Am I the only one??

[Carrie]

Shoot me, correct or ignore. I have joined and surely been hit and miss on this board. I can attest to my brief history … I still check in.

I find you have a wonderful crazy connection and history and help those lost souls. I revisit the board these days … what's to talk about. Few things here and there, but it is about the boardies. It astounds me that you all can dominate this site … maybe you need a revisit … or shoot me. I see help …. it's all about your experience and I am going to get crucified.

Bring it on … you all are such a wonderful history … I challenge how you all can dominate a site of goodwill that by it's very nature excludes. Boardies … Rob … is it social or boardies 20 years past. Take a breath and look at the Boardie Site. That is 80% of what you are. I am awaiting.

Hi Carrie,

I'm not sure of what you are saying. Can you make it clearer

Regards

Cap

Me thinks I challenged out of frustration … likely a goner. It's not about an argument … it's not a challenge. All I say is Boardies rock. You have it all. Thanks for the advice and welcome to the exclusion club.

[Carrie]

Thanks Captain …. clearer take inventory of boardie discussions and roll call and it's quite like talking to yourself.

[Carrie]

Pardon Captain. Something timed out there. My comment is reality and frustration … I touch down from time to time from my humble beginnings .. not sure if I was going to defend myself, make a contribution … or deal with existing members. You need not my grief

[Carrie]

I'm going to rip up the views. It is all light but I do notice the club. I really think it is a wonderful thing but it does appear game to exclude

I'm cool.

Now, JDd shows up of all times … hey dude you want to ridicule me.

It's been brought to my attention that someone thought this poster was me. She is not...just wanted to clarify.

[Carrie]

Exactly I have 10 more posts. My point originally is the clique and I sure mean no offence … to anyone here at all. Never. I'm sorry if CarrieBean got painted in an unflattering light.

I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink...
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink.

Carrie,

We held our 20th annual Boardie Bash just over a week ago, so that would explain many of the posts that you have been reading. We had a great gathering at Skylark and do want to thank everyone once again.

Contrary to be exclusional, the term "Boardie" is highly inclusive. In fact, by definition, you are a Boardie!

The term was first used on the Negril Message Board in 1997 by a poster who wanted to address everyone who was reading the Board. The name stuck and we still use it today.

The first "bash" in 1999 was called the"Meeting of the Board" as a way for people who read the Board to meet in person. This past Bash was notable by the number of people who attended who have never posted, but have only read the Board.

The roll calls may seem exclusional if you are not coming that month, but it is another way for the participants on Negril.com to meet each other in the flesh.

There will probably be more posts about the Bash, but don't feel excluded as you are a Boardie and can attend any of the annual events!
