Since when is it "not cool" on Khmer440 for someone to post "I know an expat who engages in the following comical or disreputable behavior . . . " without naming names?
Fuck, we've got people flat out calling the expat husband of a murderess an accomplice, with no evidence, yet when Scobienz says "I know a guy who has borrowed money and not paid it back" THEN people are outraged, saying "Hey, don't post that on the forum, it could affect someone's job prospects."

This is high comedy. Just because expat in question may or may not have been an owner or a former owner then why does he (or she) get a free pass? I seem to remember this particular character rarely showing the same courtesy him (or herself). The boy does play too much, surely?

Really? Prospective employers will be reading k440 and making employment decisions based upon ancient innuendo and rumours around an anonymous internet handle.
What nonsense.

Do you see what you’ve done here? Scroll up and take another look at your post.

The bloke in question has helped out innemuarble expats and Khmers alike in the best possible way, by giving them a start.gavinmac wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 10:41 amSince when is it "not cool" on Khmer440 for someone to post "I know an expat who engages in the following comical or disreputable behavior . . .

This includes quite a few members of this forum.
Haha - my money’s on Playboy
There is nothing wrong with lending money but it is necessary to have the right perspective. I look at it as an act of charity and expect that I will never be paid back. I think scobienz did the right thing when he lent out a few hundred bucks but refused to lend anymore money.
I didn't see any hints but I agree with your sentiment. The Torah likens gossip to murder because the gossiper is effectively murdering their victim with words and turning the community against the victim. It is this kind of solidarity and refusal to gossip, even when it is true, that has sustained the Jewish nation for three thousand years.violet wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 8:54 amWhile scobie’s information was anonymised it was ok but when people start posting hints about who the expat is I think it is out of order.
