cycloneJ Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 ^ look at this thread and get back to us identify the posts that actually offer something of value to the forum readers the crap starts with the very first user post #2 and descends from there, and i see some have even been removed. I wonder at the reading abilities; eg from the original news item: Komarov had checked into the Hotel on 16th February and was due to check-out on 5th March 17 days? then a few posts down #19: Coincidentally, he was killed on the planned day of his departure after an almost 60 day stay.

rookball Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 for every negative post, there are probably alot more positive things going on about. usually, no one really post about positive things unless its a exceptional one and we took certain things for granted. but when it comes to the slightest negative things that we encounter, we tend to bltch it more than anything else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rene123 Posted March 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2013 I don't mind negative comments. I even don't mind insults because they tell more about the person using the insult than the person the insult is being directed at. Everything is a learning experience to me and I often learn more from a disagreement than I do with something positive. Good natured banter is fun, but rather boring over a computer. It is like "bar talk" where nothing of importance is said, but occasionally you meet someone who appeals to you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 There are good posts and bad posts. Opinions are varied and that is normal and fine. Some posts are very factual and some come from far beyond ignorant. They are simply stupid. Some posts border on the writer being an imbecile and are possibly from trolls just trying to stir things up. I certainly wouldn't want to live anywhere that I despised so the totally negative posts can be written off as trying to stir the pot and should be ignored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canman Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 If it was all happy happy joy joy it would be awfully boring, wouldn't it. Sometimes the negativity and the replies are quite entertaining. I form my own opinions and so am not bothered by those with a sour outlook on life. Sometimes it is hard to avoid sounding negitive when commenting on some aspects of thai culture such as getting away with murder if you are connected. Putting down Joe or Lek Somchai for what ever lack of skill or social graces you percieve them to be lacking in is really just a cheap shot as they surely have not had the advantages of a western education and culture that you have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
