I wasn't barred, but I did ask him to delete my membership, and he emailed me saying ' just don't post'
I guess he counts all members....keeps them numbers bumped up for the officials.
For me, I'm not sure who are sponsors of the site, but I don't go to the places that are favoured on that site by the boardies....
I only have a quick look on there if something particularly controversial is in the news. I find it funny how he quotes libel laws to close people's opinions down...I mean please, libel on the World Wide Web with all the bs that goes on that and social media...and in Jamaica..who is going to prosecute.....where you can get murdered and the powers that be can't get a conviction in a sandstorm....
I have noted that less and less of the old regulars post....and any dissenting view is still met with rude, disdainful responses.....I've never met a white guy from foreign who thinks he is more Jamaican and knows more about Jamaica than the born and bred Jamaicans in Jamaica ...!
So in answer to your question OT, I wouldn't patronise somewhere because he promotes it..but in all truth I never run in to them or any of these boardies....even when we stayed at rooms negril for years.
Yooper, it's not that crazy on this board...people pretty much say what they feel....I wish it was busier on here too.
We UK travellers are not that present on his board either.....
The young uns are all vlogging now about their travels to negril and Jamaica....with tens of thousands of views for each post....that is the future...his board is getting old....!!
