Only you could even entertain that thought............

actually no...I am not alone in all this...but yes, the only one that will say it out loud perhaps...

Give us all a 'flavour' of the sort of thing you will post if you find out that it's all genuine............??

not sure what you mean...
but lets just say that I hate to see people being taken for a ride...and if that makes me a bitch or insensitive or whatever...so be it....I won't lose any sleep over it, as you well know.

which it is, how could anyone sit down and write a post as moving as that if it wasn't.

maybe someone who has big big problems...I am not saying it's done as a joke...

cos it's just pixels, anything can be done on here...

MM, xx

So let everyone who feels that way say so openly - then when Europe wakes up, USExpat can read your views, and will have the chance to respond.....

anyway...on a more general note...we say the most horrible things about royalty, celebrities etc...and no one bats one eyelid...this is a poster that no one has ever met, could be anyone, the internet is a strange place...and it's all of a sudden different...

but if I am wrong, I apologize...

sure...thing is, they might not want to, and why should they....
I am the bitch on here already so I don't mind...I just thought it was very weird for 3 men with ties to the USA and Holland and with exactly the same use of language, words, expressions, all having met, etc to come on BE and post like they have...it's just an observation...and I have posted that before on here...so it's not like I am saying anything new...just seems weird, that's all...and if it is not genuine, than that's bad.

So where is your Christmas goodwill spirit? Do you honestly think that someone would take that much trouble just to wind up a few expats over here? We are small fry and not really worth it.

it's got nothing to do with Xmas...

I have no idea why anyone would do that...I just made an observation based on what 3 users have written, that's all.

MH - I really hope what you say turns out true, I'd much rather it is a wind-up than true, because I felt awful reading the two posts......

Do you reckon this one on my favourite Forum could be a fake too?
