Am I being treated Unfairly?

[KeithD]

Perhaps he should read this;

At the risk of being slated, I think he has been treated unfairly, I've read his original post and there is truth in all of it. We know that there are some bad as well as so many good Filipinas, we know that there are gold diggers in all societies, there has been examples of women (all nationalities) getting into a country via romance then ditching their husband.


So why has he been so lambasted.... or am I missing something ??


The only thing that I can guess at is that he put himself up as expert judge but is that so bad ?

He may not really said it directly or not say anything bad at all but...if you are too smart enough it should be the big boss here that has to do with what he has been trying to offer for advices or he should have made his own forum.

Gerry if he hadn't have chosen the name jameskirk, maybe I'd have taken him more seriously, and no, I'd doubt if he's an expert judge. Also his posts are not really relevant to FilipinoUK. Let's face it, if a British guy suspects his Filipina girlfriend of scamming, he's hardly going to trust the opinion of a "James Kirk", someone who "accidentally found this forum"?

Do a google search for "Pointman Cebu", now he's an expert in the field of spotting scammers.

he's hardly going to trust the opinion of a "James Kirk", someone who "accidentally found this forum"? I don't disagree with that but I just think that the abuse he got was OTT, if anyone was to do a search, you will find that some of the most respected members of this forum have made similar statements.

I just feel that everyone jumped on the bandwagon of abuse, if say...for example admin or yourself had said something positive after the original post, I bet you most posters after that would not have said anything negative.

No, I don't buy that, and don't try to shift the blame on me (or Keith).

This is a free forum, everyone is allowed their own opinion and I don't believe that everyone was being negative just because Keith, Joe or myself didn't say anything positive after jameskirk's original post. I'm sure most members on here have their own mind, and I'm even more sure that they don't just post just to appease Mr Admin or either me or Joe, if so, it would be a very boring forum.

Without sounding patronising, I closed the other thread to save jameskirk any further embarrasment and ridicule, and at the time (and now) I think jameskirk was bang out of order for what he said.

No, I don't buy that, and don't try to shift the blame on me (or Keith). It wasn't about blame, don't know how you came to that conclusion, it was just an example.

Ok if that's your opinion, we'll leave it at that.

Gerry, I assure you that if I was here I will be the first one to burn him. Not because I want to please anyone, but just to make him realize that he needs a little more learning. I would not call it an abuse as you stated but I would give him a lesson that there is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.
