It can be very annoying to see the pattern repeated again and again by the same parties who obviously have nothing better to do with their lives. When certain Nomads post a comment or topic you can count on the same suspects jumping in to berate and taunt with the same childish comments they apparently think are cute or clever that worked for them in second grade.



Well said as well. I just figure the good is enhanced by the bad and sites like this would sound a bit too rehearsed without the anal orifice checking in now and then.

Hey Barry, you're one of the level-headed people on Nomads who I can discuss topics with and either agree or disagree but always politely. Don't be a stranger--your past Baja experience is enough.

May not always be in Baja, but always in a conservative frame of mind. [tombstone material]


OK folks...let's not go crazy on this sentiment. I'm having a couple, doncha know. :lol:

We have lost several amigos/ nomads, over the years... and not just from natural causes. There is a point when the debating or criticizing about what someone posts just not fun or entertaining anymore. The Nomad who posts only to have someone yell at him for showing a forbidden surf break, or road data, or that he hasn't been to Baja recently so he has no 'right' to share here is a turn off to the Nomad.

Any Baja conversation is welcome here and a lot of non-Baja is as well. If the owner of this site (Doug) doesn't want a certain type of topic discussed, it is his business.

I hope people don't let the noisy minority blow them away, because the majority here love to read about Baja , see photos about Baja, and share things about Baja... that's what a Baja discussion forum is all about!


Well said David. Wish I'd said it.


yeah, well DK there are those of us who have just as much desire to appreciate the things that make us get up and head south in the ZEROdarkTHIRTY so we can enjoy the areas you don't go.

I'm a fan of Barry, as we all are, and love to hear from the guys who were there prior to me, 35 years ago - even you!

your jabs are childish. we've covered this subject AD NAUSEUM for years. we all have a stake in Baja, and the places we care about. you aren't the moderator so stop chastising negative posts as they are dealt with rapidly, in one way or another.

edit: we support the following with much more than GPS, fotos or the like. I'm not trying to start another "endless story" I just think your jabs are not warranted.....:

All the time Woody... more people are going to Baja without fear because of Baja Nomad posted trip reports disclosing how it really is south of the border.

I am currently doing lectures on the mission sites and answering questions about the safety of going to Mexico. I promote travel to Baja all the time, and I know it is a limited area of interest.

I don't care if you don't share where you go camping, just don't tell me I cannot share mine.

I tried to be friendly and even edited my 'Seven Sisters trip report heavily for you by request in 2007, did you forget? I always look and report on the positive side to help Mexican business and people in Baja... but to try and be friendly to you sir, I called the area cold, cloudy, unappealing, with ugly fish camps... and did not post any GPS figures, either. You never appreciated that.

agreed, I am getting mellower as the seasons progress but I still feel the jabs and can read between the lines.

nobody wants to shut out the new folks.
