Wrong place for dialog?
"Corky,
What post(s) have you reported to me recently as having issue with - and/or having broken the rules of the board?
How serious should I take this "plea" of yours when you have not reported anything - nor (as an almost 5-year "veteran" here) even showed the
consideration of posting these statements in the proper forum for board comments and/or issues (and thusly I've now moved it there, as I move posts to
the proper forum on the board almost every day).
Maybe you were more concerned about your statement being seen by everyone on here than following the system in place for such concerns???
-
Doug "
Oh that would have to be the Turtle thread that I recommended you address early on. Od course I have no influence on what you let stand obviously,
and those type of dirty posts with ill-content will get views but not applause.
I won't post the U2U I sent about that thread but you can if you like. I was concerned from day one.
You are absolutely correct, I don't rat out people and posts to you very often but I have reported a few.
It has been very tumultous on this board and I believe part of that is because we lack a full time mod. Yes, 5 yrs of viewing and interacting does
give me a little knowledge of what goes on in here. Pardon me for not posting in the appropriate place. Would you have dead-ended it there as well?
Excuse me for not being more private but you never followed thru as indicated in your U2U message, or did you?
If you want to censor me for stating the obvious then do it. It's not just me that would appreciate a little more hand-slapping.
I look at my post as not only constructive critisizm but as a plea to mute distasteful political words and innuendo. Maybe you haven't noticed but
there have been a number of newbies that feel overwhelmed or otherwise intimidated by heavy-handed know-it-alls who tend to muck up a thread with mean
spirited talk.
I would like to hear your opinion.
So much for dialog I guess. I simply asked you if there IS a moderator(besides you) that can moderate your forum. You certainly did not have to cut
me off.
End of explanation. Thanks for listening.
btw Doug, I believe I have contributed greatly to your forum with plenty of consideration.

Doug gave you what I consider to be an unbiased answer, one of the few
I've seen.
Quit whining, get over it.

Jack, is your name Doug too?
You my friend epitomize my posts point exactly. Why he doesn't dead-end you is beyond me.
Love your continuing negativity the most. (snif snif)

So you think your Positive Drivel is more important, maybe you should rethink what the purpose of a Forum really is.

I'd like to say something profound here but I seem to have misplaced it.... again
So I'll borrow one of comitans' signature lines that I would be served well to remember often

I've put myself in self-censorship mode and just delete the posts people don't seem to like. Just like the real mexican media. It really doesn't
matter to me whether the thread continues to make sense after that...
Some people just need a shot before the Pacifico.

It seems to me all the negativity is coming from posters with 6 or 7 stars under their names.

Being honest is negative? Baja is a great place! Love the boonies, the ranches miles back up in the mountains. The local people are fantastic. Isn't
that positive? If I hadn't invested $4k+ in fishing gear; kayaks, racks, etc. based on all the positive fishing reports from the Sea of Cortez, I'd be
one happy so-and-so. Just trying to see that some other rookie doesn't do
the same.

Corky,
See my recent (today's) post on this topic in Ken Cooke's string, "Why has Baja Nomad become such a depressing place?"
Basically, I think the Negativity problem is not unique to The BajaNomad.
I will stay out of the dialog between you and Doug.

Hey, I'm trying to hold up my end. Just check the lard and TV threads. Of course, not everyone appreciates my particular brand of comedy.

Sharks, I loved the Whaca Whaca. I am in awe of your ability to create such stuff and to post it. Wish I could do things like that and not just for
the board but for use in my writing projects and for just sending stuff to friends I left behind in the U.S. of A. I'm jealous so I didn't post at
all.
On the humor front, I have about a million insurance jokes I could post. No, no that's for Insomniacs Unanimous. Get those groups mixed up. I'm old.
