Hi, of course, I am a "newbie" to your forum, but not a "newbie" to Mexico and the border, having been on it since 1963. Wow, that's old, isn't it? I have lived in Tijuana, Mexicali, and worked actively in Ensenada, Tecate, Agua Prieta, Juarez and Puerto Palomas, Chihuahua. It is one thing to love a place, and we do love these places to go to them, and it is another to be conscious about what is happening there. I don't know the issues with Jerry, but I would say that there is nothing wrong about being conscious. It is self-preserving, hopefully. So if you will accept a vote from a "newbie" on the forum, I will vote "no".
Oh, forgot to mention, that my family really loves Puerto Penasco. We just spent a week there and will be back a month in early fall. If all goes well, and we can manage it, we will be coming back regularly. But believe me, I am reading all the news in Spanish and English and am very conscious of what is the level of violence and comparing it to other areas of the border. It still is very, very much less violence than all other areas.
I'm firmly opposed on voting to ban any user. This is not a democracy, it's an internet forum. You don't like what somebody has to say, then put them on your Ignore list. It really is just that simple.
If we start banning for things like assinine "sigs", (sorry Sub....but it is), then we will have to start banning for things like continually pulling a post off topic, or banning Forum members who don't live in/visit Penasco, or are continually making assinine posts/pushing other member's "buttons" (the "dawg's" of the world), or those on here who have a business related agenda whenever they post (definitely not referring to Rosy!!!), or those continually bringing in ther liberal political viewpoints on every post....or being ex-New Yorkers.....:rofl:
So my vote is NO! A NO VOTE on voting! Thank you Stuart for your comment:gradea:

Hello Janetandclint, the subject isn't about Jerry, but another poster named Submarine. As far as I know, it hasn't been decided to settle this by vote, but just in case, please use your vote carefully...read his posts and then decide.
Personally, I'd just as soon he be gone. Then we can finally give someone else a chance to be our bigot-with-a-political-agenda-and-nothing-to-contribute-other-than-controversy-and-word-twisting.
I would rather have the idiots out in the open so we can identify them by their ignorance. If they are banned, they just take their poison underground. Give me the info, I am capable of deciding what I do with it. Duh.:duh:

So my vote is NO!
Hahaha...why make an exception for me, Joe?
I don't think he should be banned for any of the reasons you cite. Everyone on here shares. We exchange stories and experiences, bring concerns and insight and like you say, also throw in a smattering of our opinions, agendas and personal tastes. The problem with Submarine is that he does none of the above. I resent the fact that he is utilizing this forum and not even pretending to contribute. He thinks he's slick, but lately I've tested him more than once. Notice that when he runs one of his "polls" by us he doesn't even share where he stands. There is no contribution whatsoever. Tyler's point that this forum is for those who like or are at least interested in Rocky Point is a valid one. I'm not convinced Submarine qualifies. Frankly, I think we're being played...
Submarine cannot change any posts made by anybody. Only two people can do that - Tyler and myself. And we generally only do it when it's requested by the user. If you are saying he copied and pasted a post, then changed it to fit his own purposes, or his signature line, or whatever, he did so of his own accord.
Nobody puts words in anybody's mouth around here. There's usually so many coming out that we don't need to.
As to Rosy's point - as soon as we ban Submarine for his opinion, someone else will rise to the occasion and take his place. Rosy, you've been around long enough to see this happen (I won't dredge up a list of User names).
As I said, if you have issues with somebody's opinion, put them on Ignore. When virtually everybody on the forum has them on Ignore, that user is basically talking to themselves by even bothering to post.
On Edit: The reason (any user name here) is getting to you is because you let him/her. Do you not realize that is exactly what he/she wants to happen?
Tyler/Stuart, the Signature is what people look at too. Do you think they enjoy looking at Sub's Signature. A newbie looks at it and runs.
Terry....that may have been true years ago before our former VP "invented" the internet:stir:....but I think most people on the internet nowadays are able to figure out things like agendas, etc.....and are not scared off easily!
So....are you trying to tell us that your alter ego is the "dawg"????:rofl:
There was a consensus some time ago that I didn't have to call myself trailer trash if I slept under them and not in them. Now they just call me, and as I prefer, just plain old trash.:-D
Stuart / Joe, he took Rosy's post about the shooting and added stuff to it and made it his Signature. He added something that Rosy would never say. She asked him to change it and I'm not sure that he did.

