My bad!

I just pointed out that I didn't believe the LMGTFY link was very helpful. The OP asked if any members were kite boarders and asked a specific question about the weather. I'm sure he could have made that simple Google search himself.

I obviously expressed myself in a way that sounded ruder than I had intended it to, for which I apologise.

Forums are for people who want to know things about a specific area, why would they google when there might be people with first hand experience of the subject they are asking about, yes google is great but a forum is there to be used and no one should be put down for using it!!!

How many kitesurfers on this forum? Not sure..

If I wanted to meet up with kitesurfers and learn the sport, I would contact a kitesurfing school and meet other kitesurfers.

Just like your old attempts to get golfing partners, it didn't work here but I'm sure if you get to the course you can meet others interested in a game.

[kawapower]

And your point is what exactly? what has golf got to do with kitesurfing? do you know for a fact that my request for golfing partners on the forum did not work??

[kawapower]

And where do you think it might be possible to find a kitesurfing school in the area where a certain person lived, could it be on the Phuket forum, no it could not be possible could it!!!

Google is a resource that cuts through the crap and straight to the point.

I used your golfing as an example, your threads had no serious reply but if you have a interest or a querie about phuket, use Google first. I do and that why I don't post many empty and boring topics.

As you can see, not one reply was useful except for mine. when i clicked a few links from the kite surfing school from that google search, i found out that they meet in Chalong and I can even tell you pricing.

You again have brought nothing to a thread except whining.

The point is 'goober', you have to assume that the OP knows how Google works and would have used it if that's what he had wanted to do. You did the exact same thing on the 'Water in Patong' thread when somebody asked if they had started the festivities yet or not, and you told him to go and look for himself and then wrongly told him they wouldn't have started yet because 'Google' said it wouldn't have!

It just seems that some people want to make replies to posts when they don't really have anything to say that's of any benefit to the OP, and actually seem to be giving the OP a hard time just for asking a question! That's the point I was trying to make on the water thread and on this one as well. Like I said, apologies if you took offence at how I expressed my opinion.

Why wasnt the link helpful?

He can call the professionals at the kiteboarding school and I'm sure they are up to date on wind patterns and conditions than any armchair critic here.

Thaivisa isnt the be all end all of information.

Getting to the water thread, if it were me, I would get te phone number of an establishment on bangla (using Google) and call them to find out if the party is on.

That's just me and I like to cut out the middle man in any situation.

Perhaps, being a relatively new poster he was merely trying to engage with some like minded people on this forum and was using the pretex of the impending weather as his vehicle of choice.

Had a kitesurfing member responded he would have killed many birds with one stone, the weather, an intro to a club where he had common ground with someone and something to post about?

If this was the case then your lmgtfy link was both useles and counterproductive.

I just told you. Because He knows how to use Google and would have gone down that route if he had wanted to. He obviously didn't want to, but what he did obviously want to know is if any BM's were kite boarders and could tell him about the conditions, because that's what he asked!!

You may think it's a silly question that won't get any replies but so what? that's not your call to make.

I can't be bothered to discuss it with you any further. I know how it works, I get moaned at and get warnings for arguing, and you go about your merry way. If you think your posts are helpful and they're not against the rules then go for it, it's no skin off my nose.

Exactly but I can't see the kitesurfing community on thavisa jumping up to help so the link is there so he is just a phone call away from all the answers he needs. Instead he chose to circle jerk this forum for a few days with no real information, except my link.

I mean really, is it that hard to do a little research first and if no luck, then post a thread?

Horses for courses, some people swear by google others prefer to interact with forum members because Phuket forum members who have lived here for a very long time will know the ins and outs of most everything, google would not have this experience!!

You're obviously bored and trolling as usual but I'll entertain you one last time.

Its logical. Google could get those original questions answered with one phone call to the proffesionals in the sport, not some guys on the internet.

If I hadn't answered and gave you a reason to get riled up, this thread would be down the board with 200+ views and no replies.

Google links you to not only the schools but the kitesurfing enthusiest forums.

I think there is more info there than a phuket where to buy Vegemite forum.

Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics, whether you win or lose you're still retarded.

Don;t get me wrong, I use lmgtfy all the time. In th's case though I think he was looking for a friend, which he didn;t find as it turns out.

The demographic of TV members probably doesn;t lend itself to kitesurfing and now he knows that at least.

Yes, for engaging in a discussion with you and the bangtao reincarnate I am.

You brought nothing of use and neither did he, just trying to troll a debate.

I still can't believe I managed to bore hkp, he normally will debate a point until his fingers bleed.
