"Loosing" it? By me saying that you need to take responsibility for your own actions?

Can you really not see quite how strange your thinking?

Even when I ask you genuine questions on the mental illness thread, you see only negativity. You refuse to engage in honest dialogue. Instead you invent Trolls and whatever else to protect your fragile ego.

It's not me who is weak. Have I ever run away from any one of our discussions? Look at the reality, rather than the fantasises you choose to create to protect your fragile mind.

You are just showing me what you are. Can't you see that?

What do you see of me? Someone who is unafraid to say what he perceives. That is true freedom. You want me to be afraid, to be punished. Even would like to use violence to get your way. You are fighting against something much stronger than you. Freedom. You are trapped. Limited.

Accept that people are free to say whatever they want to say, within the rules of the medium. Everything you feel, is created by you. No one is physically touching you. If you cannot deal that, then get off the Internet. You are not fit to tell anyone what to do. Control yourself.

One thing about you: you are a good waste of time. There is never an honest debate, only fishing, twisting, and attacking. That is your game.

Ending a conversation with you is not running away. It is choosing to be the grown man before things escalate. All the rest of your babble about “being a man” and “talking man to man” is just another imagined idea in your head.

It is endless bickering, and the longer you stay, the weaker your arguments get. That is probably why you change nicknames so often, if you are not kicked out first. We all know that pattern.

And your latest lame attempt, announcing that “I am on your radar now”? Christ’s sake, who do you think you are?

For me, AN/TV has been a life-saver.

Ok, a slightly excessive response; but has made life here so much easier for me.

Yes, there is a lot of misinformation (either from the uninformed or deliberate intent on misleading others).

But overall, a lot of very very useful information for expats that may not make the mainstream media, eg immigration, banking, taxation, etc., changes. Also, a lot of information on regional variations in procedures, processes, rule/law/regulation enforcement.

Life in Thailand without AN/TV, especially for those of us who do not have Thai spouses/partners, would be a lot more stressful.

That is an insight into your mind. You did exactly the same thing on @Cameroni thread. It's just the way your mind works.

Just now, Hummin said:

It's you running away from a discussion that you cannot control. Pray tell me how an online conversation might escalate. We might throw longer words at each other? Stop lying to yourself. You did it during normal conversations, even privately alongside @fredwiggy when I tried to explain to you that online conversations are not real in the same way as being in person. You just freaked out, time and time again. The only person who escalates, is you. You cannot control yourself, so start ranting and raving or trying to get me removed. All the while trying to blame someone else for your own lack of control.

To me, you seem a very limited creature. A carthorse at best. You try to dress it up as maturity, but in reality it's something much less impressive.

Who wrote the first post advocating violence? Who brought up the idea or going into a boxing ring and real consequences? Now you complain about me escalating? There's no point in me asking if you are normal, as you will always see yourself as the victim.

If you go looking for violence, it will find you. Violence is violence, you aren't talking peace. You want control.

Always with your 'spineless character' autistic behaviour. Same thing repeated for years and long before you ever had contact with me. Birds of a feather...

Sort yourself out, you nutcase.

You being a copycat is a real thing here. You heard someone call another member autistic, and now you suddenly address me as one. And when someone called you narcissistic, you started handing out that label to everyone who disagreed with you. Those are just a few examples out of many.

And because you have a nerve for my posts here, and are constantly chasing me and a few others, it is easy for me to see. Maybe it is not so obvious to others who are not on your radar.

You have said many times now that you keep records of people, that you have been here for many years, and that you keep certain individuals on your radar. You seem to enjoy poking them, constantly reminding them of earlier discussions, and twisting old posts into something different from what was originally meant.

It is obvious that the moment you start losing ground, you begin your desperate labeling game, even calling others aggressive and accusing them of losing control. In reality, it looks more like a mirror of yourself.

Nobody is playing the victim here except you, but you do not seem to see it yourself. That is what self-awareness is about.

And when you go off the rails, your posts are removed. You know why, but instead of looking at your own behaviour, you blame everyone else for your own misconduct.

If you didnt know from before, this is a game nobody wins,

This is all in your mind. Enjoy your version of reality, both in life and on the forum. If your real life is as delusional as your forum life, then good luck.

I have said what I wanted to say, and there is no reason to drag this out into endless bickering again, as before, and before that. My post above contains everything.

Lying, twisting, and trying to control the outcome will not change what is obvious. Unfortunately, watching you do this is like watching someone who cannot swim in deep water.

We all know your game now. You are standing there naked.

@Hummin I have a lot of respect for you as a poster on this forum, particularly your "influencer" contributions in the lifestyle and dietary department. I think you do your otherwise good reputation a disservice by allowing yourself to get sucked into petty bickering contests over trivial matters. You'll be better off rising above the temptation.

I think you are referring to yourself and your friend @fredwiggy.

I have pointed out your usage of the term 'spineless' to describe people for years now. You only suppressed it for a while, when I made it all too clear. But you cannot suppress your 'ticks' for too long.

I just refrained from calling you autistic.

I didn't call anyone a narcissist until I saw @fredwiggy repeated accusations against ex-partners and anyone who disagreed with him...and then I began to notice the similarities between you and he.

He doesn't allow himself to get sucked in, it's just part of his character. Have you ever heard of the saying "Don't meet your idols"? Otherwise you will see that they have flawed characters, just like everyone else.

Some can see it more clearly, more quickly.

Please point even a single lie that you think I may have told. If you cannot, doesn't that make you the liar?

No. Why do you ask?

The discussion ended nearly an hour ago. What triggered you? You felt the need to throw your oar in?

Do you find other people's discussions disturbing? Did we stop you from saying something that you wanted?

When you have something interesting to add, simply post it. If someone else is having a discussion that doesn't include you and you have nothing to add to the conversation...

So again, no. This is a discussion forum and everyone is welcome to post. If you don't like the content, there is always the ignore button...or you can take your own advice.

I used to think of you two as reasonably rational posters. I am revising my opinion.

When you say "No, why do you ask?" are you saying you don't want to grow up?

Attacking me for "throwing my oar in" is an indicator you may be the problem.

You can go looking for that information in other places,

I like that it is for us locals/expats in SEA , I don't like people

here that are not in SEA and have no connection to this place.

Anonymity is key , which you don't have on social media.

If you want to comment , youtube seems a good place

but not anonymous. Youtube is not really social media

like the others , I think. I don't do social media.

Yes without AN , I would win some time but would

have to make mobile linked (so non anonymous) accounts

for like youtube.

I agree. The immigration info has been great, really helpful advice from members. Also, asking for help getting things done in Thailand usually gets a positive response. As for the rest, well, would not take long to forget about it.

Not sure it was completely free of controversy. At least back then, there was more relevant information being shared that was not easily available on the internet, and certainly not through AI like today.

I think my first nickname was around 2012 or so, but I was not very active in those years. It was only after I met my girlfriend, now my wife, that I started to find the forum more interesting and valuable. You could call it a connection, or a reason to be here.

You should understand that it doesn't matter to me what you think. It matters to me what I do. I know what I'm doing, you don't.

The emotional reactions of a few won't ever influence my choices. But if it helps you to feel better about yourself, you can run with it.

😊 That was a pointless exchange. My discussion with @Hummin was for an entirely different reason. But of course you do not understand that 😊

Hence the description of your 'sticking your oar in'. But since you appear to feel entirely satisfied with yourself, I'm happy enough leave you with that 🤗

Though if you would like a little hint to help you along, the mental illness thread might give you a clue. It's not what you think. 😉
