  • LIJohn... the issue is not entirely what you were asking about, but how you asked it. Your approach was tantamount to barging into a crowded party and shouting, "MY NAME IS JOHN! I LIKE BEER! WHERE'S THE KEG???"

    It has less to do with surfing and more to do with message board etiquette (which, in a strange way, aren't all that different.) I mean... check the post counts - these guys have been around these parts a while.

    If you choose to stick around, great - welcome to the community. Give it some time before you post your next topic. Do a search or two and see if the info has already been posted. Reply to a couple of them if they fit your inquiry.

    In essence, your demeanor is more fitting of the "young generation today" then I think you realize. You first topic post was the equivalent of paddling to the peak on your first day out, knowwhatI'msayin'?
    Tummee -  I hear what you are saying. I did a search and found nothing. 

    Really?  You must not have looked very hard, because in about thirty seconds with teh google machines, I found this very informative page with a map and photos and swell direction info and water temp info and tide info and other stuff that you might find useful.  Also, if you click around on that website, which I found after about thirty seconds wif teh googles, you'll find similar information about other nearby breaks. 
     
    p.s. I hope some Straightoff Adolph newbie drops in on you and dings your board.

    Dude, I found this page in 10 seconds. Ha, faster than you. BUT if you read my post, I was looking for actual paddle out areas. This link doesn't tell you were, just info on the area. STRAIGHTOFF? What, you'll be in the water?  ::)

    paddle out areas?  it's a beachbreak!  again like i said--take a walk on the beach--observe--surf.  the end.
     
     ::) ::) ::)
    Dude please! Are you serious! You know what I am asking... What stretch of blocks allows surfing, beaches and what does not?? Forget it. I should have figured highschool musical runs the show here.

    OK - now you're really starting to piss me off.
     
    "High School Musical" does not run the show here. I run the show. It's my website and I run it with a team moderators that have an uncountable amount of water time between them and as a group have forgotten more about surfing than you and I put together will ever know, Jackass. Nevermind the guy who actually answered your question, who knows as much as anyone, anywhere - and the hundreds of other solid citizens of the surf community that visit and contribute here every single day.
     
    Would you PLEASE read the first response to your post, the one from onefin?? And when you do, please point out to me how it wasnt a dead-on exact answer to your question adn then some, and exactly what you found offensive?
     
    And before you go insulting me, the moderators and the site again, take a couple of goddam moments to wise up a bit and do some research, and be grateful anyone answered your question at ALL. I'd LOVE to see you roll up to just about any decent surf break in the world and say to the locals there, "Hey, anyone want to hold my hand and tell me everything you know about the place?" and see how well it goes over....it would be quite a sight.
     
    You asked a very specific question about a relatively exclusive spot that a LOT of people would prefer not be talked about publicly for fear of inducing even more crowding - yet your question was answered very VERY completely and quickly, and you werent called out for poor etiquette for even asking publicly.
     
    Here's a suggestion: Instead of criticizing the site, the way it's run, and the people who answered your question, how about CONTRIBUTING something before you ask for a handout, Jackass. You may be 39 years old, but if you ask me, the one who's acting like a spoiled-little-brat-asking-for-a-handout-and-getting-his-panties-in-a-bunch-cause he didnt-like-the-tone-of-the-answer-high school kid is YOU.

    You may not realize it dude but to get the most optimistic, easy going person I have EVER met to the this point takes a lot.  BTW he is 100% spot on.

    Um, DON'T CARE SEAGULL, CLIFF, WEED, SCUM, FOAM, Or whatever your silly little cliche' name is. Why not call yourself wingnut? Or better yet, D!CKHEAD! That suits you best. Your site is one of many, D!CKHEAD, or should I call you Mr. Head, or Mr. Dick? and I'm sure after I tear you a new one here you will do what all other "ADMIN's" do and that is ban me. Of course, DON'T CARE. UM, NOPE! You don't know me, I don't know you and don't care to. I asked a simple question about a single area on L.I. and waahh laahh, the first TWO replies I get start with; "... joke!" bla bla bla... I have 3,000,000 posts so I'm cooler than you..."
    So, if you can't figure out why I got my pants in a bunch as you so eloquantly put it, then you need to get the water out of your ears because it is corroding what's left of your brain. As I suspected, this is a locals-only kook-joke of a site and you prove that by stating what you say about crowding. I guess this is good bye, and yes, it is HS musical here, except the only girls on here are you and your ONEFIN buttbuddies. Have a nice time dude with your LAIDBACK site... hahahahahahahahahaa!!!  :o 8) :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-* ;D :D ;) >:( :( :o 8) :P :-[ :-X :-\

