As already pointed out, Stalin put Hitler distinctly in the shade with his prowess for putting millions to death, and you don't have to look very far to find other runners-up, so what's the big taboo with Hitler? I for one came here to escape the strychnined, egg-shell tip-toeing that passes for daily existence in the "mustn't offend anyone" West. grow a set & stop projecting your insecurities into what everyone knows to be one of the most polite cultures on the block.

This is a quick note for all you posters who seem to get some kind of kick out of purposely trying to harm the sale of Tuskers and for trying to run down a number of local businesses whenever the chance arises.

Well done for being so brave - you really are big men, sitting behind your computer, using an anonymous name and making snide comments just out of spite. While everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, some people have clearly used the opportunity to get ‘one up on us’.  If we have been so awful to you that you can’t think of anything else to do other than trying to jeopardize the sale of our business then please let me know who you are and what we’ve done. If you’re simply doing it because you just don’t like us, is that a really fair fight?

You know us, you know what we do and you know why we’re doing it.  I have no idea who you are, what you do or why.  Tell me your names, what you all do and then let me have a vicious conversation about you on an open internet forum – then we might be playing on an even keel. Does running a business (whether you like it or not) give someone else the right to get personal and nasty about them on a public forum?  Personally, I don’t think so but then I respect other people, their privacy and their right to make their own decisions.  

The details of the sale of Tuskers are no one’s business but our own and those of a potential buyer. The vicious comments by anonymous posters this week has caused unnecessary stress to me and my baby. You have no right to do this.

Here we go again…to compare 'Red Shirts' with Hitler's movement is puerile… as an ex-journalist you should keep you balance and perspective - you don't contribute to the Chiang Mai Mail do you?



Does anyone really think the problems 'went away' because of the events in Krung Thep?



I have consistently posted against violence and they really made HUGE errors of judgment down there - an anti-violence Ghandi-ish movement would have been far more intelligent and meaningful.



Some of the actions were despicable – on both sides – shooting people in the head whilst being interviewed isn’t exactly the epitome of democracy is it?  however the burnings etc. were a horror we should all despise.


However, they have some valid points and to dismiss them is foolhardy - it isn't over...



I am also not a Thaksin apologist before the venom of some yellows start hollering that all red sympathizers are Thaksinites.



A fair and honest (TIT I know) general election (monitored by an outisde agency - maybe the UN) might take some of the sting out of the situation – after all the government hasn’t been elected – let the people decide if they support the present government – if they do – then so be it.



I am more frightened of the rich manipulators in Krung Thep than I am of a gathering of protestors – you want frightening? Go see Mugabe’s thugs or the Talibans 'justice' – let’s keep perspective folks!

OK ... -2 -- From the little boy's Father's fund raising website: Life often isn't fair and there is little we can do to change that.

Neverdie is constantly making fun of me because my rep is so low compared to his. If only some kind soul would have pity on me and click that little green button with the plus sign on the right hand side at the bottom of every one of my posts.
