Well, Kathy H, as one who has been greatful for your insights and often well-researched input, I have often felt a hint of condescension in your posts, perhaps because they tend to be a bit long and drawn out. Too quick on the draw. That can sort of rub some people. But we all bring our baggage in the door with us, and I am sorry to hear that you have decided to depart, however, I understand. Please feel free to log in again as a newbie. It should be interesting, or even fun, to travel with less baggage. I am sure that I have some sp.s but what the he'.
Aloha, Dan
P.S. I have always liked the name "Naked Surfer Girl"
note to add: this was the handle of a departed friend who used it on several poker sites.

I was not going to get involved in this topic, as it is the same rhetoric over and over again[  ]
Kathy, you have been with Punaweb for so long, you should know better than to fall for the crap that only a few keep dishing out. To the newer members especially Orchidlandguy, that keep responding to the snide remarks LET IT GO, all you are doing is adding fuel to the fire.
The other websites has totally different topics, among which Punaweb apparently is still important to them, so obviously the constant baiting and spitefulness will continue. They are not going to stop, but you can irritate the hell out of them by not responding. The ultimate success for them beside driving people away from this site would be to create so much friction with the current Punawebbers, that Rob will end up closing the site down, which would be a loss for us all.

Sorry to disagree.KathyH is hardly a fountain of knowledge.She is very good at using Google to get an answer quickly.
[lifting of content from another site removed by moderator]
The content that was removed was from Tripadvisor.com.In it she is trashing Kapoho and directing vacation renters to go to Kona instead.I have friends down here who get their entire income from their vacation rentals.KathyH is taking food out of their mouths.She has posted dozens of times trashing Kapoho out of the 16263 posts that she has there.

Pretty well stated although it has not been my impression that Kathy has always been benevolent. Regardless, I see no reason for her to leave. A truce would be nice.

It would also be nice if people could learn and bend a bit. If a persons behavior consistently offends, then why not do a self evaluation and try to figure out why. Also forgiveness is a good thing. If you feel wronged by someone or you're offended by something they said, sure get angry, but let it go fairly quickly. If you stay mad at me you will have to remind me every now and then as I tend to forget about it.

KathyH,
As a punaweb member who has NEVER trashed you or attacked you I hope you know I think the world of your opinions. I have ben honored to read what you think. Forget those older/origianl members who trash you both here and behind your back at the other sites. I for one love your stories and you really have helped me understand and see things differently. You are an eloquent writer.
I hope you re-consider and just tell those older critical punaweb members to take a hike.
Please come back.

Good God, the standards some people hold others too...
So as far as I can tell KathyH isn't perfect but is guilty of being articulate and educated with a willingness to share her opinion.
But she can't walk on water so lets snark her at any opportunity.
If she was actively campaigning against Kapoho om multiple websites I could see Obie's point but she posted unfavorable opinions on a travel site. And if her statements were wrong, simply refute them on that messageboard; its not a court of law or a Super Bowl ad saying "Stay away from Kapoho."
Kapoho is beautiful but has issues. I live in Waimea and wouldn't make the drive with other options on the island. If I was spending thousands coming from the mainland or elsewhere I would appreciate hearing about the downsides before I took my family snorkeling through human waste.

Obie, you have a friend that has a vacation rental in Kapoho, so that means nobody is allowed to say anything negative about Kapoho on any forum? Interesting perspective.

Totally agree with this one. STINKS in Kapaho tidepools and not just now. Through the years I have often smelled the stench of human waste there. There is a solution, but the folks in Kapaho won't do it...they would rather complain about everyone pooping in the bushes than put up a porta john. The place is lovely, but unhealthy. Why go swimming in foul water?
I guess if we wrote this on tripadvisor as long time residents we would get attacked here by the vacation rental owners in Kapaho also.
p.s. kapahokitty, I know how to spell kapoho (always have)
