"newbies" on Udonmap - Welcome or not?

And your completely entitled to it however if you bother to read the thread thoroughly you will see that there are other people out here that feel even stronger than me!

So yourself!

I rest my case, if you cant even bother to look tghen there no point discussing it with you is there?

What was the question Galee? Like yourself I couldnt be bothered going back on the posts!

Ahahahhaahhah, Hey Im only using exactly what you did against me, against you.

Unlike you I didnt see the need to DROP TO YOUR LEVEL by calling YOU NAMES!

Dermot, the way you are carrying on, on this thread and the forum, is likely to get you a "Not Welcome" in answer to the OP's question. You are rapidly qualifying yourself as a troll.

Looking at your recent posts on this thread and on the "Are all Thai girls immature" threads, you do seem to constantly relish going to battle with other posters. You also seem to enjoy making mischievous or provocative posts, or responding in a rude, aggressive or petty manner. It's not good practice for a relative Newbie, or any poster, to be continually challenging other posters, nor is it within the spirit of the forum, or the rules.. In most people's books that would class you as a troll.

I've exchanged several PM's with you, and each time you reply in a conciliatory manner, saying you take my point(s) onboard and will endeavour to implement them, but you then continue as if you hadn't even read them, let alone taken them onboard.

I've taken the unusual step of posting this in open forum, in the hope that you will finally take these points onboard and adjust your behaviour accordingly.

Take note that trolls do get banned from this forum.

Im not a troll and just look at the insults being thrown my way arjay!

So in conclusion its ok to post once I know my place as a newbie then?

If thats the case aarjay, knock yourself out

I can't imagine I'm the only one considering visiting DermotMap less & less...

Lots of latitude granted already... Definitely OTT.

Definitely booooooooooring.

And off-putting.

Dermot, it's not who you are or what you are (or whether one is a Newbie or not). It's what you say and the way you say it that matters.

Over (and out).

this thread reminds me of two of my mates who had an arguement about the difference between a spade and a shovel.

hey you wrote:this thread reminds me of two of my mates who had an arguement about the difference between a spade and a shovel.

if you don't know the difference between a spade and a shovel, there really is no hope..!!!

G'day to all UdonMap Members

I have been an avid reader of this Forum for the past two years and have finally taken the plunge to register as a Member. The information provided here has been of immense value to me in my travels and dealings throughout Thailand and I am continually learning more about life, love, trials and tribulations as a farang in LOS. This Forum is an outstanding resource and I certainly commend the facilitators on a fine job.
I have been travelling frequently to UT and NK Provinces from the island of Little Penguins in Australia, having recently decided to semi-retire and work the soft option of being an investor and community volunteer. I am fortunate to be in a situation whereby I have a number of options available to live and possibly work (paid or volunteer), or even start a business, and am looking forward to setting up a residence in the Isaan Region in the not too distant future with a most wonderful local lady who has captured my heart. The process is slow but sure.
It is a daunting experience being a 'newbie', much like the first day at School or a new job though I feel I have an affinity with many of the Udonmap Members. I have, no doubt, seen many of you in various establishments in recent times throughout Udon Thani with a glance, a smile or a congenial acknowledgment. I look forward to learning more from the experienced members and will be more than happy to meet up in the future to put a face to a name, find a few new cobbers, have a few bevies and chew the fat. I recall being at the Night Market one time and seeing what I presumed were Members meeting, though I was hesitant to meet at that stage because I was getting my head around Som Tam and the Towers .... I do know what Towers are and those beer Sheila's are very cute but drinking beer with ice is to be outlawed!

Cheers