    BTW, to answer your question, the spots I've been to I've traveled with others who've met up with locals that were nothing but cool, knowledgeable, and shared everything they know about their prized spots. So, yes, I have ASKED about the surf. AND LIKE I SAID, IT IS YOU AND YOUR SILLY FAG MEMBERS with the attitude.

    BTW, to answer your question, the spots I've been to I've traveled with others who've met up with locals that were nothing but cool, knowledgeable, and shared everything they know about their prized spots. So, yes, I have ASKED about the surf. AND LIKE I SAID, IT IS YOU AND YOUR SILLY FAG MEMBERS with the attitude.
    jackoffs.

    Wow - I'm impressed - 39 years old? Yeah, you definitely act it. And no, you STILL didnt answer my question, but I didnt expect you to, and I'm not surprised.

    The way you refer to site admins, it sounds like you have experience and have gotten yourself banned from other sites -- which based on your childish retorts and ability to feel slighted when in fact help is being offered, really comes as no surprise.

    As for banning you from this one? No need to ban you, you've already made a big enough fool of yourself and I'd have to think that at this point, if you're any kind of man, you'll click off the site and try to walk away quietly with whatever little bit is left of your dignity.

  • LIJohn... the issue is not entirely what you were asking about, but how you asked it. Your approach was tantamount to barging into a crowded party and shouting, "MY NAME IS JOHN! I LIKE BEER! WHERE'S THE KEG???"

    It has less to do with surfing and more to do with message board etiquette (which, in a strange way, aren't all that different.) I mean... check the post counts - these guys have been around these parts a while.

    If you choose to stick around, great - welcome to the community. Give it some time before you post your next topic. Do a search or two and see if the info has already been posted. Reply to a couple of them if they fit your inquiry.

    In essence, your demeanor is more fitting of the "young generation today" then I think you realize. You first topic post was the equivalent of paddling to the peak on your first day out, knowwhatI'msayin'?
    Tummee -  I hear what you are saying. I did a search and found nothing. 

    Really?  You must not have looked very hard, because in about thirty seconds with teh google machines, I found this very informative page with a map and photos and swell direction info and water temp info and tide info and other stuff that you might find useful.  Also, if you click around on that website, which I found after about thirty seconds wif teh googles, you'll find similar information about other nearby breaks. 
     
    p.s. I hope some Straightoff Adolph newbie drops in on you and dings your board.   
     
    [url=http://www.wannasurf.com/spot/North_America/USA/North_East/Long_Island_NY/lido/index.html]http://www.wannasurf.com/spot/North_America/USA/North_East/Long_Island_NY/lido/index.html[/][/][/][/][/][/url]
    Dude, I found this page in 10 seconds. Ha, faster than you. BUT if you read my post, I was looking for actual paddle out areas. This link doesn't tell you were, just info on the area. STRAIGHTOFF? What, you'll be in the water?  ::)

    paddle out areas?  it's a beachbreak!  again like i said--take a walk on the beach--observe--surf.  the end.
     
     ::) ::) ::)
    Dude please! Are you serious! You know what I am asking... What stretch of blocks allows surfing, beaches and what does not?? Forget it. I should have figured highschool musical runs the show here.

    OK - now you're really starting to piss me off.
     
    "High School Musical" does not run the show here. I run the show. It's my website and I run it with a team moderators that have an uncountable amount of water time between them and as a group have forgotten more about surfing than you and I put together will ever know, Jackass. Nevermind the guy who actually answered your question, who knows as much as anyone, anywhere - and the hundreds of other solid citizens of the surf community that visit and contribute here every single day.
     
    Would you PLEASE read the first response to your post, the one from onefin?? And when you do, please point out to me how it wasnt a dead-on exact answer to your question adn then some, and exactly what you found offensive?
     
