    :meh: Go back and read my last post carefully. Understand that long time admins and moderators have seen 10s of thousands of threads and 100s of thousands of posts and can pretty reliably predict the direction any given topic will go and what types of posts will derail them. We see things you don't and understand the flow of online conversations much better than you. Just follow the guidance/requests posted by forum staff.

    Here is the section for topics/posts that are political/religious/clearly controversial AND have nothing to do with the Philippines or Dumaguete:
    https://dumagueteinfo.com/board/forums/controversial-subjects.11/
    Don't have access to it? Follow the directions to opt in.

    If you have a question or concern about form rules or something posted by forum staff start a new thread in the correct sub-forum:

    I am a forum administrator and moderator.
    I am taking about the Trump/US economy comments and discussions that were made in this thread, it has the possibility of turning into an argument or have further discussion. It is not allowed in this section of the forum. What is so confusing about this?

    There are sub-forums and opt-in sections on this forum for such discussions. You aren't prohibited from taking about it, the location in which you do so is what is being moderated. I'm not going to continue to hold your hands and walk you guys through figuring this out, I have explained it several times already and there are many threads dedicated to the forum rules where these exact questions have been discussed ad nauseum. Figure it out.

    Somebody else referred to foreigners he didn’t like as “scum”, not you. His attribution was not correct. Personally I tell people who refer to people that way to just give it up, flattery will get you nowhere.

    After having read these posts, some to be agreed with others not and some to be agreed in part and disagreed in other parts, IMHO I think his first post was rather distasteful in that it implied along with the reference to Angeles, which I may add I have never been to, that he was interested in only one thing. If you come to a place, why worry about whether the hotel you stay in will let you sneak someone past the reception desk? That to me was the dead give away and that with the other reference resulted in my response.
    After 20 years of marriage, the responsibility for 4 kids, mine and hers, the joy I have had in seeing them grow from their early years into respectful, educated and hopefully, responsible adults, I think I will leave something behind when I depart this mortal coil, that will be "nice memories. Hope so any way. I sincerely hope this gentleman will do likewise but I must admit ........ I am not going to hold my breath. Enough said.

    And is it not obvious that I am not talking about those type of 'streetwise' girls? Most of them can take care of themselves.

    I am talking about the young inexperienced girls given a big lie who are then affected badly when the lie is revealed.

    I own some sites that have from 900 members to one that has 6000+. I have always had to draw lines, so I agree with the Admins (always) as it's like being in their House and if I wished to patronize a site owner on how they should draw the line in the sand so to say........ I would at least send a private pm.

    As one site is strictly Philippines promotion I too deal with (boner-heads) <my term BTW. If let to be a anything goes thread, it always turns out badly. Persons start naming names, places, details of such hookups, numbers, address etc etc. I have rules on my sites and so can any member that wants to create their own....... so applaud to the Admins, as I always LMAO when wingnuts get tightened up.

    Added note. It is more respectful to pm an Admin if yah want to adust a few hairs...never get to ruffled IMHO..... Cheers!

    I think you don't understand the situation. My thread on the Farmers Market Forum is not for general discussion, it's for people selling livestock Period.

    The Admin moved the general comments from the Farmers market forum to Here. H Camper made a comment that was negative to my turkey thread.
    Nothing to do with taking it personally.

    Hope this helps.

    Hence why I am after the (Broad breasted White) which is a breed that is on most tables back in the West...and yes they are here. I found a Family that has one as a Pet. A male that is 14lbs approx. They said they got it from a Family friend that found it in Bacolod. My other choice would be the Bronze Breasted Turkey. These varieties have short breast bones and therefore grow extremly wide meaty breasts. Sure I will find what I want sooner than later,

    This post is about an unfortunate and sad incident about a German national getting shot, what the feck has your post got to do with this sad incident. Who gives a toss about you and what language you speak, IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU!!
