Discussion of blindness

[StevieWonders]

Dodgems’ post is almost a fact-free zone:

1. Matt posted several times that he became technically blind while living in Khon Kaen
2. Matt attempted to enter Laos via land and was refused admission because on departure the Thai border authorities had stamped his passport with a multi-year entry prohibition order
3. on presenting himself back at the Thai border (his only option) he was arrested and taken to the Immigration prison in Bangkok from where he was deported to Canada

Had the Lao immigration officials given him entry he would not have been deported from Thailand. Lack of a work permit is irrelevant as he was never apprehended on that basis.

Dodgems himself is pretty much a fact-free zone except when it comes to knowledge of Pattaya’s male prostitutes where he could win Mastermind.

The poster whose name I couldn't remember is kkjason. I believe Dodger chatted with him on this board about his return to Thailand with his father a while ago. Below is what he wrote about Matt in a post of March 26 2018, when scepticism about Matt's blindness was in full swing:


Look - the guy lives - or lived I guess now - right behind the major 9 story temple in town. It is on the town lake where most people go to walk and exercise at night, and have a few drinks. Matt has been living there for years. Many of us have had drinks with him - yes - in person! Admittedly, he is a bit of his own fellow and not my cup of tea, but we all (here in KK) know him. He is a regular poster on our city forum, and many residents have helped him out personally since he lost his vision. What else do you need to know? Again - you all have spent much of your time the past year bashing the guy - perhaps you have nothing better to do? What is your 'evidence' that he does not exist? That sounds like stuff of science fiction since you would have to laser him and eliminate his soul to make that claim. The guy lives and breathes - why can't you all just accept that and move on? I rarely even post when he is involved because it is the stuff of soap operas, yet here you all are now creating 19 pages on this one topic alone. Can you give it a rest already?

Thanks SnotFace, appreciate it.

Thanks SnotFace, appreciate it.

Chin up, Matt.
I wouldn't worry about Todger, he couldn't lie straight in bed- which is kind of ironic, as he lied to people that he was straight for years.

Anyway, didn't he block you? Oh, I think Todge was lying again.

Ohh, no worries, I don't care one iota what he thinks, and that's especially true after he decided to make his views on blind folks known.

matt,

Based on the information that Snotface posted - I stand corrected about my comments regarding your vision impairment and would like to apologize for my crude comments.

My original question still stands: How do you, as a blind person, feel about quarantining during a holiday in Thailand?

Except that wasn't your original question which was a sneering, offensive jibe at Matt:

Why would a blind person be concerned with quarantines to begin with?

I should just leave it at the apology, and keep your head down.

The Bookburners are paranoid delusionists who believe nothing said by anyone outside their little conspiracy. You can see it in post after post after post.
