Do you self-censor?

Do if the decent members are still here, what's the problem?

    After posting in any of the more general forums I only follow threads for a page or so - as many threads on TV degenerate into a pointless one on one spat by page 3.

  • I occasionally start typing a post, then once I'm about a paragaph in I think 'why even bother' so I press Alt-F4 which closes the current window and the post is gone.

  • Funny that, I just typed a lovely paragraph, then deleted it !

the truly entertaining members have been replaced by people like costas.

Problem is these days Costa's can't talk about his favourite topics either :o

Even if a quality thread....once the bickering/sniping starts it's not worthy to follow/comment at that point on.....

+1...sometimes not worth the time/trouble to get involved.

Least said, soonest mended

To answer your question SC - Yes.

My mommy always told me it's best to stay quiet and let people think I'm retarded, than open my mouth and remove all doubt. I'm told I'm a very quiet person.

This must be why everyone thinks I'm retarded. I'm sure it's not the slow speech and gimpy hand ;)

The Neanderthals seem to be absent lately.....in a mental health clinic, or just banned ? Anyway its nice and decent overhere last weeks. Civilization has returned.

The Neanderthals, as you mentioned, are in fact considerated to be quite peaceful individuals. They have NOT found anything to claim that they should be violent nor stupid or nasty to themselfs or others...

So maybe you are using the wrong phrase here..

If I didn't self sensor I'd probably be invited to an attitude readjustment session, or just shown the door.

Well, I've stopped using the D word and end all my posts with "All hail Dear Leader"

Think before posting; think twice before deleting...

Do you often bite your tongue on this forum and delete posts you have drafted

- for fear of being embroiled in a bickerfest with half-wits and neanderthals

- for fear of moderation, and the iron-fisted boot of petty conformity

- to avoid having a thread in your recent postings page, and rereading the same offensive drivel?

You'll be grateful to know that I do

SC,

Having read many of your posts, I must say your self censoring skills are commendable. If I had a modicum of those skills, I'd be only half the smartass that I appear to be on these forums..

I love you too.

Awaiting with anticipation to read your truly entertaining posts.

tought this was an open forum

as long as you are respectfull to the family that cannot be named

but apparently it isn't

thai-ad-all-over-the-place site with some rechewed content

specially double content in one section and you have to go to the forum to post / comment

for google , this would be seen as duplicated content with same ads

a ban from them, and the site can close as profits will be gone

Peaceful or not, the neaderthal are gone. The world is instead teeming with homo sapiens .

I'm preserving mine on here by not commenting on one particularly abhorrent....bullying and filthy thread.

What was the thread?

StreetCowboy post # 21

Free speech is best preserved by not abusing it

But who or what is the arbiter of free speech and its perceived bias or abuse?

Any "free" speech can be biased - just depends on what side of the fence you are sitting on whether you see the bias or not whistling.gif

What a relief......and there was me thinking I was the only one.

Yeah, I do. Not because I think I was writing crap, or that I don't believe in what I am saying. I just tend to ask myself if I feel strongly enough about it to engage in a full on forum skirmish about it.

My very first thread was what I thought to be relatively innocuous. Got some real personal comments my way, was not really expecting it to get full on. Like I say, don't mind if it does, just need to feel strongly enough about it. Usually I don't.

If I can offer help or a report I will do so, but there are some really knowledgeable and well informed people here and often the information is here already.

Perhaps benabilina's term, Neandrathal, should have been Homo Sapien, since it appears that is the human form to which all posters have degenerated. I simply get a kick out of so many of you being so wrong on so many topics.

Not often, but does happens...blink.png

90% the grammar.

I don't get why he is even on here,he does not live in Thailand and has said he hated it in the past,so why keep posting on a site about somewhere you hate?

With respect to certain Thai topics , yes , I have deleted .

Thaivisa.com is concerned too that members do not cast it in a bad light .

Think before you write , it is ofter possible to write a seeming complementary observation , in which readers can interpret what you really mean to say .

the only trepidation I have is typing something that the wife, looking over the fence from the other paddock, sees on-screen and doesn't like what I'm sayin'...

... happens a lot clap2.gif

Them Thais don't censor themselves when talking down farangs - but it's obvious the goalposts are heavily tilted to favour against us, the-french whiteys, having any right of reply

Nope! Never!

I suppose you self-censor because you feel a need to. If that is the case then you would be right in what you are doing. So keep up the Good Work! Even though we will never see it because it was censored.

I am more Jocko Homo than Neanderthals and thats why I don't post anymore or do .

Incomplete sentence. This is your first warning. 1zgarz5.gif.pagespeed.ce.GJfs_tQOQ-LbP_e
