That's enough for now.

[Nirish guy]

Surfcrest saved that forum, paid for it hosting for years and spend a lot of his private money to give all of us pleasure to read and write here. Please pay respect.

No one is disputing that nor showing disrespect - but as board members who contribute to the board we are of course entitled to ask / have an opinion.

[Nirish guy]

I was subjected to all sorts of ridiculous allegations and lies. ..........
Perhaps we should all take a brief time-out and count to ten.

So, talking of lies and things being made up and in peoples heads - so are you still claiming to be that 20 something guy posting from Singapore - or have you moved on past that particular line of bullshit ( for now) I wonder ? I can't help but think that if it wasn't for people like you posting shit then a lot of us wouldn't be having these conversations in the first place so perhaps YOU should take some time out and think about that before coming back here and telling the rest of us what to do.

I agree and also think it is OK to ask for an explanation for a particular executive decision. And after that explanation is given (or not), maybe there should be one more chance to appeal it but after that, whatever executive decision that is taken should be accepted as final so that the board can move on. It doesn't mean that there should be endless goading of the moderator and his decision because we don't like it. It's funny how people support a moderator's decision if it goes their way, saying it it is his board after all and it is up to him what he wants to do with it BUT they get all upset and petulant when the decision is not in their favour. I mean do we get endless avenues of appeal in a court of law, or when we approach our sports coach over a dispute? It seems to me that a moderator is only good when he is on our side but not when he is isn't. It's a tad hypocritical, IMHO.

[Nirish guy]

I'll assume you're not directing your above at me as you couldn't be farther from the truth if so.

I note you didn't answer my question by the way re the whole 20 something guy from singapore etc - any update on that line of bullshit for this week or are you going to keep that running a while longer just to ensure your own personal shits and giggles perhaps ??

I have never asked anyone to believe who I am. I am who I am - you can choose to believe me or not to believe me. If people are hung up on it, they should ask themselves why. I don't believe it when a 70+ fat guy claims Taiwanese hunks are knocking down his door, but other than finding it mildly amusing I don't really think about it - in fact I don't want to think about it. I certainly don't bang on about it ad nauseam - whatever for? My posts are really quite benign and mostly deal with day-to-day observations of life in Thailand and general musings about life in general. I can't imagine why anyone would get worked up over them, what with people dying in Syria everyday.

No, I can't tell you what to do. That is something you have to figure out for yourself. All I can say is that I have found the forums quite useful, fun and entertaining and I have felt a sense of camaraderie from fellow posters. Young/old, fat/thin, white/black, rich/poor, expat/tourist - I can benefit from all their perspectives (or not). It is not a competition but a buffet from which I have the luxury of partaking. If I don't like something, I can easily skip over it. I left the playground fourteen years ago and old enough now to know not to sweat over the unimportant things.

sglad: Nirish asks, "so are you still claiming to be that 20 something guy posting from Singapore?" How about a simple "yes" or "no" reply? That's the claim you made when you started out on this board. Never mind the "I am, who I am" evasive bullshit.

I wasn't being evasive and something is not bullshit because somebody doesn't know how to read it closely. I am the same sglad who joined this board a few months ago, who is the same sglad who joined Gaythailand where I made a similar intro. I have had no need to change my identity or board name. I am who I am.

Oookay, ok you caught me - I give up! I aaam a few months older, my hair is a bit shorter, my Thai language skills have improved a lot and I have picked up a few words of kammeuang. Sorry for not coming clean with that. Muah!

[bobsaigon2]

Thanks for confirming that your bullshit will continue unabated. He's all yours, Surfcrest. I've had enough.

[sglad]

He's all yours, Surfcrest. I've had enough.

Isn't that what you said the last time you quit the board which was only a few weeks ago, wasn't it?

Brad made a quip somewhere about a447 having had more farewells than Frank Sinatra. Copy and paste here, please.

[Moses]

And yes, bobsaigon2, I'll keep doing it Myyyyy Waaaaay. Muaahhh.

If you will "keep doing" that , then hurry up please : time may be very limited.
