If you go to Gonzaga Bay, Baja California, you'll see the richest of the rich fly in with their planes, change into ragged clothing, and be just the nicest, humblest people you'd ever hope to meet. Their vacation homes are basically just shacks. I had no idea of their wealth when we were all hanging out.

Re: My conversation with the seller
It wouldn't be fair to cut bits and pieces of our conversation here and try to pit the group against me. I love a good debate. That's why we are all here, right? After reading everything you emailed to me on Ebay, I find it hard to believe I am the one with a stress disorder. I like to think I have been very respectful to everyone who has participated in this thread.BaalTeshuva wrote:Here is the interaction I have had with this seller...

Dear inflatablegames,
As you seemed too incised to continue our conversation or apologize I am reporting this entire conversation to Ebay customer service... have a nice night and do try to relax

Dear inflatablegames,
At no point did I make a treat towards you or any one else... I simply stated that what your doing is contrary to the spirit of burning man. At no point did I threaten a government official... I simply stated that Karma is a bitch sometimes... That there is a natural ebb and flow to the good will in the universe... If you cant stand to hear that what your doing is bad karma then you shouldn't do it... And please let me repeat my ending statement Have a nice day... Try not to be too much of an A-hole while your at it.
However the statements you have made toward me are what I would call a threat... I would love to talk to one of many lawyers that I know, both friends and family and see what my legal options are... However I will gladly accept an apology before I decide to contact E-bay and let them know of your reproachable words...
Thank you and enjoy your night... Unless your panties are too bunched up, in which case I would suggest you take a chill pill in what ever form you my enjoy,be it chemical or natural, positive or negative... May I recommend a hot bath with some relaxing music and some candles... Well good night

Dear bebop.404,
Did you know you can do a year in jail for threatening a government official? Be careful on who you threaten. You have no idea who is on the other side of your threats. Better go read up on penal code 76(A).

Dear inflatablegames,
People like you are a threat to the great spirit that fills the playa with love and positive vibes.... Just wanted to say the karma's a bitch... I normally do not wish harm on others, but I'm sure that karma will bitch slap you for this one... I don't know how or when, but it will happen... Have a nice day while you can... Peace

BTW, you left out your last comment:
Dear inflatablegames,
I understand that you have issues with yourself esteem, just like any other, bully. I would recommend that you take my advice and take a nice hot bath with some relaxing music. the amount of anger your putting off cant be good for your blood pressure... Relax and reread what I said... I at no point stated that I would take any harmful action towards you. I simply stated that karma comes around... It could be as simple as bad luck... it could be ill health... we never know how our actions will affect us and those around us... We can only try to be the best we can be.., I would suggest that you try to spread more positivity and light rather then anger and hate... remember as Gandhi said "be the change you wish to see in the world" or something along those lines. Have a nice night unless your too worked up at this point...
try to relax...
however should you actually decide to take legal action I would have a solid case against you for threatening behavior, And if I'm not mistaken impersonating a government official is an actual crime... One that I'm sure at the least incurs some sort of fines...
well take care my friend and hope you can relax... you know that too much stress and anger increases the likelihood of a stroke or heart attack... you should take a stress test to make sure your in good health... take care and relax... and eat your cheerios, I hear that they are great a reducing cholesterol, another component in heart and stoke prevention, as is regular exercise, which has the added benefit of also reducing stress... Have you tried bike riding or running, they are both enjoyable forms of exercise
well good night

my socalled stress disorder
If I do indeed has some sort of stress disorder it is that I enjoy telling people what I think... I feel that expressing my opinion is more satisfying then violence or empty legal threats... especially with how broken the American legal system is... But you know what they say: you get what you pay for and the US Gov. is always after the cheapest and easiest fix to any problem, IE lowest bidder always get the contract, Especially if they bribe the right officials or politicians... That's why Monsanto was able to induce all of their horrible poisons into our food supply... I mean who in their right mind would trust the same people who made agent orange for Vietnam to make a food additive[/i]

Maybe once we all get out on the playa we can all share into a group hug. I hope that everyone going to enjoy BM will leave their work and their problems at the gate. Aren't we all freaks in one way or another?

