Re: Welfare checks at Sun and Moon
Thanks Brody. After going to bed last night with the JB banning in mind (of which I guess I was the instigator to push it to the attention of the mods) and logging in this morning to find a potential homophobic allegation to my post, made me over sensitive that some may accuse me of a double standard.Brody wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 9:09 amDon't roll over so easily. I don't think Fax's comment was fair at all. And I find his attempt to ramp up the tenor of the exchange with his "[slur removed] coffee" comment, to be way out of line.
You put it in perfect context here:clutchcargo wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 8:19 amIt was meant to be just a bit of obscure trivia in the context of the levity that was going on around the S&M.
Anyone who experienced malice or offense by what you posted needs to have their head examined.
What, are we all going to walk on eggshells around each other on this forum?
For fucks sake, was it a tinge off-color? Maybe. Malicious? Not in a million years. And absolutely no call to equate it with the term "[slur removed]" and "homophobic", fax.
No need to have your original comment deleted, Clutch. At least not to my mind.
Put a splash of bourbon in your coffee fax and settle down.
As you say, I don't see my post as nearing the severity of yesterday's incident and in any event, I would imagine a mod edit would have been the go to cut that bit out in the first instance and/or a warning if they thought it was over the top.
FLB also made the point that NKOTB and Explorer get harassed and its gotta stop. Not sure harassed is the right word but it did make me think that I have been party to having a go at Explorer at times however I've tried to deliver it in a light hearted, humorous manner which I think (hope) he would not be offended. But I guess there's a fine line about having a go at someone, I will think twice in the future.
I guess these incidents probably put a dampener on things but yeah I would hope not too much and it's a fine balance.What, are we all going to walk on eggshells around each other on this forum?
Re: Welfare checks at Sun and Moon
Everything I say is right and those who think otherwise are clearly wrong and if they still think so then they probably need a throughout head examination. Examinations of heads!
I think you're taking it too seriously. I called you a homophobe as a joke. I was never offended. The faggots in that area are great guys!

Re: Welfare checks at Sun and Moon
People have a go at NKOTB based on objective evaluation of the content of his posts, i.e. because he posts tedious mundane observations interspersed with over the top gushing about his wife. So people call him a weirdo. Just like they have a go at Phuket Richard for his drivel about Thailand, and they call poor Cam Nivag a weirdo for posting obsessively about shirtless and homeless expats.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 9:53 am

NKOTB and Explorer deserve no special protection from posters for criticism of their posting style and content.

Re: Welfare checks at Sun and Moon
poor poor chapthey call poor Cam Nivag a weirdo for posting obsessively about shirtless and homeless expats.
you seem to have a rather intimate knowledge of what goes on in his mind.
wonder how that is?
wonder why they call him a weirdo?
maybe his unusual obsessions.
Re: Welfare checks at Sun and Moon
I'm all for improving my comedic skill-set.
So, fax, go ahead and show me where the joke supposedly is?

Or why not step across the street for some [slur removed] coffee from the lovely Feel Good couple?
They seem to like each other, who would've thought??!!??!!
Homophobic much?
You're a weird guy fax and you're either not a native English speaker or are just proof that intended inflections sometimes do not translate all that well to the written word.
Re: Welfare checks at Sun and Moon
Yeah, but Cam Nivag just banned for a week for downvoting a very thin-skinned moderator for the reason that the posts was homophobic. Meanwhile, posts about "[slur removed] coffee" go unmoderated.frank lee bent wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 10:06 amyou are his sock, right?they call poor Cam Nivag a weirdo for posting obsessively about shirtless and homeless expats.
These juvenile boys locker room type "you're gay, no you're gay, not that's there's anything wrong with that HAHAHA posts" deter a large number of decent and advanced-thinking expats from posting. Banning posters for making that observation is nutso.

Re: Welfare checks at Sun and Moon
Yeah, and this is where mods can have a constrictive or constructive hand in a forums development.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 9:53 am FLB also made the point that NKOTB and Explorer get harassed and its gotta stop.

Deciding what constitutes excessive, unwarranted haranguing versus good natured, humorous ribbing can really have a detrimental or positive effect on a web forum.
Taking the piss out of posters and calling out bullshit when I see it, is my bread and butter, I'd have to hang up my log-in for good if the mods pulled on my reins too much....but then, it's not my call to make.
Re: Welfare checks at Sun and Moon
Exaggerating the clutch scenario of worrying where gays are was and still is funny to me. I imagined him stressing past Space Salon, sweaty, into the safety of Sary's, to escape the evil homos.Brody wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 10:10 am I'm all for improving my comedic skill-set.

You're right, I'm a pretty weird non-native English speaker. Maybe our humour is different. How about your humour? Is this a rare moment of self reflection?
