"BAJ" was the alias used by Bailey Jones, who used to write the "Growing Up" column for Lake Martin Living. (You can find some of his stuff on the internet at www.savelakemartin.com/growingup.htm; the reason WHY he no longer writes for them is especially interesting.) He also used to post here quite a bit, up until a couple of years ago. I ran into him last year and asked him why he didn't post anymore; I don't remember his exact words, but they were something like "because anything that makes me feel bad about the lake can't be good."
He didn't say it was because of the abuse he used to take on the Forum, but that's why I would have quit posting here. Jim, in particular, seemed to make a point of responding to every BAJ post with a barnyard-level insult; often, he would make those insulting posts in posts that had nothing to do with BAJ, which is why you sometimes see me make note of his "obsession."
Just for fun, I went back and looked at some of those old posts; here are some links that you can check out, if you want to see what lakemartin.com was like in the "olden days." (Back then, Jim was posting as JIMBOB, JIMMY, JIMBO, and JIM, to name a few; as far as I know, he was always using some derivation of "JIM.")
