Jingthing Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Questions for the candidates? Perhaps some of you would like to pose QUESTIONS to the candidates so that you better judge them? Candidates can choose to answer or not except theblether who is indisposed. Of the current front runner, I would like to ask him about his feelings and direct experiences concerning Pattaya baht buses. Or maybe he thinks he can get away with just sitting on his comfy lead without bothering to ask the pressing questions of his potential constituents? What do we really know about him anyway? Myself, I am ready and willing to answer (or evade) any and all voter questions posed by the global audience here. Perhaps some kind of "debate" can be organized. Smokie?

Jingthing Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Pictured above: Jingthing represented as Torta Ahogado de Guadalajara, spicy, porky but jewcy, edgy, risky, and interesting. Just might give you the runs! David48 represented as Processed white bread (heavy on the corn syrup sugar) w/ Lite mayo, predictable, mainstream, safe, empty calories, easy on the tummy, suitable for the unchallenged palates of children (as avatar indicates). Over the long run, leads to morbid obesity. theblether represented as a Haggisburger, truly revolting to the masses, but an acquired taste, not that there's anything wrong with that I think these leading candidate PRODUCTS are now well differentiated for your voting pleasure, don't you agree?

Puccini Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 This poll is a complete sham. One member single-handedly chooses 20 members and puts them up as candidates for Poster of the Year. I fail to understand why anybody should vote in this poll. I have lost whatever respect I previously had for smokie36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Are there any "counting geeks" out there who can tell me how many posts I've done this year? That way I can quantify my rock solid promise: 75 percent reduction in posts next year if I win! with a number! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSmiles Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 This looks more and more like the government and the amnesty bill. First there is a nomination for post of the year, then at the last minute when the votes are made, they change the subject to poster of the year and amend the title of the first thread. Seems the Shinawatra's have infiltrated TV now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to understand why anybody should vote in this poll. I have lost whatever respect I previously had for smokie36. Mate, you're not being really fair to ole smokes. Indeed this did start out as 'Post of the Year' as you would see from his thread in General started about 3 weeks ago ... http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/686840-poster-of-the-year-competition-2013/ ... but the calls from the members to make this into a Poster of the Year competition was overwhelming. ... what was he to do? So, everyone who read the initial thread, nominated someone else ... not them self. Sure, it might have been a bit messy, but given what he was faced with, an admirable effort.

krisb Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I have decided where my vote will sit. This guy went the extra mile in his community by doing something pro active. Getting off his butt and making a difference and that is rare. It was something to be admired for imo and well done Weegee! Nice to see expats out there care about things other than being popular on a forum and what's for dinner. Well done Weegee! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what happened LAST YEAR, things can move majorly and rapidly at the very last minute! So Wonder Bread Dude, will you debate or not?!? I hereby CHALLENGE you. Do you accept or decline? Voters, are you going to reward the candidate who sits on his lead and avoids the issues? Or give a chance to the challenger who welcomes open discussion and debate?

I fully agree with you JT..I'd love to see a debate...A mass debate would be eye opening for sure Unfortunately theblether is banned...so he will find it difficult to debate you. Basically, you are competing for 2nd place with a banned member Now, I don't want to burst all you candidates bubbles, but only 90 members have actually voted, out of a claimed 160,000 or so Edited December 30, 2013 by BookMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
