For an American from California, you must have lead a very sheltered life!

What you see here is simply a display of individuality. If you want out and out hatred in a travel related bulletin board, try anything related to Cuba.

Here's just a couple of examples and I'm picking them at random from my collection of URLs:

CubaMania Cuba Forums - We Have Cuba Covered!

and

The Green Screen

Spend only a few minutes on either one of those and you'l cime back finding us a quiet, gentle bunch!

Testy?

Hardly!

I agree. This is much calmer and more helpful than most, if not all, Philippine forums I've seen. It really is the city of smiles...oops...

... and I insult the grumpy ones after I am sick of them... that does usually a good job to get rid of them...

Anyway, there is a good chance to meet me at Mikes for a cold one...

california-jac I apologize about the grouchy old men. Life has certain issues in the Philippines some things will not change it is the way it is just learn to deal with it. But I am sure when you weigh things out it is a wonderful way of living here in the Philippines. Life moves at a slow pace easy and relaxing there is never a hurry to do things. I lived there for five years. Now that I am away there is never a day that I haven’t wished I was back home in the Philippines. I miss it so.

california jac,

I agree with you that there are too many people who obviously don't have a life, so they need to spread their half-wisdom around here. On thing I see is that there are quite some "just wrong" statements and "my-way or no way" statements which can confuse readers. At the end I think Rhoody and the Dane are doing a wonderful job in creating this website and keeping the waves low. I know other boards where people really bashing each other or pinoy-boards where everything is just fantastic.
Maybe it's just the weather...

Agree! Here in Japan most forum for foreigners' main purpose I guess is to brag and shred each other into pieces. This website is one of the finest example, www.gaijinpot.com

I find this Dumaguete forum, what gentle foreigners should be.

Cheers to all!

Some here have had bad experiences and whether or not I agee with their philosophy I have learned something from what they have said. Even though I was married in Dumaguete, civil and church, and visit whenever possible and still plan to base my family there to live, I am pretty much sheltered by asawa ko and her relatives. For instance when I visit I never need to eat out, stay in a motel, or have to worry about local transportation. My wife has an extensive network of friends and relatives in Cebu and Manila whom she does not hesitate to call on when we need them. That being said I enjoy getting out now and then and I have learned more about what is available in Duma and environs from this site then I have on all of my visits so far. And as my personal affairs get in order I am going to make an effort to be more sociable and this site is a definate assist in that area too. So happy postings to everyone.
