This is a dormant forum, unfortunately. Mostly, I think, because the site administrators prefer to exercise a monopoly on what is published here. Over 90% of the threads are created by the administrators (Tex and Cyril) - with all goodwill, I'm sure, but it seems to be a large put-off for other contributors. I've no idea how many members Easy Expat has, but apparently not a single one of them has any interest in commenting on the original posts. That's sad.

It might be better - and more welcoming - if Easy Expat would allow names other than their own staff's to feature on the threads. Let's watch and see. It's worth a try; the existing procedure has failed, surely.

My personal blog carries news about my home territory from time to time - mixed in with comments on world affairs and occasional reminiscences of my childhood in the Australian bush and of my travels through the Middle East and the Soviet Empire long ago. In January I posted a brief essay called "Standards in Public Life", telling of a rather nasty anti-expat outburst by a local politician, in this British colony where contempt of foreigners as a species is a sure vote-winner. One can find it by Googling that title, with the name of my blog (Barlow's Cayman) in front of it.

I would be glad to answer questions about my Caribbean home - beginning with the topic of the anti-expat sentiment, if any reader would like.
