When it becomes Personal - Posting

[thailiketoo]

Give up your faith. After I gave up on this I went to a thread that had hit 6 pages which I had previously not read. And blow me, who should come in and derail it it but Mr and Mrs Pedantic!!! The same back and forth off topic whiny b***ching that they did here. I don't know if they are a double act or one is stalking the other but it seems nowhere is safe from these two.

The thread you are writing about was a question, "What weapons can I carry" (In Thailand). But, what was being written in that thread? "Move to 2003, Bush The Stupid, went further than dear old dad, and removed Saddam, for as it turns out, for no real reason, certainly not out of a compassion for the Iraqi people, more likely a Texas Oil Man wanting to get his hands on Iraqi oil."

Shouldn't someone say that is off topic and that it's about time to forget about Bush?

I made the statement that the usual anti American discussions were off topic in a thread about carrying guns in Thailand and got jumped on by the usual suspects.

Don't you get tired of it? Someone should say something and I did. Sorry.

We're all capable of reading the thread ourselves. Must you keep repeating bits of it?

I would have changed the word...ALL...into SOME and added in your sentence somewhere.....COMPREHENSIVE

"We're some capable of reading the comprehensive thread ourselves"?

I think it made more sense my way.

[SoiBiker]

Don't you get tired of it?

I think we're all getting pretty tired of it by now.

[thailiketoo]

So thats another thread ruined. And once again its the same old culprits Mr and Mrs Pedantic. I'm out of here.

It is a bit sad that, what could have been a genuine open discussion about how you view threads did take this path.

I'm yet to read all the posts yet ... maybe some members have steered it back on the straight and narrow.

I have Faith (though it wears a little thin sometimes)

The OP asks the poignant question , "So, do you also give a positive preference to a Member who you like, who has a similar mind set to you? I will admit ... sometimes I do"

Yep. It's the crap pumped out by that moronic clique that messes up this forum.

"Never were so many column inches wasted by such an untalented few"

Got to agree on this.

There are about 3 or 4 of them and the subject matter is very repetitive.

I find it easier to just ignore them and let them have their fun.

The in-jokey nonsense does get a bit tiresome. Maybe they could confine that stuff to their own thread rather than spread it across the forum, seeing as only a handful seem to be at all interested in it.

I would suggest you got your answer to that part of your question.

The OP also asked, "The OP, "Do you play the Man and not the Ball? And, not to bore you but I listed many examples of that in a previous post.

I think you have done pretty well so far.

If he wants to read the posts he can scroll back up the page. You don't have to post them all again.

I guess it's good to have something to forward to.

I understand where David is coming from, in his initial post, though.

I am sure it will be Ray French commentating the Grand Final on the BBC, so I might listen on the wireless, and record the Astro coverage for the next day, but if it were anyone else, I might watch the television.

Ah, so now you are talking about another thread that talks about a different matter entirely to the subject that the thread was opened about.

Yeah, definitely not derailing this thread are you?

I was answering Sigurris's comment. Is that now allowed. Read the post and see. Would you have let Sgurris think that I was derailing a thread or fill him on the truth he had not seen?

Sorry but a guy that I have known since I was knee high to a grasshopper (he used to clean my mother’s windows on 42^nd street) told me to come over to this thread, as thailiketoo was having a total meltdown.

Glad that I dropped by to catch the show.

Now please, stay on topic.

The OP has a question for you. "Do you play the Man and not the Ball?"

You wrote, "as thailiketoo was having a total meltdown."

I guess you answered the OP's question.

You've gone to some effort to make this thread all about you. It's only natural that people might discuss your behaviour.

The point of the OP was do you play the man or the ball. If you think one of my posts is a total meltdown then quote it and post it. Just saying I'm having a total meltdown is a kindergarten name calling exercise that is referred to as an ad hominem post.

I know you think it's OK to mock posters on Thai Visa. But that is not what the rules say. You have insulted me and that is against the posting rules.

If you think one of my posts is a total meltdown then quote it and post it.

I think it's more of a cumulative effect.

That was what the OP was about. Do you play the Man and not the Ball? So, do you also give a positive preference to a Member who you like, who has a similar mind set to you? I will admit ... sometimes I do ...

And you do too.

Awww diddums. TLT is taking his ball home and not playing anymore.

You are still playing the man. We get it. You don't like me. OK . You have answered yes to the topic more than enough times and everyone now knows you can't separate personalities from posting.

[thailiketoo]

No I'm still here confounding you all with logic and facts and pointing out that you are all trolls and can't stop attacking me and start discussing the topic.

I don't even know you.

I'm judging you by what you've posted, which is a whole load of repetitive, angry, confused, off-topic nonsense.

[mrtoad]

No you took the thread and tried to personalise it. There is a difference in disliking a person, to disliking a behaviour

Hey Timbuctoo, I read many of your posts, they are crap. Think you must sit back and re-think stuff, why, well, many of us think the same.............

So you have had an opportunity after every post to push the quote function and demonstrate the accuracy of your opinions. But you chose instead of criticizing any of the words I have written to call me names. One says I'm having a meltdown, another calls me diddums, you call me angry and confused.

You are playing the man. Don't you see that? If you have found any of my posts angry and confused quote them; you said the effect is cumulative so there must be a number of them.

[harrry]

I hate being called a racist by some folk on a regular basis just because I disagree with the killing of the innocent by a particular group, but anything else like, numnut, not the sharpest tool in the shed, old man etc, I am sort of OK with............

As long as the right amount of air is in the tyres.

No - I said your posts were angry and confused. I'm not calling you names.

Remember that here it is a Social Media forum. We are talking about and to people. It is not an encyclopaedia.

Lol. Hilarrious TLT aka CMK.

You personslised the whole thread and now you are playing the victim.

I blame Clinton he's the one who banned imported automatic weapons. A decent Uzi costs a fortune now.

[thailiketoo]

The gang is now trying to have the thread closed because of bickering. Sorry David. If you look back at the posts you will see I have never attacked anyone and was only responding to name calling and flaming. But since I won't back down the name calling will get worse ending up in a thread closure.

The gang beats a lot of people on here. But I'm not going to give up. Why should I. I'm on topic. I am getting attacked and a perfect example of playing the man and not the ball.

It is easy for all you to get back on topic. Stop attacking me. I never throw the first blow but if you punch I'll punch back.
