    What is a forum like this without different meanings. Either it is political or just just between people. I have allready several times written "hard to swallow" things.Normally this is not directly to one person .Sometimes it is based of my own experiences.Sometimes it is also based on (should we call it reputation).
    I think we all should be so open-minded that we take that for what it is.Something to look for by ourselves. Will I fit this categorisation.

    Cause It is not to be putted under the carpet that I have heard a lot thrugh these years in DGTE. Whish proves a lot of bad attitudes.And the I dont mean those by drunk people.

    "Some" of you will think that this is stupid to speak out like this. Easy to get "enemies".

    Well, friends which cannot stand to hear something like this, isn't worth having anyway.

    Maybe this is a little "naive" thinking, and maybe I then fell directly into the Norwegian "reputation":D

    Al, sad to hear, but I am always up for a beer...

    there are some thousands of forums around, DI is special, cause we allow characters... We know we walk sometimes on thin ice, but unlike the board you are a hero, our goal is NOT to bring people to our own dating and gambling sites... Our goal is to inform, discuss, criticize and have fun.
    I stir up some controversy (sh@# would be the right word but not political correct) and for that I have to take punches, I f I would not be on top of that I could not run the board.
    Al, I don't mean it bad, but we want more than stupid smileys, a "yes Boss" and banning people (like RHB is on that useless UK dating copy/paste-board) just because they have a different opinion and maybe not enough english words (like I miss out on the right words many times). We love characters, even we don't agree with them. (one day I get a second ID and post what I really want to say...)
    again, sad to hear, but thanks for all your valuable posts...

    cheers and peace

    Rhoody

    It is important that this forum provides a WELCOME forum for all points of view. None of us would learn if it didn't and have an opportunity to change our position in some cases or give a restaurant a 2nd chance or whatever. It is also important to provide TRUTH and FACTS here so that unknowing visitors/tourists to the beautiful Philippines are not embittered by bad experiences. It is a shame that some people can't seem to voice their opinion in a constructive and positive way. It is also a shame that some are so willing to attack other opinions and I do mean ATTACK! We can all agree to DISAGREE but to ATTACH and INSULT another is quite a different manner.

    Thanks Rhoody for keeping the forum clean. It is not pleasant when others start ranting and raving their bad words which carry no meaning at all nor any helpful insight or value.

    We can be PASSIONIATE and also peaceful! Those that like to war then feel free to FIGHT AMOUNGST yourself since no one cares to hear it (oops..read it). I am only interested in well thought out debates/discussions and not slanders. hmmm......you would think that some are involved in politics.......hehehe....

    Rhoody, after being the mediator on this forum you definitely QUALIFY to mediate the upcoming Presidential debates! It is sure to get UGLY!

    surprised

    Al, I'm very surprised about your second posting regarding to leave the forum.
    I even was positive regarding the content of reactions of DI members during the last weeks.
    I myself had a period in which I thought to retain from reacting to certain people since they were constantly attacking and insulting others without for me any thinkable reason.
    These people have now either left the forum or Rhoody is screening like hell and get their postings from the board without us having seen them.
    I also felt better because another person was inactive for some time, so I did not have to get irritated by his arrogant postings.
    I try to read all the postings (what is not fully succesfull).
    Maybe I have missed some postings which have unpleasantly "touched" you.
    I have learned to a certain extend to neglect the offensive postings, hoping they will soon stop if everyone keeps silent.

    BTW: If you still want to have some coconuts ............ there are enough waiting for you here on our place AL ! :smile:

    All I can say I enjoy reading this forum from the start, with diffirent people inside bad, good, shy, pretender,joker, or what more? This is a colorful world.I don't like a forum whom this are this people who try other to teach to behave like them( We are all diffirent).Well I like to suggest to stop this people who are also only a member here that indirectly suggesting what kind of people they like to exist here.Then it's better Rhoody or the Dane put a a specific announcement what kind of people they like to become a member here.So that for those who think they are not fit will not post or become a member anymore.Anyway this is a forum we are not in a workplace, that's why I like "freedom".As long as there's no somebody have bruises, or been punch physically here.I liek this forum as it is from the start.

    Alan, you will be missed, but "don't let the bastards get you down", to quote Kris Kristofferson.
    We will miss the lessons from the Teach, but for your example by demonstration, the world (read forum) will and could go to hell in a hand basket. What better way to combat negativity than with a positive example? Your post always exemplified that.

    Personally I think this forum is quite tame by standards of others that I have been associated with. What amazes me is the cultural diversity here, and why no one has killed anybody yet, is a tribute to the tolerance of most of the members. Where else could you have a rude German, self important American, an angry Aussie, not to mention YABS, Mr. Bigot himself, sorry if he might be from the UK, I am not sure, but certainly reason not to generalize about nationality or race. Then there are those dutchmen, pinoy, and Koreans.

    Some speak here as if they were in a vacumn, not aware that they might be insulting anothers ilk, or maybe they don't care. It's normal but certainly within the power of the moderators to control. We all might run "our" forums a little differently, but this one has grown to become a community, despite the angry voices, the wrangling, the opinion, but it becomes somehow self regulating in a way. No one gets away with anything for long, members become savvy, and recognize the personalities with agendas, shortcommings, short tempers etc.
    Buck up lad, I hope you post some more Teach musings and historical trivia. Certainly that adds to the balance here.
