Jim, I'm flattered. . .

Your response is too 'dead serious' for DR1's OPEN forum? Right.
Put your ego aside and post your response to "missing_DR" here. We all on DR1 are waiting for the big "dead serious" post.
I hate when one resorts to a bicker and I know Rob hates it even more, so this is my last comment on this topic. Aside from coming directly from DR1, one can find the other Dominican forum by going to Bravenet.com and doing a FORUM SEARCH with keyword "Dominican".
Since your forum doesn't show up (the original site - now deleted - and its replacement do show up, as well as a few other Dominican related forums), I can't imagine how anybody would ever have arrived there if not for having read your suggestion to visit it. Maybe you can tell us all how they got to "your" forum and then "discovered" DR1 from that.
"Every other post is CES on your new board. Or maybe more. Most of the posters have never posted here on DR1. Hmmm... "
Just an observation.
Again, the question. Why create a second bravenet forum? The existing one replaced the original before yours showed up. That's a fact. The DR1 forum is quite open these days so censorship as a reason doesn't hold much water. Now you say the DR1 forum is TOO open for the seriousness of your response?

That you would take time form your otherwise busy schedule to concern yourself with my message to another person and any way just how is it that you've become "missing's" proxy?
OK let us examine what you've written:
~ ~ "Your response is too 'dead serious' for DR1's OPEN forum? Right. Put your ego aside and post your response to "missing_DR" here. We all on DR1 are waiting for the big "dead serious" post."
At times my writing might be a bit peculiar in style and perhaps I was cryptic in my message to
"missing", but I'm positive that it was clear that I had a specific person in mind when I wrote the
post.
And how is it that my "ego" is at issue here? For you to question my ego is the same as "the kettle
calling the pot black". I'd say that you are being a bit condescending in saying that every one is
"waiting for the big "dead serious" post." I asked "missing" a question and 'IF' he would/will reply then my message would/will be tailored to his remarks. Just how in the hell can I write a reply to "missing" before he has said a word to me?

Good strategy Jim, goat me to do something that I said I wouldn't do and then say you won't participate, in other words pick a fight and then walk away.

Jim you need to do a new search, "DR + RD" comes up number seven and is followed by the other spin -off DR forum. Also "DR + RD" is being given links by other sites, just got a couple today and
Rob has commented favorably on my making mention of and linking to DR1 in my posts.
~ ~ " ' "Every other post is CES on your new board. Or maybe more. Most of the posters have never posted here on DR1. Hmmm... " Just an observation.' "
Strange that I would be the one to get things rolling on a new forum that I have a vested interest in.
DR1 = a staff working lots of hrs./ day, a payroll, professional management, paid advertising, cash flow, etc. etc. "DR + RD" = free web hosting and a semi educated guy that has only a limited amount of time to spend at the keyboard of an old PC.
~ ~ "Again, the question. Why create a second bravenet forum? The existing one replaced the original before yours showed up. That's a fact."
It's a philosophical thing with me, the owner of other spin-off posts only occasionally and has a
sort of 'hands off' policy for his forum. As to my site I have a daily involvement and actively
participate, I've just added a photo album link for any one that wants to share some of their DR
related pictures.
~ ~ "The DR1 forum is quite open these days so censorship as a reason doesn't hold much water. Now you say the DR1 forum is TOO open for the seriousness of your response?"
I'm saying that some of the content of the "Open" forum is fiction written by a few people with way more time on their hands than I care to 'deal' with. I don't want what I have to say competing with the sophomoric and sometimes childish drivel that is part of the "Open" forum. What I have in mind for "missing" is heart felt and comes from my experiences of the past 35 years with my Dominican familya and the Dominican Republic. Ms.Janice has pointed out the fact that some of the writers in "Open" forum are simply competing with each other, a kind of "my lie is bigger than your lie" contest.
~ ~ "Post your response to "missing_DR" here. We all on DR1 are waiting for the big "dead serious" post."
When and if "missing" decides to reply then I'll do as I please, and not at your prodding. If I should decide to write something even if "missing" doesn't reply then it will post on "DR + RD".
regards,
. . . CES

Stop complaining about Dom Rep I am sick and tired of you guys who are always complaining about Dom Rep. The traffic, power, water, dirt etc etc etc and the bloody list is endless. I love DR and hope this country never changes. There is no where in this world I can have a cool Presidente and drive, get to the beach in an hour and change, stop and have more Presidentes on the way, meet a new chick who wants to show me how Dominicans do it and find a place full of people to hangout on a Tuesday evening.
If you are one of those who complain about DR. Why bother visiting the Island, and what are you doing at DR1.com in the first place. So if you to complain I am sure you guys can find some site called NuevaYol punto com and leave DR.com for us chosen ones who were not born here but are more Dominicans at heart than many a people born here.
