Is posting/contributing to ISG, just a pissing game for some? (Part 1 of 2)
[QUOTE=Axel Heyst;2894550]My last communique to the hater [/QUOTE]Dude, if this is your last communique to me...arhhh, what a shame! Say it isn't so! That definitely, would be a pity! But I guess we all live with disappointed everyday...kkkk!
[QUOTE=Axel Heyst;2894550]Go [b]fxxx[/b] yourself little man...You are welcome, A-hole.[/QUOTE] (...kkkk!) I see what you mean when you said, [i]"It will only lead to [b]pointless arguments [/b]and hatred".[/i]
So I guess I was correct when I said, [i]"As for the [b]'pointless arguments'[/b] and [b]'contamination'[/b], I will leave that up to you."[/i] But who really knew, you'd be the one doing ALL the hating (...kkkk!) Who is really [i]"true to form",[/i] now?
BTW you can write/say "FUCK", you're not going to hurt my feelings! (...kkkk!)
[QUOTE=Axel Heyst;2894550]Let's see. I checked your recent posts on ISG. It took me around 30 seconds and guess what? Only 2 out your last 60 posts on the International Sex forum have anything to do with girls or travel. And those 2 posts were not original reports containing any useful information to be passed on to fellow members but were merely thanks for posting types to the original BM's. In other words, less than 3% of your output in the last 3 months have anything to do with mongering and 97% of your posts are political diatribes and personal attacks on anyone who disagrees with you. And so, true to your nature, you attack me for what? Posting an honest film review? Go fxxx yourself little man.[/QUOTE]
If posting on ISG is a numbers game for you...[b]than have at it![/b] Personally, if an ISGer/BM has posted, one or one thousand posts, I don't care, as along the posts are informational and/or informative and they have something meaningful to offer w/r to the conversations and/or reports on ISG forums.
But calling out ISGer/BMs, because they don't post "as much" as you, or what you deem "suitable", or perhaps not in the "sexier" forums/threads you think is "benefiting", contrary to your opinions, is ALL still "contributions" to ISG and is IMHO perfectly fine. Granted it may not be as meaningful to you or I, and if I personally don't find it meaningful, I hope someone else does find it useful. Last but certainly not least, is to simply I try IGNORE IT and/or THEM!
So to nit-pick at a BMs contributions and [u]how they choose to contribute[/u] is in your own words, [b]"pointless arguments".[/b] It has been said before, there are many ways to contribute
to ISG. For example: [LIST] The Obvious Contributions: Trip reports/Updates (albeit minor, major, large, small, past, present or future reports), Maps, Photos, Articles/News, Non-competing Web Links/Sites ...etc)[/LIST][LIST] Not so obvious and often considered "thankless" contributions:
[b]Feedback[/b] (for those affirmation of those minor and major reports/updates and boot-on-the-ground info.),
[b]Commentary[/b] (to show support for those who take the time to write a report or to encourage, those that don't post that often)
[b]Analysis and Critiques [/b](pos. e neg. if constructive, which hopeful does lead to invoking further insights into uncovering things ISGers thought to do or NOT do)
[b]Open Exchange of Ideas[/b] (I'm probably repeating my self here... but more target towards open dialogue and critique, regardless of the # of posts under your moniker)
[b]The "Thank You's" and "Attaboy's"[/b] (Simple but effective. Perhaps a relic to some, but in my books, still a thing of beauty)[/LIST]
Yes, the often [b]"thankless"[/b] ISG contributions and contributors that are [u]overlooked[/u] and often [u]forgotten[/u], in the eyes of some. After all, what is a leader without followers? What is a report/post, if no-one or anyone responds to it? Or it goes unnoticed and doesn't "move the needle" or illicit a response in anyone, enough to take the time to log-in and write a response?
You know, as well as I do, that there are ISGers/BMs that have hundreds/thousands of posts to their names and how much they've "actually contributed" will always be [b]"a bone of contention"[/b], for ISGers/BMs who wish to debate such things, or argue about another ISGer's "worth" or "value" of contribution, as if somehow they've been appointed [i]"ISG Jury, Judge and Executioner".[/i] Again...have at it!
Some goes for the frequency of contributions to forums. I know I lot guys, are hung up on "how much" or "When much" an ISGer contributes, I'm not one of those guys. Again, I'm more interested in garnering anything, of meaningful "substance", from "as little" or "as much" from their content/contribution being posted, no matter the frequency or period of frequency of posts, no matter the forum/thread. And if I can't find anything of "value"...I MOVE ON!
[LIST]Note: My above statements on the topic, applies as a response to similar questions, other ISGers/BMs, that are asking! For those of us that pay attention, already know, this topic has been hashed to death before. Go check either the this thread or the "General Info" thread (I Think?). Don't forget "ISG SEARCH" is your friend![/LIST]
But hey, I guess if this is a pissing contest for YOU (and that goes for some others too, you know who you are)?...Okay you guys WIN!!!
