I found it perfectly readable, and not only that, I agreed with every word. He's only telling it as it is, maybe that's what you really find objectionable?

I am willing to do an effort but the lack of punctuation and separate sentences or paragraphs makes his posts unreadable for me (and I am not the only one that reacted already on this). If that is his 'trademark' and he wants to stick with it, that's fine for me but with that writing style it's only natural that his posts will be largely overlooked.

ThailandRyan Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Just spoke to a friend from the US who normally comes for 6 weeks at Christmas time and trains in Muay Thai down in Phuket. She would normally get an education Visa, but that is not available anymore for studying Muay Thai. She is a business owner who is a silent partner in the Gym that she trains at. The reality is that she has no ties to the country, no condo, no house, and even though she has money and could buy she would rather not. She has basically been told that she will probably be able to get back here by Christmas 2021 or later. This information she obtained from a friend who works for the Government in Phuket. To say the least she was not to keen on going into a 14 day ASQ and spending close to 7K USD and jump thru the hoops for an STV, which she would not get because she is a US Citizen, even though she also has Grenada Citizenship as well. For her the new normal is Zoom Meetings, and no business travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's commenting the style of the post not the poster. I dont have an issue with reading his post but sometimes when I see a long unpunctuated paragraph I also move on to the next post. To say they will ONLY be overlooked by deniers seems a generalization without evidence. And you characterize his comment as an "attack" I read it again seems fairly polite and a suggestion ...what do you characterize as an attack? ...perhaps a few of your comments might qualify Edited October 29, 2020 by Bluedan grammar :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I need a Vietnam trip to Cam Ranh bay for a catch-up with a few friends who live there, and a visit to my favorite coffee place Of course playing some golf right out in front of a Villa I would stay at would be nice as well, since my clubs are still in the storage room there...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really keen to visit my family in Australia and also to surf in Indonesia which is less crowded than ever probably since the 1970's, but I have a business here and can't risk not being able to return.

My lifestyle is absolutely unchanged. I can only think it refers to international travel, which certainly has been affected. Otherwise, no changes here.... A normal lifestyle is that you live with various viruses every day. Flu, Cold ,cold sore virus, and many more . Corona VIrus is something that you'll have to live with and take precautions against it like the cold and flu. Your immune system must be up to scratch . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vaccine program relies on herd immunity to be successful. Pro-vaxxers claiming that there is no such thing as herd immunity, to emphesize the need for a vaccine are either totally confused or trying to push an agenda to vaccinate EVERYBODY (a Big Pharma wet dream)...
