LOL. When can I breathe out? Be careful about that breathing out
thing. It is a killer! When I first saw the Lion King on Broadway, I
took a gasp when I saw the first scene. I took a very deep breath in.
Luckily for me, I too knew I needed to breath out. Same Same?

Not that any of the above is important. I don't think it is. I just
find it amusing that people on this board are so caught up in trying
to attack others and find a way to insult them or take them down in
any way. Actually, I don't find it amusing at all. I find those that
have little life other than to attack others and create negativity are
sad individuals. The strength of this board should be to encourage
others and to express common ground. I have never really understood
the Hedda or Gaybutton issues. But, it seems that anytime anyone does
something that they construe as different or competitive to this board
that the nails come out. What I find most comical is that I don't
feel the owners or moderators of the boards feel the same as those of
you with venom. In my opinion, I find that the people who put forth
the sweat and time with websites related to gay Thailand want to work
together and cooperate with other.
For those of you that can't seem to say anything nice about anyone or
try to create any good energy, there is a good doctor in town who is
always in need of financial assistance. He is one who is trying to do
good with others to help make Thailand a better place for others. If
he received one dollar for every nasty comment made on a message board
here, he would be able to build a much-needed facility.
I don't often respond to those on this board who are out to criticize
everyone and everything. All I can really say is that in the grand
scheme of things is the fact that I sent out a newsletter that says
8,000 visitors a day when on some days we have less and on some days
we have more really all that important? Perhaps it goes to
credibility? Perhaps we can chuck it up to salesmanship? Or, just
perhaps I have too much time on my hands to respond to this post and
others have too much time on their hands as well?
This post is not aimed at Paulg who started the thread. It is
something I have wanted to say for a while. After sitting last week
with a group of 4 others who have posted on this board in the past,
and none do so anymore because of the nasty nature of some of those on
the board, I wondered what the motivation was to be so nasty. I can't
figure it out. For those that don't like my board (when it is live
and someone posts) don't go there. For those that don't like what
GayButton has to say, don't read it. For those that don't like what
Hedda does, avoid her. But, for goodness sake, grow up. I find this
board informative and very useful to me as a traveler to Thailand. I
found GayButton's site very useful on my first trip here and I always
enjoyed reading his take on things. I don't know why I can't access
them now in Thailand. But, I will just bet that the ones who are
being nasty and bitter on here had something to do with it. What they
don't realize is that it doesn't just hurt GayButton or ElephantSpike;
it hurts us all. Repeating what I said earlier: for goodness sake
grow up!
Peace and love!
