OK..look. Start a thread in OT and let the content carry the weight.
What happened here is that the more socially and politically involved have not taken over but, been left with the place since the less interested had
nothing else to say. You folks who ignore the site have turned it over to those who find it a viable forum.
Blame yourselves if it turned into a toilet. It's just like kids. Ignore them and they turn to crap.
If you want the forum for the good of all, maintain that goal. Use it. Don't just drop in and complain about the paint on the walls.
It's yours to do with what you will and don't b-tch about what YOU did.

Only if the owner respects the principal of free speech. Obviously, Doug does. It's incumbuent on us, as guests, to respect his wishes.
Do you agree? You're free to give your opinion.
Fun...huh.

Free speech applies to Ken, doesn't it? It appears his goal has been to turn OT into performance art. Lots of variety, culture and music -- not
to mention women.
And then there are those who only post attacks on those in liberal politics.
Boring, as usual.

Ken has great additude, good sense of humor, and makes the OT great reading. Hope he keeps up the great work in OT in the face of the right wingnuts
and nasty types who attack him relentlessly.

Thanks Ken.

Bad Additude ?
"Ken has great additude, good sense of humor, and makes the OT great reading. Hope he keeps up the great work in OT in the face of

Obviously, SOME need Spell-Check more than others.

Does all the logic and common sense posted by one side ever convince anyone from the other side (if it feels good it's okay, emotions, hysteria) to
change?
I mean, what's the point in arguing over politics? Unless there is a vast group of independents or fence sitters that needs to see how the other two
act?

Getting to the Point
Anyone who thinks that opinions expressed on Blogs and Forums like this SWAY anyone else's opinions is laboring under a delusion.
The people who participate are those with STRONG opinions on the subject.
The only POINT is Recreational Distraction.
I'm having Fun, How about You ?

OOODLES of it. Everybody knows  . BajaNomad isn't a place to listen and learn.
It's more a place to pontificate and be heard...if you really think anybody cares what you say.

If that is so.............. then why is it that you mostly post off-topics ..... under the belt-line???
8,000+ posts from which are 7,000+ off-topic or hollow or "didn't catch the point" or otherwise BS.
Posts by quantity made you kinda 'select nomad'. certainly not the quality of your posts.

Who let in all the clowns?
This posting about the OT part of the board should be sent to the OT.

Fun and Games
On occasion I've perused various Blogs and Forums where the contributors are REALLY serious about their politics and the postings here are MILD Fun
play in comparison.
Interestingly, it is ALMOST always those to The LEFT who seem to advocate Censorship. But then, they've NEVER really been for Free Speech other than
their own. A trait they demonstrate again and again on College Campuses whenever Conservatives show up to speak.
But, Whatever. When it ceases to be fun, it's time to move on.
