Take some time and visit the history of him and the other noodle. They can't hide themselves, although deflections have them trying to put the attention on others here. Look at the outrageous assumptions and lies above. Deflections as usual. Using the truths I've listed and turning them back on me, and they still don't realize others are aware. A couple here are labeled as narcissists, with all the proof given by their statements, and it turns into thousands I've labeled. So hilarious.

I have no opinion I want to express about the posters you are referring to. You can play with them if you choose. I was just surprised that Rocky expressed women are dogs. I read through some of his posts but never saw him state this. I assume he did because you wouldn't make that accusation and he hasn't claimed he didn't. On we go....:)

This isn't true, is it?

I have offered to help you with things twice, on the open board. Your reaction was disgraceful. You have literally have not ever been civil towards me, ever since a discussion about your ridiculous assertion that Texas Ribs and NY Pizza were health foods. Ego problems...

But it is simply not true. He still responds, but doesn't quote the poster. He replies to someone else, writing what he would write anyway. So instead of speaking directly to someone, he just creates a 'side gossip'.

Don't tell me you didn't notice. 😊

I noticed but it is much preferred to the both of you taking over a thread. I don't understand your need to go after him but it is your choice and nothing I can do about. As ACDC might describe - I've got big flaws, you got big flaws,who has the biggest flaws of them all.

This is the real world and I could say that I've never met but a few in the "real world" who talk and act like you and a couple of others here. The only difference is that a few here wouldn't talk like they do here in public for fear of reprisals.

I am open and truthful in public too. No fear of normal, reasonable people. You would not say out loud the rubbish that you post here every day in public.

Would you suggest that I was a covert narcissist to my face and talk about my parents? Of course you would not. Practice what you preach.

Back when this was ThaiVisa we had a couple of poster meetups, where we saw each other from behind the keyboard. Quite fun. Once in Phuket we were at a poster's sports club in Rawai , we ate bar b cue played ping pong had drinks, good times.

Whole bunch of male keyboard warriors now. Meetup BKK (?), doubt many would show.

We had them In CM as well. Good to put "names" to faces!

Are you feeling lonely and yearning for genuine connection? It's time to find the friendship you've been missing.

Social media is now the most powerful vector for hatred.. I browse and post here occasionally, when something triggers me or hits me as blatant obscene antisemitism, which quite sadly has become pervasive here.

At the same time, you are talking to him about exactly the same things. Are you "going after him"?

I do my thing and you do yours. If someone is being a total hypocrite, I may point that out. If someone is obviously lying, I may point that out.

There is no limit to that person's lies and obfuscation. Similarly, there is no limit to when I choose to point that out. That's just the way it is. Your personal emotions or thoughts are your issue with which to deal. I'm okay with how I conduct myself and that is what matters.

I'm certainly not going to make myself responsible for the mental fragility of strangers. If they are happy to preach to others, then they will have to get used to it happening to them too. Do unto others...

I accept that not everyone is going to be on my wavelength every time. I'm stable enough to cope with it. 😊

Not lacking. That's a big part of what aids mental stability. Stability in friendships and relationships. Even more specifically, relationships that are not based on financial dependency.

I get along well with right and left wing posters. Jews too. It's only the feminists you really need to watch out for. They ruin every thread too, a scourge in every sense of the word.

Oh my ... not the feminists. Anything but the feminists. How dare women intrude and give an opinion. You are truly a piece of work.

Ignore feature does not work well. I have 20 on ignore. 5 still read me regularly. They blame me for their miserable life. I have never met them.

I think I am one of the 20, doubt if I would make one of the 5. I do not have a miserable life to blame you for. Have not seen you on here for a while now, the last time was some holiday snaps.

You miss Susan (BigNok) Harris, do you? Word is she's fired up her 10th new user account and is already lurking among us. Stay tuned, surely she will expose herself soon enough with a few of her usual unhinged posts.

Most new members get hammered if they start a first thread so they don't return. Its the usual 3-4 members who diss them, ridicule them, and generally just disrupt the forum. Ther MO is wait for a thread with a good to get going then they join in with either pick apart there post so in the end you start to think they are correct and not you, or they deflect to kill the thread off.

If an anonymous person on an internet forum can say something that leads one to reconsider one's opinions, maybe that says more about oneself and one's convictions rather than them?

Any idea of the new identity yet? Can't believe he has gone 5 days without posting. Perhaps he had an unfortunate accident......

Rumor has it that he purchased himself a fresh ladyboy in Hua Hin, and the two of them promptly absconded together to a deserted island somewhere off the coast of Africa, where, thankfully, there is absolutely no Wi-Fi access. Apparently, he has finally embraced the simple life he was always destined for: climbing trees, eating coconuts, capturing sand snails, and whatever unfortunate field rodents happen to wander within reach, while spending his days fashioning crude furniture from driftwood and old fishing nets and shouting at passing seabirds.

Occasionally, a distant fishing boat reports seeing him standing on the beach, wearing nothing but a loincloth and the haunted expression of a man who has just discovered that his cheapo 1,000-baht budget smartphone is of absolutely no use to him in paradise.

Rumor further has it that his identity-confused concubine is doing quite well and has adapted blissfully to island life. He, on the other hand, is apparently one bad shellfish away from complete psychological collapse, assuming he hadn't already achieved that state long before disappearing.

His absence, needless to say, is bliss. The silence is magnificent, everyone on AN is reportedly celebrating and slowly recovering from years of his abusive vitriol, and somewhere on a remote African island, nature is finally getting the punishment it deserves. For once, the rest of us can enjoy the peace and quiet without having to wonder what fresh torrent of regurgitated bile is about to appear from him on the forum.

It has always been trolled, but the wise-guy section has grown along with the level of contempt people hold for others in general or anyone with a different opinion... but that is just an indicative reflection of how society everywhere now works and has polarized becoming more negative towards others. Best thing to do is to just say what you think and don't react much to any trolling, wise guy, or antagonistic posts as many fail to even understand the posts correct or infer any obvious messaging... just go off on one straight away.

I would lay the blame mostly at the door of the arrival of instant global communication, social media, the internet in general, and the dismantling of basic community everywhere and people, as a result of this, desperately trying to find some meaning and identity or validation in their isolated lives due to the enormity of it all. Many people are isolated and inevitably will struggle with mental issues due to limited real-time meaningful social interaction with others, or seeing the world in such a state and feeling helpless to change anything. I guess forums are an outlet for the steam that builds up and hiding behind a pseudonym and a keyboard tends to bring out the worst in people as there are little consequences to their release of frustration. It is often said that if you want to know what people are really like, go on the internet.

So, yes, it has changed, but so has everything else too and a forum will just manifest/reflect the current psycological trends and reality of the state of humanity in differing societies and situations... in all its sortcomings, as people channel their frustrations loudly to give them the idea that they are perhaps, in some small way, controling or influencing things as a coping mechanism. However, I not a shrink... just a wild guess that has crossed my mind once or twice.

That's a good summation, i would say ! And most impressive is that from what i can tell...... those are actually words/thoughts from you ( a live human) and not the easily accessible Ai copy and post junk. It is my opinion that long passages from Ai should not be allowed on these forums (nor should the bickering ...but good luck with that 555) How to "manage" the overuse/ takeover of the forum by a few compuslive posters who seem to live on these pages .....well, that is always the moderators dilemma .
