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.
