Default baygo’s out

Time is most valuable and there just doesn’t seem to be enough of it.

Over the past decade plus I have designated a significant amount of well spent time to winnipesaukee.com. In return I have gained a vast amount of knowledge as well as “in a pinch” solutions.

As life moves on I have along the way found comfort in a number of online communities and social media networks. Participation in each requires commitment to follow-up conversation. Time.

I did not want to fall of the face of the Earth, leaving all who enjoy my posts to wonder where I went. It is with a very heavy heart that I announce this is my last post in this forum.

While this news may come as relief to some, to those who find a moment of curiosity as to what I am up to, I will maintain user name baygo on truth social.

Cheers

I think exposure on this forum has always benefited Tavern 27 and your distillery and I don't think you leaving the forum is a "relief" to anyone. I've been to your restaurant and we had a friendly conversation. It's hard to imagine that me just asking you to "tone down" a thread a little would cause you to give up all the exposure and online relationships but apparently that is what happened.

Seems to me Baygo is over-reacting.

The written rule: "Advertisements of any kind are not allowed."

Clearly Baygo was advertising his vodka; to even try to claim otherwise is disingenuous.

Why Baygo interpreted this as some form of threat is inexplicable.

Oh well.

I'll miss baygo, his posts have been very good. But his timing after a gentle and reasonable nudge seems churlish. Our webmaster deserves better.

Agreed, especially since the posts continued after members pointed out they were getting out of hand. Talk about "taking my (Dancing Rabbit Vodka) and going home!"

Seriously, though, nobody wants to see forum members leave like that. Can we talk about the Truth Social thing, though?!

I think the Webmaster allowed more than he usually does in this case. In fact, I think most of baygo's posts related either to his restaurant or the vodka. As I said I have nothing against him, I don't even know him, but I just think it's not usually allowed. I have had posts deleted for being off topic when I don't think they were. And i have posted off topic, just following along, not thinking about it, that have not been deleted. It's very hard to monitor a forum.
