I have re-read all of this topic and still do not understand the OPs attitude. I see nothing but normal stuff like some may have missed something or some just trying to clarify what was said or what the exact situation is with him. I think it is him who has a problem. He says he treats others as they treat him but in fact its himself which is causing an issue and mainly with himself. He has asked to be removed but I won't now, he can apologize for his bad attitude posts and we will move on but will he survive a month living here, l doubt it if he stays the same. This is what he said, can anyone really say that anything in this topic makes anyone think someone else is being rude other than after he decided to call members out? Quote Quote RockinFray ( rockinfray@outlook.com ) said: You can take me off your forum if you would like. I have received many negative responses to my opening post, and I did not post anything but excitement for my new venture, only to receive Rude, Bully responses. So again, if you think I was responding to a couple posts too hard, I was defending my happiness. Some of the members on your forum are not people I take advice from. I treat people exactly how they treat me, as I always start out polite and chipper, as per my initial post. So Please, delete my account as I looked to do it myself but did not find the option. A persons character is not determined by how long he/she has been on this forum. Have A Good Day RockinFray 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His attitude to people trying to assist was terrible. He mistook members asking for clarification so they could could give the proper advice as somehow insulting. That's on him. My post was more directed at how quick he was to anger and then insult rather than show the same patience originally afforded him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewool Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 I can remember joining here all those years ago and asking for advice, and there was loads but some was jokingly especially answering another members advice given and sometimes I thought I did not ask about that , so what I use to do was read it again a few days later and that way you did understand that mainly everyone was here to help , yes you may get the one or two who did not like it here and they do tell you why they don’t like the place 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hk blues Posted January 31, 2023 Popular Post Posted January 31, 2023 It certainly escalated quickly! I have just reread the posts and there really wasn't anything untoward to justify such a sudden blow-up. I will say that from time-to-time on the forum there is a tendency towards the negative, or at least what would be perceived as negative by those on the outside who misunderstand the intention which is really to highlight what can and often does happen here. Maybe it does come across as a bit 'naysayerish' to the uninitiated but It is well-intentioned. None of the above applies in this situation though. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am NOT asking any of you for permission to relocate. You dont like it? TUFF S**T !!! All these angry people who are clearly unhappy only wanting to rain on others parades. If you dont have any nice to say, DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL !! And for the ones that cant read, NO, I have not physically been in the Philippines, but neither did you at one point also. So Please, leave my post alone with all of your immature nasty digs. Now lets see if you can read and understand that He was not really looking for advice. He was looking for affirmation of his preconceived dreams of a new and better life in the "beautiful Philippines". I can't help but wonder if he has been following the "live like a king on $1000 a month" sites. Kind of ironic that the guy who has never been here is calling those of us who find pleasure living here as "angry unhappy jerks". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt they love PI, but.... As we all know, it's a great place to retire... For certain people. Going in without being forewarned can be a disaster. We've all seen it. Forewarned is forearmed. Edited February 1, 2023 by BrettGC 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clermont Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 Well I read his post and reply, if any of you have been on the site for a while, GJF is a master at handling disruptive posters. We had a bloke by the name of Capo I think it was, and he tried and tried to disrupt the forum, but our blue heeler soon got rid of him and guess what, the forum is still going and Di@@ heads like him need to get the chip off their shoulder before they come over here, if not someone will do it for him.

For sure, but I'd wager the majority of folk who sound off online wouldn't say boo to a goose in the real world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
