smokie36 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I am home now, SC has a home one mile from mine, that may account for a similar outlook on things. Split my OP into two....the first part was an appeal to stop bullying newbies, the second part was a reference to the social aspect of Thaivisa. If some of you would stop treating TV as a war zone and treat it as a social medium then you would get a big surprise as to how sociable and hospitable your fellow members are. Smokie will confirm that we had truly magical days visiting TV members and outstanding nights too. So yes I have made a fuss about leaving, I am delighted to make a fuss about saying thanks for the hospitality, it made my trip memorable. I wish I had more time as there were plenty more invitations that I could not take up, I will do next time though. So less bullying and more blethering would make TV a more enjoyable place for everyone. You see its just this sort of agressive, vindictive posting that gives newbies a bad name. And you don't even live here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some days I just pray for a long power cut..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to make your day, apparently were in for loads this month!

So less bullying and more blethering would make TV a more enjoyable place for everyone. My attempts to take the Chiang Rai sub forum down a broader path, including social media and interaction in addition to what was already there, was met with heavy resistance. They seem to see it as an either/or, while I think there is room for the traditional as well as the new. Apparently some felt so strongly they went off and started a completely new forum. I guess some people just find it difficult to play well with others when they don’t agree about everything.You have managed to influence a portion of the posts here on TV and that is all anyone can expect. Oh, eh, I forgot to mention, me and Smokie are coming to see you at Christmas, Just sayin' ( at this point vf makes devious last minute plans to flee Chiang Rai this Christmas :-) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've almost stopped reading such threads; except I'm irresistably drawn by the opportunity for scurrilous misdirection. I should set up an investment company and profit from my poor advice SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoDogz Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Newbi's such as moi, also try to gauge some public opinion about an experience they have recently had and then get ridiculed for it and accused of things that are not true or correct.
