I think you scored a clean 10 by adding this one 😘

Didn't you claim that I insulted Asian women, in general? Where is the evidence for that? You are like a girl, just jumping from subject to subject, when the previous one fails. You just make it up as you go along in order to try to score a point somewhere. But you just fail, time and time again.

Face it, you are a cart horse at best. A feminine acting one.

Listen, I do not owe you any explanation. Your posts speak for themselves, and if you had even a tiny bit of self-awareness or conscience, you would know that.

I have treated you as if you knew, but obviously I was wrong. You do not.

Oh dear...seems that you have gone off the rails again. Just throwing out wild accusations without evidence.

You made an accusation. I asked you to show your evidence. But of course you cannot. Men don't behave in that way, surely?

You are an embarrassment to yourself and whatever family you claim to have. Men should be reasonable, rather than emotional.

Considering all the names you have called me (and everyone else) and your ability to measure my IQ in almost every thread we have both participated in, perhaps I should feel honoured by all the time you invest in me.

Still, I am usually the one who backs out after I have had my final say. You never stop. And it is not only with me. It is the same pattern with everyone who takes your hook. The same pressure, the same personal abuse.

But how do you know the person on the other end is not mentally fragile or already struggling?

You have described me as fragile and mentally challenged, yet you still continue with the same pressure and abuse. What do you think about that?

A normal person might stop and reflect. You do the opposite. Every time the exchange slows down, you increase the heat and intensity.

Why?

If your life is as perfect as you keep telling everyone, why do you need these completely out-of-order dialogues?

I'm pondering whether i should read your post in it's entirety, seeing as you often refuse to read mine.

But sometimes you might be asking me a genuine question and I don't mind taking the opportunity to have a genuine conversation.

The reason why we have these kinds of conversations, is your propensity to assume the worst and your inability to laugh at yourself. Hence you are prone to 'take offence' where someone less 'sensitive' might end up having a shared laugh over it.

For example, when you described @Cameroni thread as a place for 'gossiping chickens', I asked you if you considered yourself in that number. You replied rudely and defensively. That sets the scene. Instead of being able to laugh it off between ourselves, it takes on a far more 'unpleasant' tone.

Unable to get over it, you revived it the next day at 5am and then the day after that, at 6am. So now it becomes a sport.

But the whole time you act as if you were/are a victim, without accepting that you decided the direction of our dialogue.

Every time you respond rudely and/or defensively it risks the same scenario. But you cannot change it. You need to hold that grudge/mistrust in your heart forever. You see only danger and respond accordingly. So the same thing happens every time. Some people are able to learn from their mistakes and to remove themselves from that poisonous cycle. Others choose to blame everything but themselves. Deal with yourself firstly. You always try to use the mirror tactic in so that you don't change anything. If you don't it will be the same.

I am just your mirror.

I'm not suffering nor complaining.

I will give you one last reply, and it comes from Christoph Waltz, who quotes one of Voltaire famous : "Change is annoying, but certainty is absurd"

I honestly think what we are doing here is just absurd, nothing more, nothing less. And I know you will use this to your advantage, no matter what, but thats okay, thats fine. After all it doesn't matter! Nothing here matters.

You know, I only became aware of you as JakeC in the Smoking Ganja thread. ;-)

Honestly, I couldn’t care less about having a personal battle with you, but since then you have been on to me in thread after thread and under every new nick. A total of six in one year, as far as I am aware.

Enough is enough. If it were only me, I might have thought twice about my own presence here and simply let it go. But when I see the same behaviour directed at others who may not be as good at standing up for themselves, and who may have their own struggles, it makes a difference.

You may have your own struggles too, but they do not excuse this behaviour.

Just the way you bully members in the technical threads is distasteful. You are supposed to help them with your knowledge, but when they do not take your advice, you start abusing them.

There you go with the deflection and the blame again. Take care of your own problems first before you try to throw stones. It was you bullying members in the cannabis thread. No one there had done anything to you. You just had a bee in your bonnet about someone smoking in your presence. You used that to attack members who had absolutely nothing to do with that. Do you consider that normal or even reasonable behaviour?

But here you are, hypocritically, acting as if you are the saviour and protector.

Now I'm bullying members in the Tech threads? Are you really this weak? I get my point across. If someone feels bullied over the Internet, they have their own mental issues. I'm not attacking, I'm just making sure that advice I am giving gets through. Some people, like yourself, take a looooong time to learn.

Now matter how much you try to attack me, it has NO EFFECT on me going forward. It's that conversation and then it's over.

