You know I wonder if he even has friends close to him? There was one guy posting for a while but even he quit. I have a feeling he has no friends at all, at home or on the net.

By the way this is open to all who wish to join.

Heck I've gotten liberated twice, but seems the first time most of my friends stayed behind...This time he's managed to alienate them as well...

Nightlife1970 03-07-2010 05:32 PM

I will bet this thread has had more action than his site today.

indywhsle 03-07-2010 05:33 PM

Well, That didn't take long. I got banned.:ban:

Ebay Ed 03-07-2010 05:38 PM

i bet he is one pissed off person right now with us over here and he cannot do a damn thing about anything we say / type plus the little facebook thread and i have emailed a few people today that i had email addresses for :evilb:

I made a comment like that on the site a few weeks ago and you won't believe it.:eek: It got deleted.:grinser010: And "FLAKE" GO HOME! We don't need you here. You need to be giving your "knowledge" to all the people that are looking for the magic prop to go from 55mph to 57.:lolhit:

Irishtornado 03-07-2010 05:45 PM

I knew that wouldn't take long...He's probably going down the memberlist in LSCR.com and banning everyone

Irishtornado 03-07-2010 05:49 PM

Considering this thread has gotten more views than his site probably has his site has today

never enuff 03-07-2010 05:56 PM

These problems shouldn't be a suprise to him. Problems like this have been in the making for years. Some of his strongest supporters have left and the knowledge drain will quickly become apparent, even to newbies. I think he has said it himself, the site was just a business and nothing else. Well, if it was really all about the money, then I guess he will find out what the result will be when you treat people the way he has. Nothing gets your attention any faster than a sharp decline in your bottom line, plus the fact that he has now screwed over a large group of very vocal and well respected boater who are not afraid to speak their mind. Like they say---You made your bed--now sleep in it!!!!!

jfm 03-07-2010 06:05 PM

Sad, world by the balls with a great site with great people and an ego blows it. Don't get me wrong it isn't like the site will fold up. He will continue to get new people and some will stay but I know I have heard enough of how great he is to the boating community and the wealth of knowledge he has about Baja. At least my membership expired today.

I am sure this is all just a misunderstanding and he is going to offer all of you a lifetime memberships to come drink the kool aid again. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't TBM the only site that has an annual "Okay everybody I banned this year come on back and all is forgiven week" so enough of the talk about FLAKE not organizing any events he works on that one all year.

Yeah this is one sailor that is not going back. I could see if it was something I did that got me the boot, then I might realize that what got me the boot was wrong. But when he burned the bridge because I am friends with people that he just wants to pick a fight with. Nah he can take his site and shove it straight up his:Whatever:

never enuff 03-07-2010 06:45 PM

Not true---- Not true The last time that happened someone mentioned my name and his response was F him. And of course my "friends" over there stuck up for me.(you bet) No forgiveness for me. I almost had to go get counselling after that rejection.

Irishtornado 03-07-2010 06:52 PM

Yea don't think I'll get a WELCOME BACK Christmas Card this year either...And if I did I'd have to say RETURN TO SENDER!!!

Definately one Baja owner that will never wish he was on that site again...Hell all my friends are banned from there now...

Well the only reason he'll get new members is because we didn't spread the word enough of what kind of person is running that site...I'm guessing it won't take long for people to start talking about what is going on in this thread...

cpiefer06 03-07-2010 06:57 PM

Get this! I have not posted on any of this and have not been involved and am very uninformed of the situation and with all the scuttle butt going on I went to TBM to read out of curiosity only, not to get involved. And guess what happened as I was on page two of three and tried to go to three I was nolonger a member. I tried to log out and back in and now I can not!!?? What in the world is going on, one cant even read something just to read without getting booted??? I am expecting a refund as I am recently a new customer or I will have my credit card get the money back for me. That is just plain bull****.

HOSSMAN 03-07-2010 07:02 PM

Talk about a major control freak....he is borderline stalkerish now I think.....ummm nope, he crossed it.

jfm 03-07-2010 07:04 PM

So is anyone whose name is seem over here automatically dumped?

Ebay Ed 03-07-2010 07:06 PM

i was thinking about doing a charge back against him as well since he booted me for something that wasnt even written on his site if enough of us done that he would be screwed Blake since you read this just refund my money now and it will a lot less hassles for you down the raod as you know how paypal works since you use it Ed

Yep, and when they start talking in the general forums and get deleted, that is when the rest will figure it out. I have always been told the best way to advertise is by word of mouth. Man he f$)ked that one up! Good job Blake! Reach back and give yourself another pat on the back! It's a small world in the boating community.

Hmm this business could get real expensive for him now...:evilb:

cpiefer06 03-07-2010 07:09 PM

All I have ever done on either site is ask for information or opinions on boating issues like fixes and or good locations, harmless stuff and in return for reading a thread I get booted, I guess I have an opinion now. I do hope he reads this and makes it right as I will on my word never bring it up again but if not I will do what I need to make it right on my end.

violator 03-07-2010 07:10 PM

Well I am banned from tbm, but he still my friend on face book!!:coolcowboy::lolhit::angry-smiley-038:

indywhsle 03-07-2010 07:11 PM

I don't post much so for me it is just one less site to go to, but I have noticed more and more there is nothing there for me to learn for the most part. I do like helping the newbies out. Always like helping someone to learn from my mistakes. Looks like the BAJA section here will be getting more active and this is where I learn new stuff anyway. Thanks FLAKE.:violent-smiley-045:

Why go back? More to learn here. For the most part any questions you may have will be answered "correctly" here not there.

I love this one...Blake the Mr. I know everything ever about Baja and "you heard it on TBM first." The quote below is from Mr. KnowItAll talking to Jason Smith on 2/16/10 about the 40 OL deck on the 42 fountain hull. I remember reading this and seeing the pics a very long time ago here on OSO.

Jason's response...

These pictures have surfaced a few times in the past year so it is not "new" news.

I do find it funny that someone mentioned Fountain having to cut 2' out of the 42 Fountain hull to make it fit the 40 Baja deck. One look at the pictures shows how short the 42 Beak really is.

I think it is really a cool project & I hope the Fountain bottom knowledge makes it's way to the Baja brand. Even if it is not the same "Baja" we all know/knew.
