This is a perfect example of the people who are making this site SUCK! I have a brilliant idea. How about YOU Mr. or Ms. Fake Name starting your own board by yourself and Maui Heidi can come back here and discuss travel with us. I think its great to get free advice from a knowledgeable travel agent. You must be a travel agent yourself and feel threatened or want to be the only one, I can't figure out your motivation to care! Someone here needs to GET A LIFE and its not me or Heidi!! Leave your keyboard, you travel forum heckler and venture out into the big world! But be careful because if you are as rude as you are on Fodors, you MIGHT get your ass kicked! p.s. I think I'll do a search for....Maui Heidi!

to the top wit ya!

Well Well Well <BR> <BR>I guess our local girl Maui Heidi <BR>is still on this board even with out <BR>typing a letter. I will have to e-mail <BR>her and let her know you all are keeping <BR>her alive and well. I am sure she will <BR>get a kick out of all this. <BR> <BR>JDP

Glad to see the old girl has you people <BR>all in a tizzy. I have know Heidi from <BR>way back in the days she used to work <BR>in Scottsdale AZ. She has always been <BR>a go getter and it looks like she still <BR>is. Good for her. <BR>Guess I will drop her a line a let her know I am still around too. <BR> <BR>catlover in AZ

Now Heidi-Quit being a bad girl and take your medication so all of your personalities (JDP, Catlover, Suncloud) and the rest will away! By the way, do your keepers at the looney bin know you have been on-line again? You better not let them find out, you know what happened last time! You bad girl!

sounds like there are some people out <BR>and about that are envious of all the <BR>attention someone is getting that <BR>does not even post here anymore. <BR>I for one wish I know who this <BR>"MauiHeidi" person was, she sure has <BR>a strange following. <BR>

I can't believe that one person has <BR>caused so much talk, who the hell is <BR>she and why do so many of you care? <BR> <BR>Just interested

I follow Heidi's postings on About.com <BR>and IVillage.com and on Frommers. <BR>I live on Oahu and last weekend flew over to Maui to visit family. We had to stop and get some groceries at The Safeway located in The Lahaina Cannery Mall. I remembered that is where she said she works,the agency she works at is in the mall, so I went by the place she works and said HI! She is a very nice person and just wants to help people to enjoy Maui and Hawaii. I am surprised that you all seem to hate her so much for that, I just do not understand. I thought this place was for help and information. <BR> <BR>HawaiiGirl <BR>

Nice try Heidi, oops, Hawaii Girl. Go back to booking cruises now. <BR> <BR>The only defense ever offered about Heidi's commercialism here was that "she's a nice person" or "she really wants to help you." People who profit by offering "recommendations" are not out to help anyone except themeselves - financially.

I am not Heidi, I live on Oahu and attend The University Of Hawaii. My family lives on Maui. I feel you are the one with the problem. You and others like you always say that anyone that enjoy's or enjoyed what Heidi did or does is Heidi. You are wrong we just enjoyed the service she gave and wish <BR>she could still be providing it. <BR> <BR>HawaiiGirl <BR>From Oahu

Correct Hawaii Girl. "Letherdare" is the one with the problem. Something about travel agents sends her over the edge, as do kids who use foul language on the boards. I've RX'd kayaking or biking as a means of letting off steam and breaking her Fodors addiction, but she refuses to take her medicine. She thinks I'm joking. I'm not.

Aloha and Mahalo for reply. <BR> <BR>I just wish everyone could be made welcome here. Travelers looking for help <BR>and advice and those with the help and advice to give even if that person is a travel agent. <BR> <BR>HawaiiGirl

Just let me say this, I have used travel <BR>agents in the past. I will say I have <BR>had a few bad ones but a good travel <BR>agent is worth there weight in gold, and <BR>since I have found my Amy here in Redding I would not trade her for <BR>anything. She has saved me time and money and I feel that is all Heidi ever wanted to do for the people here. <BR> <BR>A person that is grateful to have found a good one. <BR> <BR>Rdg_21

I totaly agree with you, as with every <BR>profession, Lawers,Doctors, and such there are good ones and bad ones. The <BR>trick is to find the one you can trust <BR>and will do a good job for you. I too <BR>went through several travel agents before finding the one I have now, She is super and has found me deals and has saved me so much stress I would not trade her for the world. I get the feeling that Heidi is just such a travel agent so why is she not here to help the people who want her around. <BR> <BR>Wanda in Arizona

To the author, <BR> <BR>I have looked all over this Hawaii thread and not seen any posts by this <BR>"Maui Heidi" I just wonder if you dislike her as much as it seems you do <BR>why did you let everyone know where she <BR>could be found ? Just a simple observation. <BR> <BR>Hope

Hope-First of all--Shame on you for bringing up this long dead thread!! Maui Heidi's post have been deleted because she was promoting her travel agency, against Fodor's policy! Now go back to work will ya!

I just found the information on Frommers <BR>travel board that MauiHeidi is giving out. As a senior living in Florida planning a trip to Maui for next May I for one found her advice to be very useful and you all should be ashamed of yourselves for the way you have treated her. I did not see any hidden agenda from her on the Frommers board, she says right up front that she is a travel agent so why is she not here helping the people on Fodors. <BR> <BR>Flagranny

Flagranny-Go back to Frommers you nitwit! And thanks for dragging up an old post!

Attn: GoAway <BR> <BR>All I asked is why can't MauiHeidi be asked back to help those who wish to have her help and you reply with the <BR>comment you did, it just seems to me to <BR>be a sign of a much deeper seeded problem. Have you ever thought about <BR>seeing a therapist to help you with <BR>this negative outlook you have, you just seem to be such a unhappy person <BR>always a negative comment nothing upbeat <BR>or positive. <BR> <BR>Take care and do change your attitude <BR>it might help you. <BR> <BR>Flagranny <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

Flagranny-Maui Heidi violated Fodor's rules repeatedly and they dealt with her. She caused a lot of problems on this board and she is not welcome back here. I agree with GoAway, why bring up this old thread? Is it because you are Heidi? Or are petitioning for her to come back? Whatever the case, most people here are sick of her and do not want her back. There are other boards such as Frommers for her to promote herself.