Whereas you seem to have built up this angst. You totally abused the system to your own ends. You've tried to incite bullying against me by trying to get others to join in. Those are your issues and you should look to your own conscience.

Deal with your own issues firstly. Stop using others as your excuse.

So Patts has cheap condos, bad traffic, polluted beaches and ranks no 1 for crime against farangs. Sounds wonderful!

This post of yours was shallow with detail for the uninformed. Let's take a deeper dive of each item in your list.

"Cheap condos". Yes, you can buy or rent small, inexpensive condos in Pattaya. True also for Bangkok and some other Thailand cities. In Pattaya, you can also buy or rent very expensive, very high-end, large beachfront condos. And, literally, everything in-between the two. Huge choice of condos which can be rented, or bought in foreign quota--which is good, not bad.

You seem to present affordable condos as a negative but it's really a big positive, and it's just one segment of the very large housing choice available in Pattaya, at all price points, including affordable. Conclusion--for expats choosing where to live in Thailand, a good selection of housing types to rent or buy is a big plus, as housing is usually a big and important budget item for most of us. I knew it already but Google confirms that Pattaya has the biggest selection, and the widest price range, for diverse housing types in Thailand. Not a negative, a big plus.

"Bad traffic". Most areas are not that bad but it can be on certain roads in the popular tourist areas, especially on holidays and weekends. My particular pet peeve is North Pattaya Road, which could easily be improved if the city wanted to. Compared to Bangkok, though, Pattaya's traffic, even in the worst areas, is a breeze. I like to complain about the traffic but every time I go to Bangkok I realize it could be a whole lot worse. I'm being reminded this week of the horrendous Bangkok traffic jams--spouse and I were out and about today in the Bangkok traffic--both city and suburbs. Awful! And, I will try to never complain about Pattaya's much, much easier traffic ever again, but probably will. The good thing is many expats in Pattaya, including us, are living away from the worst traffic spots. Conclusion--it's in the negative column of Pattaya's postives and negatives, but not a deal-breaker for most residents.

"Polluted beaches". Actually, the beaches aren't polluted, it's the ocean. The beaches of Pattaya and Jomtien have all been worked on and widened and I know Pattaya beach is being kept clean--I don't go to Jomtien much but last time I went the beach there looked clean, too. We used to live right on Wongamat beach and it was also clean.

So, the beaches are mostly clean, and lovely to look at--which is what the vast majority of expats living in Pattaya do. We look at the ocean and the beaches, admiring the views from the balconies of our seaview condos, when we drive by them, or when we occasionally walk the beach promenades.

Not being able to swim in the ocean is no big deal for most residents. When my spouse and I want to snorkle, we'll rent a boat and go out to the snorkeling areas by some of the small islands. Conclusion--good beach, sea, and shoreline views to look at; skip the ocean and swim in a pool. Not a negative for most residents--I never give it a thought.

"Crime against farangs". I googled this and it seemed to be a tossup as to whether Bangkok, Pattaya, or Phuket had the most crime against farangs, with Pattaya and Phuket above Bangkok when adjusted for population size. All three places attract large numbers of tourists, and that is where most of the farang crime takes place, with tourists. Google says violent crime is rare, with much of the crime of the petty type--scams, thefts, jewelry snatches, etc.

Google also stressed that the amount of crime 'varied significantly' depending on the 'specific neighborhood'. That last is the important thing for residents like me. Most of us are not drunk on Walking Street at 2am, and crime is really not an issue at all. Spouse and I have been here 15 years and have never encountered any crime, or felt unsafe. To be fair, that's also true for the entire time we have spent in Thailand, including visiting many different places. Conclusion: Pattaya's crime, much of it petty, is largely focused on tourists, in the tourist areas. Not a negative for most residents.

So, looked at in more detail, you're right, 'Sounds wonderful!'.

First! You are 100% deflecting, as you avoid answering my question. Try again, the question was: How can you see the same faces every day in one area if you are not one of them?

What has that got to do with anything? This is about you, saying that you see the same people in one area everyday, right? Doesn´t that mean you have to be in the same area everyday to be able to do that?

Now, Hummin, try to grow a brain before you answer. I understand it can be very hard for you, but please, just try!

Well the smoking in my presence was in the presence of family and other families with kids on a ferry. So take that another place to excuse yourself.

I should not really need to explain this, but since you are Swedish, I will give you an excuse.

When you stay at a hotel in Jomtien or Pattaya, people walk out the door, leave the facilities, and follow the same streets to restaurants and other venues, or just walk the beach. After a while, you see the same faces and the same routines.
