David K's 'haters'??
Anyone notice that 'those' who have a problem with David K seems to be the high posters.? Reminds me of the "bullies" from 'grade school'. And the
amazing thing, this seems, that they never 'get over it'?????? Have any of you ever "decked" him when you've met him personally? Wouldn't
surprise me. Wouldn't surprise me either if your all "divorcees' at one time or another in your life." Sort of a need to know question I guess.
After thought. Perhaps it happens to be a personality trait that hates people that want to be helpful. Viva La David k for his maps, pictures and
comments. Be tough David K.

I agree Phil, but to help explain those haters. I really doubt if they have anything better to do with their time/life, so this gives them purpose.
See David is helping them without even trying!!!
All is well in La Paz
Happy Trails

David K's gold stars are much greater than his brown stars, as any relatively clear thinking Nomad could deduct. But in my short time as a Nomad, I
have also noticed that he sets himself up for abuse a little too often. The bottom feeders anywhere and everywhere are a fact of life. DK, excersize
restraint on the enviro/politico matters, unless you are really enjoying the dance. If so... freak out and have fun, (as we used to say back in the
60's). Nomads is a fun place to be..right?

DK has a lot thicker skin than I have.
In my 8 years as a Nomad, I have seen numerous members quit this board over lesser abuse than David has taken.
I know that David and his beautiful wife Elizabeth (who never says much of anything on this board) has a great heart, and were it not for him, his
maps, advice, photos, trip reports, answers to questions, and numerous friendships throughout Baja, this board would be just another bulletin board.

Things sometimes get heated when David and I go around about our political differences!  He's the guy that recruited me here when Amigos de Baja website shuttered and MySpace had yet to be invented!

I don't think anybody here hates him. Just some people here find his hot air insufferable, and feel a need to debate his hyperbolic misinformation,
eh?

If you can't love David - you probably can't love anyone.
He has my greatest respect.

I like DK..even when I disagree with him! And the fact he is actively endorsing Hillary for the presidency shows that anyone can change!

This thread could have been started 10 or 15 years ago. Somethings never change.
He obviously does stuff to rub some the wrong way. Denying that is folly.
As long as Sun Boy stays away from commenting on photo sizes I can mostly tolerate him these days.

ARE YOU HIGH ON DRUGS????
you do know this wannabe baja guru you're defending is fast approaching FIFTY THOUSAND posts! not to mention another TEN THOUSAND posts over at
tacomaworld! and you're telling us WE must be "probably a bunch of divorced losers with nothing better to do"????
now make no mistake, although we might roll our eyes at the repetitive maps,google earth, mission,and tires in the sand photo's,thats all baja
related.
where the problem comes in,david CANNOT stop himself from constantly promoting HIS political agenda, whether or not you happen to agree with it, IT
SIMPLE DOES NOT BELONG HERE!
tell you what Phil here's what you do. take the rest of 2016 off and start reviewing all of davids FIFTY THOUSAND posts and i'll bet you'll find
almost without exception every nomad whizzing match can be traced back to your beloved mapman spouting some chit about global warming, how big
government ruined his life or some political rant that has absolutely no business on a baja forum.
please....report back with your findings!
we'll see how long this lasts, negative comments about david usually mysteriously disappear.....

I'll jump in here;
What I know about I share...want to know something about the TJ airport or Volaris airlines? I post. My 45 years of traveling Mexico and Central
America get pretty well covered, so I enjoy others postings. My son's 8 years in prison and exoneration of a false conviction don't have much to do
with Baja nor my Construction business, 4 marriages, 15 grandkids either...so I'll probably never reach high posting numbers.
Now, if I had a notion to map the most hidden treasures of Baja, read volumes on it's history, wrote a book, led tours, loved off road vehicles, AND
CARED MUCH ABOUT ALL OF YOU like family.
I'd be like DK...
But most of the time I can hardly stand my family.
So I go to Baja.

I love David.
Just not his whining, or politics. I can even tolerate his maps (which sometimes overwhelm the original post) or his constant attempt at correcting
photos. His exuberance to help can lead though to posting information that is years old. Those of you that travel Baja extensively and frequently,
know this can get people in trouble, as things constantly change.
I have bantered with DK since the Amigo de Baja days. I love him.

Wow, glad I read that.
That was damn near close to interesting!
If you want to post polarizing commentary expect to attract the accompanying energy that it draws.
It's a pretty simple equation.
I don't care too much what anybody posts as long as you can leave the personal and the made up out of it..... if a case can be stated then that is
about it.... how compelling that case is is what matters and repeating it thousands of times won't change the acceptance or rejection of it.
I would never expect David and I to share political beliefs and that is OK.
