Timm,
The world is made up of many people from many places and many cultures. These boards - this one, negril.com, tripadvisor is a slice of this wide and diverse world of many people with many ideas and opinions with one commononality - a love for travel to Jamaica.
In this world you will run across people you don't like or agree with. Doesn't mean they are bad people - doesn't mean you are. Just means you don't agree or get along. Yet, there are others with which you click, agree with and can converse with easily. Using the internet forum model you will run into the same thing.
The difference of this board from the others is not necessarily the people that participate - pretty much, they are the same folks on TA and negril.com. The difference is that here we can be honest about some of the often harsh realities of the country we love to travel to without fear of censorship or chastisement. That's what makes this board my favorite of the three.
You as an individual will always have a choice of participating or not. I'm sure your voice would be a welcome one here among all the varying voices, not always in agreement and always with different views. It is up to you if you want to join in, just read or blow it off all together.
There's only one "rule" here on the Yellow Board - RESPECT. All of us have slipped at times but all of us come back to that one basic human kindness.
Peace,
Rastagirl
