why do posters tell other posters if they dont like something about Thailand they should just bog

[n210mp]

I mean what does it add to any topic for a poster to be nothing more than insulting in denying another poster of his opinion and then using that most malicious comment "If you dont like it here than get out and close the door behind you"

I often think that the poster who uses this type of abuse, for abuse is what it really are always short of coming up with any interesting, relevant or informative answer but must feel so inadequate that have to be derisory and insulting to boot in telling someone to bog off!

Another phrase I just love and I think one or two posters have taken it on board and that is: "Just saying!"

Well I am , Just saying!

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Before this thread gets a roll on, can we just assume everyone is 'JUST SAYIN' to save the bandwidth ?

[Costas2008]

Never heard of that before, OP.

Are you sure it's happening?

posting it in all capital letters doesn't really save bandwidth.

Have you not come across the ex sas type i have in numerous bars in and around,you know the type the all knowing argumentive type,thailand breeds em it seems.

When nobody listens to them it's off home turn on the pc/laptop and vent off here or in numerous online games i play on my pc,i don't miss my home country but it was tranquil compared to here,just a phase of getting used to the daily crap one comes across like the different culture etc.

Ok sermon over i gotta go to church lol.

I get it!

[Somtamnication]

Because they are a lonely, sad, angry pitiful bunch. No other reason, really.

[Seastallion]

It's very oversensitive and OTT PC to say that it is "abuse".

I don't think it's "abuse" at all. For heaven's sake, abuse is insulting language, not a rebuke.

It's another way of saying, "if the fire's too hot, get out of the kitchen" to people who appear to be completely intolerant of many of Thailand's unavoidable characteristics.

For some people, it's good advice and I'm sure offered with the best of intentions.

Indeed, if you feel that sort of comment is abuse, perhaps you should stop reading TV?

And close the door after you.

Just saying, because I want to waste bandwidth.

[transam]

Ahhh, talking about bands, time to listen to ZZ Top...............

[jacky54]

"If you dont like it here than get out and close the door behind you"

If the OP thinks this sort of thing is 'abuse' he should try looking at some other forums!

[Aussieroaming]

Ahhhh your thread is so original...thank you

OP:

It's because some people are such chronic complainers and malcontents about Thailand and do so in such a rabid and irrational and inconsolable manner that the only reasonable response is to suggest that they find somewhere else more to their liking to live.

Also some posters on these forums, known as "misery merchants," who for a variety of reasons have been disappointed by Thailand (most often in matters of the heart) have made it their sole raison-d'etre in life to belittle and poison the joie-de-vivre of anyone who claims to be happily married to a Thai women or claims to even be modestly content living in Thailand. Here too, asking them why they don't seek out somewhere more to their liking to live seems to be an entirely rational and appropriate response to such posts.

Weeeeeeell, don't think that is quite true. I have nooooo problems except a couple of UK murdered kids ain't getting their wasted lives sorted. ............

[JLCrab]

Per post #18 no problem until they seem to have the need to make such declaration like a Hallmark greeting card on a near daily basis.

why do posters tell other posters if they dont like something about Thailand they should just bog

Because you dare to criticise their paradisaical world, and thus, like little kids with little brains, there is no other way to react other than to throw their toys out of the pram and tell you to go away.

Yes you basically summed up my thoughts on the matter and for those whose dissent is so magnificently acidy, it seems that they themselves could be reacting and maybe the main culprits, in other words they (the dissenters) seem to protesteth too much eh Dave?

OK and I do accept that whilst the word "abuse" may have been a little strong, telling some one to get out of the Country also seem a little strong because of a difference in attitude or opinion!

[n210mp]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

No problem always knew that I would get a great response like yours from somebody or other.

[n210mp]

Ahhhh your thread is so original...thank you

No problem at all and please remember that there is nothing new on Thai Visa forums, in including your very own one sentence contribution to this thread.

Every posted thread being reposted and done to death in one form or another until its long forgotten and then brought back to life again or reincarnated ,,,,,,,,ask George.

In fact come to think about it your comment fairly fits the bill, I wonder how many times some "Wit" has used exactly the phrase as you to put some one in their place?

Actually not a question.....Just sayin!

If you don't like it, get off the forum.

Maybe* it's because they actually agree with the poster, but can't admit it to themselves because then they would be in the wrong place. They rarely actually offer any constructive argument as to either

a ) why things are the way that they are; it's easier to accept things that you understand

b ) or why the issue of concern is not a major issue

c ) or how to minimise the problem of concern.

* But, as anyone familiar with Ray French will tell you, there's no point speculating. None at all, Allan.

I used to work with people with mental handicaps. One fellow tried to work in the kitchen but kept passing out from the heat. The doctor told him not to go in the kitchen anymore. I believe the doctor said "if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen." Most people without mental handicaps know this. Apparently not thought from what you are saying.

[Sayonarax]

Bog? Hope its not the Aussie slang word.

I'll drop a bog, mate.

A thread where the non-complainers complain over the complainers!

No wonder "general topics" are fading away slowly!!

Whatever happened to all the crazy/funny/intelligent posters with their rants, that made this a fun place to visit??

[StreetCowboy]

They followed advice, and left
