Serial Posters. No Life Outside Thai Visa ?

[Eesat]

Half the posts here are aimed at Blether and seem to be quite spitefully written. If you don't like what he has to say, don't read his words. What's with the harassment I don't understand? Get over it.

Maybe his repetitive,sanctimonious diatribe gets rather tedious over time?

So does the mud slinging. Very tedious.

Yes but I think I'd be bitter and angry too if I was a middle-aged, commission-only, door-to-door life insurance salesman incapable of closing a fridge let alone a sale

You still haven't answered,who's an insurance salesman here?Is this your very sad attempt at provocation?What do you do for a living then or is it a secret like the other guy who seems very reluctant to tell us,quelle surprise!

[MrRealDeal]

Posting on the Internet may be the primary part of some peoples lives and perhaps not a good thing in your opinion, but it doesn't mean they are inferior to those that do other things instead.

Honestly,what do you expect though?If you were to come on a forum largely populated by expats as a certain type of "tourist",the type which neither the Thais or expats want here as it gives everyone a bad name.

You then mouth off at everyone,act like Mr Thailand who knows everything about life in Thailand when you're not even a resident,telling everybody exactly how they should live over here,when you've quite laughably never done it yourself!

Then claim ridiculously to be a millionaire and boast about giving 200 Baht tips as if you're some high roller and post more than people who have been members for 15+ years in a very short space of time!

What sort of reaction would you elicit I wonder?

Laughable.

[MrRealDeal]

I don't think this forum is especially populated by those types of tourists because the Rules prohibit those people from conversations they would wish to have and eventually they go to some other place more suited to their lifestyle.

Aaah, the Internet -

amykat, I'm afraid my skepticism runs very deep, but I can see no reason why a woman of any race would want to join this board. I've mentioned it before, but one of the most vocal 'feminists' on my other board turned out to be none of the following - 'Good', 'Thai', 'Girl'. Nope - just another bored guy sitting in a condo on Upper Suk. The irony of being duped by a female impersonator from Bangkok wasn't lost on me, but I still find it odd that someone would persist with a ruse like that over many months when he had one of the most exciting cities in the world literally at his front door. In hindsight, it did seem odd that a 'good' girl knew so much about the nightlife areas of Bangkok (!), but he/she succeeded in firing up some of the old misanthropes on that board - it was entertaining to watch a thread explode as soon as she threw her chips into the pot

This thread shows that most expats living in Thailand do not have a very exiting life.

@Andrew....I have said it before.....there are niches here hidden away full of wonderful and informative posts.

I think you'd be better suited to finding yours rather than bothering with this line any more.

Every day is yesterday on here.

Bravo. You're right and I'm stupid. It's time to move on.

I bought a book recently. You can see it here:

http://www.amazon.com/Samurai-Ayutthaya-Yamanada-Nagamasa-Japanese/dp/9744801476

I wrote to the author. I wrote to many other experts, too. And they agreed with my contention.

The last three letters in my GF's surname are ITO.

You can work the rest out by yourself.

Here's a little piece of trivia:

Take care of yourself here in Thailand.

More than a decade ago, a Canadian once gave me some great advice.

He said: "if you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone".

"The last three letters in my GF's surname are ITO."

OK, I get it now your an alcoholic and in love with rum and mint.

Back to the title of the thread. Somewhat flaming do you not think?

Thai Visa in my opinion has weeded out a lot of the idiots of a few years ago. It is greatly improved. It is a great place now to exchange thoughts and ideas, and to listen to others points of view. Additionally there is a wealth of very good information for which I am very grateful. And I have learnt a lot.

[MrRealDeal]

The "idiots" come back the next day with a different name ! But having to do that probably tones down their rhetoric a bit.

'exiting', whilst obviously a typo, does seem an apt description of some here.

Its not the fault of serial posters not having a life but it is the fault of their wives or G/Fs.

Lets start a self help list for Andy so he can build goals to be able to self manage his brain and control what and when he does things.

I'll start.

1. Learn to say NO. Try it now, repeat after me NO, NO. NO.

2. Take deep breaths, in through the nose, out through the mouth, slowly, close your eyes. Relax.

Very well put MrWorldwide.

IMHO I don't think we have a person here with the skills of Dame Edna sitting in a condo on Upper Suk.

But being a straightforward ordinary man she definitely isn't my cup of tea.

Anyway renee as the song goes, I bow to your superior worldliness.

Weeeeeeeeeell, as you quote forum rules, you are continually having a go at a member AND quoting false information. I suggest you back off.

[SeaVisionBurma]

The next flame or dodgy conspiracy post about phantom member matching will earn a holiday.

This thread is very close to biting the bullet as it is.

[bigbamboo]

Dear SinglePot,

NO, really, I wanted to know if the thread you were interested in, that had "long posts, of high quality, from interesting and intelligent members" could be the thread where we had some interaction ...because I found that thread broing at first, and then later, quite a bit more interesting. And I just didn't answer the apparent "rhetorical" questions, because of several reasons, mostly to do with potential flames, no matter what my answer.

Apparently, Boosta, has been banned since then, and he was a major part of that thread. I have no idea what happend, or why, to him?

Because maybe, I can't get a lot of "validation" in Thailand, being a white woman, I would love to know if I was part of an intelligent thread, "high quality" and all of that. I am really not trying to be sarcastic, as I think you have taken it!

What has being a white woman go to do with it?

Thailand is full of white women. Well, WHITENED anyway.

I certainly didn't. I moved here to get married.

While we're all focussing on our own narrow obsessions, I had the pleasure of the remarkable Castleford - Hull FC game as soon as I got home this afternoon. A cracking game of rugby, and a surprising home win for Castleford. Apparently their manager was coach of championship side Featherstone Rovers last year, when they dumped Castleford out of the Cup.

To judge from the feedback, people on this forum find the Superleague more palatable than your maligning of theBlether.

I am so glad I could be of assistance, in the monkey/bitten/Lopburi/avatar department. It's what we're here for.

A reasonable attempt at humour.

PS. Did you check out the rugby forums re: Street Cowboy's advice above? They're actually very good!

Nobody has commented on my new avatar.

Anyway, I've got a Scottish pal here, he's an author and he flew to Chiang Mai to see me last week. It's been a great pleasure having him here and we've been out to see a few sights. It's been great scooting around taking photos, here's one of the Iron Bridge in Chiang Mai.

So when I'm not at the gym / Jack's Van / Dinner dances / Muay Thai / Papas / Dinner Parties / Slow Boats To Laos / White Temple / Mae Ping National Park / chilling out with my farang friends / Thai friends blah blah.......I go take photos.

Then I sometimes post on here. That's my attempt at answering the OP.

Just in case you were wondering.

I agree, i for one was locked on keyboard for hours until two months ago my internet got disconnected by mistake, it had woken me up that i had too much weight, now i go out and enjoy life, i will not connected internet just yet, i am using internet at work which is useful and time consuming at work.
