I am back just to say goodbye since this will be my last post. Like I told you before, Sunday is my other day off this week. I would like to say a few things to members of the board before you don?t hear from me again. The DR1 folks and specially the DR1 Power Elite feed each other half-truths and misconceptions about the Dominican people. These half-truths and misconceptions get repeated and repeated so much that after a while everybody starts believing them and they become very real in the minds of the DR1 Power Elite. (Some of these beliefs are: ?all workers at resort hotels are sankies or prostitutes and they are bad, uneducated people?; ?Dominicans live only for today?; ?Dominicans are lazy?; ?Dominicans will not pay back money that they owe you?; etcetera). When someone comes along that may challenge those beliefs the DR1 Power Elite shuts them down, by closing threads or insulting and/or demeaning the posters who end up hiding and are never heard from again.
That is the reason why the thread I was on was closed. The Power Elite got nervous when I challenged the established belief about sankies. I guess I am a sankie since I work at a resort hotel and go out with tourists after work. I go out with tourists because I like them and want to have fun with them and hope that they also have a great time. Just like some of you guys and gals here like to go out with dominicans and have fun with them (we don?t call you names because you do that or think that you are all fat old guys with a lot of money to buy the girls).
I just happen to be an educated sankie and that is a major no-no on this board. It goes against a major belief held by the Power Elite. I speak, read and write English and Spanish fluently. I have had some college (computer programming) and I should be completing my education soon. I have a tourist visa to the USA and have traveled to Europe and South America. I have several bank accounts, credit cards, and a brokerage account. I save some money no matter how little I make. I believe in doing the very best at my job no matter how demeaning some people on this board think it might be. I don?t tell the women that I go out with that I love them or that I want to marry them. I have no desire to live anyplace else but the DR.
The DR1 Power Elite needs to chill some, especially with newbies. When a newbie asks a question, all the rude people come out and tell them ?do a search; check the archives.? After a few of these rude remarks the thread is closed and the newbie is never heard from again (for example: buttercup, El Austriaco). Why can?t you just answer a few of the questions? It won?t take more bandwidth to answer the questions than to tell them to stop wasting your precious time. We know that the Power Elite is the only one that knows what topics are worthy enough for DR1 but maybe you would have a lot more users if you would just chill a little with the newbies. You need to have a little compassion and help those that are not as ?enlightened? as you think you are in the DR ways.
The only thing that I wanted to do was to open a dialogue so that you may learn a little about what you call sankies. There are a lot of ?sankies? (if not most) that are hard working and honest people. Some of them do really fall in love with tourists, and some of them do really marry them and live happily ever after. Just like the members of this board, there are all kinds of sankies, those that are good people and those that you would not want to be associated with. That is what you need to learn and that is why I posted. We are just like you.
Thanks for all the emails, they are appreciated
Thanks Anna for welcoming me. Appreciate your kindness. DR1 need more people like you.
