Tc no one here is trying to play the condescending card. If you will go and read nicey(hey nicey no capital) has attacked people. Had he attacked opinion, no one would have gotten upset.

niceyOk blue collor is what you want here it is. Take a hike. I tried to tell you and defended you when other were calling for your ban. You cam e back and apologized. So much for that. Go learn some respect and grow up. Get off the hooch. If you remember I said everyone deserves a chance, and if they blow it, I will say later.

Later.

Hey I actually did that with no cuss words. Maybe my age has passed 15.

later

With all due respect to senior members and moderators, occasionally some of your posts in the forum can appear somewhat condescending.

Remember many new members like myself may not have the benefit of experience and knowledge of the Thai way of life, as you appear to have.

I am sure you would want to encourage new members and fresh input.

Regards

Your first point 'condescending' We merely use the power of the English language to defend ourselves against vile, sometimes libellous personal attacks.Unfortunately that is the only defence in a forum.

Your second.If you have read all of Mr niceys posts from the beginning, an attitude of" shaming and naming' You will realise we initially tried to give this person the benefit of our"experience and knowledge" of life, not necessary confined to" Thai way of life".This was rebuffed and the return attacks became very offensive.However the patience and wisdom of the members prevailed and Mr nicey seemed to understand and actually apologised. We welcomed this and encouraged him to start a new life. That is why, speaking personally, I am bitterly disappointed that he has apparently resumed his previous course.
It goes without saying, of course we welcome new members, whatever age. You will notice the profile gives no indication of age, that's deliberate.
But in any forum you must have ground rules and Mr nicey was breaking them on a regular basis.
It was very intersting to read your impressions, and I am sure many members as well as myself, will heed your comments.Thank you for them.

you will get many opinions on this forum TC , but if you dont agree with what these people say , they will attack you and try to discourage you from future discussions .
they seem to think that what they say is right and anyone who disagrees is wrong .
there are people on here who are more down to earth then others but there are one or two " dirty old men " with young wives / girlfriend , who try to defend their lusts .
no names mentioned .
i give my view , if its not accepted , then thats their problem .
i dont agree with answers if i think theyre wrong .

It seems, if he repeats your views(but with less tact!) there is a linch mob waiting to jump him.

Come on guys let folks have their say!

Ok Kevin from the Lynch Mob, if you go back to Mr. Nicey's first post you will find that I defended him and have Pm'd several times trying to help and making sure he was OK. I'm a working class guy as well, expressing your point of view can and should be expressed in a manner, beyond explaining that one's Sh-t has more inteligence then the poster, that is not a point of view it's an insulting and demeaning attack, at lot of difference.

Personaly I tried my very best to address him with kindness, but there is a point where he is responsible for his actions. As far as I'm concerned we are there.

I have been put in in a different a direction many times on the fourm, I'm here to learn and I'm not always right. So I listen and try to learn, what I don't do is attack someone if they don't agree with me. I have the power, I don't have to read it. This is somehting have choosen to do, to better my understanding of Thailand.

Why do I oppose flaming it is very simple when it gets to that level there is not longer anything to learn. I think we are all very capable of insulting other people nothing to learn there.

I did not make my comment based on this action by Mr. nicey but I have followed all that he has to say. It's the totality of his actions not one that makes me feel the way I do.

The people on this forum have offered him kindness and support in the ways they can. He goes from being accepting one day to the next day in the attack mode. Do you think I was kidding about the Meds. This is his life he wants to lead it that way, thats up to him. On the other hand mine is my life and I will pick whom I wish to be my friends and who I would not want to associate with. If I wished to assocaite with bitter expats I would go down to the bars where the bitter guys hang out drinking all day until they can no longer speak about how terrible this person is or that one and how stupid Thailand is thats easy to find here.

Everyone here has there days of rants, very normal, but for most on this forum it is not a way of life.

So if as others have going out of my way to try to help this guy, makes me a part of lynch mob, so be it, at least I have honorable company.

As to not being helpful to new people my apologies, if I have done that I'm truly ashamed and will try harder.

TUT TUT TUT , what a load of ****

Without a doubt - it keeps the forum 'fresh' - however we who have been on the forum a while give out advice and information to anyone who asks for our help and if there is any banter (especially from me) then it is with people who I know, have met and would call my friends and is accepted/given in the manner intended - to have a laugh and a joke with friends - thats it.

I will not accept a relatively new member coming on here talking to people he has never ever met, making assumptions about them and ultimately insulting them.

Interesting to note that much of the bad mouthing comes from those who do not live here usually and feel 'safe' to insult others with the knowledge they are 6000 miles away.
We are and always have/will be here to discuss things, disagree and share information with anyone who chooses to join in - however why does that mean we are subjected to personal attacks because our view is somewhat different to someone elses.?
It makes the world go round you know.

Regards
Paul
