Hostile

[takinitslow]

Ok so is it just me or has this site become hostile? I thought this was a site where people gave their opinions on vacation experience that they have had. But is seems lately if you give a opinion and people don't think it is the correct opinion you get told that your opinion is incorrect. Just my observation.

It's only the internet - post away and don't take it personal. I personally don't really care what folks think cuz it's none of my business.

I think it is the "cabin fever" that happens each year about this time. People become frustrated by the winter and being indoors all the time and their nerves become a bit frayed. Personally, I think they need to book a vacation down here... (grin)

[takinitslow]

That's my point goldilocks this is the internet. People state lots of opinions that may or may not be true. But on this site lately if you say something that people think is wrong or makes Negril look bad you are told you are wrong. This is my opinion!

[takinitslow]

I feel ya Rob. Nothing people say on here or any site will keep me from coming to Negril. Just missin the one love!!

[Fred Stripe]

I agree with Rob,,,the folks like me who are Not in Negril and home in the snow get a bit more testy at this time of year maybe.

This too will pass.

opps..!!..
please, forgive me for laugh-ing, please

nevertheless, my-*answer* is:::>>> "..NO..!!.." ---- the board has NOT '.become hostile.'

it's like *family* in here:::
each *member* is different (i.e., unique, with varied realities & perceptions, etc etc etc)

as in blood or by-nuptial families likkle tiffs and/or seem-ing-ly *hostile* exchanges will pop-up every now & then. My relationships with my two (2) ex-wives, and some ex-girl-friends come to my mind ---- some 1st & second cousins, and a now deceased aunt, too. With them, the *exchanges* weren't hostile, just a likkle test-y sometimes ---- e.g., each side try-ing to be top-dog in a discussion/debate/exchange.

Now,
board-wise:::>> as I mentioned in another thread, it's mid-Winter-time. Historically, EVERY year at this time, folks get antsy and hyper-sensitive.

'Tis nothing new --- it's *normal*.

an aside::>> dunno 'bout where you are, but here in WashDC/USofA, there's a full-moon tonight. This-too will/can have an impact on the board *vibe*, that you're feeling.

another aside::>>> what's going on *lately* AIN'T hostile ----- if you check the WayBackMachine, you'll find a few discussions where things got REALLY hostile::::::: so-much-so, that some former-boardies (as with my two-wives), opt-ed for a *divorce*).

*This* is nothing.... 'tis a walk in the park.
mi-personally, don't see any *signs* of future divorce-ing on this board (lately).

The *cure* for whatever you're *feeling*, or whatever other-boardie-folks *seem* to be doing (per your perception) is to:::>> "..BOOK, Pack & Gooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

in closing, I got a question(s) for ya:::::>>>>> how's the weather up-there in Many-Snow-ta...???...
Heating bill OK..??..

lol

'member, mi-SAY::::>>> "... BOOK, Pack & Gooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

.........I thought this was a site where people gave their opinions on vacation experience that they have had. But is seems lately if you give a opinion and people don't think it is the correct opinion you get told that your opinion is incorrect. Just my observation.

yep yep..!!..

you *thought* right..!!..

being "..told that your opinion is incorrect.." is often referred to as "..reasoning.." na tru...... it DON'T mean hostility.

final question::::>>> have you ever been a fly on the wall and listened to some of your Jamaican friends *reason*, debate, blah blah blah....???...

or watched a Ja-domino or card game..??...

dem look/act like *hostile* ... but everything criss(sp?) nah tru

You're a wise man, Smith. Today we are having a heat wave in South Dakota! 35 degrees! Whoot-whoot! Doesn't sound so good up your way, though! Hang in there!
