Well said Mr G !

I have seen many of these comments over a period of time, but I haven't made a record of them, so am not going to provide any "links".

davidjtayler seems to agree with me. Perhaps I am not the only one who has noticed them?

i've seen one particularly vicious, emotional and completely unjustified attack on terry, by one high profile member. The offending posts were deleted of course.

hey grover,

ive just written a brilliant account of that incident but ive had to bin it.

the reason being we cant discuss moderation issues, but how pathetic was that incident , and the said person did not even get a holiday.

i got so much i can say about that, but im gagged once again.

anyway boys,

thanks for defending the good reverend but ive only had trouble with a few posters on this forum.

they dont worry me at all, as there only pond fodder and many other posters dont like them either, so in the grand scheme of this forum they are nothing.

i like most of the people on this forum but never pretend to like them all, as this is not natural and shows a weakness of personality.

at least with me im up front and the ones i dont get on with know exactly who they are.

but i got to tell you grover, ive made a heap of friends since ive been on this forum and my inbox is overflowing with invites for a nice drink.

so the few who dislike me are the losers arn't they.

cheers to all my mates on this forum.

the top reverend,

terence.

and a special hello to dave and MR G as there both nuggets of gold in a river some times contaminated with a few turds. :D

this is bedlam and im aloud to say that arnt i.

but then again that other poster called me a C--- in general forum and that was'nt a problem.

Well said, our Tel. BTW, you're also invited for a beer if you ever make it to HH. You'll need one after meeting the mutts. Guess we could try & find some katoeys if you want, as well...

miss rain,

you are a very special person on this forum, full of compassion for all us posters and i wish you the very best in your life.

you have had some shocking knocks and continue with a positive outlook.

you run a dog refuge, i love dogs and you are my # 1 person to visit on my next trip to los.

it will be my pleasure to meet you and see the brilliant work you do .

Aaaaawwww!! Ooops, I'm in trouble - hijack!! Sia jai, ka, gents!

Bedlam used to be a secret word elsewhere, but like many of the traditions the mystic has long passed. Everyone knows of it's existance now and of the qualification, because many before this post of mine have openly discussed it outside.

Maybe The Underground should be re-instated.

I don't know why it was ever taken off TV in the first place...

Yes, by all means, reinstate "The Underground" and retain the members that it had before. I very much liked it and miss it to this day. That was a place I looked forward to visiting whenever I signed onto TV.

Ok good, I am very happy for you.

i'd just like to put forward a view of the last few posts referring to the secret society, " the underground "

we have on one hand people complaining about clique's forming, backslapping going on and all the rest of it, saying how bedlam has been devalued.

we now have an alternative view from the " good old boys " saying bring back " the underground ".

now isnt this the same thinking that some people are complaining about, ( the forming of clique's ).

sounds like the masons to me complete with the secret hand shake, devoid of women and other non worthy creatures.

cant you all see how stupid this thread is.

let all posters get on with doing what they want to do, whether it be silly backslapping humour or not.

personally i could not give a toss whether " the underground " was reinstated and maybe it would be a good idea so certain members can gather with there own views and ideas.

but what interests me is, who would have the authority to admit and expel members into that clique and secret society, without being biased against certain people on this forum.

Hear, hear Terry, well said.

Cliques seem to be just fine, as long as the complainers are part of them.

Devoid of women ?

I had the impression that it was closed because there were too many women in the the threads.

cricky's dave,

i feel some of that backslapping childish humour coming on.

i would like to announce to all thai visa readers that the " parish of rambuttri " has increased the " katoey 5" to a very round and balanced " katoey 10."

the response to " DAVIDS " talented girlfriends has been overwelming and our good church has flowed out on to the soi, full to the brim with the true believers.

my good self has up'ed the quantities of wine served from a glass to a tower, and instead of alter bread all followers will recieve a large peace of pepperony pizza.

thank you very much

the extremely reverend,

" terence of rambuttri "

Hold on chaps, and chapesses, if we're going to ressurect "The Underground" can I be on the Northern Line?

That way I can get to Mornington Crescent.

That would only work is you were playing with the Open Season Wednesday Rules (Abridged 1983 Ed)

As it's currently Tuesday, you would get stuck at Fenchurch.

I would think if you want to discuss a post I made elsewhere, that would be the place to have that discussion.

Failing that, a link to the post so it could be read in entirety would be a reasonable option.

To selectively quote it, and then ask for opinions is a little beyond the pale.

Without prejudise (sic) to the original author

I wasn't going to do this but since Terry's copping a heap of it, I got caught up in a private feud and this is what I'm talking about..

