The all knowing all seeing fools

This is not the place to come if you want to find information about the Dominican Republic.

It is the place to come if you want to view or read opinions of the ex pats and a few Dominicans that live there, clouded over by the opinions of North Americans and a few Europeans who truly believe they know all.

This is a sort history of my Experiences of the “Parent Board, “DR1.com and its estranged wives, lifeinthedr.com/forum and drsol.com

First, I will try to give you a slight rundown of the actors; it is confusing at best, laughable at truth and very sad in reality.

These are people with nothing to do day in and out but to sit at a computer and tell you how great they are, how bad some others may be and what a wonderful place their part of the country is

You really need to view the media gallery on DR1.com to put a face to these people to get the true impact and ability to kill yourself laughing at their posts

Lest start with some of the principles;


Robert One of the proprietors of DR1. He believes in his soul that DR1 is the greatest thing since beer, can not ever be wrong about anything, especially Footbal, wrong and will Praise you one moment and gut you the next, whatever serves his purpose

He will regale you with his travels, how he established businesses on 6 continents, had lovers from 23 countries etc., in reality he is a dumpy
Little Englishman who couldn’t get laid until he went to the DR and paid.

Dolores The other owner of DR1, the money behind the game. She desperately believes herself to be a meteorologist, Intellect, economist, and the second coming of Coco Chanel

Hillbilly They say he is not Dominican but has lived in the DR longer than the DR has been a country, so what do you call him? As a rule he is helpful and knowledgeable, but dare challenge him on hi suggestions and you get chastised, rebuffed and thoroughly insulted

Rocky An owner of a somewhat dubious eatery in Sosua, depending on who is talking his place is either Four seasons or Somali fast food. He is the self appointed Police Chief of Sosua, the man of Law and Order and always ready to face down the evils that may harm the tourism or his townsfolk,. (Check the media gallery, Barney Fife quickly comes to mind)

Escott Formerly the buddy of Rocky, now his hated nemesis. He believes himself the Donald trump and Wolfgang Puck of the DR combined! He will thrill you with takes of money made, women conquered and dinners with the president, he also owns a Sosua eatery of questionable renown (Starting to get the picture?) Rocky claims people have received food poisoning at Escott's restaurant, Quixote’s

GWB Or Bushbaby as he likes to be known (Banana Leaf Papa to the sex tourist crowd). An aged Canadian that seems to border on pedophilia except for the equally aged lady he lives with; she who must be obeyed or “Ginny” They seem to make a living out of doing “favors” for newcomers then add a little “well if you are coming down, could you bring me” Harmless all in all, but very sanctimonious

Ginnie Other half of GWB, literally, though they live in same condo, they post and talk with each other online as if they hardly know one another. You know, one says it is raining and the other immediately pipes in with “Of course Ginnie Dear, you are correct” Not exactly their type of comment but you get the drift

AZB An Arab Chiropractor (What a shock, huh?) who apparently could not make it in the USA, He is in his 40’s or 50’s, paunchy and bald and loves to talk of his conquests of ‘University girls” The conquest of a University girl takes 20 dollars, nothing else needed

Miguel A stubby little mouth that never quits, tells you how he holds doors for ladies in one breath, how he knocked out Joe Louis with the other. He is good for entertainment value only, and be careful, when he starts writing it is pages upon pages of nothing, just read first and last sentence A person suffering from a serious inferiority complex

NALS A Dominican in Exile who believes he knows the answer to all of the world’s problems, as long as he can find them on the internet. Need I say more?

Chris Female version, a displaced (from several countries she is displaced) Afrikaner who has such a high opinion of herself no one need offer another, care to ask her? She claims to be in either the Satellite technology business or organic chocolate body lotions sales, you decide. Oh yes, she is also a certified Doctor of Meteorology and Master Electrician

Domicanscot Claims to be a “Correctional “officer in the USA with friends in high places. This “Correctional Officer” carries a gun and badge, so beware
Remember what Jimmy Cagney called Correctional Officers, Screws and Duds this guy apparently runs another website that caters to men posting about their conquests of Dominican hookers, what a man what a man

AnnaC A poor old Canadian who has seen better days, she controls the section about love connection in the DR, need I say more?

Chuckuindy Actually a breath of fresh air. A 60ish Gentleman that makes no secret that he goes to the DR to have sex with younger girls and pay of it, He harbors no illusions and his candid style earns him much hatred from many of the board. If nothing else, the mans says it like it is

Ken He has many posts but hasn’t been doing much in my tenure. He appears to be a decent retired man with his wife living in a condo near Sosua with his main concern being the rules and regulations of his condo association.
He also says he was once a boatman and offers much advice on sailing the Caribbean Think retired bean counter nervously trying to squeeze one more drop of prune juice out of that bottle

Mirador If you can figure him out good luck, he appears by his knowledge of times past and current events to be an aged intellectual that spent too much time partaking in the mood altering substances of the 60’s


DannyW One of those rare participants who use the board to gather information for living in the DR, does not become involved in controversy and generally asks questions but is quick to offer help only if he has actual knowledge

Rtejeda new to the system, very radical political agenda, not sure what it is but seems to run contrary to those on the forum intelligent enough to understand what he is saying

RickSnyder Retired US Military man, extremely anal and unable to think outside the box, takes him a half hour to day good evening

Laurapasinifan Has a girlfriend in DR, enjoys extreme sports and generally asked pointed questions until he was set upon by the dogs. Now he will sometimes act as the others, but generally appears to have a life outside of his computer


CamdenTom Real estate guy moving from USA to DR, doesn’t say much unless it is to attack other people? Lacks the courage to stand up to anyone, especially women. If confronted he will quickly try to say the other person is an imposter out “to get him,” (Like someone would want him?)


XR another Tom, runs a competing board after fighting on DR1.com He is described as a tattooed bejeweled Napoleon living in the woods someplace East of Cabarete

TCW
Twhiteehad As Tom’s go along, a seeming backstabbing loyalty flipping creature, follows the crowd he believes will most accept him, none do except in his very small capacity mind

Diego Owner and Administrator of lifeinthedr.com/forum. Uses the forum to primarily promote his latinaffiars.com pay for your wife site

HOWMAR Frustrated lawyer wannabe, actually a file clerk at Wal-Mart warehouse that dispenses reams of incorrect information in an “Authoritative” manner, real bullshit artist