Your point being???? How many of us do a cut and paste from somewhere on the web and don't properly give "credit"? He didn't put quotes around the whole sig with his "addition" and attribute it to Rosy..... Yeah, I know Rosy called him on it....
BTW....has anybody bothered to look at Sub's sig....that is, his now non-existent sig? He's probably coming up with something different!:stir:
Now....if we're going to key on people's sigs, there are others out there that some might find offensive (and I'm not saying that I find it offensive), for whatever reason....here's one (I won't attach the owner's name, although I'm sure it would be easy to find)...
WARNING There are people on here who intentionally post, fabricate & exagerate any negative info they can drum up about Rky Pt. These people despise that RP tourism has grown in size in recent years & that there are now thousands of upscale condos. These people are upset that RP has now been discovered by thousands more tourists & figure if they can spread enough negative info about RP then less tourists will come & they will have more room on the beach like they used to have.

Stuart, I'm fine with your decision to keep him or oust him. If you ask for votes, I'll put in a black marble, not because I disagree with him but, as I've said, I think he's playing us. I don't think he's here because he likes or is interested in RP. I wouldn't put him on ignore, on the off-chance that he might someday say something of interest (see, I can be an optimist too). As for your point that if we vacate the lowest rung, some other bozo will take up occupancy there, well...I offer that it might be an improvement...but that's your call and I respect your decision.
I would, however, like to ask you if you can do something about my words being misused in his sig. His adding content to something written by me is wrong, and as you all know, my protest was ignored.

Rosy....you may be better off just leaving it alone....those of us who know where he got most of the material in his sig (probably just the "regulars") also know that the last part was added by him. He didn't attribute it to you by putting your name around the quote.....The rest of the people reading the Forum most likely have no idea! And as I noted in an earlier post, that sig is now gone....
Joe, the sig is offensive because no one here should be allowed to misquote one another in our sigs. I don't want my words misused, do you? Let him find someone who agrees with him to quote...
Getting back to the tread (which came about because i told the truth about Tahiti and pissed Sub off) the women all have really big brothers that will kick your ass if you look at them wrong,the place is overpriced,over fished and over built. The beauty queens lack fake boobs...whats with that?
Joe, the sig is offensive because no one here should be allowed to misquote one another in our sigs. I don't want my words misused, do you? Let him find someone who agrees with him to quote...
Rosy....I agree with you on someone misusing another's words...but at the some time I don't recall seeing any quotes around the portion of his sig that he took from one of your posts, and attributing it to you....maybe I'm splitting hairs on this one....but it's a mute point....his sig has "disappeared"!

You're right, but it's a touchy subject with me when I've had to write something that is personally traumatic to have it used that way. Glad it disappeared. No doubt he'll soon figure out another way to earn 15 more minutes of attention. Arrgh...
By the way, did you guys see Kenny's beautiful daughter? Wow! (See? I can do the thread-bump too!)

~~~ Even though everyone ~~~ KNOWS ~~~ how I feel on this subject, ~~~ I AGREE WITH STUART ON THIS ONE, ~~~ I've been thru this grinder before, ~~~
And ~~~ BAN SUB, ~~~ give me a break, ~~~ than you better ban 50% of the other ~~~ "bleepers" on this forum ~~~
~~~ And don't give me the ~~~ SHIT ~~~ about ~~~ "agendas" ~~~ every other ~~~ "bleeper" ~~~ on here has a ~~~ "AGENDA" ~~~
~~~ And hell ~~~ NO ~~~ don't ~~~ BAN SUB ~~~ GODAMNIT ~~~
~~~ It looks to me like the ~~~ GODAMN DIME DROPPERS ~~~ you know the ~~~ CRY BABIES & WHINERS ~~~ have started their ~~~ CACA again, ~~~
By the way, did you guys see Kenny's beautiful daughter? Wow! (See? I can do the thread-bump too!)
Yes! She is so beautiful and talented I had to ban her from dancing on the deck with me, Linda, Chari and Julie cuz no one would pay any attention to us if she did! Actually, she would be welcome anytime! Our Mom used to dance, not quite that energetically, but similar!:bunny:
That's a good call Tyler. We all have opinions and even though there are great degrees of differences at times, for this to be a Rocky Point forum, you would think that the minimum qualification to be a contributing member would be to have an honest, accurate and honorable view towards the well being of Rocky Point. Submarine does not even come close to this criterion. Kennny, Rosie and others who have posted to get rid of him have my vote. (didn't even have to break away from Fox News to post that one!)
Kenny, that last line was a peace shout out to you. Hopefully we are on the same page about the well being of Penasco and this forum:thumbsup:

Of course Larry, but you did get one thing wrong it your post. I never voted to kick Sub off of the forum; but I did call him the consummate "ugly American".
This post would have been longer, but I have a taped Rachel Maddow show I'd like to watch.
Hey Jerry how long have you know about the sicarios? I know you used to travel the altar route. I used to
take that way too buts its been awhile.
I took it last week (one day stay to buy mesquite lumber from a ranch near Tubutama) .It took 3- 3.5 hours to ge tto Santo Tomas...road was ok....monsoons will change that soon... no bullet holes..no problem!

Hey Jerry, every time I travel that way I'm in a hurry to get somewhere. What can you tell me about Playa Paloma near you? I got an email from a friend this week who'd like some thoughts on it. I've not been in that neighborhood in years and years.

A few miles North of Santo Tomas,5 or 6 real big houses on the beach,sort of awkward site plan,i heard the Municipality of Caborca had some issues with the development plan(they got ahead of themselves) all and all i would really take a hard look at it myself but generally think it's an ok place. i have some pictures of it if you want.

Oh, tell me what insurance you sell and where do you sell it. I will make sure that I meet you for the next time we renew. We finally did one year's worth of insurance. We had been getting insurance for the exact days that we were going to Mexico and oh, my what a dumb thing to do, I figured out just two trips one of one week and one of two weeks would have almost paid for a year. But live and learn and will never do that again.

When you're ready, just follow the links in my signature. And next time you're in Rocky Point, stop by the Visitor Assistance office on the second floor of the Tequila Factory building. It will be nice to meet you, and we have other information available about RP.
If I'm not mistaken, most of the folks on this forum are Tequila Factory customers.
And fans of Fernando!!! Who's Fernando...you may ask? You just have to go to the Tequila Factory for some tequila tasting to find out!!:gradea::notworthy:
Funny, at the end of the "herding cats" commercial, the woman say's "EDS, managing the complexities of any business". My hearing ain't what it used to be because I thought she said "idiots" instead of EDS!!
Something just dawned on me. I didn't read this thread yesterday..............I just chose not to. I did, however, post a new thread asking about vegetables. I got a response from two people. I know vegetables is not an interesting topic, but it seems to me that unless you have a question about "the safety" or "the crime" or "whatever" in that catagory, you don't get a lot of responses....................ask a question in that category and everyone wants to put in their two cents worth and then a whole lot more. Seriously, what's up with that?? I'm just saying "can't we please talk more about the pleasant things of RP?" (I know, vegies.......pleasant??) But I think you all get my drift.....................
And, btw, I'm not trying to bury my head in the sand.............................because it's much more fun to build sand castles with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Julie, I didn't respond to your question about veggies because I didn't have an answer for you. I don't do the shopping in my family. Sorry.
Sorry you guys, I didn't mean for it to sound like I was whining because only two people responded to my post!! It was just an observation really. Lucky you, Rosie!!!! Hey Joe, "your words, not mine"...................................sound familiar??????? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. LOL! Joe, I guess you mean you were the other inappropriate term that responded to Julie's post? LOL! I still think you need a vacation. Are you coming down this weekend?

I'm hoping to....Barbie was buggin me about the rent....still juggling a bunch of stuff at home....and getting armor installed on my truck to run the gauntlet!!! Picked up a surplus 30 mm gatling gun from an A-10, trying to figure out how to camoflage it for crossing the border :stir::rofl:
For all you "bloodthirsty" types....here's a live fire demo of the A-10 (Warthhog)......one of the ugliest planes in the US arsenal, but it does the job..... just ask any surviving members of Saddam's tank corps....they fly out of Davis Montham in Tuscon, and you can occasionally see them practicing over the Barry Goldwater Range (Hwy 85 south of Gila Bend)
That gave me a chuckle, which I needed, after reading another thread that the new police chief chosen in Puerto Penasco was also shot. That is devastating.
That statement about the chuckle and the shooting was too confusing. I was reading Rosie Piquito's response about most of the forum users using the Tequila Factory. So when I go there, which I will, I hope to meet some of you.
Boy, Sheryl,
I was VERY surprised that he bailed! He always fought for what he stood for, even if it was wrong. I wish him no ill will and I hope he's all right......... But, I won't miss the drama.

I thought he was getting a little mean, kinda bully-like...I don't know who he is, but the constant negativity was draining! Got your PM today, and about 5 of the same thing yesterday. Sent a response...did you get that?

I totally agree with you Stuart. We'd be sheep if we all had the same opinion. Personally, I think its only a matter of time before the drug cartels take some American Family for revenge. The police in S Az have gotten notice that the drug cartels are after them for their latest drug find. Its going to get uglier before it gets better