Croc as a Perth Boy myself look forward to buying you a Beer when you get to Fruckit sorry Phuket..

Thank god you've got a sense of humour, its true we need a few people who don't take themselves so seriously..

Donna tells me your a top guy and that's good enough for me..

How did you know I work with a French man ???

I made this post without prejudice

This was the response

Little Black duck

You've no idea how excited I am to meet your second hand approval!

The lovely Donna is a special person and I like her very much, but I don't need references from her to fit in to your auspices.

I would look forward to making up my own mind as to your personality in a face to face meeting over a beer, but don't think of you as some one from whom I need patronage.

Equally, I would endeavour to remain unbiased about you despite the company you keep.

It bewildered me So I sent a pm to you sir and was informed it was because I was a friend of Terry you assumed I was having a cheap shot..Guilty by association.. But you sir are squeaky clean and holier than thou..

And the Old Guard sanction this kind of behaviour..

Ha ha ! Sounds like a barrel of laughs in the 'old days' eh LBD ....?

Must have been a fantastic atmosphere with responses like that above ... very warm and welcoming ... bring out yer dead ... bring out yer dead !

No worries tho ... what will be will be and I'll for sure be seeing Terence for a few beers yet again in the Rambuttri parish when he returns in May and looks like will be having a few beers with some 'newbies' and an 'oldy' tomorrow night here in Bangers.

In fact, now I think of it, I will make sure that we raise our glasses to bedlam ... cheers !

Terry, I challenge you to find one post I made in which I complained about the forming of cliques. If people want to form a clique then by all means, go ahead. That doesn't bother me in the least. What I did in fact complain about was that too many threads are being hijacked and turned into a circus. It just so happens that there is a specific group of people that do this. If that group wants to be a clique and start their own threads about nonsense then that's perfectly fine with me. Most people wind up being part of a clique one way or another. I think I am part of a clique here on TV as well made up of the people that used to frequent the online TV chat. It's no big deal. I don't hold it against anyone for being part of a clique. I treat every new TV member with respect until they give me a reason not to.

Interesting attack LBD.

Because I, I think reasonably, questioned Terry57 opening a new thread by selectively quoting a post of mine placed elsewhere, you've decided I'm attacking your guru. My subsequent posts on this thread have not mentioned Terry57 again, but instead have just clarified my thoughts on thread hijackers and where I think humour is appropriate.

You, in some sort of hissy fit of hatred towards me have now seen fit to reprint some old threads where I took exception to your patronising attitude. You have chosen not to repeat the first post between us where you called me a gecko not a croc. However, neither reason nor fairness is a hallmark of your contacts with me. I have chosen to largely ignore you since then, apart from an attempt to smooth the waters when it became clear we spent time in the same surf club many years ago.

I could also print here some of the crap you sent to me in several PMs, but , unlike you, I am aware that PM stands for Private Mail and I would not breach the confidentiality of them as you have.

I wish you luck on your return to Australia to qualify for the aged pension so you can live off the taxpayers (after not contributing for many years) in your dotage.

I could also point out Mr Duck, that I recently felt compelled to press the report button on you (the first time I've ever done so) on the Bojangles thread.

I posted a link to the Bojangles song (with no accompanying comments) as I thought people might enjoy listening to it, and you, mystifyingly, greeted my link with a stream of personal abuse. You also made a veiled threat to catch up with me in Perth.

I am still in the dark as to what brought on the attack, but haven't responded until now.

The posts were removed from the thread by mods.

thats a fair enough comment,

my post was not aimed at you personally, but the subject matter at hand.

that being the forming of cliques , you possibly being in one as my self could possibly be in one.

sorry for the misunderstanding but the lines are becoming blurred.

i raised this thread to out line just how silly the subject matter is.

i mean, if one goes to the pub or any other place on this earth, one chooses who to associate with, if one has the choise.

its the same with the written word and an open forum like this.

people gravitate towards each other through common thoughts and the vibe ones post give out.

groups of posters form a common bond excluding certain posters.

take me for example,

some people like me and some dislike me. there's been a few posters who have jumped into defend me as they feel i had a few knocks.

i dont really see it that way, as i get more good replys than bad by far.

but none of the comments against me mean a thing to me, as ive got a heap of people that want to have a nice drink with me, so in the grand scheme of things my few detractors only amuse me.

its only a public forum anyway so its only a giggle.

thank you very much.

although I find backslapping childish humor posts entertaining, i also find over-serious, parental 'bossy boots' hissy fit bitch fights entertaining too. good to see we got some posters to "balance" things out.

Good show, Grover!