Pissing contest done? But is it "appropriately" posted or just "woke"? (Part 2 of 2)
[QUOTE=Axel Heyst;2894550] By the way, to put it in context, my mentioning of "White Lotus" came about thanks to an ongoing conversation I was having with another BM who had recommended several books by a famous Brazilian author that happened to have working girls in the story lines. I brought up the work of Federico Fellini, one of the greatest film directors of all time, who had prostitute characters in 4 of his master works including "Nights of Cabiria" (1957) which feature a prostitute with a heart of gold as the main character.
Then to bring conversation back up to the present time, I mentioned and gave a favorable review to White Lotus 2nd season which had 2 delightful Sicilian prostitute characters featured in that story line. But not to mislead anyone, I mentioned that the 1st season of "White Lotus" sucked ie it was not so good due to its "wokeness" because I didn't want to mislead anyone into seeing the 1st season based on my positive review of the 2nd season. Got it? So, instead of attacking me, you should be thanking me for turning you on to "White Lotus" 1st season. The story line is right up your alley. You are welcome, A-hole.[/QUOTE]
Fair enough! However, that ongoing convo w/r to books art and TV-shows..etc, could have, just as easily been placed in the "appropriate" thread, such as General Info. But of course that's my opinion, just like you, exercised your opinion, when you asked of me, to move my "political shit".
Who knows, perhaps next time, I'll interject and politely ask, to move the "artsy" convo, over to a more appropriate forum? Naturally, [b]without categorizing[/b] another ISGer/BMs convo/politics or points of view on the subject matter [b]as "shit".[/b]
[QUOTE=Axel Heyst;2894550] Lastly, do I have to remind you that the name of this forum is the "International Sex Forum" and that its main reason for its existence and popularity is that it provides a space where heterosexual men (mongers) can exchange stories, reviews, trip reports, girly information, insights, and travel info related to OUR favorite sport. The key defining words: sex between heterosexual men (XY) and natural born girls (XX). Hence this website is anti-woke by its very nature. In fact, one of the rules of the ISG is no posts are allowed relating to ladyboys or Trannys, no reports on tranny sex, tranny brothels, massage parlors, escorts or their procurement of any kind. Did you miss the memo?
Obviously, you support the tenants of Wokism since you attack anyone who opposes the Woke doctrine or even mentions Wokism in a passing, negative light. This is very interesting because one of the fundamental tenants of Wokism is that there is no difference between a man and woman. That any man (XY) or boy (XY) can be a woman (XX) or girl (XX) whenever he or she feels like it. Nature has nothing to say on the subject. Nature is irrelevant. KKK. Thus, a man can compete in woman's sports, shower in girl's high school bathrooms, and 3rd parties are encouraged to indoctrinate minors in grade school with this insane ideology and even give minors sex changing hormones at a very early age all without parental approval. It is truly shameful! P.S. The Wokes insist on changing the English vocabulary to eliminate what they consider offensive pronouns like "he" or "she". Did I miss anything?[/QUOTE]
If just so funny these days, how some people love to classify everything they dislike, are ignorant of, homophobic to, disagree with or don't understand, as "woke". Let's conveniently place everything we can't comprehend or don't care to understand, along with all the "undesirable" people we're intolerant of, into [b]the proverbial "woke box"[/b] (or whatever the latest political term is currently being kicked around).
FYI, those on the right, "woke" or is it "anti-work (who can tell?), that are "burning" and banning books and even [b]banning dictionaries[/b] (for heavens sake!), I doubt very much, they'd even be able to look-up the word "woke" to know what it means, in all it's forms, definitions and contextual history. Or even look-up the word "sex" or what any "sexual" related words mean, for that matter.
But hey, you seem to have a "lock" on what is "woke" and "anti-work", as it suits your narrative. So good for you, for being so secure in your "wokeness" or lack thereof? [b]I can't decide, which it is YET![/b]
[QUOTE=Axel Heyst;2894550] So once again, I ask, what the fuck is a Woke ideologue believer like yourself doing on the International Sex Forum posting nothing but radical left wing talking points and attacking anyone who disagrees with you? And simultaneously never posting personal trip report or reviews that have anything related to heterosexual mongering? It is a fair question and before you launch another one of your personal attacks at me, I will add that you know nada about me. For all you know, I may have scores of ladyboy sexual romps in my more than 30-year experience in Thailand. 555/ KKK. You know nada. So, I will end this, my final communique to you, with one more fact: when a monger asks a BKK Sukhumvit ladyboy street walker if she is a girl, 99% of the time the ladyboy will say no, she is not a girl. Ha Ha! Ladyboys apparently have a firmer grip on reality than American Wokes.[/QUOTE]
Okay, but not really sure where you're going with this line of thinking? Everything from "Woke Ideologue" to something about posting/not posting according to the world of "Axel Heyst", to personal attacks, and then something about "Ladyboys"? Sorry I didn't grasp the gist of the overall theme of what you were trying to convey, here.
