Why the anger directed at David K?
I'm fairly new here, only have a dozen or so trips to Baja under my belt. I want to know why some Nomads are so angry with David?
Have you met him? Did he personally do something?
To anyone's knowledge, has an angry discussion ever turned physically violent in real life? Or is the Internet pen mightier than the sword?
I personally like the back and forth disagreements in opinions in some of the topics, but to take it to a personal level is very odd.
My two cents... Brian

There are many answers to your Question.
David is a very good lover of Baja and has been for many years. His efforts at finging information on the Lost Missions are many.
He seems to be knowledge and somewhat conservative and Factual.
You will find that when this Board started it was a lot about Baja. Now it has developed into a "personality Battleground" which resembles our present
day Culture in the States.
There are many who come on the board that have never been to Baja yet claim knowledge of it, and it is obvious that they have gooten their Less that
factual Knowlegde from Spam on the Net or some Liberal College Proff. that has never been to Baja but Bull Puckies his Students to beleive that he
Knows of what he Speaks.
Happens with the Sea of Cortez Bull Puckey by some of the Envior Nuts.
So I personally know David and let me say he a is a Great guy and works hard at Helping People underatand and Love Baja. So relax and enjoy and
forget about a lot of the Bull Puckey aganist David.

I know he likes to correct spelling, and point out mistakes, and may even be incorrect sometimes. But what exactly is it that rubs some so badly it
turns personal?
Feel free to U2 me if you want to keep it private.

I'm guessing some of the haters are not very happy people in general.

How about the fact that he injects US politics into threads that have nothing to do about same? There's an off topic section here that is wild and
woolly. That's the place for such comments.
Since he is obviously of right wing persuasion ( I heard from a source that he modified his TV so that it only receives Fox News and ditto his radio
re: Rush Limbaugh), it automatically triggers a response from those who are not. Again, fine in off topic. But making glib comments about current
administration policy on a thread that's about traveling Baja just opens him up to attack. That said, on some level, I believe he enjoys it.

Your question seems to be a troll. An invitation for the pro David and anti David to go against one another.
Most of the people who aren't David admirers have a high post count and have been around a long time. Conversely, newbies are almost always very
positive about the man. With time and lots of posts you will come to your own conclusions.
Breaking down anyone's pros and cons publicly is in bad taste and unfair to the individual. Especially the cons. So don't expect an answer to your
question.

You have a good point, I didn't mean to start a pro David post.
I really want to know what happened to make people so mad as to personally attack him (with words that is).
See how I took what appears to be a negative post towards me (you calling my post a troll), and not turning it back on you?

Thanks for the offer to confide. Are you a priest? I'm in need of sincere absolution for various transgressions....calling DK a self-absorbed
individual notwithstanding.
Why don't you ask the Ambassador what's going on? He'll tell you.

I'm almost to the point of self-flagelation. Almost.

Maybe...but he ain't hanging any further out to the right than I am. That has nothing to do with my responses.
It's his propensity to be in charge....to lead...to scold.
It's his propensity to be a jerk.
Want more?

Actually, Dennis, I disagree. You got much more between the ears and a whole lotta important life experience. I've often noticed that while you and I
have a significant gap between our political philosophies, I don't get angered at what you post. Maybe it's because I know you have, above all, a
sense of humor that extends behind fart and penis jokes, unlike.....

Blane-------I think it all has to do with "mars-type" people and "venus-type" people------what upsets Mars types, Venus types admire and like. Try
to analyze it any further than that I think is a waste of time.

No, those are valid observations.
Although a few others use the scold tactic as well. It's annoying because it puts us in a parent-child relationship.

Some people just rub others the wrong way especially if they are corrected or disagreed with. You will have to form your own opinion over time. It's a
love/hate relationship on here most of the time. FYI, I'm one of the Nomads that likes DK and I like many that don't like him. As Mr. King said "can't
we all just get along", that was Rodney of course after the cops were finished.
