Hello

I have given some advice on things I know about over the past couple of weeks, good solid advice.

I reckon the OP's may be 'fannying' others and not who they seems to be.

Very disheartening IMO.

Anyone else experienced this?

You mean all the obvious trolling that goes on in general?

Just browse it for the laughs.

Maybe your advice was complete garbage and the OP's were right to ignore it

No bullshitters in Thailand that I have met...just lots of retired CEOs under 35, lottery winners, Facebook investors etc etc ... Lots of lucky and smart people here right?!

OK, yep, see where you are coming from, people trying to save face and be more than they are?!!

OK, nuff said!

Cheers all

Don't get disheartened. Just learn to discriminate between those who are seeking advice and those who post for fun.

You forgot to mention those who are seeking attention...

I have thought this for a long time.

Quite a few are just cranks with nothing better to do and after a few posts it soon becomes apparent that the OPs are trolls and time wasters. I find many of the newbie posts rather suspect and it is extremely irritating when one puts a lot of thought and effort into giving advice only to realise later that the OP is an oddball and it`s all been a waste of time.

The problem is that it is easy to set up a Thai visa membership with Yahoo and Hotmail email accounts. I read that TV is going to refuse membership applications for those using Yahoo emails and the same will apply for Hotmail applicants later on.

Perhaps this will reduce the number of time wasting trolls when they are no longer able to remain so anonymous, having to use gmail and some others which requires SMS verifications.

And then there are those who post questions and think the seek advice, but all they want is confirmation for their preconceived opinions...

I used to waste a lot of time with lengthy answers if I felt I could help contribute to that person, but more often than the OP (often a newbie) wouldn't return. Subsequently I try hard to pick a genuine poster that I might be able to assist and if I have more to give I usually pm the the person.....sometimes it's genuine and I get a response. However, more than not I find a good percentage are not genuine, merely trolls or BS'ers and I feel for those that spend a lot of time and energy with comprehensive answers.

True but it's not just the OP who will read and get benefit from the advice.

You're right and I was going to add this. If the question is a good one regardless, then it could be of benefit.

Speaking of being not not genuine.

Can you imagine there are people on Thai Visa who make up quotes from famous political leaders to represent their own peculiar view of the world.

Why would anyone do something like that?

I have absolutely no time for liars but a night in the company of a good bullshitter can be amusing and entertaining.

A misquoting bullhitter should not be confused with a malicious bullshitter!

There are dumb mis quotes or malicious mis quotes. So if a person gets it wrong because he is ignorant OK that's cool. Say, SORRY. No big deal. But mostly they lie. When caught; ignore it or attack the person doing the catching. Or they make up another lie to cover the first lie.

For example one poster did not read a news story well and confused Avenue mall with Central mall. When he posted chiding another poster on accurate reading I reminded him he got the mall wrong because he didn't read the story. So, he wrote back that the newspaper had changed the story and changed the name of the mall. Absolute nonesense. But he could not bring himself to say, sorry I read the story wrong. Instead he made up a lie about it. Like little kids.

If you lied in the SAS, you were dealt with.........we never put up with liars and bullsh_tters. I seen/done some things that would make your hair curl.

You wouldn't believe the stuff that was going on in the Navy Seals

I always wanted to join the SAS but I was turned down.
