My dear Wiz (or am I addressing this to myself..oh nevermind)

I hear what you are saying and agree with you...sort of. I refrained for some time from even acknowledging Ribadopes existence...but that doesnt work with him. I am perfectly happy to return to LDM/Supe matters. I dont recollect having any problems with any other forum members...nor do we see any other people bickering on the forum here The problem here rests on that idiots shoulders. HE is the one who brought this upon himself. Interesting thing to see how many folks are sick and tired of his constant BS..it never ever ends.

Never have I see a dagooncho (sorta means big fool, idiot. moron, someone who doesnt do anything well,
you get the picture)such as Ribadope (actually Ribadope might be a nice new adjective . Wonder if I could get Websters to introduce it into the language)

Just my 2 cents worth. Though I too would like to see things calm down.

But they wont...he just cant help himself.

But nobody has to take the bait! We're all adults - let's just ignore the noise and talk some Dutchman.

This is not a "trash Ribaudo" forum. We're all free to ignore his posts if we like. The sort of rabid-dog type of circling and attacking that is going on here makes me sick.
Wyatt, you're not really in a position to be gloating like you are, either. Joe may or may not be a jerk, but he hasn't threatened anyone.

Can we all just knock it off now? This really stinks of kindergarten.

Wiz,

Very well put, and I can’t disagree with a word of it.

Redison,
Sorry if you took is as another insulting post, that's not how I meant it.

I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do. I'm a guilty as anyone of being an immature fool (azdave was absolutely right), but if we could all just stop, including Joe, this might blow over. If we don't, it never will.

I'm not taking sides here, except with the people who say we've all been acting like children and this forum is suffering as a result. I'm not trying to be anyone's pal. I'm just trying to stop this craziness.

Please, check your PM.
Thanks

Another 100%er

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

All,

I agree with almost every thing that has been said here. As you can see, even though everyone seems to agree, they can't let it go. I have been trying to tone down the rhetoric, but must admit abject failure. Just a weakness in my character, I suppose.

I will not accept the invitations to leave the forum. I will do my best not to add to the gutter conversation. If I backslide, please remind me of this post.

Wiz,

I am 100% with you on this.

Gene,

As a personal friend, I am asking you to stay with the forum. My being here will add fuel to the fire, with just normal LDM posts, but I can only try from my end.

For all of the cooler heads, thanks for all your advice.

Respectfully,

Joe

I’d be happy to ignore Joe, Just the way I have always tried to.
Until he goes out of his way to attract my attention, then I’ll go out of my way to let him know he’s got it.

Still Trying

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

DED,

Thanks. This sounds like something I suggested a few days ago, but I believe the combined weight of some of the members may have made it a little easier to swallow.

Whatever works, as far as I am concerned.

Respectfully,

Joe

If the forum is going to have peace then it should be extended to ALL members, Wyatt included. If Wyatt was man enough to apologize he should be given the benefit of the doubt. His posts arent any more crazy than some of Bills (or my own for that matter).

Some of us no longer or rarely post. I should not think there is any mystery in it. But, should anyone wonder why? I refer you to the above postings. This thread is a good example of what happens on the Forum.

the same thing that has happened on other forums has/is happening here.BOTH SIDES are at fault here,the gutless, spineless pack of rabid dogs that round on 1 or 2 members, and the need to justify themselves by their victims.NO-one of sound mind, or any hint of principle could condone whats gone on here these last cuppla days.Theres a few here that should be ashamed of themselves and in my opinion the owner should have stepped in some time ago and kicked half a dozen off the site.There is no place in a civilised forum for bully boy tactics,i can see that theres an element on here whos only currency are lies, who can take them seriously after all this?Im sick to the stomach at what ive seen here....a potentially interesting forum has been destroyed by a mindless minority.I dont see any reason to visit this site again, theres no point.Ill leave you to squabble amongst yourselves, like the juveniles you obviously are.

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

Thomas,

I am going to guess that your email is not working or only does so when it gets the urge. Computers!

I can't speak for anyone else, including Bill and DED, but I will no longer allow myself to be baited into this nonsense. I understand that I was one of the worst offenders, but it has become sickning.

It was not my job to point out and insult the people that came on this site with special agendas. Don't know what possessed me. I have tried many times to make peace on this forum. The results are always the same. These latest posts are a good example. Those who "talk" peace, keep agitating.

This is the last time I will say this: I am not DED, nor am I Bill. I have only used one other name on this site. It was too difficult for Heidi to get her paws on one key at a time (fat fingered), so I worked the keyboard for her. :lol: That was also an attempt to tone down the hatred.

This is also the last time I will ask anyone to stop this madness.

DED and Bill,

Please, as friends, let these guys have this particular playground. We can stick to the topics and not get pulled into their little game of dodgeball.

Thomas,

Carolyn and I wish you and Carol the best. Now that you are back home, it must feel wonderful, as there really is, "no place like home". :)

Das Hill

Post by Joe Ribaudo »

LDM,

Welcome back.

It seems to me, that what is lacking here, is time or distance. That makes the key to finding this "hill" appears to be the north turn of "about 1 mile".

There are only two places where this can be done, practically speaking.
Both places are just east of Malipais Mountain. The first is a hill of about five hundred feet directly east of Malapais and seprated from it by a short canyon. The next place is one canyon east of this hill. It is possible to travel, almost, directly east to reach this second canyon. From the description given in the letter, it seems unlikely that any other place would fit, because other landmarks would come into play.

All conjecture on my part.

Once again, welcome back.

Respectfully,

Joe
