Popular Post sirineou Posted November 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2023 Is this an officially sanctioned POTY competition , or is it an insurgency? Either way I am good with it, but I have a limited supply of chopstick, and need to know whose arse I need to kiss more. I wish someone had told me about this thing, I would had been much nicer in the past couple of months, but I think I still have time to fake enough sincerity to get at least a honorable mention. Plus did I mentioned I might not have long to live ? (Rare tropical disease ) . Tiny Tim would so love to see his Dad win this thing before he goes to the great hunting ground in the Sky. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a history of trolling & baiting. @Goat Create a poll, if POTY is so important. Include option 'none of the above'. Without a POLL, this will only become 200+ pages, back and forth.

The management has decided that the POTY can proceed this year as a "by the members for the members" with no involvement or participation by staff. Please do not include any staff members in voting, Admin/Mods will ensure there is no skullduggery where possible. It also needs to be run in the Lounge to stop new sign-ups interfering. Best of luck with it. ...And may God have mercy on your souls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

save the frogs Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) There should be an overall best poster. But there should also be sub-categories. I would like to nominate a sub-category. Most Resilient Poster of The Year (MRP) The guy who can take the most insults and still not quit the forum. You can insult his political candidate and if the guy lives in Pattaya and you start a thread saying Pattaya sucks, the guy doesn't quit the forum. He just keeps coming back. He can lose 100 arguments, but he won't quit. Like honey badgers are really resilient. If a venomous snake bites them, they can sleep it off. They can withstand spears. Asean Now MRP. Resilient and fearless. Like a honey badger. Edited November 11, 2023 by save the frogs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful as his demise was soon after. The old boys who had slow internet and are plugging away in the 20,000's are bitter. David 48 was and is a good guy, IMO he was sincere in posting about "Farmer Girl" , His kids, (I think they were his), and life in the farm. Moderating was not then what it is today. He was IMO unfairly attacked as using his kids to gain popularity etc. I dont think such thing would be allowed now days. I think he was simply interesting talking about his life. But got insulted and left the forum. I think he is back in Australia to work. I have been fortunate to have spend close to 12 years in the US with my Thai wife consequently she is close to fluent in English and I can have a meaningful conversation with her , but unfortunately such is not the case of many expats living here.If one was to ask my what my biggest challenge in Thailand is, I would say the inability to communicate at a meaningful level. Even when I go to . lets say DoHome, I need to communicate what I want to my wife, and hope she understood , not being technically minded. Then she has to communicate her version of understanding to the people in the store .......... You can see where I am going with this. Very frustrating . At a gathering with other Thais I can communicate basic things (like a baby) but not complex thoughts. We are thinking people , we have ideas, concerns, dreams, humor (some of us LOL) and like people we would like to communicate these things with those around us, but we cant except at a very rudimentary level So that's where a forum like this comes in, but to properly function its purpose, there needs to be some understanding. First, not to take these thing seriously. Communications come at many levels and in many ways. Body and facial cues , voice inflection, context. All parts of communication not available in a forum such as this. So it is easy to get the wrong impression. I am not being Holier than thou, I am also often guilty of jumping to conclusions. So IMO allowances need to be made. No one , and I mean absolutely NO ONE, I have met online in Thailand, was as I imagined them to me. If I had only one thing to say in this forum it would be STOP TAKING EVERYTHING SO SERIOUSLY!! and above all , stop taking yourself so Seriously . Except of course if you agree with me. Seriously!! And Oh,, Good Morning! Edited November 11, 2023 by sirineou 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nick Carter icp Posted November 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2023 15 hours ago, save the frogs said: what's with the obsession over a long-gone poster who maybe was a thai girl? you guys can't find a thai girl to have a decent conversation with in real life ? On the other site , Yinn was just another poster to me . She wasn't a Thai Female and thus regarded as a potential sex partner or a possible replacement for the current girlfriend , it was just a poster who made interesting posts . Trouble arose when men who see every Thai female as a potential real life sex partner , even Thai females online are future potential one night stands or wife material , they got sexually aroused when a Thai Female posted and they also got sexually frustrated because they could nt have sex with her That sexual frustration lead to online abuse of Females who they couldn't have sex with 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
