OK, sorry I thought you were angry at K440 admins. I didn't realize you were just being constructive.

To be fair, he is a spectacular upgrade from that scumbag scobienz. If anyone has a chance to stick a pineapple up that shithead's arse, let me know, I ll pay for a second one.

You seem to have no problem with CEO posters starting threads about, and commenting on, homeless drunken overstaying expats. You only have a problem with it when someone you view as a Khmer440 poster does it. Then you are suddenly "triggered," so to speak.

Pizzalover wrote: ↑Thu Dec 27, 2018 10:07 pm The combination of ageism and hate for less affluent people is a specially toxic combination that, imho, needs to be stopped.

Stopped? You think CEO should ban "toxic" comments about drunken and homeless expats running amok in Cambodia, so that you, the Enlightened One Who Welcomes All People, can fill the forum with more endless whining about the Chinese "invading" Cambodia?

My god, what an idiot.
First, I never started any discussion on these 2 characters. As pertains to individual no. 1, when the posthumous evaluation took place I added that in his life time the person had a lot to say about others including deceased. Whatever I said was way more friendly than that character was.

No.2 This person came online here, outed himself and explained his business model, in my view fraud. Yes, he was and probably is a swine (add whatever term comes to mind). Worst type of internet entrepreneur. Strike that last word and let's think about something more suitable.

In sum, Sir, I participated in discussions and unlike you I m not starting mud slinging threads. The references were always clear and precise. Not somebody (or a whole group) under attack because he is old, has no money, has fallen on hard time, is sick, homeless - all those things that makes you go online. Both no.1 and no.2 used their diatribes to make money and nothing else. They abused people regularly for their personal gain. Concerning your part in that sick setup, well research your posting history. And no, i m not starting this. I am responding to the multiple denigrating post you put on here.

My Chinese invasion comments: You better take your ire to others, like the mods, who report on it daily. Again, you misrepresent where you can as long as it gives you a semblance of credibility.

The social problems of many expats are certainly an important topic. Too important too leave to someone whose comments are just too close to that of Neonazis in Europe. First the homeless got denigrated, then put on fire.

Actually the premise of the FB post isnt really correct.
Most people that go to a Kampot 50c beer restaurant for a meal dont usually spend av $8.
More like around $3-4 for the meal and maybe $1 on water or a coupla beers.
Outside of meal times its probably only 50c beer drinkers there. Over the course of the day all those small 15c/glass profits add up.
In Kampot, you're more likely to find an av $8 spend per customer in places that charge more than 50c for a beer, imo.
Its also not true that the 50c beer brigade dont order food. A percentage of them do.

Good point. The sad truth is, however, - in my view - that Gavin Mac is not interested in the real circumstance. For him the FB post just serves as another pretext to let his hate flow over into this forum. He is using the standard populist narrative/method so familiar now in Europe.

The issue is anyhow non-existent. If the owner is unhappy with his/her own pricing, it would be changed. Here you have someone not involved, not at the location, seeing something online and going on a rampage.

Enough, now time to go for a 6K riel fried rice with bbq pork and soup. I wont spend 50c on a beer as the ice tea is very good and for free. Together with the registered birth date in my passport that should be enough to make Gavinmac dream of train stations at night and a freight car taking me away. Alas, it wont happen.

1) the lady doth protest too much
2) gone to the General Machiavelli school of text-walling it seems

gavin mac, you are on borrowed time already.presumably your recent week off made no impression so have another final week. permaban if you persist.
i am very tired of members of tof coming here solely to hang shit on this forum and attack members and management here.
that is what destroyed the other place.

Actually you are behaving as mods did on the other forum. Totally biased

So is this place near the old market? The one near the cake place.
I saw a load of older barang sitting outside drinking beer when I was there for a couple of days.

a sad expression of ignorance. AFAIK nobody passed on member details to buddies. No mod created fake ids to start flame wars in order to increase traffic. No mod ever denigrated a deceased person. And the list goes on. What I do notice is that criticizing a certain behavior is, indeed, possible on CEO. On TOF in the old days people got banned the moment they showed a few things about an underling of the powers that were. This forum is not a club run by a group of mentally challenged like the other was for years.

To be clear, I m in no way implying that the current owner of TOF is anything like the previous scoundrels. He is nice enough, tries to maintain a friendly tone by using some mild irony in reminding people to remain factual. While he does like to post shiny cvs that might be somewhat misleading this is not a crime. The CIA gossip targeting him is imho total baseless and I have said here more than once. The details you can gather online about him preclude such an idea.

You will surely disagree with me about what I said. That's ok. However, in that case you wont be able to explain to yourself, leave alone anyone else, why CEO is doing pretty ok when TOF is not - even after a change in direction. Clearly, the mods must do something right but that's not for everyone. Food for thought.

I don't like the undertones of Cam Nivag and a couple of others that drift across from TOF as they leave a pall unpleasantness or nastiness that seems to permeate through the board. As I see it, allowing these guys to continue with their K440-esque behavior deriding or attacking mods and members does nothing to protect or further encourage what is generally a pretty friendly online community.

You might as well permaban them now, I say, removing their inevitable repeat behavior and the risk of them dissuading others from joining or participating.
