See? There you go again, on about something that exists only in your head. Off the mark about what? About the personal boundaries I set when it comes to dealing with bad actors online? You were rude to me with no reason. Period. You "read between the lines," apparently, and came up with gibberish created in the echoing chambers of your own head, not anything that came from me. Then, I drew a line in the sand that declares I don't have to tolerate toxicity or drama in my life online or off, and again, you insert yourself directly into the middle of that blabbering on about knowing what I claim to know. Huh? I'm pretty sure that I know what I know, especially about my own life on my own farm in Costa Rica.

Like I said, it's crystal clear why you failed in Costa Rica. It's crystal clear why everybody tried to scam you or sucker you or steal from you or whatever they did. Makes perfect sense. You opened your mouth and within five words they all knew exactly who you were. Same as here. Except, the difference is that most Ticos are not confrontational like I am. They can get seriously passive aggressive when somebody rubs them the wrong way. They'll never challenge you to your face. They'll smile and carry on like you're their best friend, until they seize that one moment to get the best of you.

That is simply part of the culture. And you couldn't hack it. You came here to their country, acted like your typical arrogant self from the Great White North (which is how you're acting right now) and made yourself a target. Then you cry and complain about how terrible the whole experience was and feel personally insulted when someone says those same things aren't happening to them. You were here what... a year? I'm not going to bother going back through all those comments to see if that's right but I think I read that somewhere. Just one year, and you ran home crying with your tail between your legs, criticizing the whole country because YOU couldn't adapt. I've been here four years and yes, I've seen the stuff you're talking about. But because of my personal choices and how I approach things, I don't get the same results here that you did. Face it, home boy--you weren't cut out for this life. But some of us are, and when we share our experiences publicly, you have no right and no reason to assume you were being targeted by the conversation. Furthermore--as you can clearly see by now--if I intend to throw some shade on somebody, I'll do it flat out. I don't have to imply anything, and you certainly won't have to "read between the lines."
