Not peeed, no..rather much the opposite...con mucho gusto.
Moe has a unique sense of humor...often plays this one on bait fishermen.

"foes" of Skeet? Heck, he is/was a good source of information, possibly a little past the expiration date, but his two bits were as good as
anyone's.

Don't forget history, he is a part of the living history of Baja and of a type one ran into often in the old days in Baja.

It has been interesting to see this thread start with Skeets resignation to "let's beat up old skeet" to brilliant proselytizeing by a few of the
philosophers on the board. Personally I have been amused by Skeets comments over the past few years and will miss his contribution. This is not to say
I agree with his musings 100%, but it is obvious he does know Baja better than most on this board.
In 1974 Muhammed Ali won a boxing match with George Forman in which the term "Rope-a-Dope" was coined and made somewhat famous by Ali. Ali leaned on
the ropes and covered up while Forman punched away to no effect, and burned himself out losing the fight. Skeet has used this technique successfully
on this board and always succeeds in roping a few. Usually the same ones each time. Ali may have coined the term, but Skeet has perfected it. Anyway,
unless Skeet has a change of heart and returns, the entertainment is gone.

I say tar and feathering is for sissies. Now drawing and quartering brings back great memories....think of it like field dressing an elk in the town
square. It rivets your audience..and we all like that, si?
Note: The very recent excavation next door to the Dead Sea Scrolls dig revealed this tablet.
Skeet and God...Pro or Con?.. this tablet satisfies both sexes, by Gar.
Been there..done that.
Now..where did I leave that other jug of compassionate squeezings?

I'm guessing that the Skeet that is communicating with DK is the one who couldn't spell or punctuate. That one, I judge, would STILL not be able to
"get" that he himself by virtue of his use of a common browser has "sold"/given away his valuable intellectual property. The one who could spell
should know better!
I have kept a multi-year pledge to stay off OT which I made largely because my inability to stay away from Skeet's* hateful rants was showing me a
side of myself I couldn't abide. *(Patrick Chicas too.) I'm a lot less likely these days to get REALLY upset when someone is talking out their
patoot.
He helped me to learn some Spanish though! In thinking of him in espanol I learned: Llena de odio. I think I'll always remember that phrase. I hope I
seldom need it.
To have learned: Una fuente de compascion would have been better.

Huh???? Please explain to this simple person what you mean.
Skeet "bullied" folks???? Skeet "intellectually crusified" people???? Try as I might, I can't picture Skeet EVER doing that. And even if he did
(which I do NOT admit) bad bahavior is not an excuse for more bad behavior, IMO, especially from certain people on this board that should/do know
better, and make a point of stating and demonstrating how wise and fair they are.
Sorry, Oxxo, I just don't buy it, at this point. I smell a witch-hunt, plain and simple, and for what purpose?

Heck, I don't even know him. And Skeeter is a Christian--------I am an agnostic, and have been for 55 years, or so. Gnu is "out there" with his
comments, but I like his take on other things. 
I just admire all Skeets adventures and accomplishments, and he does not need my help, but I feel strongly that the atheists are grouping, and
bullying him, or trying to. Probably impossible, actually, to "bully" Skeet, but they are trying. They can't see it, of course, based on their
comments. Talk about "group think".
Back to my movie (a John Wayne movie, naturally)

Barry, just remember, all "atheist" means is a lack of belief in gods. Not far from agnosticism. The fact is, all 7 billion people on this earth are
atheist in regards to the thousands of gods they don't believe in. A Christian is an atheist in regards to Vishnu, Allah and Thor. Those gods aren't
real! But their god is.......
So, there's no atheist conspiracy. We're not grouping or ganging up. What I see is people calling out bad behavior.
And I give skeet the benefit of the doubt. Most things we say as humans and what we believe, is formed at an early age. We have little control over
it unfortunately. If I was born in 1221, I'd pretty much have the morals of someone growing up in that era. I may think the world is flat, Muslims
should be slaughtered, women should be subservient, slaves taken.....
We should evaluate our morals constantly. Is this just what I was taught by my parents? Is this good for my fellow humans? Do I have flaws? Do I
harbor hatred towards some other tribe or color or religion? What would someone in 2156 think about my current morals?
I care if what I believe is true. I want to believe the most amount of true things. We all should.
Blah blah blah.........

Ask yourself why would someone pledge to a group they initially know nothing about, and what do perceive to be your gain? Money? Security? Hardly,
you've lost sight, morality, common sense, and independence which is the heart of being human. So who are you? A shill for the two-faced delusional
masonic brotherhood?
Do really believe it was worth it? Do you believe you are the highest power? Are you seeing the light? Do you enjoy seeing others suffer? Do you think
poor people deserve to be poor? Are you racist against other races beside your own?
Do you believe all people are equal? Do you believe in the right to liberty, freedom, independence and to be free from oppression by so called
collective associations?
What is your feeling about lucifer? Smart Good guy?
Barry are you a member of a secret society?
Barry are you a member of a masonic society?

I have been called a few things, Gnu, but a "groupie" is not one of them. I don't know a thing about Mason's, other than what I have read long ago.
Gnu, no "masonic" leaning here. I would not even join the Rotary when I was pressured too. I am basically a loner------groups make me nervous. 
Lucifer does not exist as far as I know. All people begin equal, but they become very unequal depending on their choices in life. I have NEVER felt
"oppressed". Never thought much about "races"-------we all seem pretty much the same to me. My only "secret society" is my family, and we are NOT
secretive, believe me. "Common sense, morality, and independence" is my
life-blood, but I do believe that others should feel the same. I hate seeing others suffer, which is why I sing the praises of the STOCK MARKET so
that others can too be comfortable in this wonderful Country. I think poor people are poor because they are poor (which I don't begin to understand,
but think it is true) I think that about covers your questions.
As for Ateo's comments, they are too numerous to remember, and I can't access them while replying. I may, as you say, be a reflection of my youthful
larnins, but I doubt it. From the time I was about 12 I was basically on my own------no
Dad (dead), and my Mom was overseas much of my teen years, and my sister was 5 years older but we got along great----I did not get along with Mom
anyway, tho I liked her. Never bothered me in the least being alone, as far as I remember-------and I had a wonderful childhood growing up in
Coronado, CA with my friends, none of which were Church goers. I really know very little about religion----never felt I needed to know---------but my
Mom did introduce me to the Church (Episcopal) and I served in it for a brief while-------did not relate, tho, and left----did not understand the
attraction.
At 74, I am still learning, but not really seeking stuff as i am very happy with my lot in life, my extended family, and my existance, and I stay
really busy with projects (and this Board). We are building a swimming pool
right now------a BIG project, for sure. (thank you, Stock Market)
anuff of this. To bed I go.

Barry sez:
"I think poor people are poor because they are poor (which I don't begin to understand, but think it is true)."
Oh yeah, and do you know how to make a million dollars? You start with a million dollars. 
Otherwise, Barry, if you will indulge me in being judgmental :
I think you are basically a fair person and a gentleman. However, you appear to be very content when not venturing mentally outside of your comfort
zone. The Big Picture possibly may not be being considered. I can understand that though. Most of us operate that way, especially at your
age.
