A Pleasant Surprise

Since the peacekeepers intervention, I renewed my subscription to the forum and have seen much improvement in the dialogue the members have been sharing.

When I logged into my email this morning I saw a long list of member comments on various subjects. I took the time to read a few and wound up reading them all. The comments and the occasional debate were enjoyable and informative. With the exception of one unnecessary reference to an American political leader a couple days ago, the vitriolic sewage and negative attacks were gone!!!!

I am by no means an expert in SE Asian banking practices or economic policies and how they affect the people in the RP and other SE Asian countries, so I sit back and read and enjoy the responses from other members who do have more knowledge than I on these subjects.

Thanks to peacekeepers intervention I am also seeing a lot of comments from members who for one reason or another were not commenting previously.

Thanks to everyone for the pleasant reads this morning and to peacekeeper for making it happen. I do hope it continues.

I couldn’t agree more Tee Jay 4103. Nice to see the forum back to normal without SUG.

That derogatory comment about our President was sooo original and showed the vastness of your vocabulary. Bet you heard it on cnn. I’m truly sorry that the educational system failed you so dismally.

Please folks, lets stay out of politics. It caused already caused us to get rid of a valuable but pesky at times member.

I used to be quite the politics addict, I was even a minor elected office holder in California.

I was a delegate for a national convention for a candidate that the press blacked out. All of us that represented him, where beaten or thrown bodily out of the convention by the cops; though we beat the winner in his home state.

One day I awoke and realized I could do nothing to change anything for the better, except for myself. I just walked away from my office, said nothing and never returned and nobody noticed.

Most that I met in political circles were utterly selfish people with the mentality of "look at me, I'm somebody".

Please, insulting other's political views, changes nobody in a good way. We by the way can only make our judgments according to the information we receive and that info could be skewered and unrecognizable to the actual truth.

Please let's stick to the Philippines and help each other navigate successfully in our new and chosen nation.

Agreed with regard to politics, to a degree. Policy in our home country can be discussed without derision (by some) as policy oftentimes affects our life in the RP. It can be done without including childish remarks about one politician or another on whom is heaped all the worlds woes.

It is my understanding that SUG was not banned and could continue to post if he chose to do so. If he does not, that is his choice.

If a man poisons his own well and dies of thirst, he can blame himself and no other. The water then has no value to anyone.

The recent exchanges on many subjects here by a great many members has been enjoyable. I hope it continues.

SUG is obviously using another name, and occasionally crawls out from under his rock to show us how 'smart' he is. He's a joke!
