Xiguacán Burned Down

I am truly sorry for your loss and nothing in my posts was directed at you.

I simply pointed out to Rob that palapa roofs are root cause of fires and they should be prohited. He started calling names, as his practice, and pointed out the palm fronds are a common roofing material for lower income folks. Everyone understands that cost is a factor and many times flammable materials are used simply because they are cheap. My point was to start with zoning/building codes in the commercial district. And the thread exploded from there.

As a general statement for this board, name calling does not accomplish anything. Shooting the messenger or other such attempted solutions are the stuff wars are made of.

I do sympathize with you and hope your rebuild will be as beautiful as the original.