Anywho, I'll attempt an answer:[LIST][b]First,[/b] it's seldom personal for me. Sure certain ISGers get under my skin, at [b]very rare times[/b], but for the most part, it's like water of a duck's back. You'll be hard pressed to find me calling other ISGers/BMs names or throwing profanity at them. Although it has happened on the very odd occasion. But I typically don't make a habit of it.[/LIST][LIST][b]Second,[/b] you've been here at ISG, long enough to know, what an actual personal attack looks like vs. a disagreement w/r to where conversational content should be "appropriately" placed. So when you use the word "attack" about a half-dozen times, is this you claiming "victimhood"? If so...have at it!
But let me remind you, this is the [b]second (2nd) time you've called me out[/b] for "inappropriately" posting to the wrong thread. The first (1st) time, rightly so, since I was trying to make a point, about the inconsistencies of posting "correctly". I knew then somebody was eventually, going to call me out. [u]Coincidentally, it just so happen to be you.[/u] The second (2nd) time, I did post in the "appropriate" forum. But again it was YOU, calling me out for said infraction. So was that just a coincident? Or something more at play here?
[u]Don't forget, [b]I did commend[/b] you on the first (1st) time.[/u]. So hardly the "attacker", you imagine or make me out to be. If I am this big, bad "attacker", you claim, please identify the multitude of times (prior), in posts where I've "attacked" you, in a response to a post of yours? Let alone posted a response to anything of yours, you're posted!
So back to that initial point I was trying to make. It's funny how when ISGers/BMs post pages and pages of off-topic "where-to-find-pussy/sex" stuff like [b]"financial stock/bonds/Forex trades"[/b] (even when they do dress it up to sound like sex/pussy talk) or "Real Estate talk" or "Arts-n-craft talk", in the RJ/SP thread, its suddenly okay. However, as soon as a few posts w/r to [b][i]"political talk"[/i][/b] or anything on [b][i]"views about on race, cultural, or ethnic talk"[/i][/b] crops up, it's [b]suddenly, "inappropriate"[/b] for the forum/thread.
Again, when we call out other ISGers, it sure would be nice for a change, to have a little consistency. Hence why I called you out for said hypocrisy. And to be clear [b]General Info has always had political content in it[/b], as an appropriate forum/thread. Just check its history![/LIST][LIST][b]Third,[/b] the rest of this paragraph on Thailand and "Ladyboys sex romps", interwoven with "American wokes" (whatever that is?), I just wasn't sure what to think. [u]As guess better minds than I, will figure it out?[/u]
But it does sound like those are some "happy times" in Thailand...I hope that what I was reading. Thanks for sharing! I'm sure someone will make use of the info. [/LIST]Finally, by now you should realize, that when you post on an open discussion/debate forum, your written posts/reports/ideas, are going be [i]praised, applauded, congratulated[/i] and [i]thanked.[/i] And we all love the praise and attention, if and when, it comes our way. But...
At other times NOT so much! As things get [i]contentious, wildly debated, judged, scrutinized[/i] and [i]criticized to the nth degree[/i]. [b]That is the Nature of the ISG beast[/b], get used to it! If ISGers that want to refute my posts, that's okay with me and I don't get too emotional or take it personally. But to each his own!
Having explained and addressed, that I posted appropriately in the General Info forum and why IMHO, I rightly criticized your post for being hypocritical, would this be a good time to open up a discussion and start totally [u]separate posts[/u] here, and REALLY debate the topic of "woke"?
Or should we [u]"appropriately"[/u] take it over the the "American Politics" forum, since [b]"woke"[/b] is after all an [b]American "political football"[/b] and NOT a Brazilian one? But more importantly since we all know, YOU are a very big policing advocate for posting "appropriately" in the "correct" forums/threads, which shall it be?
So to "communique" or [b]NOT[/b] to "communique", that is the question?
Favela vs "Normal Neighborhood"
What separates a family who lives in a favela vs one that lives in say Jacarapaga or Taquara or Maracana areas from an economic and educational standpoint? Educational meaning that in a perfect scenerio, young Bruno goes to college for accounting, later becomes an accountant, and uses his salary to rent in a decent apt before moving to the suburbs and starting a family.
I don't like broaching this topic with Brazilian work colleagues because it's not really appropriate plus they are so touchy when it comes these things.
Hoping one of the long time locals here can just inform with no BS spin.
