What you don't realize is that you don't know anything about me besides what I've said here

Which is quite a lot. 
Your posts are quite long winded.

I take most of it with a grain of salt, half of it is BS the other half wishful thinking.

Again you assume. I don't lie or exaggerate, telling things just as they are. Why would anyone? My posts are quite easy for any adult to understand, which is why you might have some trouble. You don't understand half of it, which is why you take some with a grain of salt. The other half you disagree with because you aren't half the man I am, don't have any children so you can't comment on that, and don't treat women with the amount of respect I do, which is foreign to you so you call it BS.

It’s not a legitimate street sign - it’s a poster slapped up by some half-witted local official, saying “drunk drivers slow” as if it’s a kindly reminder for drunk drivers to ease off the accelerator....

 

It was probably thrown up after a drunk driver killed someone in that area - and, true to form, some dimwit official with the intellect of either you or a particularly slow 5-year-old decided a cutesy sign reminding drunk drivers to be careful was a solid solution. Not tackling the actual problem of drunk driving, mind you – just a rather idiotic poster and a prayer ignoring the true issue.

 

 

The sheer stupidity of that sign is only rivalled by your willingness to treat it as some kind of official safety notice.

 

It perfectly mirrors your own brain-dead logic and your desperate attempts to justify your reckless drink driving - all while provoking anyone who dares point out how vile your behaviour is.

 

And now, you’ve crossed into thinly-veiled threats against other posters - a move so low, it reeks of cockroach-level degeneracy. All in your pathetic crusade to normalise your bigoted trolling and wind up anyone within reach. You’re not edgy. You’re just despicable – a festering little specimen of human nature that’s consistently shown not a shred of anything redeemable. The only faint silver lining is that most of us can see right through you – for the pathetic, attention-starved, morally bankrupt creature you truly are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Richard the resident ranter.

Thats a bit harsh isn’t it?


The ranter who boasts about getting his own friends off drink driving using his “police friends” and who was refused more beer on a plane. 
But wants to get on his high horse about members of this forum who have a couple and drive home safely.

Meanwhile Fred is out there oblivious to all the road signs mowing down poor Thai people.

 

Spare me the faux outrage

Like I said, you have no idea. It's best not to assume you have to "mansplain" to someone you've never met. It  shows that you've never had a confrontation with anyone outside of high school, as no one that talks like you do has ever come up against anyone like me. If you did you would have learned not to again.

I'll send you 20 Baht if you make one post without an assumption, a twisting of facts or rehashing old news trying to get out of someone's good evaluation of you, a deflection.

 

I'll say this again, so maybe you can write it down and not forget later in subsequent topics. I had two accidents, both their fault. I haven't mowed down any Thais but if you keep drinking and driving you just might. If you ever hit a foreigners child, I know where your future will lie.

Have a good time but do it responsibly and safely.

 A recent poll show most members will have a couple and drive home. So it’s best they do it safely so they don’t cause any accidents with the locals.

I only have issues with you and Richard.

You and Richard are forever arguing with many, many members.

 

I don’t come here to argue like you two but to share information with other expats.

My three threads that I have kindly shared over the last five days have been the most popular threads of the day.

 

But it would be better if you two didn’t act like a couple of schoolgirls as another member has pointed out.

You mean the utterly idiotic 3 option poll you created and crafted deliberately to troll as there were insufficient 'options which were loaded' to deliberately give the result you were aiming for...  all very transparent:...

Instead of: 

 

1) I have never consumed an alcoholic drink and driven in my life

2) I have never driven over the legal drink driving limit in my life

3) I have driven over the legal drink driving limit previously 

4) I habitually drive over the legal drink driving limit

Actually we disagree with some because this is a discussion forum, where many have opinions and facts, less and more knowledge on topics. You have issues with us because we call you out on your obvious behavior. If you haven't noticed,  we aren't the only ones.

 

Like he mentioned, you do come here to argue, troll and annoy others with your brown nosing of locals, quickness to dismiss the danger your drunk driving here, and prejudice against nationalities. he said it rather eloquently here,.................. "You’re not edgy. You’re just despicable – a festering little specimen of human nature that’s consistently shown not a shred of anything redeemable. The only faint silver lining is that most of us can see right through you – for the pathetic, attention-starved, morally bankrupt creature you truly are."

