Hi Guys ........ its been nearly a week since my last post , this was down to an heavy work load at work to deal with , plus an heavy heart . Since returning from LOS I have been thinking about a number of things , not just my 8 day blast with my AIRPORT girl , but my overall impact here at A J , and trip reports etc . I am /have been wondering about the content of my posts and on the impact on the wider community , not just the A J forum , but the web also . I am not worried about other like minded guys reading these posts , but people who are just trawling the web looking for something to interest them , its these people who have never been to LOS that worry me . Basically its not that I have done anything wrong here on AJ or in LOS , but its other peoples misinterpretation of what really goes on that scares me .
Okay you may think that I am being loopy / paranoid etc etc , but my doubts are well founded , ask our host PP , he knows all about the fickle nature of internet forums and the people who visit them . I am not worried about what I have done or said , but more about other peoples misguided views on me and other people that take part in long drawn out sarcastic chats . They will look at pictures and read stories about LOS and the next thing you know its splashed all over the media . I have a sensitive job , a job which my employers may not like my involvement in this forum recounting my holidays to everyone and if someone recognises me and reports me to my employers , it would`nt be pleasant for me .

I have decided to tone down my content here at AJ and to reduce the volume of postings that I do , in short I am trying to lower my footprint here at the forum .
Has much as I enjoy it , I have to think about the bigger picture , my job allows me to come to LOS 2 times every year and I don`t want to lose that priviledge.
I have been thinking about this for a while , but part of me says , " hang on a minute " , I am over 40 , I have no kids , I don `t smoke or do drugs and I pay my ladies well for their services and all the ladies I have met tell me that I am a good man . But the fact is the world today is full of MAGGOTS who have boring lives and are just looking for something to do .......... yes its sad , but thats life for you in this day and age .

I know when I have been emailing Mike he says similar things , like I am single etc etc , so why worry about something that you have no control of ............... THATS THE PROBLEM , ITS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NO CONTROL OF .

I sometimes think that it is just me worrying about this , but judging by the the handful of forum members who have posted their pics ( avatars ) , maybe other people have similar reservations about this ............ please feel free to comment .

regards yogi

ps I have been drinking quite a bit this afternoon , this will explain my ramblings Rolling Eyes

Yogi, I feel for your dilemma - but I doubt you are in a very deep hole. The tried expression "keep your head down" is probably applicable here.
Your most serious direct failure has been misuse of your employers time - something that would generally be justification for a warning, but few employers could really go at you - how many other people also use the net? What systems do you, Mr Employer, utilise to monitor net usage? What guidelines are available for staff? blah blah.

I think I raised the expression of shouting across a crowded room some time ago. I think it is still sound advice.

I personally have another layer of constraint ..... I use my name! On a number of forums I am PeterP but on others I am actually Peter Phillips or something very close. I find being identified with my own name a very powerful discipline. There have been a number of occasions when this has stopped me saying something on a forum. On reflection, normally the next day, I'm always pleased I held back.

Once you and Jim had absorbed some sensitivity (back in the early early days) - I think there has been little that you should feel embarrassed about - but yes, sometimes the old moniker of "think, aim, and shoot " has got mixed up into " aim, shoot, think" or even "shoot, aim, think"!

Cheer up!

Simple Yogi, keep posting but not at work.

Remove your pictures from this site and ask Peter to do the same if it concerns you.

Although I have nothing to hide and mates/some work colleagues know of my Thai expoilts, why give people potentially the ammunition if it worries you ?

Seems like alittle bit too much paranoia creeping in with the thought of loosing your chances to visit LOS. I personally post on here in work mostly because luckily, my company has very relaxed views on internet usuage as long as it's not for viewing or downloading porn ect, many of my work m8's post on football forums, car and music forums without any problems from management, but personally i think ive found the best forum to post on Wink

.

like other people said yogi just keep a low profile your user name dosnt reflect your real name and now you have taken your avitar off im sure your safe m8.

dont stop posting m8

The reasons why I never post while I´m at work has nothing to do with paranoia... I just use to do private stuff at home only... never at my workplace, where I have other things to do.

hi folks kennyboy here we all need to comunicate at the level that is expected in any situation that others are able to read. pattaya is like no otherr place in the world so people who have not visited. will never grasp any or most of the aspects of this land of healing. in the years i have been most of what thailand has too offer is a part of soul searching from the person travelling ..... the way the individual behaves whilst in the madness that is pattaya is part of the true individuals character . having experienced almost 20 times. i know the good the bad and ugly side but i do say without a shadow of doubt . i have felt safer and enthrauled by the company i have met in my travel thai people falang and many of the worlds travelers have great times in thailand and will continue to do this for many years to come . one question i would put to the people who judge without knowlege take a look at the smiling staff in anna jets peter and anna have a staff who are happy and have a love of the owners and respect of most the people who visit...... life is a difficult journey but again as i say different culture have different outlooks on what we may percieve to be. again the girls who work in annas would not be thier if they were not happy. as for all the people ive met rest easy you are ok by me.
