Thanks, I do try.   That's why I have such a massive fan club here!

PS.  For the "Confused" and those unable to understand, that was sarcasm.

Do we have a throw up emoji?

I’ve noticed that whenever bickering starts between a couple of site members, they often bring up one another’s post count as some sort of measure of credibility. This kind of petty nonsense reminds me of the Social Credit System in China, it’s like the inner workings of a dystopian future.

 

At the end of the day, post count measures only one thing: how many posts someone has made. That’s it. Turning it into a tool for comparison for anything other than that is ridiculous. In fact, all this post count measuring and one-upping is no better than a bunch of childish old men boasting about penis size.

So why do you bring it up if is irrelevant?

 

Personally, I seldom look at the numbers. But I think it sometimes funny when someone with a few hundred posts thinks he knows it all and for sure he knows it better than people with 10 thousands of posts.

I am obviously far from knowing everything, but living here since decades, and having lots of posts, means that often I have more experience than the guys who just arrived.

Your posts would be completely obscured if there was such an emoji.

Brilliant, you attached it to your own comment!

What makes you think that someone with a few hundred posts must have just arrived, cannot have been in Thailand as long as you have and cannot, therefore, have as much experience as you think you do?

Sure, it is possible that someone lives in Thailand for 20 years and has 20 or 200 post. But how likely is that?

And many of the people with few posts clearly show that they don't know much.

I don't blame anybody if they don't know much about Thailand, we all were newbies at some time. But it's funny when some new arrivals think they know it all.

I think a lot of old accounts with a low number of posts have been reactivated since the Trump landslide...

IIRC you started this with a smart@rse comment.

I usually get attacked on the basis my post count is too high, implying I have nothing better to do with my time.

I peel your vein.

Highly likely.   AN is not universally recognised as the forum to go to apart from by the handful of usual suspects.  Many people live here for years and have never heard of AN or TV or, if they have (and I'm not referring to you here) can't stand the barrage of nonsense (to put it very politely) that is sometimes posted so they stay clear of joining in!

Hey Mr EgoGuy, I didn't direct the comment to you, I wasn't replying to you, it was a general comment but you people who love yourselves think everyone is talking about you.

It was your second post, not the first, when you said you liked my fictional story.

 

I don't do fiction.

If you are going to rudely jump into a conversation, stick your nose in and comment with hostility don't expect nice replies.

I recall a few blokes on here having a pop at me about my post count, you know, you're a sad bloke, do something with your life, etc, with one I did the maths to find he posted daily, more than me.............🤣

 

These tools forget my near 18 years on here..........🤭

 

They also forget my contribution to making members happy near every day........😇...................🤭