 

Of course anyone who is called out with the truth will do anything to deflect, such as calling us schoolgirls when you are also in this argument the other poster noted. Maybe you don't realize that the reason for your "popularity" is others laughing behind your back at the ridiculousness of them. Sharing a post and then putting in a shot about Israelis is obvious. I'm also thinking, although I could be off, is the reason you posted this in the first place is to do what you do elsewhere, and trash foreigners, tourists, as though they're all bad.

True, for many decades BALI has been the main country Australian visit for holidays.

 

Why?

- Not so far, flying from Sydney 6hrs 30 min to Bali, from Perth to Bali 3 hr 45 min. 

- Quite a lot of English spoken by locals.

- Good clean food and not expensive.

- Good 3 star hotels quite cheap (big range of costs but cheap for Australians). And up to 6 star hotels if you want. Vegemite usually out on the breakfast buffet.

- Safe, very little violence.

- Great beaches.

- Good safe local transport, use Blue Bird taxi if possible, no cheating. Some other taxis do sometimes try to charge more. 

- Plenty of shopping - good quality to poor quality fabrics, very reasonable prices. 

- Airport arrival easy. 

Everything an inbred bogan Aussie needs. Not going to tax the lack of brain matter too much getting there. It's the perfect destination.

Frankly, I wouldn’t waste my time...

- An underage rider - darted out of a side soi without looking and clipped back of my bike, I mentioned it on this forum...  A a different thread later un, Malcy used it to 'paint me as causing trouble with and disrespecting locals' !!!

 

- I asked for a 2nd beer on a 6 hours. The flight attendant told me to get it myself, quite rude, so I raised it with the purser... Ever since, Malcy trots this one out as “evidence” that I'm a trouble making alco on flights.

 

- I once mentioned in a thread - that two friends of mine had been hassled by the BiB at a DUI check-point after couple of beers (doubtful they were over the limit)... unwilling to play along with the shakedown, they called a mutual friend of mine who had a word with the officer at the checkpoint, and they were waved on.

Ever since, Malcy has tried to twist that into some sordid tale of corruption - desperately framing me as worse than the drink-drivers themselves... or sometimes of just making up the story (he can't make his mind up)...

 

 

It’s classic Malcy: He seizes the thinnest thread of information, mangles it beyond recognition, and with the gutless cunning of a true bottom-feeding cockroach, tries to weaponise it. Pathetic doesn't even begin to cover it.

I tell of an ex wife that I treated very well, with no cheating, abuse, control or neglect, helping her family on the farm, and paying for everything,then she kidnapped my daughter 4 times over minor disagreements, hid her away for months at a time, where I had to divorce her so she would be forced to bring my daughter back home, hit me, came at me with a knife three times, gave her other two daughters away, hits my daughter, hit her other daughter in front of her whole class because she stole a little money from me, and now has a new husband and 3 other boyfriends while her husband sends her money from Germany, and he twists that to I treated her so bad.

They don’t sound like minor disagreements to me Fred.

And who did she “give away” her other children to?

 

You were divorced and she was also divorced before. Statistically you didn’t have much hope. 
Sad when kids are involved.

It’s exactly what he does - it’s his entire game. Pure Malcy: manipulative, needling, calculated to provoke a reaction.

 

Anyone who sees through the act and dares to call him out becomes a target. He’ll trawl through old posts, cherry-pick out-of-context remarks, and twist them into ammunition. That’s the pattern (quite entertaining at times and its easy to catch him out at his own game).

 

He’ll even go as far as fabricating stories outright - claiming “other members have PM’d him to complain about you,” and similar nonsense, all in a bid to create the illusion of consensus. Classic gaslighting tactics, pathetically dressed up as concern.

 

It’s laughably childish and reeks of bottom-feeding desperation.

I'm surprised most just ignore his obvious manipulative cockroachey trolling behaviour and see it for what it is.

 

But... its also entertaining - the delusion that he thinks he's popular and keeps winning poster / thread of the day awards etc...     its the icing on the cake highlighting his delusions.

..... about as much to do with an Israeli woman “kicking off” in Thailand... and as much as any of your other deliberately crafted comments designed purely to provoke.

 

That’s the pattern. And that’s precisely why I’ve used specific examples - to highlight the kind of weasel you are, and the depths of depraved manipulation you’ll stoop to. You twist, contort, and warp other people’s words with such transparent desperation, all in a sad little attempt to “trigger and provoke.”

 

Your so-called “methods to generate discourse” are clumsy, predictable, and frankly pathetic....   

 

And now they have become so repetitive - others are seeing beyond the 'veneer' you try and hide behind.
