** These comments and observations are not directed at any one member.**
I’ve been posting in this forum for over a year and there seems to be a dangerous and destructive pattern evolving.
The posts/information has gone from candid, colorful, lighthearted, and informative and is migrating towards, aggressive, colorful language, demeaning, nitpicking, with little substance.
A good friend had this comment, which I thought fit:
"If I wanted other people's morals shoved down my throat I would never have joined the forum! If I wanted to be surrounded by people who agree with my every view, I'd look into cloning!"
We don’t have to agree, but we should be able to discuss and post our disagreements and information in constructive manner. I’m being realistic here and I’m not advocating for a G-rated material, sensored information, a mutual admiration society or group hugs… but something is far far wrong when we go out of our way to belittle people, purely because they don’t agree with us on a given issue.
I think it’s terrible when some members will comment on grammar, or pull out their dictionary about a word used, instead of focusing on the topic. Or worse yet, when members become hostile towards one another and start threads about that member.
If you don't like what a member has posted, then post your response and move on. Let’s please try to keep the criticisms to constructive on topic ones as well.
A year ago thread like "I hurt Her" would never had been brought up, nor did BK have to post any message/rules about what is and what is not allowed to be posted in the field reports. Soon the posts are going to be very general, with no personality and color, as well as no opinions, which I would hate to see. The more rules in place, then the more work for BK, not to mention the restrictions placed on the members. Let's please try to use common sence when sharing information posted to non-members
I realize that with size and growth comes with it the growing pains. Well …… I for one would like to see the form get back to the informative post forum it was and still is without all the egos.
ALL of us have to decide the fate of this forum. BK can moderate it and house the data/servers, but it’s the membership that shapes the content and sentiment. I don’t think we really want BK to set more rule and guidelines for posting. What does it say about the direction where in the post words like “ this is not meant to flame anyone, or don’t flame me, ect are written. It is sad that those types of sentences are included in our posts in the first place.
The way I see it is BK has been nice enough to set up a cool place to meet people, post information, and get information about Thailand. Let's ALL.... including myself.... try to clean up our act so that we can ensure that this forum heads back into a healthy direction before it's too late.
Have a good one.

ABC;
Sup bro.? You are certainly right about the way it's going. You can't comment on something written, or disagree any more without being told your an idiot. That certainly is a shame and, makes me feel as if i'm back in kindergarten. Of course when those very things happen and, I get my feathers ruffled, I too revert back to my "shut up and stomp ass days". So i'm no exception to what you are saying here bro. To much "i'm smarter than you are" sentiment these days on the forum. I would bet BK looks at it and, says "what the f_ck happend" sometimes. I too hope we can get it together, and, bring it back into perspective. Well, at any rate, we should see what caliber of members we have, if the members can all come together on this issue and, bring the forum back to the way it was. I for one hope it happens bro.

ABC and Bigin made these observations some time ago and are still relevant today.

STD...Man, those words you have dug up from the walls of ruined temples in the land of BTF....real holy.
Mythology reigns supreme on the forum. There isn't a single posting member who has not pontificated about the great old days, and BK's largesse, and the great posters of yore, and how f_cking bloody wonderful everything could be IF.....
IF....is a powerful state of mind and is used for and against everything, by everyone for something.
How many times do we have to say, "This not a democracy you know."
Well I say that..the BTF is a democracy!
Huh?? f_cking hell FM!
The BTF is a democracy,
because IF no one posted,
and IF no one clicked onto the website,
and IF no one read a damn thing on it.....
there would be NO BTF.
The only power BK has over anyone, is IF we wish to play the game. Since we do, well over 7,000 in fact, then it is quite obvious that BK knows a hell of a lot more about human nature than most of us on this forum, who do all the 'whinging and whining', all claiming to know what the hell BK should or should not do, who or who should not be banned, and what or what is not, relevant to the content of this damn forum.
Somethings work because we let power go,
not because we exercise power to the greatest degree.
So the democracy in power here is 7,000+ guys/girls saying, "Okay BK, I'll go for the ride." Democracy is also at work IF people give up the right to make the decisions to someone who wants to.
We have..BK does. Pretty simple.
One more thing....
There are people who say others are idiots....
There are people who say they are not idiots....
And there are people who watch and listen to the above two groups of people argue.
Others just turn the page...and read or make another post elsewhere.
Your choice.

Well Hello Bothers. I will start out saying that I have only been a member here for around nine months or so. I have only made a few posts and made a few contacts, with some great guys.
I have to say that this topic pushed me over the edge and made me post. I spend most of my time here just lurking and learning. I love this Forum, But I do tire from some of the bickering and flaming. I understand that we all are personalities and that some mix better than others, but "can't we all just get along" for F_ck sake.
I think that we all have someting to offer here. But I found myself not posting field reports and other postings primarily because I didn't want to be called an Idiot, or have my spelling and grammer corrected.
For the most part I don't care what people think of me, but being a relative newbie to the forum I guess I was a little intimidated by all of your great wisdom.
I hope that was clear enough to understand.

Me thinks the funniest ones are those who think that a whole bunch of manslut sex maniacs can control their inputs and outputs. Then beg someone else to do what they can't with words.
Find another playground boys. One that serves cheese with all your whining.

Thank you for helping me make my point.
I guess I was right; I don’t have a good enough command of the English language to make a good point on my own.

OK so I have been whinging and whining of late...
I joined this forum to garner information on Thailand (mostly Bangkok) nightlife. In return, as far as possible, I have tried to give useful information to others.
Unfortunately it is all one way traffic now - my requests for information go largely unanswered mainly (I guess) cos most of those in the know have left the forum.
Of course I should just piss off and go elsewhere - unfortunately I dont know where to go....
