I didn't even join this discussion about Poster A's departure until post #174, by which time all kinds of accusations and abuse had been thrown against the owner of the forum, and I thought my post was relatively innocuous!
It has just ratcheted up continually since then, for which I take my share of the responsibility, in a way that is probably tedious for everyone, so I am dropping this now, with one final comment.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of who did what to whom, and was it in the library with the candlestick, neither of the owner/moderators at the other gay thailand forums, or the predecessors here, would have tolerated the level of personal abuse that has been directed against Surfcrest, and had I been in his position, I know that I wouldn't have stood for it!
For that he deserves respect, and he deserves thanks for keeping this forum running.
