There's a visible lack of class on this thread.

It seems that the guy in question split opinion on here.

There may be some for all I know who didn't like him but have shown some dignity and decency and kept their counsel, rather than rubbing it in while the man is at his lowest. There are several who seem incapable of any such circumspection, notwithstanding that they know there are others on here reading who like the guy.

Very poor form indeed imo.

I've taken the option to keep my counsel, and I don't even know him, aside from on CEO. But I don't think it's a lack of class. Let's be honest, there hasn't been a great deal to discuss that isn't COVID-related recently, so Mark has been a subject of much merriment and dare-I-say, dark humour. He certainly could hold his own, and I am fairly sure that he actually might find most of what's been said quite humorous. He's no shrinking violet, and will (no pun intended) give both barrels as and when he returns. (EDIT: I'm quite looking forward to that moment!!)

To quote JB and infer a lack of class isn't particularly nice. He's one of the longest serving expats in Cambodia, and widely regarded as a fountain of useful and useless knowledge, depending on whether you ask him nicely or not

I don't know the guy from CEO or elsewhere (have no idea what his username was and it very likely would mean nothing to me even if I did) ! But even as an outsider, I can usually spot the difference between banterish dark humour, and spiteful retribution. Perhaps I got it wrong in this particular case (perhaps), but there's clearly instances on this thread where dark humour and camaraderie isn't the name of the game. It's none of my business, and for all I know the guy could be a complete asshole, but that's my observation, as a neutral if you like; maybe some could show a little more empathy in the circumstances. Appreciate your constructive response all the same and will try to take heed of some of your points.

Not any further. Just trimmed 7 pages of dick waving, "My gun's bigger than your pocket knife" off topic trolling bollocks.

Let's try to keep on topic now, else we might have to lock the thread until his day in court.
