To all TF's Members,

   I sincerely give my apologies to anyone that has been offended by any of my personal, replys, responses, comments, or issues! I've joined Tf's as a friendly person....mostly to meet Thai ladies. I'm not here to make any enemies......I give respect to others and I only expect the same in return.....just like everyone else  I'm a logical person in real life, and I do not like to even talk about race, religion, or politics and women's ages or weight  These subjects always draw more cons then pros......henceforth...I will not bother to even reply/repond to any of these tender issues.....Thank you,  Eddie in Hawaii

<applause>

well done.

{ I'm a logical person in real life} ==> you are not logical online??? hehe

I think many people here behave differently in the real life. Because this is not a face-to-face communication so they can type whatever they want.. obviously, words can easily piss most of us off.

Some friends here are very sweet, understanding, reasonable in real... but here on TF, you wish you could just ban them yourself

I dont like talking about those sensitive issues either... but when it comes to discrimination, I might need to give it a try : )

Don't give up or quit posting in forums because of a little good natured ribbing afook....you should be proud of your beliefs, no matter what some one says about you...never try and appease people or you might not be happy yourself

Good luck eddie better to persue ladies than some other ideals.

Sorry you feel as you do,but nice Apology.You are a man eddie and you have made a statement.

Vincent one thing that don't scare me is that Beer Chang can!!!!lol

sun_tzu: "Don't need to apologize, I don't think anybody was offended (just maybe you)

We just might have different views on some subjects due to 'cultural difference' of some sort."

totally disagree. i think the apology in this case was a) warranted and well done.

afook06: <standing ovation>

sun_tzu: <silence so deep you can hear a pin drop>

A noble gesture, but no need to vanish from the forums, you provided much merriment for all.

Eddie its clear, and always has been, that your a good guy.

I think, only my opinion, that maybe you tke things a little to seriously.

Just relax and enjoy, all will work out well in the end.

Good apology but this could imply that your wrong and others are all correct, clearly not the case.

i'll get back to you after i finish clearing my throat....

Beer heals all wounds.

SunTzu: let me clarify:

afook06's apology was warranted not because he played rough or had an opinion, etc. but because he rather loudly accused others of name-calling and negativity yet was right in there doing so himself.

afook06 claims to give respect to others, and by apologizing he demonstrates this.

as for vbroker, in general i agree with his assertions that forums are for entertainment and not to be taken too seriously. whether he needs to apologize, however, depends on what his purpose is in the forums. if he is there to express his contempt for the holders of what he perceives as liberal views then he is unlikely to see a need to apologize. if he were to express something along the lines of giving respect to others, being friendly, etc. then i would hope he'd get busy apologizing.

i hardly ever volunteer apologies unprompted, as i dont mind being a prick, i *like* being booed when i step into the ring. although if i genuinely offend someone PM me i will most likely apologize if your request seems reasonable (even if i dont understand or necessarily agree).

to whom it may concern: next time i light you up like a christmas tree, please understand that my fire and brimstone is directed at what you've posted, or claimed in a series of posts, or perceived inconsistencies in your posts. as human beings, i love each and every one of you, individually and as a group. however, as much as i might love the sinner, it won't stop me from having a go at the sin, so please queue up on the left...

macca_tirana: "Good apology but this could imply that your wrong and others are all correct, clearly not the case."

as warm fuzzy emotional language that's fine, but as a literal desciption of the situation it makes it very much beg the question: you think that it's OK to claim to adhere to one set of principles and act according to another, then? that's an interesting value system.

afook06 has made a strong attempt with this post to bring his posting more in line with his professed values.

encore:

afook06: <standing ovation, complete with mexican wave, audience waving their lighters in the air, etc>

macca_tirana: <silence so deep you can hear a pin drop>

vbroker,

The cat with the sniper rfle is looking for you :-)

Best thing you could possibly do... Don't talk... Perfect.

Actually, you provide more entertainment than most people... So I guess not talking would be a detriment to our days... Continue with the unmitigated ignorance. hehe
