First rule of Internet: Don't take it personally. People do what they're going to do. Your participation is not even required.

Another interpretation of what you observed, at least equally valid, is that people don't directly answer your questions when they don't know the answers. In this case, since apparently nobody here lives in Hawaiian Acres, that would be quite a plausible reason.

Then they contribute something else than what you asked about? Relevant... irrelevant... totally random... whatever! So? Take what resonates for you, leave the rest. When in doubt, refer back to the First Rule. That's just the way it works.

It's because I disagree about having to set foot on the property before buying it you have wrote me off and everything I now ask is overshadowed by that fact no matter what it is.
Actually, there's more to it than that.

I also don't care about the minor things (to me) that some here perceive as HUGE THINGS!!!! frogs and albiza being those. I'm sorry if I don't tuck my tail between my legs and run when I hear about them. That bothers you, because you think I should be concerned, but you are not me lol...
So? If that's how you feel, don't let it bother you that it bothers others.

So please consider what was said to me, I didn't agree and now some are throwing a hissy, others are getting in on some mob mentality, others want to add snide and rude comments, and some are just being childish. I'd say I've been pretty mellow wallowing through all that crap.
Notice what happened when you started making personal comments about others.

Where's the "deface?" All I did was repeat what you said.

Here's my suggestion... treat the posters here with respect and appreciation if you wanted to be treated with respect in return.

It is small statements like that which lead some of us to get the impression that if we've offered up something in addition to the stated topic, that our posts will be regarded as "garbage". Here in the C-D Hawaii forum, it is often that certain themes/opinions are repeated or brought up, since many readers are new and so the information is fresh to them. Most of us do want to help.

Just saying.

ohhhhhh ok but this is completely acceptable, from post 7

But, wow, in only a day you've gone from having a question about a property, to making an offer on it, to having the offer accepted, all without ever seeing it... I'm not sure anything any of us post here is going to have that much influence on what you decide to do.

But hey, maybe you would be interested in some property down in Kalapana that's for sale cheap... and it's almost cool enough to walk on already !
You took the first stab at me and I've done nothing but defend myself, you imply I've made such a foolish decision I might as well buy flowing lava. That's the crap I call GARBAGE, not the advice that was given previously. I was cordial with you until you took the first stab, am I supposed to just lay down and appreciate that? I don't think so. Anyone reading this thread from start to finish will see I retaliated over and over again but I never insulted anyone over their beliefs, opinions or decisions up front. And I surely didn't try and deface you with information posted out of context, that was your role to fill. Shame on you.

Nahhh. I didn't stab you. I didn't insult you. I didn't call you names. I didn't even say you were foolish... maybe it was pure genius?.. but nobody will likely know that for sure for quite a while now.

What I did do was restate the obvious, that your actions seemed quite impetuous. It only took you 26 hours to move from "I'm looking for acreage" to "they've accepted my offer," without ever getting the information you were seeking here, and without actually visiting the property, either of which factors clearly could seriously impact whatever plans you might have for the future.

Strangest of all, to those of us with intimate knowledge of the area, is the mystery of why you would be in such a tumbling rush? Real estate sales in those parts are quite snoozy, with a majority of the available properties having been listed for years. Taking a little while longer to do real due diligence on a possible real estate purchase is prudent, and carries little risk compared to jumping like a monkey on hot lava. It's not like there is a bidding war going on out there.
