Well variety is the spice of life mate, plenty of places to meet farang girls in Phuket. They are drawn to the Bangla and Beach Roads just like everyone else.
Good hunting.

THIS as you state is the problem...............
Most people are her to be friendly, some new members, and some of the older group are just here to cause arguements..............
ARE they acceptable reasons to be on the forum???? Im not sure! I will, and alot of other on THIS SITE will answer alot of other posters questions about THailand and Phuket in particular. But I for sure don't want to contiunally answer abrrasive or confrontatual posts on this site! If the posters want an arguement, then ok, but join another site. Yeah, you wil answer the free speech arguement to this, but this is NOT a free specch enviroment. It is about people who like/love Phuket or Thailand, or those who want to find 'real info' about the place. Not for those who want to start arguements about every thing from differnent local cultural differeces, to for and against p4p scene, and everything in between. I could state many of the threads, but I will leave it for you and every other long term reader to come-up with such threads as I have better things to do like you.
Hope that helps you see my side of the arguement!
That aside, when are you back?????????????????

I guess the THREAT is that a good board can be ruined by a few whose heart is content on pushing an argument until it becomes a flame fest......
This is Nicke's board like it or not and he sets the rules in conjunction with his moderators who do a great and very difficult job IMHO.....and to their credit they haven't stepped in and given BMs a holioday until they step over the mark and start abusing all and sundry....
We used to have a board (until recently) where good info and fun was being exchanged in almost every thread....unfortunately now we get one or two people coming up with the indefensable and continuing to berate those who try to point out the sheer ridiculousness of their argument ad nauseum....it's boring.....no one is always right!!

That's exactly what we are doing! If we were willing to "dodge your criticism" we would simply keep quiet and let you post this rubbish about ALL western women being fat/*****es/power hungry/ anti Thai girls /whatever without responding.

I must say, you haven't even tried to understand for a second what I've posted to you. You keep on rambling about "seeing", turn it around and we're back to square 1.
I'll let it go, have fun with yourself.

I've seen it happen to another forum (a photography and gaming forum) and it went badly down hill after a while. Every thread had the same members looking for an argument and hid behind "its their view when insulting people" then they got the feeling their were untouchable. After a while all the helpful people left and it was left with the trolls and spammers

All his posts, as well as this Johnny twat, seem contravesal. Why be soo disruptive if you want to make friends on a board???????? So it makes me believe they dont! So I can't be bothered answering them.
If they want to post agressive shit, like they are doing, then fine. Let them post on there own board then!!!!!!!! BAN THE CUNTs!

lol, dont beat around the bush, spit it out man!
So-cal hopefully isnt quite the muppet in real life as he comes across as on the forum. If he is, well, hes likely to get hit alot as the years go by.
T'other bloke just seems up his own ar$e atm and not worth bothering with.

Probably not, but the mods get questioned for closing threads as well, so this can run provided its not a soapbox for J69 and his preachings.
The thread after all is allegedly "Western ladies in Phuket". Hopefully the subject will discussed hereon.

This board is not censored, it is moderated.
And if your opinions continually provoke arguments and ill feeling on the forum, you will be removed. You can take this as a warning from the moderators.
I have yet to see one post from you giving any valuable insight into your knowledge or experiences in Thailand. Try integrating with the board, not confronting it with your opinions.

i cant defend anything these guys do
you and I clearly dont care for each other but there is no way i could deny that although you have admitted that you like to sometimes play the devil's advocate that you do back it up with intelligent posts
these guys are here to cause disruption and nothing else

Yet others have stated that I an S0-cal have made some good points, I have contributed to the information of the forum on other threads aswell. I cannot help it if I see things differently, its quite obvious those who cannot change our opinions will instead badger us until we are banned, ohwell, sad but thats life.
All life is suffering.

PS I have let others have their say and intergrated, I for example have not been back to the Forum Tactics thread and don't intend too, so any carrying on on there is none of my doing.

I agree their tactics are somewhat crude or at least that the approach was kind of abrasive, but their motivation for being/posting on the board at this point is the question? Maybe not too different from our own. But, like I have said, we all post for different reasons and let's not forget that the au | |
