@Mark *****

it is. That is the grace period 👍🏼

This group has a lot of history, experience and advice 👍🏼

Try popping some keywords into the search bar 🔍 at the top of the group’s page and you’ll get loads of ideas and stories of what others have done. Like they say, where there’s a will there’s a way ✨

Congratulations you must be so relieved 🍻

@Rayona ***************

me too with the sleep mask! When I put it on, it’s like when you put the blanket over a birdcage. My brain immediately gets the message. 😆

@David **********

no thank you. 🙂‍↔️ nope.

@Ruth ******

I’ve lived in Thailand and Vietnam both for extended periods of time- I suppose it is a bit worse in, Thailand but it’s just so ick.

@David **********

so bad your explanation it is the victims who should dodge the bullets rather than the drunks not be invited to bring their guns?

Because it’s worse this is ok? What a standard.

Groups are only like this in Thailand and Vietnam. It’s ridiculous.

@Ruth ******

indeed the desperate and silly attempts to normalize this behavior is embarrassing.

@Ken **********

indeed he has been helpful- 💯! but leadership would suggest keeping the knives out to a minimum and trying to create a peaceful group. I am shocked and disappointed but not… this was exactly the answer to OPs question ‘why is it like this?’ - well

@ ***************

y, because it’s allowed and now it’s received an empathetic stamp of approval. Cuz there’s a good reason to be rude. Wah. 🙄

@Stefani *******

I felt the same way. OP asked and he explained- thereby clarifying to the ones that participate in this behavior, that it’s understandable and they need not worry about curbing their urges to eviscerate someone coming for exactly what the name says. It says advice it doesn’t say specifics, it doesn’t say advice after you’ve reached a certain level of knowledge - people sometimes don’t know what advice they need ffs!!

And I admin 3 groups- most people don’t know how to find the rules in a group or that groups have a search bar.
