss this with him on this thread, I am in the position as ar emany of receiving his misplaced and divisive talk, just as DK does here. You both seem to lack reading comprehension as a starting position, following many reasonable discussions, you jump to a overly stated position of defense which includes harsh words, insults and tone not previously envoked.

This note does not personally insult Barry, nor DK, but it does point out, politely, that there seems to be a great deal of misunderstanding in your posts, prejudice, lack of ability to present fact or example, inability to state opinion without being insulting.

The common guilty parties are well apparent-they also post more often, clearly the responsibility falls first upon Doug the senior Moderator who created this forum and fails to moderate negativity however is quick to delete posts which are honest and critical.

Each of should be willing participants to flag negatvity, personal insults and ask Doug to moderate the forum according to common practices of decorum otherwise we have nothing but a forum full of insults, misinformation, negativity and bullying which is apparently the case now.

Thanks to all for your support, and for others being candid with me-----I really appreciate all of you.

Another comment from a guy that rarely has anything good to say and is always trying to get your "goat" whose comments are comparable to the weight of a gnat on your shoulder.
Not that it matters to anyone here but I am feeling a bit let down.
