Arcoiris' conspiracy theory
Arco, you are losing it. I don't understand why you just can't admit your errors. It would be much easier to do so than for us to keep reminding you of your mistakes. The issue is not that there was no flooding, damage, heavy rains, ect. due to Debby because there was. The issue is that you "declared" that the north coast was heavily flooded. On what grounds and evidence? On an article by the Listin, one that you so quickly provided a link to. Well, yes, some of us read Spanish, actually, it is our first language, and based on the article THAT YOU PROVIDED, there was no mention of flooding on the north coast.
Like I said before, you either misread Louise's question, misinterpreted the article (do you even read Spanish?) or it was bad faith. I gave you the benfit of the doubt. You turned defensively, as usual.
You trust CNN more? Good for you. Some of us take much of CNN and many other news sources with a grain of salt. After being on DR1 for over two years now, I tend to trust some people's words on this board much better, specially those who live in my country on a full-time basis. I still read news sources say only 100 people died during Georges, by the way ;-)
When someone contradicts you, you resort to writing that they are trying to "minimize negative information for the sake of not discouraging tourists". Now you accuse Roberto of doing that...now that you feel contradicted by him. I think Arco, that is getting kind of old, don't you think? And let's just suppose for a minute that was the case, some of the contributors trying to do just that. Can you just imagine how much of an impact they would have on the tourism industry if they purposely minimize negative information about the DR on this board? WOW, a big impact! You are taking this board too serious Arcoiris. Save your words for the big battles you often fight here and just admit you made a small mistake. And I say this because I know you're not going to go anywhere, even when you say you don't get anything but "tourist disnformation on this board." Even when you are banned, you always find a way to come back, so what's the point?
