Re: Bangkok - Sunday morning
Rene it is sad that a member of 30 months feels that way about posting to this forum in future.
The behaviour of several posters and their egos, have made this forum in recent months anti social and not welcoming to any opinion that disagrees with their own.
There is now a lot more former posters using PM's because of those half dozen and their abusive posts.
But those who have been around for some time and watch the trends, have noticed changes which might be positive.
Forget those whose lives revolve about putting others down. Please make your posts and see if things are in fact changing.
Re: Bangkok - Sunday morning
Rene, whoever you are... You need thick skin to post here. Anyone can attack you so set your expectations accordingly and be prepared to just ignore people who don't justify their attacks. Otherwise, don't post.
Lonely... welcome back.
Re: Bangkok - Sunday morning
By all means POST. It's not like you have to reply every day to each and every post
you read here without knowing shit like some people do. Those airheads have thick skulls.
Re: Bangkok - Sunday morning
Rene:
Please post often. Thanks for sharing your information and the photo.
Don't be concerned about what someone says, consider the source!

Good advice for anyone - and might I respectfully request it be considered by those who regularly - and predictably - go off on wild "ins*lting" tangents to comments that challenge them?
Spirited discussion is one thing; perversely debating delusions and situations with no possible means of proving it is quite another.
Rene - you just go ahead and post away and don't sweat the small stuff (and trust me, the folk who will chime in with the nonsense are truly small change).
Smiles sent me this advice in a PM the first time I got slapped here needlessly within a month of joining five years ago, so I'm passing it along.

DON'T WALK AWAY RENE!

Re: Bangkok - Sunday morning
I just came back to my hotel after a busy day and was shocked to see all the nice responses. I wasn't expecting this. OK, once I get a few of my thoughts collected and make some time between whoring around the bars, I'll put together some news and photos for the forum. See you soon. Rene

Rene - I have to tell you my experience was the opposite. With the exception of one ignorant comment (deftly addressed by another member), I had excellent feedback from the community to my post. Granted, it's my only post and my future experiences may not be as positive, but I was pleased with the responses. I think you almost have to adopt a Ghandi-like approach to online communities and if you'll permit the paraphrase: be the change you want to see in the world.
I liked the photo, by the way.
