This is from when miss TIMBA'S was posting for me. She got it slightly wrong (I love you) I said this is among the most beautiful meals I've cooked. In retrospect, I'm not unhappy with the results (honestly I'm thrilled.)

And he called it right IMHO. Pics of posters do not go up on the forum without their permission first, it's one of the few rules on here, and there to protect members privacy.
A bit of consideration for what he said and even a 'sorry I didn't know the rules' would have got a completely different response from him.
Trust me, throwing attitude (no pun intended!) at FF will not do you any favours Timber.;)
Looking foward to EN's full review already, I expect it'll be a good one.:)
Please do, as this is vacation time for most of LOS, I cannot afford a vacation.

To those this is relevant to please forgive my ignorance of the common practice on forums, I've not participated in any before TD. I'm just trying to do what I can and sometimes my feelings get in the way of my logic. My sincere apologies. I'm not trying to turn this into a buzz on TD Politics, I'm just looking for usable feedback on my business from people who have respectable opinions. And I'm making new friends along the way.

(cue posters asking for it to be a picture thread).
Still reading, I'll give a summation at the end. But I know all other Thailand forums basically suck. I looked at them after I saw what could happen on TD. Again, I hope I didn't burn any bridges, I was just trying to get responses to people who were kind enough to give their support to what I'm doing. I hadn't read everything and I was just writing off the top of my head. I made a stupid mistake. I'm sorry.

Really though, my heart skipped a beat when I realized the results of my poorly thought response to one of the TD gods (I really shouldn't ever respond to anyone like this...I'm trying to be a public figure.) I'm collecting my thoughts on everything thats related to this thread. For those who are interested, I'll try to sum it up before calling it a day.

There were some unanticipated things that came along with what I’ve done with this thread, along with some bad decisions on my part. I won’t elaborate as I feel we’ve settled it, hopefully. (if you want some info on how forums work read all of this thread.) My point in all of this was to promote my business in a tasteful manner and find a home in a place full of people who know what’s going on here. (LOS) I would love to continue to be allowed to keep doing this. In return I will keep working hard to bring good material to the forum (I know you guys know your food.) So anyhow, this has proved to be a priceless learning experience for me as well as being incredibly fun. I hope you all understand my point. If not I’m more than happy to elaborate. I’m going to keep reading this thing over and over to figure out what it means. Thanks to all for the support. I hope you liked what you saw. If its OK I’ll keep doing it (in a fashion that corresponds with policy) as long as people keep asking for it. Thank you more than you’ll ever know.

I'm rereading this thread and analyzing it. I just want to say I had you in mind when I put out the sides. Yes, I'm kissing ass. I think this is a good time to do so. But really, I've gotten some feedback on my veggie ribbing. I do this in good fun, I love vegetables.

Upon closer review of this thread, I realize it is me, not you, who was the Jackass. You politely warned miss A (see spanking comment) about what was going on. We were not smart enough to pick up on the trouble you could have saved me. I don't want to draw this out any further than it needs to be but I feel I owe you this. I'm sorry for what I said. I want to continue a productive relationship with TD. Please accept my apologies and come eat a free steak. Thanks again for all your help.
I hope I can get back to talking about food with your blessings.
The sun is nearing the horizon, on the way up, this usually signals the end of my day. I can't wait to see what kind of response all of this generates. You guys are great. I'll post recipes of everything you saw tonight. Thank you TD.
I don't know you, haven't interacted with you here. But I'm pretty confident I'm wrong.

But - to use that as a green light to start having a go at the guy for 'shameless promotion' etc.. is a bit out of order. Timba's a young, creative guy starting a business and taking advantage of Teak Door though in a very positive way which 99% of members can only benefit from.
His threads are friendly and well written and the photos are of good quality but most of all it's something refreshingly new for TD. It's the way of the world to use something to your advantage and it shows good business sense, however it was inevitable somebody would get jealous or want to shake things up.
And no I'm not after a free steak, I'm just sober.
Oh, milk gravy from pork chops...salivateQuote:
