    Two Kinds of posters on TD

    Been here a while, mostly lurking, and have a few close friends posting that I respect a lot. Have been thinking of giving up on Teak Door due to all the sniping but some posters add a lot of value so have not been able to. In today's climate, TD is about the only good source of G2 on what is going on in Thailand and that is good, but those threads are filled with crap to sort through.

    At any rate, it seems there are two types of posters on TD. Type 1 really wants to talk about the topic-at-hand and usually adds some value or at least a different point of perspective. Some are even quite helpful.

    Then there is Type 2 that seems to have only one purpose which is to snipe on another member or on a post they wrote. Type 2 posters are quite tiresome to most, at least to me.

    I firmly believe that there are two categories of people: Those that put people into categories and those that do not. Thoughts?

    What has helped when some type 2 posters clog threads with rubbish, is to put them on ignore. This feature used to be available - not sure now - haven't needed to use it for some time.

    The effect of Type 2 dominance can be seen on some other Thai forums which have become kids' playgrounds - consisting of short phrases, snipes, attacks & general silliness. If the Type 2 posters were to be put on ignore, there would be no-one to talk to.

    There are two types of people.
    1. Those that can extrapolate from incomplete data.

    Quite A few multi nic konts as well, what the fuks all that about eh? They should either post something of significance or fuk right off. Seems like plenty of fuckers just want to post to stir the shit. Not much of interest to read that shite. Still, they are easy enough ignored, plenty of Good Banter going on in the cooking/ construction / travel Fred's. I would like to think I'm the category 1 kind of poster, feel free to disagree and Red my ass, But that would make ya,ll Category 2 fuckers, bring it on , I'm a big boy,

    two type of people on TD: boring wankers who have nothing to say and simply lurk until they decide one day they want to expose their boring side

    and those who like to participate actively to threads, no matter what their opinions or background, they want to share their opinions and react to news

    basically: beta males vs alpha males

    There are two kinds of posters.

    1) The ones that arrived when DD ran the show.

    Say what they think about anything they want and are sniped on or crapped on or not and they accept that because it is fun for them and others. They don't seek or are interested in who does or does not respect them. Sometimes these guys post complete and utter rubbish and are told so in no uncertain terms or they come up with something real. They like sorting through or ignoring, without technology, posts or individuals they don't enjoy reading posts from. In a push some or even most can be quite helpful some go well out of there way to help others in need. But they are for the most part not interested in what plumbing/woodworking/flower arranging supplies a guy should bring to Thailand or other such silly posts however well meaning the OP might be.

    2) The guys that arrived post DD.

    They may think this is a cool version of TV and think TD is about the only good source of G2 (whatever G2 is) on what is going on in Thailand and that is good and really wants to talk about the topic-at-hand and usually to talk about themselves, as if they are on Facebook, or their limited view of the world and add little of real value to the community as a whole. Example: Thai politics? Can't vote then any opinion is worthless.

    These two groups are not as you would think solely separated by length of time served nor is it about number of posts or other nonsensical measures of self importance. It is a difference of character, personality or even powers of observation. I could add experience but that makes the difference time based which is could well be but that is irrelevant.

    Yes there is a subset of "You're gay" or "Dr. X takes it up the bum" some enjoy that banter most simple ignore. A lot of this banter is a sign of camaraderie.

    The type 1 guys used to be refereed to as the bottom half guys and the maybe the more recent type 2 guys could now be referred to as the top half guys.

    Don't like the type 1 guys stay out of the doghouse or other topics which are known for such posters. Ignoring is simple to do it just requires self control not a button on the keyboard.

    I'm probably going to ignore any comments on this as it is simply my opinion and...

    Sure there was some sniping when DD was around, but it seemed like just a few characters which was tenable. Now some threads are dominated by those having a pissing contest. Maybe it is just that TD has gotten more popular and there are more people on it, so statistically we see a broader spectrum of humanity.

    Rather limiting and narrow to suggest only to types. Teakdoor is reasonably taken with wide variety. At least three dozens contradicting character traits can be identified. I might consider the source that insist only two species here - twisted metaphors or not.

    Did you not need the new nic because you were a type 2 with the old one? What's the chance that a new member around for just one month would say

    Yes, what ever Eh.

    You have the long term posters who post as them selves, you have the Newbies who are just getting established and we have the Multinik shit heads who could never crack it under their original Niks.

    Multiniks are the scum of any forum and should just be flushed away down the shitter.

    Absolute wankers these lot.

    Not worth fuk all and add less.

    How might we classify Terry57? A special category of poster in his own right. We all seem to give in to the micro-categorized limits. Says who? Every situation, therefore every member is an individual - who tend to appear like sheep.

    Nope. This has been covered in an earlier thread.

    Nope, I'm fuk all mate, the only thing I am is posting as " Terry 57. "

    Simply could not post under another nik nor would want to simply because this is how I post.

    Check out my original posts from 2007, I have never changed.

    Just don't get these fukers that Mulitinik.

    Bored fukers I recon with fuk all else to do. l

    I'm not really interested in any topic that doesn't talk about roundhouse kicks, rabbit punches or one man taking on an angry mob and battering them all.

    Everything else is bollocks really, innit.
