Those that disagree won't post until there is something to disagree about and then make their comment. And the reverse is true for those they agree
with.
These 'alliances' really take away much from the board.
But I suppose that's just human character. Anyway, that aspect of the board is tiresome. |

Yes, I'd join again.
Probably a percentage of the caustic postings here comes from people who have had a few drinks and then visit this site. Some of the others might be
gentrified prisoners of the cubicle realm who are frustrated with their suburban existence. Some of the others are plain jerks. As far as some of the
expatriates, some are cool - Pompono comes to mind. Some are edgy and creative - Osprey. Some seem to be suffering from the results of some kind of
disillusionment - no names given. It takes all kinds, but they summarily capture the gringo spirit of Baja. Some are big, some are small, some are in
between, some are...

But, Igor, you read them. I've often wondered if nurturing a dislike for something wasn't an integral part of liking other things.

My analysts (the last two anyway) say I'd be crazy to leave the Nomad forum. Well, they didn't say it that way but you get the idea. They say my shy,
introverted nature makes me want to turn my hostility inward toward self denigration. Posting on the board helps because it gives me a better,
healthier, if you will, object to strike out at; lots of new posters, old ones I can rattle horns with. One day, if I can get past this particular
phase I may be able to join those others who learn things here. In a way you're all part of my rehab, members of my medical team. I'm still a little
edgy at times.

There are some very gracious and helpfull people here. There are some very rude, obnoxious people as well. That's our world. At least with my computer
I can decide to partake in the good or the bad. Other than off topic, the tirades are humorous and mostly fun. I will have to say that there are those
that post 99% negative crap, and blindly strike out at others. I refuse to play that game. I have gotten some great insight to Baja from many of the
great people on this board, and gotten very angry at some others for the crap they attempt to drag us into. The trip reports and the photo gallery are
at the top of my list, off topic, not so much

Of course I'd join again. I waded into the fray many years back
and all my nomigos live here.

I got trashed early on but in the grand scheme of things, this board is really friendly and I love it. On some professional boards, and a couple that
have to with campers, people get flamed viciously!

And to think - I joined mainly to get my typing skills back up to snuff when I went back to school. It's been a long, strange trip.

What do you think about Nomads who do a lot of 'chatting' (with each other or to other Nomads, ... or to nobody) but don't ever post some trip
reports, photos, stories, advice, news, etc.?
There seems to be a few who only post replies for some 'drama', and have never contributed here with travel advice, living in Mexico advice, sharing
their favorite places/ meals/ photos/ etc.
Again, just a thought... like a beer fund... people come here for the free stuff (info./ friendship/ drama/ typing practice), but don't 'chip in' with
some useful posts ('beer money').
Do people seek out and read Baja Nomad because of some chit chat about who was at the local bar, or do they come here to find out about Baja
California? Granted, they may come for one and then enjoy the other after!
I think this site is the richest source of Baja information because their are more people talking about Baja, and that will keep Nomad #1.

David, I like both aspects of Nomad conversation. I forgot to add you to my description of the various Nomads: Some have a passionate thirst for
knowledge of all things Baja and are generous in sharing such knowledge - David K.
Some completely crack me up - Fishbuck.
Some give us insight to what it is to be a baja californio - Jesse
Some we just love - Skeet, and Bajalera

Ha! I saw the edit!! Problem occurs when we start singling people out, even for praise and even if well-deserved because there are going to be many
folks left off anyone's list. Sure. There are some Nomads who contribute helpful and sometimes extremely important info. Others who dazzle with
photos. Others who make me laugh (with them). Too many to list, and again, run the risk of accidently snubbing someone. IMHO

Yes, I would join again...I have learned much (good and the negitive) about Baja. I need to keep up on things as we don't go down often enough.
Next year...for a month or two or more as retirement is on the horizon...YEA! Thanks to those of you who pass on important info. that we don have any
other way of finding out like road conditions and so on. I post carefully though. I hope that someday I can pass on info that people can use.

So true. I tried to keep the list down to the prototypical as to not make others feel left out. Of course I had to edit in Bajalera. Anyway, is she
married?
