Guest rainwalker Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Your Highnesses, Your Excellencies, My Lords and Ladies, Respected Members of the Clergy, Boys and Girls, Children of all ages... Firstly let me say what great pleasure and an honour for me to be able to invite you to this very special occasion: the 4th Annual Friends of the Gay Forums Invitational Curling Banquet and Swap-meet. The details are below. Every year, this invitation is graciously extended to the nobility of the Gay Internet Realm from near and from afar, allowing us opportunity to shew forth our best manners and best representations of the fashion and formality of the truly cultured. How delighted I will be to welcome all the distinguished guests from within the Borough and beyond who will join us in celebration. It will be wonderful to see you all here in our beautiful town on that splendid day. Our most elegant forum event of the year, The Gay Forums Gathering has a loyal and devoted annual following among the local aristocracy and also attracts distinguished guests from afar. As always, this event will be a splendid affair and it will be a great pleasure to enjoy the dress, manners, and conversation of the nobility of our own Forums posters. The assembly will attract persons of as fine a calibre as to be found in any gathering in the realm. This social occasion will be filled with splendour, elegance and intrigue - Is that homintern? Which one is Hedda? - and we will have the renewed pleasure of meeting both familiar and new acquaintances, the nobility of Pattaya, Bangkok and elsewhere. The entire afternoon will be charming, especially after the 3rd or 4th adult beverage is imbibed. There are several protocols mandatory at the gathering... Sir, madame, and other appropriate titles should be used as well as please and thank you. Bows and curtseys are good form when being introduced or before or after a dance. Compliments and encouragement are signs of grace and respect. Conversations between gentlemen on volatile subjects such as hydra posters or Sunee Plaza may be animated and passionate but never crude or base. We attract a very gracious, higher class group of ladies and gentlemen to our yearly event. All are expected to behave with the manners, decorum, tastefulness, grace, respect and gratitude appropriate to genteel manners, behavior, and appearances. This high level of respect and gentility is expected not only in person but also in communications such as posting on the Internet or personal messages. Gracious and respectful conduct and conversation are expected of all, to all, and at all times. Unfortunately, there have been circumstances when harassment, threats, coarse comments or other obnoxious behaviour were displayed by forum members and, regretfully, one such a person who has egregiously abused other posters is no longer welcome. It is my pleasure to invite you to The 4th Annual All Gay Forums Orthinological Palaeontology Seminar to be held between 4 and 7 PM on Saturday, December 1, 2007 at Corner Bar in Sunee Plaza, Pattaya, Thailand. The Event A gathering of Friends of Gay Forums with adult beverages, scintillating conversation, and, best of all, bonhomie The Place Corner Bar Sunee Plaza, Pattaya The Time and Date 4 o'clock - 7 o'clock Saturday, December 1st, 2007 There will be an open bar and buffet happily provided by Rainwalker in gratitude for the cogent information and good times so freely provided by the folks that contribute to the forums in the spirit of knowing that we are stronger together than alone. The event takes place during the Pattaya Gay Festival Final Four Days: November 29th - December 2, 2007. Visit the PGF website here. Quote
Guest ear wig Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Rainmaker says:- “Your Highnesses, Your Excellencies, My Lords and Ladies, Respected Members of the Clergy”, end of quote. Yes as you are obviously aware I'm in this group, but I must say I could not accept your gracious offer, if you are going to include:- “Boys and Girls, Children of all ages”... What you do in the privacy of your own home, is your business, but to flaunt it to the good members of the forums, I would say is slightly distasteful. Rainmaker says:- “Unfortunately, there have been circumstances when harassment, threats, coarse comments or other obnoxious behavior were displayed by forum members and, regretfully, one such a person who has egregiously abused other posters is no longer welcome”. As for you banning one member namely ‘Catawampus’ “TheCat” just because he has Insulted a few queens or made up lies, about them or even ranted and raved recently also angered a few Bar owners, who I hear are gunning for him……and has got a very bad reputation, in and around Pattaya, This is not reason to ban him, I’m sure some of those nasty people he has Insulted or abused, can stick up for themselves. And I’m sure many would love to chat to him and find out exactly what makes him tick….. at least he is not boring…..No I think you should allow all to come, as I’m sure he will be on his best behavior, well he did sell shoes to some rich drag queens in down town, New York, Including very nice stiletto heals, when he was working, so I’m sure he knows how to conduct himself in such company. Unlike my self who only ever tells the truth about any situation or person, and I’m sure they would have given me the evidence if this was not so, but alas no one ever has. I hope you have a wonderful time, with some wonderful people, by the way, let Gary know, as he tells me, you have never ever mentioned the fact your going to use part of his Bar for your knitting circle. While the rest of his customer just look on in amazment. Quote
khaolakguy Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 So sad that such a generous invitation can be so quickly soiled by old and worn petty feuds Quote
Guest Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 So sad that such a generous invitation can be so quickly soiled by old and worn petty feuds I am not really sure why such a nice letter and offer to all has to even include an exception to one poster. To even mention it IMHO was uncouth. It was discussed in the past and it really wasn’t needed as part of the official announcement. I guess it was to prove a point or add a double exclamation point to an otherwise overly discussed pissing contest. I’m not really sure and I don’t really care, as I won’t be there anyway. I do think Rainwalker is generous to offer this free drink extravaganza to all but don’t think the whole gay forum world being invited except one person was a needed part of an else wise creative, energetic, upbeat and funny announcement. It took away from his magnanimity. That being said, I wish all who are in Pattaya at that time a wonderful time at the event. I have attended when I was in Thailand in the past and enjoyed myself. The timing is perfect as it coincides with the PGF. Have fun guys and enjoy the free booze, nice chats, and gossip. If someone is able to figure out who Hedda is at this event and arranges a brunch with me and her, I'll donate a nice gift to PGF. Not sure Hedda will even go, but I hear she wears Prada. Quote
Guest Hedda Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Not sure Hedda will even go, but I hear she wears Prada. No dear, that's the devil and Meryl Streep who wear Prada. I can't afford it anymore, what with the Baht/dollar exchange rate going to Hell the way it has been. See you on December 1. I'll be the one not wearing yellow, pink, green or blue. Quote

Guest consumerismsux Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Well, since I am a new member to the "gaythailand" forum, I shall attend in a rather drab "jeans & T-Shirt" outfit, which should no doubt both stimulate & sicken some people at the same time. Nonetheless, I shall try to be on my best behaviour, which is not limited to talking/reacting about; 1] cultural issues. 2] religious issues. 3] sexual issues. 4] any other (boring) issues, unless they include electrical engineering (which I love). I simply love to talk about all the "banned" subjects. Looking forward to meeting you there, Rob. Quote
