we are all adults, no kids on school holidays here, to be a taxi
driver must 30 years old, somehow this issue degenerated into name
calling and post deleting
i figure the split is too deep, the argument has escalted to a
point where probably nothing can be done to appease each party.
this taxi forum, the limo forum, and the taxi drivers forum has
become too public, with too much exposure, and ultimately has
proven to be detrimental to taxi driving...
i have made many good friends through the forum, from total
strangers to becoming friends who support each other, share info
about driving and take our nite time breaks together. joking
supporting and keeping each other awake through the nite. since the
palringo group started, i noticed i drive more motivated, longer
hours, happier and much better takings.
Seeing the forum destruct in such a way because of individual
ego trips is sad in a way, but i think ultimately for the best. i
think the taxi drivers will form our own grouping/palringo and
forum and info sharing will continue abeit behind closed doors and
in not such a public forum as sgforum.
there are many things we encounter and perhaps ways in which we
need to defend ourselves as taxi drivers that are best just shared
within our profession, and should not be exposed to the public.
perhaps in a more restricted environment, such an argument wouldnt
have escalated into having to close down the forum. after all if
there isnt the need to defend ones ego so vigoriously then the need
to esclate it and start name calling and shit stirring also
lessens.
i figure that perhaps its time to start on a clean slate, delete
all the past discussions in the taxi drivers forum, erase all the
eniminities, info in the limo forum and in this forum can
remain,after all that isnt under our control. We will still
continue to share info in the palringo platform and we will evolve
to suit our needs, the needs of the taxi driver. time to move
on
just my twenty two cents worth.
Come on lah..Taxi Drivers are more resilient than this
bah...Everyday face difficult customers also can take...Simple
forum bashing cannot take meh? All want to clamp up and hide in
your shell? Who are the casualties? Your pride and ego
only what...
Taxi Drivers do not operate alone, contrary to what others
think. They are part of a whole public service ecosystem
comprising Taxi Companies, Government Authorities, Customers, other
Taxi Drivers, road users etc.
Taxi Drivers have the responsibility to educate pax and vice
versa. Hopefully through forums like this, we can share and learn
more. Everyone can be enlightened; taxi drivers and their
passengers.
To be enlightened, it does not mean that only good
things are said. Sometimes, even through cyber fights, you
get enlightened because at the end of it all, you will realise that
your pride and ego will get you nowhere.
It is better to realise this through the cyber world than
to realise it in jail.
And why is that Taxi Driver forum in deep shit now?
Because they revealed too much about themselves, photographs,
parties and all. Never ever reveal your true identity in
public forums or else you will be forced to withdraw
eventually. That's why nicks are there for you to use.
Certain topics should be private only. They are currently
talking about some land survey jobs using taxis, where to meet,
what to do, pricing etc..IN PUBLIC. Pure stupidity if
you ask me. You know why it has been locked lah..should be
removed also bah.
Learn how to handle information first lah..
