We have absolutely nothing in common other than a link to Thailand,
and the love of trains.

Well of course it all comes down to one irrefutable fact.  Cecil Rhodes said, "you are an Englishman, and have subsequently drawn the greatest prize in the lottery of life.
However it is also said,
'' To be born English is to win first prize in the lottery of life". "   Some of us have a proper flushing toilet to p**s in, not that pot to put under the bed |

Yes we have posters who are shall we say ''abrasive.'' This place, as much as I like it, is tamer than the Ajarn Forum was and the TV is... I heven't been by the Teak Door in a long time, but I think it's probably equally tame. See, this is why this format, the forum board, is sadly dying. The kinds of folks who are attracted to this format aren't abrasive enough to keep the rest of us entertained. The BM will live on because its kind of a little boys club who can generate a few hundred hits per post. Otherwise, we're like the Rotary Club of the internet. I agree with your description, it's a very friendly place for old pals to chat but it doesn't exactly stretch the boundaries of lively and rigorous debating. I suppose that's by design but also a function of the volume of posters, unfortunately, I suspect you can't have high volume without attracting a few idiots in the process. I suppose it comes down to the needs of the individual as to which style of forum best suits them and what they can tolerate, personally, I enjoy the debate but a more relaxed environment is also appealing. |

BM came about as an extension of a PM group some of us were involved with on the dark side (TV)...it is suspected the PM group was "hacked" by the mods who were reading the messages and one by one most the group were banned for various reasons, usually for "calling" the BS'er, liars, blaggers and Walts on TV, but never done in nasty, rude way way, but relied on quick wit ,sarcasm, and truths Its tamer on here simply because half wits, blaggers, etc are not tolerated, your entitled to your opinions, without running foul of some fwit moderator with an agenda, as you have on TV... If you think Soutie is a kant...say so, but you had better be prepared to debate that statement... When its all said and done...The reason we are all here is because it was Toadys fault for asking "whats your favorite Thai rodent ?" In a thread on TV  |

Oh and do not forget that part of the mod and a certain hard core of posters, bookshop owners, and the left wing wolf in sheep's clothing Fabian society members etc uniform in the other place was and it seems still is one of these T shirts. Pus Plus plus their own coat of arms....  [img  |

The mere fact that this place exists is good enough for me, douben bonus is the fact that it p**ses certain people off.

Vlog #47alright~ Well heres some entertainment for you. See me and my girlfriend enjoy some brainless petting and making of funny noises at Bangkok's many pet cafes. I don't think I want to even debate the concept of pet cafes as I can't honestly defend it. There is however a value to making your girlfriend happy for a relatively low price and documenting such activities for people who wouldn't otherwise go into them. If it wasn't for my girlfriend I would also rather spend that 150 baht for a beer at a gogo bar (adult pet cafe) than on an overpriced smoothie  . (Btw, this hasn't gone public yet on my channel so you guys see it first!)
