[Gocamino] backpack45.com/camino2 link banned from AmericanPilgrims.com links

[Leslie Gilmour]

I don't often write here, but this is reason to.

 

I think that it is a good idea to have your link on their site, I have
started to split links on my site into commercial and non, mainly because
the list was getting too long.  Some people want a tour guide and everything
arranged for them on the Camino and I see nothing wrong with that.  There
are however Camino purest out there who never want to move from their path,
that is fine I have no problem with them - but please just let others be
also.

 

I went on the Camino thinking that pilgrims would be different from other
people - I did not find that the case.  The same type of person who annoyed
me at home annoyed me on the Camino - not their fault, mine.  So the result
for me was to practice more tolerance. 

 

Getting to and from the Camino is a commercial enterprise, it always has
been and will be - if you believe different have a read of Chaucer. 

 

There is a whole list of commercial links on their site - newspapers,
airlines, television; this is not about commercialism - I believe we hit the
Camino purest problem again - a little bit of tolerance can go a long way.

 

I own a site on the Camino - there are about 10,000 people visiting it every
month and I will put any Camino site there that I think will be useful to my
visitors.

 

If you have the choice to do the right thing or the kind thing - try kind...

 

All the best
