I've stated my position on this, explained it several times, and your points, while they may be valid to you, are not going to change my decision. I need to meet glitterman to confirm his identity as the person posting, and then he can be reinstated. End of. As to the kolobos argument at TQ2 over 2 years ago, do you even know what it was about? And, more importantly, do you know that kolobos, on every single occasion we met after that, apologized for his behavior that night? I always reassured him that it was no big deal. Seems that you and mulphy (who also saved me) still wish to carry it on, since you've both mentioned it in the last few months. And, as to your question about the guys agreeing on everything and backslapping, you're still here, so I guess there hasn't been a clean sweep. I do apologize for insulting you. I was in my cups and a bit pissed off at your suggestion that the reasons for suspending glitterman were because of his views rather than the reasons I gave. I just don't like being called a liar, indirectly or directly.

Maybe he has a gay stalker, going by the name of glitterman on the boards, who gets off on his pictures. Only the golden guy on the bike meeting me face to face and acknowledging that he is the one posting will change my position, in spite of the complaints of our nattering nabob of negativity who goes by the name of ... get this, "buriramboy", who is neither from buriram, nor a "boy".

I think it's pretty well known, at least amongst your "crew". I was giving him some latitude till he started getting up my nose about suspending this poster until it could be proven he was the public figure, but the anal cunt can't distinguish between this situation and actions taken against his mate, Harris Black. Thick. Is he by any chance from Birmingham?

Thanks very much for that lovely testament to the guy in gold on the bike. But do you have any proof that the one posting is he? Or perhaps it's photoshopped Harris Black after all?

buriramboy, you must be as thick as an old oak not to see the difference between Harris Black and the poster who claims to be glitterman. They are diametric opposites. The former signs up on boards as a newbie, wanting to meet people (so he can scam them), and is then generally banned as soon as it is discovered who he is, and the latter definitely claims to be someone that anyone can see several times a week, but might not be. The only thing they have in common is that they have both been banned from many internet forums. glitterman has been banned because the real person might not be writing the posts, and Harris Black has been banned (under multiple ids) because he is writing the posts and has a history of conning people. You really are a thick cunt, as the English say.

You get really testy over any negative posts about LK Metro, don't you?

Harris Black comes on the boards in disguise, not letting anyone know it is him until he is outed...and then banned. Harris attempts to create a friendly persona to get people on the board to make contact with him. This poster, glitterman, claims to be the well-known guy who can be seen on the streets of Pattaya regularly. The poster says he is that person. Suppose he is not that person who rides around town, and simply wants to generate animosity towards that real person who has no idea of what's brewing on the forums, and what he is supposedly saying? Suppose that real guy is riding down the street and someone sticks a rod through his spokes because of what someone else has said (purporting to be he) on the forums? Suppose he is held accountable for what someone else is saying are his words? I see potential danger and a potential for mischief in this, unless the poster is the actual person. In that case, he is at least aware of what he is saying about the visitors and inhabitants of this town.

The OP was on April 22, well in advance of the party.

How is giving accurate information adding any fuel to any fire?

The post appears to be testimonial from a satisfied user. However, the poster is in Thailand and is pointing to a business website. Caveat emptor.

I went to a western style restaurant in Ao Nang. They had some beef dish and some meal with lamb on the menu board at the entrance. I sat down and inquired about the beef meal. The waitress didn't understand my question, so I decided to just go with the lamb dish and told the waitress I'd like the lamb dinner. I ordered my drink and waited a bit. In fairly short order, the waitress brought be both the beef and the lamb dinners. Two full dinners with side dishes!

The glitterman id was suspended because, as the person he claimed to be is a "public" and recognizable figure, his posts were somewhat inflammatory and might cause glitterman, the person who rides the bicycle, physical or emotional harm if someone were to read them and react negatively. If the "real" glitterman were not the one posting, this could lead to him being surprised by someone walking up to him and attacking him for the positions put forth by the person posting as glitterman. It's no big deal if an anonymous person posts inflammatory opinions, but if a person identifies themselves or is recognizable, it is my responsibility to ensure that the person posting is, in fact, the physical person who they are representing. Verification from another board or 2nd party is not sufficient to remove any question about his identity, since the responsibility is mine to ensure his identity and protect the actual individual from harm that may come about from someone else posting as he. So, it comes down to the guy on the bike coming into FLB, or me perhaps encountering him on the street by chance, and attesting that he is the one making the posts, or his suspension will continue. Once his identity is verified, he is welcome to post his opinions on this board.

I believe I saw an Asian girl in the opening walk. Maybe I have to watch it again!

When's the movie come out?

Yes, but unless you can guarantee that the existing company doesn't have any hidden debt that you will be responsible for, it's better to create a new company and take over the least and assets...and not the debts. Well, you listed 3 locations already. That might qualify as "many" to some. I seem to recall he was also running an outlet (with kitchen) out of TQ2, so that's 4 in about 4 years. And, at one time, wasn't he was associated with Shooters or Lennie's along with the food concession? Maybe that was only Sam, his ex-partner. How many is many?

On the other hand, if glitterman comes into FLB to prove that he is the one making these posts, I'll be happy to reinstate his account. Of course, I'll ask him why he can't come up with some new material if he is so creative.

Well done. Sorry about your Honda dealer experience, and, if she can be believed, I'm sorry Landon is gone. He always managed to fast track everything for me during the sales and service phases. So, how is the seating in the Vios for entry and exit?

I personally think it's a hoax poster pulling up old controversial posts from last year on thaivisa. As a consequence, I have suspended the account. So, you will not see any more posts from this supposed glitterman.

I once ordered a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings at a bar/restaurant. The onion rings came within a few minutes, and I started on them, but didn't want to finish until my main meal had arrived. After 20 minutes, I asked the waitress to go check on my cheeseburger. She came back and said "No have hamburger", and walked away. I had to point out to her that the cheeseburger order should be taken off my bin!

Welcome to the board, anyway. We didn't need another villayouth singing the praises of ladyboys, so it worked out well.

Do you know that the software on the forum handles word wrapping based on the width of the page, and that you don't have to hit ENTER after about 5 or 6 words? Also, do you know what that thing is below the ">" sign? It's called a PERIOD (or FULL STOP for you Brits). Use it. Oh, and there is a little doohickey on the left of your keyboard called SHIFT. Try that too. Are you, by any chance, from Birmingham?

What a sensationalist feminist! Trafficking, forced sex? Crap.

It's a mystery to me. Somebody is posting one year old posts from thai-visa website. They are in Thailand, so possibly it could be glitterman. I don't know. Next time someone sees him, ask him about it. If he says he made the posts, give him a slap.

Gonzo, I have a 2009 Honda City, am 6' tall, and find it a bit of a contortion to get into and out of the driver's seat. At a minimum, go to the showroom and try entering and exiting from the driver seat a few times. Also, I was very happy with the treatment and service at the Honda dealer north of BP Hospital. There is a sales guy there, a look krung, named Landon, who speaks very good English and can help you during the purchase. In my case, I financed the car. I think a work permit and income statement is required for that. As I recall, the wait was 1 week for the car to arrive. If I were doing it again, I'd go with the Civic or some larger car.
