In defense of Howard, this post doesn't even come close to trashing Roger....directly or by implication. Howard merely stated his personal feelings.
If anyone here is on the attack, it's all you 'Quick to defend" folks who jump to unsubstantiated conclusions.
Howards reply was civil. Why not let it go at that.

Geez. Actually I figured I would be trashed by making that statement.
I really understand how so many of you guys have enjoyed Roger's posts, which are always replete with photos.
However, the goat made the point that I didn't. Roger's stuff was really an exercise in narcissisim. Enjoyable to the casual observer, God knows I
almost always enjoyed his photos, but always about "look at me". "I'm Roger and you're not".
Maybe you guys have short memories, but it was really just recently that he had a major run-in with the folks in Mulege.
That said, I'll go back to my original post.
I don't miss him all that much. If he has personal issues, I really hope he works that stuff out.

I somehow missed the narcissistic parts of Roger's posts. He has a big life and I thought he described it in a very eloquent and even somewhat
self-deprecating way. Never once, when reading his posts, did I pick up any "look at me" attitudes.
carpe diem!

okie doak, Howard you present your case well, We have all had major run-ins,
If ya have any age on ya at all,I certainly have had mine. My point was Roger
never was even a bit rude to anyone here, I can't say the same, can you?
Were you in Mulege at the time, or are you just speculating? You and Goat have
a great day. Oh, and in passing, you got a bit of look at me too, in a lot of your posts.

Well.....that's about all it was, Ken. Doesn't make it a bad thing. Some people call it "sharing."
I think this thread is going south at a rapid rate. He'll show up when he sees fit and this should be put on hold until he does.

Because someone shares what he has with others doesn't make him a narcissist, it makes him generous.
So, is your world better if Roger or any of us who share our Baja trips or knowledge here stop doing so? Less is best? Is that what they are teaching
today? Instead of going to a site where there is almost nothing to see (many other Baja forums), you stay here where there is more to see and read,...
and complain about those who post Baja photos and stories... amazing!
Heck, I see what Roger has and makes me want to work harder to have the same luxury. You youngsters are led to believe you can't have that anymore in
America, and want to take it away from those who have earned what they have.
Sad sad...

I've been in Mulege for quite awhile - New to posting but a LONG time lurker. I can go see everything that Roger posts about in and around Mulege and
I enjoy his comments. I compare them to what I saw at the same places. This is a discussion board to "see" and discuss topics. Roger is great with
pictures and comments. What else would you folks want?
Why do not the rest of you "haters of Roger" just go out and do something worth sharing? I am sure your life does not just revolve around what Roger
does and how you can criticize him or am I wrong?

again, I miss his posts and I think the Mulege ones were some of the best ...
He did us a favor once where he had to go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of his way. He has not even met us.
Our loss, maybe he is posting on another board where they are happy to hear about his US travels ..... our loss, for sure.

Did you take your nap or not? It appears you still have nothing to share, but odd comments.

Amazing what gets said while the victim is gone 
Lets hold the negs till ol Roger is back on board....so he can laugh!
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

you dumb okie!
no one hates him. no one hates you! people just have opinions!
i just find him to be an insufferable prima donna.
i also think he makes for good entertainment!
p.s. i think he quit the nomads several times. usually he quits with a dramatic tantrum or dramatic flourish of "i will post no more forever." but
he always returns, like a moth to a flame! he can't resist the adulation and praise he receives from the fawning faithful followers of pompy!