Getting back to the diversity of BM participants;
I met a lovely couple camped with friends on the Esplanade in '98. Talked about physics, astronomy, cabbages & kings. We laughed for three days.
I camped with them for four years. Then someone clued me that my science buddy was the number 4 guy @ Pixar and had won a technical merit Academy Award. We still get together for martinis @ the burn.

OK, I know this is a dead horse but I'm going to beat it anyways. I saw this add weeks ago being discussed on a bm volunter e-mail forum and I just now saw and have been reading this thread on eplaya.
I have to say, what really irritates me here is sacramentogames' attitude. You are like a coprorate-BORG. You just assimilate everything people say on here to craft a better advertisement. Reading your posts is like watching a commercial for some alternate-reality corporate burningman. Its a soul-less practice of profiteering off the event with no concept whatsoever of the basic element of burning man, which for most people, is giving. Giving in some way. participarting whatever you want to call it the event runs on a deep spirit of giving. You parrot the words of "participate" etc but you are essentially about taking, taking, taking. Take knowledege, lingo, words (christ, you don't even know what fucking MOOP is...that speaks volumes about your experience or lack thereof at BM) from eplaya to craft a more luring advertisement. You take the shared resource of burning man as a means to make a private profit. Giving out 1,000 trinkets to comply with some concept of what giving should be is not really giving. Again its a robotic response from an obvious outsider. And it falls flat. Everything you endeavor will always be at best a soul-less facsimile because starts from a premise that misses the point because you obviously don't know shit about burning man other than what you've read in a pamphlet or on this website....
And I couldn't care less about the service being offered, quite frankly. There are always some lazy rich tourists showing up at BM with a fleet of RVs and all labor outsourced (and yes lazy is the word, not "too busy" or "can't be bothered.") I've seen it many times. They usually don't come back (anyone remember the Rubber Duck art-car? and the british billionaires that came with it?). Obviously people are offering this service. So be it. Who gives a shit.
But I have to say to come on to this messageboard and just take take take under the guise of "I'm listening to your concerns" is kind of sickening to me. Someone else called you out on it and obviously is picking up on the disingenuity of your comments.
I have to say, what really irritates me here is sacramentogames' attitude. You are like a coprorate-BORG. You just assimilate everything people say on here to craft a better advertisement. Reading your posts is like watching a commercial for some alternate-reality corporate burningman. Its a soul-less practice of profiteering off the event with no concept whatsoever of the basic element of burning man, which for most people, is giving. Giving in some way. participarting whatever you want to call it the event runs on a deep spirit of giving. You parrot the words of "participate" etc but you are essentially about taking, taking, taking. Take knowledege, lingo, words (christ, you don't even know what fucking MOOP is...that speaks volumes about your experience or lack thereof at BM) from eplaya to craft a more luring advertisement. You take the shared resource of burning man as a means to make a private profit. Giving out 1,000 trinkets to comply with some concept of what giving should be is not really giving. Again its a robotic response from an obvious outsider. And it falls flat. Everything you endeavor will always be at best a soul-less facsimile because starts from a premise that misses the point because you obviously don't know shit about burning man other than what you've read in a pamphlet or on this website....
And I couldn't care less about the service being offered, quite frankly. There are always some lazy rich tourists showing up at BM with a fleet of RVs and all labor outsourced (and yes lazy is the word, not "too busy" or "can't be bothered.") I've seen it many times.

His fifteen minutes are long over.
I'm pretty sure he has a deluded notion that if he keeps bumping the thread he'll get someone from here to bite.
I guess he's not quite the professional he makes himself out to be. Anyone with 15 years invested in any business will have made enough contacts/clients not to have to resort to eBay and message boards to pitch his scheme.
It's not insulting enough that he didn't bother to due dilligence and explore what he was getting in to personnaly but rather connived many of us to do his dirty work for him, now he insults us futher with his transparency.
Everything else aside, not knowing the culture, what might fly and what might not, what would make his service more desirable and really the very basics of the event is just bad business pure and simple. Why any thinking person would even remotely consider his offer at any price is beyond me, particularly when others have being doing it regualrly, have a track record and at least the smarts to keep it on the down low.
He and his offers have already gotten much more attention that they deserve if for nothing else for how little homework was done.
Godspeed on your trip to oblivion, Mr Inflatablegames.
Apologies for bumping the thread, it won't happen again.
