I also agree that some members definitely need an ousting for being nothing short of jack-asses.
It's about the losers here that thought he was some great person.
That rat is scamming some other ignorant group of Americans
Because you act like assholes and assume there is no law in Costa Rica.
You were all nothing but sheep, following him as a shepherd.
Obviously, we can agree that the Boyd experience is one none of us would like to repeat. However, the above five statements are personal attacks, i.e. name calling. It's the perfect example of the type of behavior that is not allowed on the forum.
I'm sure Chi_trekker could have easily made his point without insulting the people that were victimized by Boyd's actions. It's never productive to call someone names because they made a bad decision, and got taken advantage of by someone they trusted.
So, while acknowledging he was right about Boyd, and that he has a valid point for wanting to be cautious in the future, I am going to ask Chi_trekker to apologize for calling people names.
At the same time, I would like to thank everyone else who has shown restraint and not fired back with insults that would have degraded the thread further.
