GENE AKA HOSE A PLEASE COME BACK AS MODERATOR
MY CONFESSION AND REQUEST FOR FORGIVENESS
HOSE A is a good man who was doing a very difficult job in here with us whiny babies located on both sides of the isle. By that I mean bad posters and
those who hit the report button, me included. A few of my posts were deleted by HOSE A, and Baja Nomad and rightfully so.
Back when I was being a whiny little baby I told HOSE A to go ahead and delete my membership. He told me he did not delete profiles and admonished me
that if I left I would be right back with my old user name or another user name.
He tried to get me to be a better Baja Nomad citizen but because of my false pride I was eventually temporarily banned because I would not allow
myself to be dictated to. I just threw all rational thinking right out the proverbial window.
I want everyone to know that I have now thrown the false pride out the same window and recovered my rational thinking from the parking lot below where
it landed. I subsequently sought forgiveness for my transgression which was given and here I am again promising to be a better citizen in Baja Nomad.
HOSE A I hereby officially and publicly apologize to you and to the owner of Baja Nomad, Doug for my error in judgment and pledge to be a better
citizen. HOSE A I ask you to please reconsider your resignation as Moderator and come back in here as such where you truly belong.
Edit: I would also like to humbly ask forgiveness from the rest of the members who suffered as a result of my childish stupid rants. From here-on-out,
may we all get along and have fun in here which this place was created for.
Your friend and fellow member

We inquiring, superior, arrogant snobs want to know.
Appology arrogantly accepted, I love righteous indignation.

Just for the record, no other names have been used by me to be a member here. I was temporarily banned because I would not conform under Elinvesti8
but was granted access again under the same Elinvesti8 name when I agreed I was a bad boy and would come back as a re-born Baja Nomad. That is as
complicated as it gets.

No I never operated under an ass-umed name before November 20, 2007. That was the date I first joined Baja Nomad.

Hose A says what he means & means what he says!
He submitted his letter of resignation & he meant it. I sincerely appreciate & respect those who honor their word...sadly in this particular
case for a lot of members, his being a man of his word means he won't likely be coming back. He's not checking U2U's & hasn't even logged on to
the site at all since he resigned. You can verify that by looking at his profile to confirm his last log on date & time. He got fed up with a
small number of posters who repeatedly refused to abide by the posted Board Rules & their attitude with his attempts to deal with them. Hose A
was a great moderator, fair & impartial, IMO. As ELINVESTI8 has stated, Hose A bent over backwards attempting to get him to stop the highly
disruptive posts he was making for the sake of the entire board, not just for Hose A's benefit. As many random posts on several threads all over the
board confirm, most; but certainly not all; appreciate the thankless job he did & view his absence as a loss to the site in general, as well as a
personal loss.
I personally don't feel Hose A's decision is one we have the power to change. I believe that's between Hose A & Doug. They alone know the reasons
given for his resignation; despite comments elsewhere on the site to the contrary, I was not privy to the contents of his resignation letter. I do not
feel he will be returning. But I'd love to be proven WRONG in this instance!!
ELINVESTI8, you & Bruce Leech & a few others I can't recall off the top of my head have made references likening hitting the Report Button to
being a bad or shameful thing to do. That feature is there for a reason; I believe a great portion of the logic of it's existence is to make Doug and
any other moderator's life easier so they don't have to read each & every word in each & every post. It's a helpful tool for them, and I
personally have NEVER seen either Hose A nor Doug complain about anyone using the Report Button; to the contrary, I have only seen them request it be
used. Yes, there probably are some who abuse the use of it, but then it becomes the moderators responsibility to make the final decision on how to
handle each individual situation. We don't always necessarily agree with the outcome, but they don't delete anything just because a post was reported.
They have to agree the post violated Board Rules. So please try to change how you view people who hit the report button, it's done for as many
different reasons as their are unique & individual personalities on this site. It's a viable tool....not a "Tattle-Tale, Stool Pigeon, Squealer,
or run to Mama or Daddy button!

longlegsinlapaz If you and some others could use the report button responsibly and not just hit the button every time some disagrees with you then the
moderators job would be much easier.

Longlegsinlapaz I agree with everything you said in your post. You will not get any argument out of me on this one. I am out in the open above
apologizing for my conduct. I want to say for the record that I never ever once badmouthed Hose A or Baja Nomad and I would never do that. I did not
do it in the public forum nor did I do it in u2u. Yes I badmouthed the “Report Button” pushers and called them names and I was wrong. If you have any
influence over Hose A please ask him to come back as he is missed by many here on Baja Nomad. I will confirm Hose A had not been checking his u2u
because I sent him one and he has not read it. As stated before I am sorry to all who I offended in my past childish rant. It won’t happen again. And
again for the record I never used any name other than Elinvesti8. I did my penance and was accepted back with my original name.

Bruce, I haven't a clue what you're basing your assumption that I'm a heavy report button pusher on, but in the 2 1/2+ years I've been on this site, I
doubt if I've hit the report button 10 times...over half of those have been within the past couple weeks for crude language, abusive posts &
unwarranted attacks on newbies.
If, by your standards, this is considered irresponsible use of the report button...so be it.
For your information, I've never hit the report button because someone doesn't share my views...obviously you've missed a lot of my
posts; I believe I can & do state my thoughts & feelings in a pretty straightforward manner & I tend to be upfront & honest &
fight my own battles with no need nor desire to call in a moderator to pull my buns out of the flames!
