Long legs in La Paz and Cabo Ron... I too sometimes have 'selective reading' issues, but I did write this earlier in this fun filled thread (you
missed?):
"Frankly, if you think there is no cost or value to maintain this site, then why waste your time here? I find it the most valuable of all the Internet
Baja web sites... because it is live interaction with people who have just returned from Baja or who are in Baja right now... and in far greater
numbers in one or two days than the other Baja forums see all year!"
>>> The part that says '...or who are in Baja right now...' is refering to you guys who live full or part time in Baja.
|
Since you brought up "selective reading issues", I can't & won't assume to speak for CaboRon, but I
didn't miss it, I read & absorbed what you wrote immediately upon reading it. You musta skimmed over the words "majority of his
posts" in my post.
| Quote: | Now, for a lot of you: shame on you! You use or abuse this site and then complain when a member SUGGESTS voluntary contributions be mailed in, IF you
would like to TIP the host for his hard work and EXPENSE to provide a forum for all of us to SHARE Baja experiences and information.
In the voice of Gomer Pyle: SHAME SHAME SHAME!  |
David, what right do you have to
stand in judgment of the rest of the members here; painting us all with the same brush simply because it's YOUR brush
(thought/idea/feeling/experience/OPINION). Well guess what, we ALL have our own personal thoughts/feelings/ideas/experiences/OPINIONS & because
they don't parallel yours, that doesn't make any of the rest of us pond scum (MY words for how you make me feel, NOT implying YOU have ever used those
words!), it doesn't reduce the value of our individual contributions. You have a bad habit, IMO, of overusing the terms "we" & us" when stating
YOUR opinions. Please stop assuming that you have some inalienable right to speak for the masses; the masses have individual voices & can speak
for themselves/myself if they so desire.
| Quote: | For those of you who have u2u'd me support for my action, many thanks... Having a lot to share about Baja shouldn't make those who share less
jealous... I am not competing with you. I suggest you just enjoy what is offered on Nomad or move to a different thread. Taking all the time to bad
mouth me or my style is just so childish and adds NOTHING to help other Baja travelers (or residents)!
Bernie says Nomad is about 'People Helping People'... What I am trying to do, and hope other Nomads do as well. |
You couldn't be further from the truth in YOUR OPINION that I'm speaking from a position of jealousy. I've yet to read anything in
your posts for me to be jealous of. Childish? Stating my thoughts/feelings/OPINIONS is childish? Did you actually say that with a straight face?
Wise words from Bernie.......you "hope other Nomads do as well" David, what planet are you living on? Have you missed the point of this entire site? According to that logic, you only acknowledge
your own input as having any value. Wake up & smell the coffee! This is not "the DK site", there are a lot of fine & generous people here
who give of their time, knowledge, experience in many ways....for you to belittle someone or their actions because you may not be personally aware of
it is the height of hypocrisy! I've personally helped a lot of Nomads off-line, and I know many, many others who have as well. Because I/they choose
to do it out of the public eye for varying reasons, does NOT make my/their value to Baja Nomad any less than yours because you choose to publicize all
your good deeds.
David, before you blast off a whiny response, please do at least you & I a favor....get off your high horse & reread my words several times to
see if you and find ANY grains of personal truth in them. Before you classify this as just another "personal attack"...is the phrase constructive
criticism in your vocabulary?
Do you want to do a quantity comparison of how many U2U's we each received in favor of our individual posts? |
In my opinion, your post is a very good one---but that is just my OPINION. Others might disagree and that is their OPINION.
David,
You know a lot about many things in Baja and yes, you do help a lot of people with your information. But, IMHO, when you present opinions as facts,
and present it all as if you speak for everyone ---well, then come what you call personal attacks.
And please, stop sticking in your personal political opinions as if they are some sort of facts---and the idea that you would shame others? Gees, I
found that really difficult to believe you would do that---it is one of those, how dare you things.
Now, besides the U2Us, can we collect and put together the e-mails?
Then again, it is not a popularity contest----just a forum with lots of different minded people.

Well you who have done such a great job of analyzing and making suggestions for DK have gotten your answer, he just posted a loaded picture post to
spite you in my opinion. Nothing you can say will make any difference on his omnipotence on this board.

Ellenvest18,
He brings it on himself ....
And us "enviros" think he is a selfish pig ....
And what happened to you , you started out good, and then was born again or something, now you just throw up the company line??
Disapointing, to say the least.

Ay CaboRon mi buen amigo...There is still an A.H. that lurks just under my skin with regards to elitists. I am just not going to go there is all. I do
not think it needs to surface on this issue. I just do not see what people in here are seeing about David K. He seems to me to be a good human being
and an enthusiastic Baja explorer. I think he may have hit a nerve with some in here who are, to put it kindly "Frugal." That said he has a right to
post in here and not be brow beaten to death.
Oh and Ron, don't think the "Ellenvest18" went over my head. I caught your drift.

1. I don't want to be included in Ron's( us.)
2.Dk makes some good picture posts for newbies.
3. He always has to show a picture of himself.
4. He's always bragging about how long and all the past people and functions he's been to. If you have been on this forum for awhile it gets
tiresome.\
5. He does post like he owns this forum.
If you cannot see the above, you just give him a hug and tell him he's great.
I'm sure there are other people that could make many more examples.
This is just an explanation of where I'm coming from.

Yes Sr. Buck...this is a dead horse. But, there are those that have nothing better to do but post negative bull****! DK is the ultimate Baja
information amigo. Love him are not, his heart and Baja Angel's heart are in Baja. I appreciate all the information he provides and the time he spends
helping others with questions and concerns about living or visiting Baja. I have not seen another Nomad that gives more time, nor more positive info
with regards to Baja. DO YOU!!??
Alot of you have nothing better to do but comment on just about every damn post. Really, do you have a life? If you do not have something positive to
contribute, please, please....do not contribute. You want to come after me now...please DO!!
BajaNomad is about Baja. It is not about your petty sh#*!

Agree 100%. DK is definitely a class act and doesn't deserve the flack he is getting. NO ONE CONTRIBUTES MORE TO THIS BOARD. It is disgusting to see
the petty attacks begin anytime anyone posts anything.
