How well we know each other

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Not to brake any confidentiality but I do wonder if you are a real Doctor Doc67? You are intelligent and well written.
I'm betting he's no more a doctor than I am a lawyer!
Does that mean you won't be able to sue me if I amputate the wrong leg? That's a relief...

Surely a real Brit would say 'a pint' rather than a beer. :beer3:

Maybe Batshitcrazyweirdo, maybe GavinMac, nobody knows :stir:
C’mon sir. What kind of response is that? The poster was positive, with a good posting. Why ruin it? Are you part of the sock puppet group that you mention?

As for myself, I met the General a lifetime ago. Nice guy. I think he was surprised that I’m exactly the same person everyday as I am on CEO.

Some keyboard warriors are very different than the personas they pretend to be.
It's a light trollish joke.
Threads are opportunities, some for joking, some for learning, some for sniffing each other's asses, some for making great statements...

The OP will see worse through the forum with time as he browses it, so i'm not sweating about the thread beiing ruined.

As for myself, i never met anybody while i was there, and i won't be back anyway, so probably not the same expectations / agenda here....Each poster's case is different, all kind of perspectives meet in the forum.

Some keyboard warriors are indeed very different than the image they project for sure, but there is also not only keyboard warriors here.

I don't fight for anything online, just beiing a sane French personalia with weird jokes as i am in flesh, because weird jokes is blowing steam in a much better way than what some posters do in Cambodia (which eventually ends up in the local News or Asisine forums). Beetween what we say on CEO and what we do in real life, i'm sure you know which part counts the most.

Hey OP, good thread anyway !

Enough of your sweeping generalizations... :whip: I can't assume anything about Teddy (or you) and having "a beer" is also my own euphemism for a gut-full... :beer1: :hattip:

It's my experience people rarely live up to their online persona, most better left sitting in their y-fronts attempting to pick up a dropped chip/crisp from the floor with their malformed toes.

But yeah, it's weird how we can think we've got people figured out, but wall we get here is a glimpse. I've always avoided meeting posters as I've got these preconceived notions of people, and I think meeting people in real life would shatter that. We all act/write likely differently than we do in real life, just in different degrees. Some are likely very similar to their online personas, and others vastly different.
I’m still getting over the disappointment when it was revealed that the General was not the wooly hatted, overweight, bearded bloke in his thumbnail picture.