    And before you go insulting me, the moderators and the site again, take a couple of goddam moments to wise up a bit and do some research, and be grateful anyone answered your question at ALL. I'd LOVE to see you roll up to just about any decent surf break in the world and say to the locals there, "Hey, anyone want to hold my hand and tell me everything you know about the place?" and see how well it goes over....it would be quite a sight.
     
    You asked a very specific question about a relatively exclusive spot that a LOT of people would prefer not be talked about publicly for fear of inducing even more crowding - yet your question was answered very VERY completely and quickly, and you werent called out for poor etiquette for even asking publicly.
     
    Here's a suggestion: Instead of criticizing the site, the way it's run, and the people who answered your question, how about CONTRIBUTING something before you ask for a handout, Jackass. You may be 39 years old, but if you ask me, the one who's acting like a spoiled-little-brat-asking-for-a-handout-and-getting-his-panties-in-a-bunch-cause he didnt-like-the-tone-of-the-answer-high school kid is YOU.

    WOW!! Go SeaCliff.
     
    You may not realize it dude but to get the most optimistic, easy going person I have EVER met to the this point takes a lot.  BTW he is 100% spot on.

    Um, DON'T CARE SEAGULL, CLIFF, WEED, SCUM, FOAM, Or whatever your silly little cliche' name is. Why not call yourself wingnut? Or better yet, D!CKHEAD! That suits you best. Your site is one of many, D!CKHEAD, or should I call you Mr. Head, or Mr. Dick? and I'm sure after I tear you a new one here you will do what all other "ADMIN's" do and that is ban me. Of course, DON'T CARE. UM, NOPE! You don't know me, I don't know you and don't care to. I asked a simple question about a single area on L.I. and waahh laahh, the first TWO replies I get start with; "... joke!" bla bla bla... I have 3,000,000 posts so I'm cooler than you..."
    So, if you can't figure out why I got my pants in a bunch as you so eloquantly put it, then you need to get the water out of your ears because it is corroding what's left of your brain. As I suspected, this is a locals-only kook-joke of a site and you prove that by stating what you say about crowding. I guess this is good bye, and yes, it is HS musical here, except the only girls on here are you and your ONEFIN buttbuddies. Have a nice time dude with your LAIDBACK site... hahahahahahahahahaa!!!  :o 8) :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-* ;D :D ;) :( " src="[url=http://smileys/default/angry.gif]http://smileys/default/angry.gif[/url]"> :( :o 8) :P :-[ :-X :-

    I answered your question, pal. Of course, like many on here you read what you want to read. Attitude abound. More of a man you will ever will be. See ya seash!t, and f-off.. >:( :o ::)

  • John - know your audience before throwing around insults.  You get more flies with honey, and onefin sure did give you a lot of honey.

    I hear you NJ. I know what your saying and believe me I am besides myself too on this. Almost embarrased about it. But look at from my point of view... I came on to ask a question regarding Lido surfing and what I got, AS A NEWBIE none the less to the site, was put downs to start off. Now believe me I am thicker skinned than that and I don't need to be spoon fed, but what happened to a reply like; "Hey, welcome man!" Then: "This area is crowded and the locals are particular with giving out the info to someone they don't know..." I WOULD HAVE RESPECTED that, man! You're from NJ, I surfed all over that state and so youm and I know what localism is like. But damn man, what's wrong with a little friendliness towards a new guy? It's not like I wanna bonk their sisters or whatever...  :-\ ::) ???

  • So, you "have thick skin" but onefin prefacing his post with "please tell me this isnt a joke" freaked you out so bad you don't notice he supplied useful information? So you end up calling a whole GROUP of people you don't know all kinds of names and not endearing yourself to anyone. For someone who is older, you surprise me. I don't get you at all. A little patience, subtlety and showing up for events and you could have been hanging with people {you have assumed are all "fags, scumbags, etc...."} that are pretty fine humans and getting all the inside info you want. Awesome, call Seacliff {who has done more to give back to the surf community than anyone I know} a bunch of childish names. It won't surprise me to see you hanging at his place sometime in the future if you were man enough to apologise to him, since that's the kind of guy HE is and generally speaking, the kind of people we are here. So people get hot when you cross boundaries you don't seem to know are there, how you handle that will get you where you choose to go. Good Luck.
    It's no better to be safe than sorry....
