You have two options....

After reading the train-wreck of a FDH thread and a couple of emails that I've seen in our e-commerce support account, I have to wonder - are some of you drinking too much coffee? Has your coffee been spiked with meth?

Well, here are some behavioural tweaks you might want to consider, if you get your kicks by going online to rave, rant, belittle someone...



Not including the second page of the ad, as it will just give a few folks to start bashing the US.

Wow, did I miss something? Reading geoexpat posts, I know its kind of a tradition of sorts for posters to have heated arguments on here (sometimes over very trivial and nonsensical things I have to say), but wow, what went on in the FDH thread?

I don't partake generally but I have to say that I often find these train wreck thread incredibly amusing and it helps pass my otherwise boring day at work.

I know, but you often have to wonder ... who the heck are these people and do they really carry this anger around with them or is it just some arm chair warrior thing.

The other day, we received an email from a customer on our online store "shocked, horrified" and all sorts of hyperbolic language - all for a book where the cover was slightly damaged in transit. No big deal for us, we'll re-order and replace, but the tone and the anxiety just makes me wonder.

Once the usual subjects/suspects have taken over a thread, I don't bother reading it anymore - waste of my time.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the worst of those posters have left geoexpat already?

Fourth option, and the one I am about to take, is to go on a mass ignore feast. Will make any thread related to Islamic terrorism or helpers much shorter but will preserve my sanity.

I wish I had the option of ignoring ... I do mentally ignore, but then the usual suspects start reporting each other's posts with intense editorial remarks... blaming the downfall of civilisation on the fact that I missed an earlier report which was sent at 3:14AM.

And then there is this other clown, who after several weeks is back with a new user name and up to his usual shit.
