statement & question Statement: Im surprised ( but not really) that your post got deleted after all this is PBH and several of us have had posts delted and we are still trying to figure out why. I know it wasnt because it had anything to do with girlies.
Now if you would have just posted something that was Colombia related like maybe talk about walking around nude until you're 18 years old, now thats some real interesting Colombia related information.
Question: I have seen you post before about this apartment or condo that is rented out in Santa narta, in fact havent you brought it up on several occasions? Whats the story with that? You sound really pissed off, what happened to you there? spill your guts.

The moderators may be concerned that.... there may be some liability and that is why you are getting deleted. Why don't you wait until after your court hearing and tell us then. I don't think the mods would hit that delete button if there was a public record to discuss. I would feel uncomfortable myself providing a forum for an unresolved dispute like this....

Scotty, dude, you gotta give this delete thing up.....I have had my posts deleted, I 've been insulted unnecessarily three or four times in six months, you gotta roll with the punches man....

I am a bit surprised at the owners on this home and how well they have kept quiet over all this fuss. I would have spilled the beans on this character (lochdhu) a long time ago if I were them. The term a sheep in wolves clothing comes to mind. I cannot believe how some members here at PBH have bought in to his crybaby whining and complaining. I live in this facility and only come on this site on occasion but I do know the truth about all of this and they do have a legitimate reason for what they have done. The guy who rented the place is not as truthful as one would hope for. They may or may not end up having to pay the deposit back but what the tenant did was uncalled for......out of line.....inappropriate...and was a clear violation of the rules & regulations of our fine neighborhood we have here. There was quite a fuss and the police were almost called according to the home owners administration due to what was going on. Several & numerous complaints from almost all of the owners of our Residential Conjunto including myself. I refuse to buy in to his story and complaint of the owners and I commend them for keeping their trap shut, unlike this lochdhu guy. What an ass and hope we never see you in this part of town again as you are not welcome here anymore. Good riddance & go someplace else to do your photography. Pobrecitas las Chicas. You took advantage of them, our communtity, our orgulloso pais, and our city. How dirty you are to try and make money off of the poor people of our area. Please just stay away for the sake of all here in Santa Marta & Rodadero. Good luck the the owners of the aforementioned casa. The owners are very highly respected people that have our full support. And for the members that have bought into lochdhu's whiny attitude.......shame on you for taking sides while not getting the full story.

Well said BJ and this old man backs you up on your opinion. Same thing I heard but was not going to mention anything. I have a very close friend there that was saying the same thing. Too bad this site has to resort to this kind of brow-beating from disgruntled bullies about mistakes they make on there own accord. I'm too old too argue or fight nowadays though!

So lochdhu,

What happened with your lil contest with all the chicas? Did you followup with them? I am somewhat curious why you left a bunch of them hanging out on a limb wondering whatever was going to come of your (unsanctioned by the Alcaldia or the Mayors office Santa Marta BTW) "photo contest"?

Did you get the proper permits for this event? Some of the young woman went to the Alcaldia to find out what was up with you & your "event". They knew nothing of it although they (the Mayors office) would love to have a word with you about it next time you visit SM. Even periodistas need to get proper paperwork done before a shutter opens & closes. Tourist visa(?) & doing business?

Oh yeah, I will definitely "aviod" the folks you are talking about, whatever aviod means. LOL

Sorry, but Bufalo is right about you. Don't post and members won't crap on your posts. Otherwise expect it. One more thing & that is learn about spell check. It shows your ignorance when you don't

Well, I just stumbled across this thread again. Last night, there were posts by "arasari" in the thread listed above. Today, no more thread. I wonder if "arasari" is feverishly working on erasing any incriminating evidence. I took 5 minutes to check out threads on that wonderful site. That's all I could stomach. Very creepy. I also went to the medellinmansion site. If that Ausie Greg guy survives another year, I would be shocked. He is like a giant mecha on a tejo board. Before long, somebody is going to make 5 points.
I am not going to spend the time trying to find it, (the thread may have been deleted), but I remember confusing Lochdu's beef with the owners of the Santa Marta place with another PBH member's experience at a similar bed and breakfast. Lochdu jumped all over me, corrected me, and I admitted that I made a mistake and got the stories confused. I may have been mixed up then, but things are much clearer now. I would like to hear the owner's side of the story, or the real story without the vagueness by somebody here.

