The Phony Farang Syndrome

[TuskegeeBen]

The following is a topic the forum Moderator will probably padlock, eventually, but here goes anyway.

I have it on good authority that a huge constituency of Thais, actually view the over-all Farang population, with a considerable measure of mirth. This is mostly due to the abundant lack of solidarity within the over-all Aussie, American & British, triangularly-related expat communities. I have also heard from several Thais, that many farangs have a gossiping habit of “bad-mouthing” other farangs, in the presence of Thai people, e.g., the "gf", who then “talks” further on. FYI ~ Despite their smiling faces, Thai people do not respect foreigners, who behave in that manner. That being said, I’ll be moving progressively along.

Since the government salaried suits are gonna do, whatever their regulated mentality dictates, especially during this current global “ism” mania trend, I take it, as a given, that the Thai version of the NSA “Snoopy” types, are constantly hanging around the TVF website, 24/7, and, on this Farang Pub, in particular. It’s the nature of the surveillance beast, I suppose, so more power to them, and Happy New Year, 2016.

During the past 4 months, I’ve compiled a list of poster personality profiles (my own included), together with their reply posting mannerisms. Academically speaking, I do believe that many posters on this forum, are actually Thais “posing” as NES farangs. My rationale is based on the fact that I’ve never before seen, in my 72-years, such an arcane collection (on any forum) of such temperamental western expats, crouched like “Pit Bulls” (at their desktop monitors), awaiting any excuse to vent their life’s frustrations, against another expat poster (whom they have never actually met), and, @ the slightest provocation.

For example, as recently as December 31, last, I posted a comparative “on topic” reply comment, regarding the cultural character differences between Thailand & Vietnam. My comments were not in the least bit inappropriate (according to TVF rules & protocols) or even berating of Thailand. Indeed, my comments were based solely upon my own objective observations, as a foreigner, within both cultural environments.

Ditto, the exact same (abundantly seen on the forum) posters replied, as if I had just urinated into their personal rice bowls. There appears to be a genre constituency of certain posters, who’s English “writing” composition skills, are excellent, yet their “reading” comprehension skills appear to be severely handicapped. That much is evidenced, by the disproportionate tone of their written replies.

Are there any other real farang posters, who have made similar observations? And yes, I already know that I’ll receive a barrage of bigoted, reversed finger-pointing replies, from the usual “Pit Bull” gallery. No worries about that, since I’m not one of those “thin-skinned ” snitchers, who clicks the report tab, whenever the Pit Bulls begin to bark & snarl @ me.. Happy New Years to all, and cheers!

And in violation of this forum rule as well:
