Some of the more extreme things I dont even discuss, as some people dont believe the trivial things. But then I get attacked for saying things like this. They think I am trying to act better than them. Anybody can go and spend time with the people and go through this learning experience.

If you are good to Cambodian people, you can form some genuine friendships, people who will value you for the rest of their lives.

Yeah! There are lots of reasons not to move to Thailand, and lots of reasons not to contribute to this forum.

I agree with the comments about the cabal and baiting people.

Before under a different username, Vlad went on the attack and I decided I didn't need this toxicity in my life so I stopped posting. I read from time to time, but no posts.

When it seemed the narcissistic one was banned, I came back. Since coming back I was downvoted by JB for no reason other than he is a prick. I found davegorman's writing style to mirror that of Vlad and he went on the attack. I had words put in my mouth by prahocalypse now, insinuating I am a racist. He attacked me before on my other profile.

I sat back and thought about it and realized this place is a toxic as a bar between 19th and 13th and I don't need this in my life. Therefore, I won't be back. Fuck you people!

Maybe you have a load of experience in Cambodia, and with Khmer culture, and you're fluent in Khmer, you've raised a kid in Cambodia and you have worked in several sectors gaining heaps of experience. Or maybe you've just been around for a few months and you've got the feeling you can see through all the layers of Khmer culture, just like I did at that time (how wrong I was....). I don't know.

But most of your stories do indeed come across like stories from the barstool / coffee shop.

Imagine I met you in real life. Imagine you told me about some personal experience, where you had done something stupid, or something bad had happened to you. Imagine I then came on this or another forum, and told everybody about what you did, and in the process identified you. How would that be.

When I talk about things that happened to people, I dont identify them. I dont even include details of what happened which would identify people. I just share these experiences so people can be aware of the type of things that happen.

If somebody is named in the media. Because they have already been identified publicly, then it is OK to include those details.

I was in Cambodia long before you. I spoke the Cambodian language long before you. I spent time with Cambodian people long before you.

Now the people concerned about their own self importance will say, so you think that makes you superior, and the game will continue. So I wont go into details.

I believe everybody should be entitled to express their opinion. Even recent arrivals.

If you have been in Cambodia a reasonable amount of time, speak the language, and have spent time with the people, you learn the type of things which go on. You will know that the type of things I talk about do occur. If you dont, you can learn. Thats what forums are for.

I am amazed how little some people understand. Some of the more extreme things I dont even discuss, as some people dont believe the trivial things. But then I get attacked for saying things like this.