I'm the owner of said home. I not much on hanging out my dirty (or clean) laundry on the internet but I will say this. My (Colombiana) wife and I are respectful & honest folks. I appreciate the goods words of my neighbors & friends in SM. The Administrator and also as well the President of the Home Assn. brought this inappropriateness to my attn.

I have unjustly taken a (literary) beating by this guy. You only heard his side. Why? I'm a strong believer in karma. What goes around comes around. The stalking order was a legitimate thing and he failed to mention he WAS found to have violated the temp stalking order although the stalking law where I live in the states is NOT designed for this kind of situation. Civil case instead & THAT is why a permanent order was not imposed.

I could have pressed a misdemeanor charge but what good would that do? The DA office has more important things to do like arrest & convict child predators, scam artist and such. Even the US Attorneys Office & INTERPOL will chase them down.

I very rarely show my hand and it has gotten me a long way in this world. Generally that is a very good Colombian philosophy as well. I may have to come up with the $500.00 and I may not. But the cat is out of the bag now & as the above post say from my close(& sometimes powerful) friends he is not welcome around SM anymore. If so maybe he will end up at Alcaldia or even better yet in the arms of DAS.

See Ya Around

Weird. It's not like this site has too much worldwide reach anyway, so whining about this and that probably won't achieve much realistically speaking.

I believe in karma too. Ever since i found a 20$ bill that blew into my hands on a street in the Annex and I reluctantly gave it back to the woman whose purse I thought it blew out of (to ease my consciounce, when i was 16). The very next day, on the same street, a man ran up to me and gave me back the 20$ bill that I had somehow blown out of my pocket. Some call it karma, and what goes around, comes around.

I wonder how "he" or anyone else for that matter would scrutinize this law? Especially part (c). Maybe a US Attorney would be able to explain it a bit better.

18 U.S.C. §§ 2423(b):

(a) Transportation With Intent To Engage in Criminal Sexual
Activity. - A person who knowingly transports an individual who has
not attained the age of 18 years in interstate or foreign commerce,

Well I guess it's time to air 'Dirty Laundry" Tim pugh has twisted many things and statements surrounding the facts of this matter, I will be ordering transscripts and will be posting them online in the next couple of weeks. and I'll let you people decide who the lair is in this matter, as Tim contradicts himselfs many times.

I wanted to avoid Tim the Embarassment. but since Mr Tim Pugh wants to play the Mr Sweet and Innocent "Victim" I have certian knowledge of a very messy divorce with his ex involving certian orders placed on him. you wanna air dirty laundry? let's Rock and Roll buddy!

Oh yeah, I especially liked that "Black Stain" on the mattress touch, I could hardly control myself! and wanted to burst out in laughter when I heard that one. it's pretty sad that you have to resort to frabricating fake damages. I'll let you tell the story, since you seem to be a more accomplished liar.

As for the broken window latch, that was broken by the AC repairman who had to climb out the window to get to the a/c unit on the roof, your maid was present and witnessed this when it occured, but I am certian you probably swayed her testimony with threats of termination. poor maid, that she has to work for such an a$$hole boss.! Only in Colombia!

Oh yeah I got lots to say, and beleive me, I will be addressing everything in detial. including Tim's fabricating statements of the Judge who heard my no contact order in todays Small claims trial.

Mousepad

I am ordering a copy of the transcripts of our No contact order hearing, and will prove you a lair to every one here, In your post you made this Statement

Mousepad states "The stalking order was a legitimate thing and he failed to mention he WAS found to have violated the temp stalking order although the stalking law where I live in the states is NOT designed for this kind of situation. Civil case instead & THAT is why a permanent order was not imposed"

Be Honest Timbo. tsk tsk, caught you in a lie, and will prove it with transcripts.

What the Judge Said, I "May" have voilated the no contact order by posting a message on this site, those were HER EXACT WORDS, tsk tsk, shame on your for lying timmy.

The Judge also went on to State that in order to prove I made threats agiasnt you, 3 requirements must be met. Which you were unable to prove to her with my emails that you used as evidence which was the basis of your claim for filing in the first place.

The Judge Dismissed the no contact order on the grounds for "lack of preponderance of evidence"

Currently the small claims judge has this document, but will be returned to me shortly, once i get it back, I will scan it and post it here. which will prove Mousepads statements are false. in addition, I will order the transscripts of the hearing, and make them public.

