Haven't you being paying attention for the last fifty years? I'm sorry, the middle east isn't nice. It's just a means to the end. When the oil runs out, it will be Xanadu meets Ozymandias.

how is it possible to pull rank on a forum unless you're a moderator? to be honest i don't care what you think or how you feel about your encounter with the 'oldies' as you call us. i don't think i have been too personal nor rude, but hey ho some people are terribly sensitive...

you'd be surprised how nice i can be, but frankly i think you had your chance and you wasted it. so good luck. adliya is nice enough (for now)..

Us so called oldies are not braging. Far too many of us have the scars.
Take the advice given. Yes, we are cynical.

With good reason. If you know it all please tell us. Some of us have been out here for thirty years, and everyday is still another day of learning something new.

Default Re: Off-topic stuff from the "Anyone about to Land in Bahrain" thread

I've moved a ton of posts from the "Anyone about to Land in Bahrain" thread.

If you have to disagree please do so without getting personal. Some of the comments here (directed I might add to a new member) and out of order, and looks to other people viewing this thread that you have ganged up on another member and it's coming across in a bullying manner.

I might also add that new members also have to play their part. You can't come on to a forum and make assumptions about members you know nothing about. Take some time, get the feel for the land and get to know other members. Many of the members who post here have know each other for a long time and some know each other in real life.

So agree to disagree, debate, discuss ... but stop the personal remarks.

Thanks.

Thread closed.
