This thread, more than any other, illustrates the sort of attitude that contributes to the fact that the small-town tourism model is struggling in the face of mega ai destinations.
An actual visitor comes on the board and posts why it is he won't be coming back and so far all the responses are about why he's in the wrong
I used to post on here a lot. I have been to the DR quite a number of times but what put me of this board was some of the ones who have been on here a few years.
Like you said, this guy has come on here posted his feelings and got slated big time. Its not on. If he feels that he got hassled then who has the right to tell him he shouldnt have felt hassled and just because he had an AI band on it doesnt mean he asked for it or deserved it.
I wish some of the moderators would be able to calm down some of the condescending morons who jump on the back of every newbie who comes on here just expressing their feelings.
I am just so grateful and pleased that the original poster didnt call it the 'dominican' - that really does get the whingers going. We know it isn't called 'the dominican' but give these guys who have just experienced their first DR trip a break. Unfortunately though they don't know how to answer a post in any way other than in a patronizing or sarchastic manner.
They can come back after this post and moan but they cant change the fact that this is how it is. I have posted maybe half a dozen times this year, i used to average nearly a dozen posts a day. These posters help in many cases but also spoil these forums with the way they act, its a shame, plus.......it will never change, i could come back here again in a years time and they would still be doing the same.
It ruined it for me - and i am confident i am not on my own.