If your gonna lie, please have the documents to back up your claim timmy.

Well, if you do would you please include the ALL threatening emails which sparked all of this off including how you would make it your life's mission to see to it that I never rent my place again. Just trying to protect my family like any good husband & father would do. I don't need to rent my place to financially survive. You have proven that you are a bully and were most likely the playground bully when you were a kid. I am sure that the members here (PBH) have figured you out by now. Why don't you just hang out at your other site(s).

Is somebody is having miserable & pathetic life? Why not get involved into some voluntary endeavor that is worthwhile for society. I do, and I am comfortable with my life. Look to the right of your comment box. The monkey says "be nice". An abnormal amount of your post here are inflammatory and confrontational. If you win the claim you win. If I loose I loose but I am a winner in my life.

Like I said in my earlier post I have much better things to do than hang out my personal laundry on the internet. I grew up a LONG time ago.

lochdhu says on Jul 13, 2007, 10:46:

Mousepad or Tim, Bill jones or Cichimbo, or what ever hanlde your going by

What sparked all this, is the simple fact you went outside the scope of our agreement in siezing the deposit and subjecting me to "liquid damages" which was not outlined in our agreement. and now 3 1/2 months later, you are making a claim that I did damage to your property? 3 1/2 months later? lord knows how many others you have rented it out to since then. or who rented prior to my arrival, and since I never inspected the other side of your "Black stianed" mattress upon my arrival. I am unable to prove it was pre-existing. next time I will know to check this.

I took good care of your property Tim, and you know it, I even went as far as Smoking my cigs outside of your residence and picking up my own cigarette butt, and never once smoked a cig in your home.

I would also like to take the time to address some of your other issues as well. as it seems there is a lot of confusion in our understanding.

First, you knew the main reason for my going to SM was for business. I asked you about doing photos poolside at the residence, and you told me to talk to the Admin, to get permission in exchange for a tip. seeing that this was too much hassle, I elected not to pursue doing any photos poolside with my models. nor were any photos produced poolside, but yet you claim I did??? Did you get the Admin to say that for a Tip???

Secondly you never instructed me to familairize myself with the rules and regulations of the Brisas Del Lago neighborhood as you claimed in court yesterday, nor did you provide me a copy of the rules and regulations. the only rules you provided me was in our rental agreement.

Thirdly, I felt I stayed within the rules and regulations as outlined in our agreement, by only having one guest over at a time. even if it meant I had several guests come by the residence during the day, by stagering appointments times to meet these ladies. in addition, when any of the women came by with a premio or amigo/a without my consent, I explained to them I am only allowed one guest at any given time, and were quickly sent away, often times in the same taxi they arrived in, other times the gals walked in with there friend, agian I explained to them i am only allowed one guest at a time and were turned away and asked to leave, and were escorted out of the facility by me. in doing so, this demonstrates that I had a willingness to comply and respect your rules. I bet the admin and security failed to document this fact.

Also, the Admin could have come talked to me and expressed his concerns, as I am not more than what? 100-150ft? is he that lazy? if there was concerns of illegal activity being conducted with minors, then why did they not act on it? which you seemed to be "fixated" on without any facts to prove this. I wold have welcomed the police to come check things out. as I have nothing to hide from them.

In addition, I did not get your email about these concerns until 4 days after the so called "concerns" but my question for you is, if this was such a great concern, how come you never called me? you provided me a used cell phone which worked quite nicely, and please don't claim you tried to call me, cause NONE of your emails mention you tried to call me.

You also refered to me use your neighbors Taxi service. this in itself effectively modifies our agreement in regards to "conducting business" since services were provided in exchange for cash. often times I would come and go several times a day, sometimes more. but yet there were no objections by the Admin or others. since you seem to make "unusally high traffic" an issue.
besides, that Taxi driver is not as respectable as you might think he is, you should've heard some of his requests and I'll leave it at that!

In regards to the so called "Threating emails", please by all means publish them, and and do not sanitize them like you did at the no contact hearing. you intentionally took them out of context.and attemped to manipulate my statements at threats, no where do my emails state that I would cause any type of physical harm to you. and I made it clear to you I would remedy this thru legal channels. agian be honest. cause I have the same documentation here that would prove otherwise.

