Mood: After 34 years. Still in love w/ my wife

I was asked to reread from one of the heavy posters. I actually do read every post on Nomads. Including Davids. That must mean that I am wasting my
time in life because of my obsession with Baja. Another observation (which might be wrong) from my readings way before I joined (indicated) is that
David must be a Republican. Those that have a problem with David must be Democrats. In my 81 years on this incredible globe, is the liberals don't
like what the conservatives have to say. Because ??????? And I don't care. And David K. you do (obviously by your count) "dig in" somewhat in some of
your posts. And I'm sure that you are capable of restraining from 'digging' and expressing your political views. And as you said, only after someone
else expressed theirs. I can say, that though I do scan over a lot of the high posters "words of wisdom". I think many are just interested in
providing number count. But they also have contributed also at times positive things about Baja. Everyone has something to share. It's why I love the
Baja Nomads Forum. But the obvious 'hate' dislike or call it whatever for David K sort of overwhelmed me recently and I just had to bring it up. And
I've never personally met David, but I do have a 'thing' about people who remind me of 'bullies'. Who react before considering what they have just
done. I've spoken my opinion. Viva La Nomads

I have never met DK, but I would like to some time when he and Baja Angel are SOB. In the meantime, I will consider him a friend I haven't met yet!
Sometimes I wish my friend would realize that it is 'OK' to have an unspoken (or unwritten) thought, but the truth is, that he has provided more
information to more people than anyone else on this board.
I usually check his postings, but if I have seen it before, or is not of interest to me, it is easy to skip it without commenting on it. Some folks
let Dave live rent free in their head, and need to lash out every time they see the sunshine avatar!
It doesn't really matter to me whether DK is taking someone's bait, or tossing out his own, the thread ceases to be useful once the exchange of posts
goes past correcting facts.
I hope nothing ever curbs Dave's enthusiasm for sharing all things Baja, and he shares less about things that aren't connected to it.
Among Dave's critics, there are a few I would love to meet, and a few I would definitely avoid, but I believe that most of us would get along fine if
we wind up sharing the same space and time together. I look forward to it!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Thank you so much.
I hope to continue here to share my trips and my discoveries about Baja California (the First California).
I am not trying to make enemies. Obviously, we all have different views about the world. As mentioned above, I generally only have responses to
someone else's comment and don't usually begin a political debate. It is a little weird that to a couple of you, that is all you see in my posts? Do
you not look at the Trip Reports, Historical Interests and Literature, or Off Roading forums here on Nomad and only at my replies to others who have
posted a political comment?
A big percentage of my posts (since a few of you are bothered by the quantity) are short "thank you's", "nice photo," or other such notes. Not many
are "long-winded" with little value to Baja travelers, I don't think?
I do try and give as much as I can for all the years of information and entertainment Baja Nomad provides. There are a couple of the complainers here
that may have posted (maybe) one trip report to share in all those years? There are people here who freely enjoy the posts and somehow feel noble that
they don't share anything here?!
See, we are all different... some give a lot, some give a little, some give nothing... but grief! LOL
Can't we all just get along?

David has been the BN punching bag for years. He knows how to handle it.

Couldn't agree more, LancairDriver. I'm pretty sure David K would be missed on here. *************. If you can't appreciate someone's passion for
something, then you probably aren't very enjoyable to be around.
I actually look forward to the maps. Keep doing what you do, David K.

A K gringo - "A friend I haven't met yet" What a great outlook!
I also have never met David K, but he has provided me with great information by reading his posts.
I appreciate his posts and those of others, they have added to my fun in Baja.

This thread may eventually surpass the "TURTLE" post from a few years ago.

I look forward to many more years of "debating" DK -- always entertaining, and will be even more entertaining after we elect bernie!

To me, the OP stepped into it, and is now trying to get it
off his shoes. Incendiary posts like this serve no purpose.
For a very few, this may be entertaining. For the majority,
probably not. Dig a little deeper next time, come up with
something worthwhile, by the way, what's with the addiction, obsession? Sounds like you guys are trying to out do
each other. I think it is a given we all like Baja

DK outed himself as an addict.....it seemed only suitable to respect his acceptance that he is powerless and is accepting that....and the rest of us
picked up on the metaphor....
No harm meant by him or the rest of us....

If it wasn't for David K, this board would not necessarily still exist.
If you're getting any value from it, he's part of the reason, directly or indirectly.
Facts are facts.
Keep the politics off the main area. Just sayin'.
Thank you David.
