I hope you find the other half of your whit somewhere (should be "wit", but a smart guy like you knows that). Perhaps you are sitting on it.

His "Who is Aaron" comment might be legit, as he only signed up here in July and the search function is still on the fritz.  He might just be guilty of joining at the wrong time.  

After the few recently banned members and those few posters accusing Cheryl of being a troll you might still be in the search and destroy mode.  I'd agree with ya it does sound odd as to why someone is searching in Colombia as well as NY for Latinas. Say, isn't Aaron also from NY?

I wouldn't let CaliAdvisor get under your skin though.  We know how you feel about Aaron.  Give this guy some time and enough rope and if it is Aaron...well as they say you can't change spots on a leopard, or is that stripes on a tiger?  You get my point.

BTW, how is your wife doing?

Jim, what are the odds of a newbie being so ill mannered right at the get go?  There is not a single post where CaliAdvisor makes an attempt to see things from the other person's perspective, or more importantly tries to rationally explain his often bizarre remarks in a reasonable manner.  I realize we have had other arrogant and bizarre posters right off the get go as well, such as houndog, but houndog was just plain weird and couldn't disguise himself as someone sophisticated to save his life, but the CaliAdvisor is trying to pass himself off as a normal, but sophisticated Joe who just happens to have a lot of experience in Colombia.  (Though a recent post of his where he mentions Amsterdam as if he travels there regularly makes me start to think he is more James Bondish than Joe regular.  Hey, who else was James Bond like?  Oh but I am getting off topic here.)

I think only someone who has posted here before and moved past being a newbie would exhibit the arrogance of this poster.  Even Big Wally of a few months back started out humble in his approach.  And when he gained a little arrogance and then found he didn't have the audience he thought he would, he split, unlike this poster.

To put this issue in another light, let me ask you this.  What do you think the chances are that Aaron just went away after he was banned?  Do you really think he would just dry up and blow away after his unexpected banning (at least I think it was unexpected to him) without trying to find a way back on?  I think the chances are nil his ego would give up so easily and I think with his collegiate environment he could drum up at least one new email address to register with.

And if you accept my assumption that he is back on the board, then I ask you which new poster do you think most resembles Aaron?

well Izzy Patrick should know if he is posting from colombia. He knew that cheryl was posting from Brazil. He has a hot mail account though.


   Actually Aaron committed suicide he knew he would get banned but he was pushing the envelope. Who ever this guy is he is arrogant and sensitive. He has knowledge but it is superficial.  At present he is holding back in his responses, but he certainly dislikes criticism. Let him puff up for a while and gets his final skin then you will know what he is. JIM C

I'm with jim c on this one - either he's legit and truly in Cali or - maybe he's got a friend that verified my restaraunt recommendation, and gave more details - whatever the case it was accurate.  I would say the fishing forecast looks good.  Give it time - as long as some useful info is being provided and he indeed has done so, no problem.  As far as IP's go, anyone can mask that just by doing a google search - simple, I could be in BFE right now if I chose to.

(PS I think the sure bet on trolling right now is good 'ole Hans)

My wife is "fat and happy".  She went to Colombia for two weeks and got spoiled by her mother while she was there and came home with a great attitude and weighing 7 pounds more.  Of course she hadn't gained much weight since becoming pregnant because of her illness back in June.  ButI think she is 100% back to normal now, with her sickness completely behind her now.

Same Aaron nastiness, editing someone's post and "spinning" the nastiest, most malicious comment you can make, in order to provoke a reaction. And you really think that spelling "dude" as "dood" is going to fool anyone? You've been outed by everyone on this board, troll. Get a life.

Finally a voice of reason on this topic.  A basic grasp of some vocabulary, past present and future tenses should enable one to communicate about anything albeit in a round about manner - and that can be learned easily in 30 days.  I'm just not going to recommend delaying a trip to Colombia because of a lack of great knowledge in Spanish.  It's much easier to learn and build that extended knowledge down there, and a heck of alot funner.  I saw a gringo once while out dining in Cali - apparently he came armed with 2 handheld electronic translators, he and his date looked like they were playing computer games across from eachother at their table.  They appeared to be having a blast and communicating very well - I believe I caught some of the words going back and forth like "thermonuclear catastrophic radioactivity" Smiley