I take what an "ex claims" with a grain of salt. I have an ex who is totally psycho. (lived together 5 years, but never married) I have heard some of the things she has told people - and I was more stunned than mad. I didn't know she was that creative, as well as delusional. I, like the owner of the hotel, believe in karma also. Locdhu, you are basically threatening mousepad with retaliation by airing dirty laundry. Ok, so you might know something about his personal past. You are going to expose him, because others (not him), exposed your mongering on international sex guide? I think that is pretty shitty, low, and shows what type of person you are. Mousepad didn't even bring any of this up, others did.

Not to worry, I'll be back in SM by years end, you can count on it, I will also be in Bogota and Manizales next month. as for making money off poor people, thats a good one, let's just single out lochdhu from all the corporations that make money from poor people such as the grocery stores, cell phone companies, utilities, restaurants, beer companies, ummm I believe it's called Capitalism bonehead. nothing new, its been around for centuries. get a clue.

I do think it's rather funny all these samarios all of a sudden appearing and creating accounts to rush to Mousepads side, ie bill jones, sanmario, cichimbo. I am led to believe mousepad created himself some imaginary friends for support. nice try mousepad. I'm not buying into it.

Sanmario/Mousepad or what ever name your chose to go by today

I never said I was holding a contest. where do you get that Idea? nor did i publish it to be any type of "Event" so I don't need sanctioning by the Alcaldia, I am free to take all the photos I want of SM, and the people of SM, as long as I have the signed release forms. if one needed permits to take photos, then I suspect every tourist that visited SM would be subject to arrest or penalties. so let them come at me any way they want. I am here and I don't run from anything.

Mousepad writes

"he is not welcome around SM anymore. If so maybe he will end up at Alcaldia or even better yet in the arms of DAS"

I highly doubt it MP, in fact if DAS wants to meet me they will get there chance next month, as I will be in Bogota and Manizales. would you like my flight# and arrival date to put this to the test?

however DIAN might want there taxes from running a rental in Colombia, your not the only one with friends, the lawyer who crafted my release forms works for the DIAN. so your rental business is of great interest to them.

"is somebody is having miserable & pathetic life? Why not get involved into some voluntary endeavor that is worthwhile for society"

Is this how you Judge people based on weather or not they donate to volunteer programs? you haven't a clue what I do for society, just like I don't know what you do to give yourself some type of "self worth". but since you bring this up, I do a lot of volunteer work for many programs here, and donate hundreds of hours of my time to community programs and a lot of $$$ to certain charities, like you, I don't need to work. and can retire right now If I choose to do so.

Robert Jorge States

"I take what an "ex claims" with a grain of salt. I have an ex who is totally psycho. (lived together 5 years, but never married) I have heard some of the things she has told people - and I was more stunned than mad. I didn't know she was that creative, as well as delusional"

Then perhaps you know how I felt when dealing with MP. perhaps MP is psycho as well? and his claims should be treated as such, in a week or so when I get the transcripts, I will prove otherwise, he may have also committed perjury himself in front of the small claims judge as well. by making false statements of the No contact hearing judge, my point was simple, MP is not as innocent and sweet and respectable as he is claiming to be, since he seems more focused on character assault than the facts at hand. so he left me no choice but to show his character is also that of a bully. but at least my charge was dismissed for lack of evidence to support MP's claim.

and btw, I see a few posts and threads have been deleted, and just for the record, I didn't ask the mods or the owner to delete them.

I just know the owner didn't bring this stuff up. Others did. I happened to stumble across it. So, are you going to deny you are arasari on internationsexguide.com? Be careful - it is amazing what one can find out with a computer.

Well Just for the record, The Judge has rendered his decision in this matter. and has ruled in my favor in the amount of $500.00 plus court costs.

So this proves that Mr Pugh went outside the scope of our signed rental agreement by subjecting me to Liquid damages. when he had no right to do so. and that is the bottom line of this whole debate.

Tim Pugh States in an email dated March 31st, 2007.

"One of my many professions is a property manager so I know what my responsibilities and boundaries are, I will not be swayed by wanna-be experts of what I can and cannot do"

Tim, it would appear that you have been "swayed by a wanna-be expert" maybe you should pick a different profession that suits your exceptional story telling skills.

DodgerDogs,

Could you be a bit more specific about your comment about the lies of fame and income. I am curious if it is the same scam I am aware of and the one that was mentioned in this thread. Was it about the "Photo Contest"?
