Why are there so many sarcastic commentators on CEO

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.

No. He's more of a common 'tater 🥔

A number of people expressed concern over those who continually trash intelligent discussions.

If things remain the same, CEO continues to be the plaything of those who want to make fun of everything.

You should know why some choose to no longer post, or post very little.
Here's an idea...

It would be a members only zone, you would have to ask permission to join. I would, by default, be banned from even looking upon such lofty realms. However I don't mind, I'd rather they didn't feel threatened on here and they deserve better. :?
