Re: Firecat69 has died ...
“erudite”?????!!!!! Jesus wept. I recall lunching with him one day and mentioning the name of the Boys Bangkok boy whose company I had enjoyed the previous evening and hoped to enjoy again later in the week. Shortly afterwards I received an SMS from said lad informing me that firecat69 had told him I had AIDS (I don’t). He was a first-class [insult deleted] and was as I recalled banned by Surfcrest or his predecessor. He commuted when I knew him between (again as I recall) Seattle where his ailing father lived, and Thailand.
Re: Firecat69 has died ...
I knew him only by his writings on Sawatdee and GayThailand. Never met him in the flesh.
I certainly defer to your knowledge of his personality. One other member here has PM'ed me along the lines of what you say.
Re: Firecat69 has died ...
That description by Firecat69 and reposted by Smiles certainly rings bells - very distant bells. I wonder when it was posted as he states that most of the boys in the various bars he describes were tops. Looking back to my first visits to Bangkok in the late 80s and 90s, finding bottom boys in the bars was a breeze. In fact I got the impression that a majority were bottom - or certainly extremely versatile. Since he mentions HotMale, I reckon it must surely have been posted after around 2000 when the original Twilight bar changed its name and revamped its interior.
But the memories of so many boys in each of the bars illustrate, as Smiles states, how radically the gay bar scene has changed and how it is now a mere shadow of what it once was. So sad!

You can reasonably infer from the single post of his you quoted that he regarded having first dibs on every gogo boy in Soi Twilight as his inalienable right. I hadn’t heretofore realised that it’s possible to insult the dead, but as a Moderator has seen fit to edit my post I guess that must be so. Perhaps I should explain that my contact with him was via the now defunct “Cruising for Sex” board where the Moderator was none other than the poster who now holds himself out here as “sglad”.
Re: Firecat69 has died ...
I had the unpleasant opportunity to have American Thanksgiving with him and Micheal of GayThailand fame year’s ago at the Amore restaurant in Pattaya also with the now deceased company of another poster “Windwwalker”.
Re: Firecat69 has died ...
My apologies I meant “Rainwalker”.

There is a convention that we speak positively of the deceased, or say nothing.
I'm just about managing to follow that, with difficulty.
