I'm sure you are but, with a name like arthur most of us wouldn't be interested.

I'll wear lipstick.

What colour ?

and where?

Will you wear a red carnation in your lapel or flowers in your hair ?

I admit that it is amusing to watch the vultures, when someone throws some red meat their way.

That pormax guy has you lot sorted.

If you have to ask you will never get in..

because she will tell you not tonight, dirty.

That pormax guy has you lot sorted.

i need to use my stubborn head to protect my fragile and delicate heart

That pormax guy has you lot sorted.

Whats a 'mensa'?

A table

Mesa?

Mensa is latin for table.

Mesa is spanish and portuguese for table. It is also a term used to describe a flat-topped and steep sided upland area.

Mensa is also the name of the forum for intellectual people http://www.mensa.org/

Those who cannot join Mensa lurk in the dark recesses of Tv.

and members of mensa are called menses.

Funny how the 'thick skinned' immediately take the pormax post seriously and have a go at the guy........you sure about yourselves here people?

I think i understand. But returning to the OP AFAIK we are here to share experiences and knowledge. And i think poster' egos get touched very easily whilst discussing the threads. All i am saying that' s the outcome of talking to each other in a digital way.... My thoughts are the thin or think skin is not an issue. The forum is there to share information but personality's have always to be taken into account. Nobody' s talking to a computer here. Let's be nice to each other and learn from one another. Regardless if your/our skin is thick or thin.

How's my skin ... I have an itch I can't scratch ... Thai Visa relieves that itchy feeling.

As for my bite ... it's about equal to my bark.

Hey! I also lurk in the dark recesses of Tv (otherwise I would not be posting, would I??) ..... Don't take life so seriously, or we'll have to mark you down as thin-skinned

Agreed. I'm reading through the list of popular threads that theblethererhighlighted in a recent post.... What a laugh! We need more threads like those....bloody hysterical.

I would prefer the forum is used for worthwhile, constructive and informative articles and responses

It is very annoying reading through trolls and stupid moron's replies.

I feel it is childish to try and wind people up especial;ly when you don't know them.

However I have to accept there are those who use this forum as light entertainment who seem to have a very low IQ and have no intention of trying to help another forum member but just take the p**s.

I think its great that members of Mensa such as your goodself find time to discuss these sorts of things with us plebs on TV and give us your wisdom oh great one...

Employed a Mensa with engineering wallpaper coming out his ying yang...whilst he was quite witty and intelligent his interpersonal and sales skills/achievement failed to come up to scratch....sadly,him being a good friend, had to let him go.

I find TV both entertaining and informative, like many, if I am having/had a bad day I tend to write rubbish and let it get to me..bloody stupid as it is.....Think I still hold grudges against some executives from my other life..also stupid...human nature I suppose.

Yes the "I am a tertiary educated, extremely intelligent, knowledgeable ,financially secure, I only ever buy the best, colonial wannabe, superior westerner " posts just make me giggle....being a bit of a savage it IS sometimes fun to flame them though...suspect it maybe goes over their head for the most part...lol.

Of course as we are all guilty of blowing our own trumpets to some degree at one time or another thus we become moths to the "flame"......makes public forums what they are methinks.

I'm pretty.

I'm sure you are but, with a name like arthur most of us wouldn't be interested.

Speak for yourself.............

Bea Arthur was a cougar, sort of.

This interaction with other people who are complete strangers via my computer is totally new for me.

Before I moved here to LOS I had not been interested in forums, facebook, chatting or anything to do with online communication.

So at first, I found myself a bit thin skinned and letting some comments get to me......but now I can safely say that my time here on TV has thickened my skin somewhat and I find that there are some very clever and witty posters out there, and if I want to join in I can....and if I don't , I just move on.

All in all, it is a good place to exercise one's funny bone.

No I am not a member of mensa but would suggest that my IQ is rather higher than a lot members on TV.

I never expected anything less from the replies I have recieved from my OP, I think it just proves my point.

I have been a member of an Ex Pat forums in other countries and never have I seen such childish replies.

If someone wants to have a laugh or joke or play a game at someones else's expense then why not go to the 'joke and games ' section.

Yes I can laugh and joke around with the best, but what annoys me is a member will sometimes start a resonable OP

only to be replied with stupid (many times off topic) replies where all one was doing was asking or giving advice.

Would many of the TV members give the same response to someone who is standing in front of them?

I think not, but it is ok to hide behind a keyboard.

Yes, I now await more idiotic replies. But one thing I am sure of is that my OP and this post will not improve the standard on TV.

Sometimes it is too late to grow up.

I invite you not agree that it is pompous rather than intelligent to tell a group of people you have recently met that you believe your level of intelligence is rather higher than theirs.

I further invite you to agree that your perception of TV and the purpose it serves is simply one of a number of differing views.

The people you criticise may in fact be very intelligent but they don't conduct themselves in a way that you approve of and their motivation for being TV members may be different to your own.

TV members are clearly an heterogeneous mix of people, markedly more heterogeneous than you would meet in a club back home. Your status on TV is contingent on the quality of your postings. I believe that most people on TV enjoy the cut and thrust of the humor and most people seeking advice get a measure of genuine help.

You need to adjust to the climate!

How come they have earned such a bad reputation on matters of personal hygiene! Are you saying it's just a malicious form of pigism!
