So, it's the OC? Actually, I don't much like it here. Until a couple of years ago, I spent years living in Topanga. But I guess that'd be worse as far
as troll goes.
I bet that if you try hard enough, you'll find more flies. Not too many, mind you, but others. How about the ubiquitous mordita as an example of a
mosca?

I think Tony is pretty close to it. The Global climate is a tad distraught and ambivolent these days.
Now just be honest and admit it's mainly the Republicans hurtling media insults.
jejeje
I just cain't help it ma!!
DON\'T SQUINT! Give yer eyes a break!

This is very hard but
I joined this board after a search on Google about all things Baja. I was looking for info on the shooting in El Rosario as I sometimes stop at Baja
Cactus and breakfast at Ed's. While I have found the wealth of information here on base and up to date , there are many here who use this forum as a
social network with a pecking order and I find that a bit much for a public forum on Baja with warts and all.
I agree Bajahowodd is very political in his/her posts and although I agree with the slant at times,it should not be shoved down the collective throat.
Baja Shark seems to think he/she owns this board by the number of posts he/she has sent into the ozone here and that also is not right. I would
rather that the most social here would keep the posts as they are intended by the posters themselves, unwashed and there for the taking by all.
If we were to remove what we think is not Baja enough or not of the Baja quality that some demand here,this board has no value whatsoever.
Lets leave the board alone and if some of you do not like it,do what I do. Ignore the noncomforming posts that you do not agree with and stick with
likeminded posts.
You will neuter this board with the petty bickering here and that will make it as interesting as the last Baja board I joined that was as boring as
vanilla.
Enjoy your evening.

Vanilla, boring?
I take umbrage at that remark. My vanilla, sir, is anything but boring. Creamy and sublime, with little flecks of vanilla bean. I cannot tolerate
the vanilla haters any more! Death to chocolate!!!

That's all we have left. At what age should we have been gassed?
Besides, a first-hand knowledge of Baja before the paved roads is like living history. Please don't penalize us for that.

Well, I am old and occasionally accused of grumpiness. And yes, I have great memories of living in Mulege with my kids 35 years ago and the camping
and exploring we have done over the years. I also have great memories of my recent ride to Baja Sur and my visits to old friends there and whale
watching in March. The old days were great but the adventure is still there for those who seek it. Ride a mule into Arroyo San Pablo to the cave
paintings, they are still there for us just as they were for Gardner and Crosby. You will never forget the trip.
Baja, this board, and life in general are what you make them.
A few years ago Al Martinez in his LA Times column wrote:
"Times are tough. Times are always tough; the human condition is nasty. The poor are always with us and the crazy, and the just plain stupid. The
viruses are with us too, and pestilence and famine.
And the challenge is to approach it all with some kind of grace and some kind of humility. The challenge is to acknowledge that although it is not
your fault, it is your responsibility.
You are not special; you have not been singled out. Self-rightousness is always misplaced. Plant a tree, dig a well, hug a child, shut up."
That's enough philosophy for today. (But I especially like the part about self-rightousness)
Kurt

Hello?
Yes, the most posts...but so what? I just happen to be the longest active Nomad (#10) and enjoy posting information about Baja (history mostly: recent
and mission period) and chatting here whith my amigos. It is a faster way to provide help to Baja travelers than writing a book or magazine
articles...
This thread and Sharksbaja's posts really has to be taken into consideration by all Nomad members as to HOW to keep the posts positive, and Baja or
Nomad related...
IGNORE the stuff that doesn't interest you and PUSH the report button if you see a clear VIOLATION of board rules... foul language, personal insults
and name calling, off topic (wrong forum) posts included.
DOUG needs us all to HELP him keep this place informative and friendly: PUSH the REPORT button, because the limited time DOUG has to read Nomad, he
reads the REPORTS first to clean up any mess.
Instead of posting complaints about Nomad... DO something to help, push the REPORT button when a thread goes bad.
Doug believes as adults we should be able to use his forum without a lot of babysitting... Unfortunately, a few Nomads have no responsibility over
their own actions, don't know how to delete bad posts, or just like to throw some gas on a fire...
I have a couple times for fun, responded to some outrageous posts... but all in all, I am here to read about Baja and share my knowledge or resources
I have, happily!

Longhair, you better watch yourself dude. I went to the fourth grade but not in Kalifornia. I'll have you know my collected works are already archived
and slated to be given to the Museum of Longhairs when I die. Tomorrow I will send them a certified copy of your posts in case you kill me and eat me
sometime in the near future. Sooo whatever you're planning you should wait, if you can, til you see the notice in the paper that the once, almost a
writer, Osprey, is gone for good.

I was pointing out Bajahowodd was on pace to pass you in short order . It was not meant as an insult to you and I am sorry if you took it that way. I
enjoy your posts and consider you the most honest person on this board.
