Hatred
Hatred
What would prompt a poster here, or several posters for that matter, to try and bring to light the problems of other posters that they may have
insight to, may have heard rumors or have facts about, when the rumors, innuendoes or facts of an unrelated situation have nothing to do with Baja?
Is a poster so filled with hatred for another that he/she cannot simply ignore unrelated issues and stick to the multifaceted subjects of Baja?
Is it acceptable to start a new thread with suggestions, questions of another, also imperfect being perhaps, simply to cause that person
embarrassment?
It is so sad that we are so small that we have to try and drag others through our own self disrespect.
I?m sure that if we look long and hard enough we can all find ways to dislike each other, places where our intellectual and moral paths may not agree
with others.
But the best of the best is when a collection of individual souls finds ways to forget their petty differences and celebrate each other and their
collective whole because of a small common bond.
Most of us on nomad have found that strength. We derive pleasure from sharing information about something we love. We all have different
personalities. Some of us are caustic, some of us are hot, some of us are aggressive, some passive and too tolerant. And some of us have needs that
can only be fulfilled by searching for a respect they already have. Some of us lose the respect of others because we try too hard. But all these are
attitudes that encourage the thoughts of and sharing with others.
My love of Baja could not be the same without this and other boards that allow me to learn and share. I?m thankful I can find the strength to keep my
total disrespect of a few in control.
I wish those few would do the same.

Well, just so folks can form an opinion and be forewarned if we meet I will state that I am opinionated, blunt at times, especially when it comes to
when I just want to be left alone, use profanity excessively, am comfortable walking around naked , I drink regularly and often more than my doctor would say is healthy , think pot should be legal, will smoke an occasional cigar and laugh at off-color, religious and racial jokes( but
I don't discriminate since my race is easily targeted and the religion I grew up in is full of pederasts) and relatively intolerant of idiots and
blowhards.
However,
I am honest, forthright, hardworking and loyal to any that deserve it, not afraid to hang it out into the wind if the end result has the potential to
be worth it, share pretty much everything I have and will help anybody I can if possible.

For me, I was excited to stumble upon this website and learn new great things about Baja and there travels. This site has now turned into a place for
a couple of bitter & bored burnout's to attack what seams some decent people that have written nothing but nice informative information. The fact
that they would bring personal issues into this thread, just shows you how low class they are and should be ignored! As far as what I have read from
these guys, they are nothing but a couple of clowns!!! Look in the mirror......

What would prompt a poster
who has deleted all his previous posts attacking others, to pretend he is some sort of do gooder when he is just as guilty as those he is pointing
fingers at?
And, what would people who sent personal messages pertaining to El Rosarios Expose of certain individuals be doing pretending to be so innocent
themselves?

Now that is something I will second, JRBAJA
Sorry guys, but he's got a point there. I haven't ever deleted my stuff no matter how bad it was. I have grown though and happy to say, learned a
lot.

A quick reminder...
this is a WEBSITE where people who like Baja a lot trade ideas, waypoints and stories...and that's all it is. All things being relative, it's no
more important than a John Mayer message board is to a chubby 15 year old sophomore from St.Paul. I dig it as much as the next guy, but don't let's
discuss it like a sacred cow.
And Soulpatch, thanks for the hard sell on yourself. I'd long pondered your stance on marijuana laws, and, while I fret for your boozing, I know you
need a few c-cktails to feel comfortable naked.

Well said Mike! I been off for a week or better, because of this crapola going on. I'll stay off till folks decide enough is enough.
What control freaks there are here. Don\'t believe that post you just read!

Sharksbaja; of course I don't know anything about baja.....
Actually, I've learned everything I know about baja by reading the internet, especially this board and from the most prolific posters....... who needs
to actually go to place to learn anything about it?:moon:
And bigzaggin; need c-cktails to be comfortable naked????????? You really don't know me.
I guess I should have added to that list that I speak w/tongue planted firmly in cheek often. It seems as if some folks just take stuff a bit too literally.

One was titled either Ski Baja or JRBaja
and I don't remeber the title of the other one. Couldn't find either in search but both were started by you, directed at me being anti american, self
centered, in it for the same bs reasons as dk, etc.
You were making feeble attempts at trying to get people to not open my posts and
were down right brutal. hahahahahahaha. But, you were called on your nonsense ccg bs by many besides just me and gave it up.
Same as all those who gossip, fabricate rumors, talk do do about others and then delete their own words so they can deny saying them. Just like dk a
couple weeks ago when he was caught lieing. And the moderator who also got caught deleting the thread at dk's request.
As far as this "situation" being referred to on this board, it has a lot to do with Baja. For one thing, the incidents happened here, in Baja. The
guilty party seems to consider himself some sort of expert on Baja because of a few vacations here yet sets an example like this in front of local
people.
Prime example of why so many of you get so mad at me for commenting on P-nche gringos. The huarache fits better than I could have even imagined on
this board. Fortunately, it seems that the coop groupers are just a few. They also seem to have the biggest mouths trying to look cool because they
have been to Baja.

JR, if you are so filled with a need to criticize and put down others, why not find a place you enjoy it more??? I still haven't seen your evidence
in my deleting posts for self promotional or any other reasons. Got any? You need to be specific bacause I've never done that. I'd rather put
myself down and fit in the middle than to promote myself to some lofty goal I don't deserve.
Me No, I'm not trying to rally anyone and I'm not trying to turn bad stuff into good. I'm just asking the question "why was it necessary to bring a
personal matter out publically?" You can argue that we all have a right to know. But if you really feel that way why not just post the facts as
you've heard them? Rather than provoke a suspicion in an attempt to have others address the issue? I don't have any facts, only listened to what
I've been told by others. I can look at my own behavior with my family and find lots of faults. Most of us have room for improvement. But if my
dirty laundry gets aired in public, I would like to be the one to do it. I clearly recognize there are a few folks that don't live up to you "bar."
Mine too. I just think that certain things belong to a family. I recognize your issues, even JR's, where sometimes indivual behavior reflects on us
all and I identify with that. But I also recognize behavior when it's primary objective is to invoke hatred. And that doesn't become any of us.
