Viagra_swilling. Are you talking to me?... are you talking to ME??

See, I have the most fun with my Own Posts, whereas your Own Rules didn't fly here.

So I'm seldom ****ed about the "rat pakt" (Tiger).

X.

Ps. Talk to a

[derinasderun]

I am going to miss him. He made me chuckle so many times!

Guess he will go back to debating himself on that other board. Bye bye...

[DoctoBuntonTen]

I was hoping you'd hang around to memetize TW every once in a while.

[Edwardthe_third]

I just joined OwnRules forum.I am tired of hearing about it.I want to see what he is spewing over there.

He got upset becaue:

1) So many of us disagreed with him and he couldnt generate a following on here,and

2) He wasnt allowed to propagate his ultra-left views on the war here


so he threw an impish tantrum and scampered off into the night.

Let him go.

Adios

Larry

[heltduell]

THUD!!!!!

That is the sound of the door hitting his ass on the way out!

[gMUVgw71]

"He came,he saw,he couldn't concure"!!!From day one "Own Rules" came with an "Agenda"! To turn DR1 into an extention of his "Ultra Liberal" World Politics" Forum! It didn't fly! His temper soon became evident,when he exploded about Robert "Deleting" one of his self-agrandizing posts.It was never deleted,he had just "forgot" where he had "left" it!

"Larry" mentioned this already,and also "OR's" penchant to "challange" those who critisized his points of view to a "Fight"!

We have seen them come,and we have seen them go! Those who come to DR1 only for what they can "TAKE",don't last! You have to be willing to "Give" to find a home on DR1!If you give a little,your idiosyncrasies will be tolerated! How is it that posters like,"AZB",Me,TW,"Larry",Tony C, and lots of the other "Oddball" characters have found a "Home" on DR!? We really do care about DR1!We give,when we can! We "take" what we can,but we like this site and aften join togeter to defend it,even though we are from opposite sides of the political spectrum!

When I read "OW,s" diatribe, I went for the delete button,but decided to read what the "Silent Majority" of DR1ers had to say first.I'm glad that I did. It would have been a mistake on my part to remove the "evidence". Better to let him hang himself with his own rope!

"PEACE" my Brother", "AT all costs" I am sure you would say!

"Better to die on your feet,than to live on your knees"! As I would say!

I haven´t been around much recently so I don´t know what happened. But I just wanted you to know that your posts frequently sparked dying threads..
Keep in touch

[Misespimb]

I hold no grudges, just an extremely strong difference of opinion. I've enjoyed your posts - strong differences of opinion are the spice of life - when there is space for discussion and exploration. Seems to me you're doing the same thing that you are accusing the general membership of DR1 of. It is quite possible to live here peacefully, meet great people and not p!ss anyone off - as well as adhere to the rules of the board.

[chuecafresss]

I completely understand that this is a private board subject to the will of the owners and thus a take it or leave proposition for anyone who registers here. Conversely, it is also the posters choice, for as long as they are allowed access, whether to remain here or not.

In my case, I've reached the end of the line and rather than pushing the owner to ban me by posting any number of flames, I chose to leave out of my own accord. This place is simply not for me. It simply can't be, for I don't do well surrounded by rabid racist, warmongering middle aged Viagra-swilling misogynistic and homophobic men, who, along with their groupies, enjoy nothing better than putting down the Dominican Republic and the kind people that live here. And woe be unto anyone who dares oppose them, for they'll turn their cannons (read: filthy keyboards) on anyone who dares.

I am not impressed as much as I am disgusted.

Hopefully, I'll keep in touch with some of the fine people that I've also had the chance to meet through this board -- you know where to find me. In fact, I've found Robert himself to be nothing but a great guy outside these boards -- trust we'll see each other again in a different setting. I hold no grudges, just an extremely strong difference of opinion.

DR1 is likely the best all-around site on the Dominican Republic -- too bad the forum turned out to be such a cesspool.

Be well, all.

[giDdfezP]

Time to close. After reading some of the posts, I'm beginning to understand why he might have left...

[Edwardthe_third]

Thank you for leaving.

[DextExexy]

I always find it interesting that people need to announce they are leaving. If the day comes that I want to leave I would email Robert and let him know, only because I'm a moderator. Otherwise I would just leave. No need for announcements and fairwell and maybe hoping someone will try and change my mind.

[v74ClzKY]

AZB....

if u feel that we are being selective...just send the us a PM. Feel free to PM me if u ever come across any issues in the airline forum. I am sure that my other fellow Moderators' will not mind if you do it to them also.


Another thing, if u are offended or feel that a post is inappropriate, there is a link called "report this post to a moderator" that you can also use.

DR1 is a great website but remember it is not perfect. If you are unhappy with anything, I am sure you can also let Robert know about it.

Don't be discouraged because I enjoy your posts.

As far as OwnRules, he is not being forced out, it's his choice to leave. Good luck to him

I did venture into his forums which are much more "left" than these boards are "right". He complained that people on DR1 that don't agree with the "right wing" posters get trashed.

So i make a few posts on his board and he calls me stupid. Oh well, I'll leave him to his sandbox. Interesting post, rafael, thanks for reporting your experience.

I thought from the start that "OwnRules" was an odd choice for a board name. However, I now understand that it means play by my rules or I'll take my ball and go home.

[Flistelib]

Don't know, Anna. Unlike his posts which I usually found irritating, this was a good way of letting everyone know he was finished and why. Closure for him, if that's what was needed.

[refsherne]

Isn't that "OwnRules" guy a homosexual?
I read some funny stuff in another thread about him having a "boyfriend". LOL

[realnilkless]

I, too, have enjoyed your posts. I must have not read the threads that flamed you and your opinions. I am sorry you feel the need to leave.

I was hoping I could meet you during my next visit. I anticipated having a lively discussion with you and knocking back a few Presidentes. I would still like to do so if there is any way to keep in touch. If you would rather not, I truly understand.

Buena suerte,

Tondra

[HawksBurnDown]

Yes a privately owned board that invites us to post our opinions, a person doesnt have to read or answer to any of the so called rabid racist, warmongering middle aged Viagra-swilling misogynistic and homophobic men posts that appear in the forums.

DR1 is no doubt the best all round site on the Dominican Republic, and I see no problems with adherring to Roberts Rules of Order. There are other forums on the Dominican Republic some have rules some have none.

I will miss reading your posts, whether I agreed with them or not.
Y'all take care now, I know you will be reading.

I'm in shock and awe
