Submarine personally attacks Russ and others all the time on posts. Just from what I have seen. I do feel that since the forum is called rocky point talk it should be positive news about RP. And the comments should be positive too. Where is the love ya'll?
ADCS brings up a good point. I'm new to this forum & I instantly noticed lots of personal attacks going on & worse than that certain people w/ obvious bad intentions trying to do harm to RP's economy. And it seems to be totally accepted & permitted by some on this forum.
At the end of the day everyone on this forum are people who like going to or spending time in Rocky Point. So why on earth would someone want to harm RP's economy? The excuse I've heard of " were mad because RP has grown so much & all these condo resorts are here now & the middle class is gone & our favorite place to stay is not there any more"... FIRST off I go all up & down the coast in RP & there are still many RV's, trailer's , ( what one of the posters i guess refers to as middle class ), from the Reef to the Mirador area's , Yes not as many are there as their used to be but many are still there.
I also loved RP the way it was back in the late 80's & 90's. But come on guys....cities grow, people discover cool places & things change ( life happens ). RP has had drastic recent changes like many other cities have gone thru. The drastic economy swing has hit & affected every city. When life hands you lemons.....thats right make lemon aid...dont pick up the lemons & throw them at your neighbors face. MY POINT is bashing RP ( which is clearly, excesively, directly & in directly going on here ) IS TOTALLY UNECESSARY. ITS NOT GOING TO MAKE THINGS BETTER. IT WILL ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE.
Lets say some people on this forum are successful in scaring away much of the tourism from RP. WHAT GOOD IS THAT GOING TO DO? Well lets see, first it would put thousands of good RP locals out of work, the condos would still be there ther are not going anywhere, etc It wont solve anything...
I loved Phx more when it was smaller. Now its huge & all these houses have been built in the desert where I used to go Mt biking, etc....There is nothing I can do about it. I'm not going to start ongoingly broadcasting & exageratting negative info about Phx because whats done is done & I'll adapt.
Look were all adults here. Lets use this forum like adults. This is an information forum about RP NOT a place to achieve your agenda of hurting torism in RP. Im not saying that if something bad happens in RP that was CONFIRMED & TRUE to not disclose that info. NO...disclose it if you feel compeled to in a constructive way that could help someone. But their is a big big difference between relaying constructive helpfull factual information OR trying to accomplish ones destructive agenda towards RP.
STUART.....I agree completely w/ you, NO personal attacks..( but if thats the case please enforce it on everyone equally, there is clearly people on here that this rule doesnt seem to apply to )...Also a signature line on a forum board is used to describe the poster....It shouldnt be used as a repeating billboard for an angry person to achieve their goal of scareing away tourists from RP. By allowing forum members to get away w/ this sort of behavior you are basically throwing gasoline on a candle & causing arguments amoungst the forum members. I say we loose the agenda driven ridiculous signature lines or we can continue to look like a bunch of idiots fighting amoungst ourselves over a city we all love. Or if the agenga signature that bashes RP is allowed to stay then we can continue the bad blood & keep blasting back & fourth at eachother w/ our own signature billboards to counter the one bad apple that started it all.
WE COULD ALSO PUT THIS UP TO A VOTE that a signature line is meant to describe the poster not to trash Rocky Point. I would have to think that the majority of the people on this form would feel the same way I do.
LIFE IS SHORT...LETS ENJOY IT & STOP THE HATE......THE NEGATIVITY ON THIS FORUM ONLY TURNS PEOPLE OFF...IM SURE WE ARE LOOSING TONS OF POTENTIAL MEMBERS / POSTERS DUE TO THE NEGATIVE ENERGY ON THIS FORUM......I'M NEW HERE & I NOTICED IT RIGHT AWAY
