The real question here, Mr. Bowman, is whether or not you will accept the Barbados post. Do tell...

Do tell ... Let me tell ... Having thought about the matter and, most importantly, having watched the breathtaking arrogance of obvious racists on this forum, my wife and I have decided to take a post in Haiti, where the racists are at least immediately identifiable and therefore can be ignored.

Wait, let me get this straight you have chosen Haiti over Barbados? Notwithstanding his post or any of the replies and/or comments I am surprised. I had a friend in graduate school-- his father had a post in Haiti for a bit and they couldn't hack it. What advantages does Haiti have for you, if you don't mind my asking.

Of course, I’m sorry to hear about your friend’s father who couldn’t “hack it” in Haiti. Perhaps your friend’s father was not equal to the task.

I’m in the business of making poor people less poor. I am not in the business of having a “lifestyle” as a previous poster mentioned. Does this help? I hope so.

There's no reasoning with you,Mr Bowman, in any language!
We have all been trying to help you with your request of the topic and all you have done after Olderman's post is being arrogant and nasty.
In life is what you give is what you get!!

And Haiti? You have NO idea about Haiti!!!!!

Jack, I have read all the post in this thread that you started, and it is you who started this hostility. What is wrong with you ? What have you got against those who like and recommend Barbados as a good place to live.

Please think carefully about what you are writing because from where I am standing it looks as though it is you that has some kind of problem which you need to sort out in your head. Please do not use the racist card so loosely because I take offence to this.

You asked a question, people have been kind enough to try and help you, and then you resort to these childlike tactics for no known reason.

You are making yourself look silly, so please put an end to this unproductive crap. Go in peace and live in peace.

As to you, “pgtips”, I always favoured Typhoo, myself. “Liptons” tea, obviously, is deeply sad, almost as sad as people who believe they have a “lifestyle”. I appreciate why you wouldn’t have chosen Liptons or Twinings, both of them very poor teas. But there are, in the world, better teas than PG Tips. Perhaps you should have chosen one of them. I mean, if you’re going to be so cowardly as to put a brand of tea rather than your real name onto an opinion, why should anyone take the opinion seriously?

I don’t have time to answer you in full now, because of my busy “lifestyle”. But as soon as I do, you can bet that you’ll be hearing from me.

All best wishes to you.

JB

PS. trutje. If you didn't understand this message, let me try to make it easier for you ...

After reaching your final decision regarding Haiti I do hope that you will find a discussion board that will entertain your questions regarding your impending relocation.

I do find it rather odd that you continue to lurk around here amongst people and/or persona's that you do not like long after you have made your decision not to come to Barbados. There is no question in my mind that you are not who you say you are, and unfortunately, just here to stir up trouble.
