I think you guys are all really lucky the internet is so big that there is no chance in the world that you could get at each other. Are we really supposed to believe that if you were face to face, the rhetoric would be so foul??

I just reported these recent posts to Doug. My first communication with him during this GIFsplosion. I made my case, I apologized for not being more mindful in my response to the onslaught. I'm not proud of calling anyone names when I have perfectly valid arguments with which to dismantle their claims. But I have done that.

Nomads is now and has been for a little while a really hostile environment for me. (I'm not alone, I have a platoon behind me.) This forum has also really been a big part of my Baja life, and I've felt grateful to be allowed to leave my footprints in the 'sand box'. As I told Doug, I've made life-long friends here. If I felt forced to leave, it would feel unfair. I'm afraid I sort of left the decision up to Doug. It wasn't part of my Baja plans to have to deal with the emotions that come up when I have wonder what kind of new vile insult is flashing next to my name on the internet when I "go to the mailbox". I have the option to live with that or to move on. There is a third option which I do not control. There's a fourth option, really, but investig8r isn't going to suddenly stop his slurs on his own. It is really hard to push Post Reply on this one.

Chuckie,
Oh, good. You had me worried there for a bit. I like getting free beer from other stupid sob's, however I think I said the first round was on me.

But, being stupid...I dunno :lol:
