I think she has a point.

And then you state several incidences that have been deleted here for various reasons.

I think that simply re-enforces her point.

"for you to think that there are many crimes that would have any bearing on or concern for tourists that do not make it to Negril.com is only speculation on your part. The facts do not tend to back up your statement."

I disagree.
From my perspective as a most of the year resident of Jamaica is that petty crimes often don't get reported whether they be perpetrated on locals or tourists. Frankly I think many instances that do get reported here on N.com are by people who speculate on what may have occurred to someone else or heresay accounts of what they heard. Most of the time (I believe but I might be wrong) the actual victims don't relate their first-hand accounts of the crime. The majority of the deletions are from those speculation threads because they are just unfounded or unsubstantiated rumors or "suss" and that misinformation only makes the actual truth harder to discern.

Rob and Lisa (I am sure) hear many different accounts of these incidents from all sides. Rob tries to set the record straight when he believes he knows the true account of the incident when a rumor mill thread begins to be hashed and re-hashed to a point that the truth no longer resembles what actually happened.

Above all you have to take into account that N.com exists to promote tourism to Negril and to Jamaica as a whole. You want the news then you have to check the Gleaner or the Observer, watch TV or listen to the radio.

Just my personal observation.
