Sounds like a nice coat of sugar to me.... with a touch of hypocrisy thrown in for good measure. You speculate that only a fraction of incidents are reported here, and complain about that on Negril.com. Yet you feel perfectly within your rights to decide what should be reported or not.

None of us at the staff of Negril.com would ever make a decision like that. If it happened, it happened, it is not up to us to choose what gets reported or not. Other than when the privacy issues of the victim become involved, actual incidents should, can and are being reported here.

Four robberies happen at a single property in a single week and and no one reports even one of them anywhere? And the owner "warns" you of this before you check in? This makes me think, or raises my "spidey sense" as some have called it. Something just doesnt sound right about this, there may be more to this story than any of us know...

So now these 4 completely vague, second hand, speculative, non-informational or beneficial alleged robberies have been reported here. The information can offer no benefit or help to any of the readers of this board other than they may or may not have occurred.

I stand by what I wrote:

"Because of cellphones, smartphones, Negril.com, Twitter, Facebook, OGNR, the Gleaner, the Observer, the Star, Youtube, personal blogs, Tripadvisor, visitors own local newspapers and countless other resources available to everyone on the internet at a moment's notice, there are very few real incidents (along with a few fake ones) that do not make it to the internet nowadays. And with Negril.com being the largest Negril information source available, the true incidents do tend to make it here. To think otherwise is not understanding the reality of how invasive and fast information travels in the world today."

You and Suzen can disagree, but you are the one making decisions about what gets reported or doesnt get reported, not Negril.com...
