SeaVisionBurma Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I see the topic is back on some kind of track now. I posted this reply to Scampy's query in another forum - however it has died in the a*se over there and I felt it relevant to re-post it here: This strikes a chord. While looking for a friend's details (an online profile) in a Hong Kong web search, I stumbled across someone's Blog (weblog). Random find - no idea who the person is. Having never read one before, I ventured through to have a look (it was publicly listed, surely no harm) I was hooked at once - and sucked in to what turned out to be this person's online journal (which I guess for many people is what a blog is, eg have a look at some xanga blogs sometime). I was fascinated, but my thoughts turned to 'should I be reading this person's private thoughts online?" In the end, I decided that as I didnt know the person, it didn't matter. As an outsider - I was unable to judge their life. This led me to think - if I was doing my own blog, how honest would I be with what I posted? If I thought persons that I know might read it (ie a family member - someone who knows me, but not in the same light that people know me anonymously on the web) - then I would not post everything in my thoughts. If I was assured complete anonymity - I would open up and post intimate thoughts, gripes, joys, and analysis on everything I see, think, or do. Incidentally - why was I fascinated with the unknown person's blog? They captivated me with their completely raw postings on themself and their lives. It was completely intimate and personal - and it was just brilliant reading. so to get back to the original post by TGS - it will affect you (ie anyone) if you ever post anything which could have the possibility of impacting someone you know IF they were to ever read it in the future. does this make sense?

Limbo Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Ok - back on topic boys and girls or it will be closed. The flame wars will stop NOW. Sir! Yes Sir! Soldier, you stink! Go and brush your teeth. Dear Gentleman Scamp, My compliments on your well-written contribution to this forum. The only remark I would like to make, is that it is not really Thailand related, aside from the fact that you mention that meeting Thai girls had a certain influence on your present perception of western girls. This is however a very interesting point. It implicates that your earlier experiences with western girls influenced your perception of Thai girls. I wonder if this rather common attitude is related to the general looks of western cq thai girls. Actually I don't think it is. Foreigners mostly don't find the most attractive Thai ladies at their side. Those are strictly reserved for Thai gentlemen. Is it the lack of communication, camouflaged by a pretty smile? The stimulant of fantasy? Anyway, thanks for your very interesting contribution. The question about privacy is personal, the answer to that question is not of a general character. Great, the rain has come, at least in Northern Thailand. I wish you strenght in the Isarn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gentleman Scamp Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 "Ohhhhhhh, Limbo, Limbo, I understand y'lingo, thankyou for the compliment but Ning she was a bimbo..." Ahem. Yes, anyway... Sometimes I would love to post a link to one particular thread to a member of my family as I know it would be of interest, though they wouldn't be restricted to just that one thread and if curiosity got the better of them - which it would - they would get nosey and may see something they didn't like.

ThaiPauly Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Personally Scamp for a serious reply to this topic, I would not even tell many of my FREINDS about Thai Visa, for the simple reason that it would not be very difficult to work out my idendity, and I personally would like to be the one to decide to reveal it. (anyway my Old Mum and Dad have not got a Computer let alone e-mail, so I think I'm pretty safe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
