I find to this all very sad, I joined this forum as an alternative KF which I have been a fairly inactive member of for a couple of years, but still found useful and added my two penneth when I thought necessary. All I have read since joining this forum is a diatribe of comments slagging off one particular guy who lives in the Korat community and is obviously not liked. However it's almost reminicent of guys with white hoods over their heads baying for someone. Come on guys, surley there must be more to Korat than the constant villification of one individual who has clearly got up your noses. If this is the sum total of this forum then I am sorry I joined, even the poop and nappy bolllocks that seemed to take over KF in it's final throws seemed more interesting.................just my five opinion thanks.
Hi sfs,
welcome to this forum! And thanks for voicing your opinion!
That we keep informing about the crimes and other illegal actions and violations of the laws and other peoples' rights this certain person committed is for the purpose of protection against any further "sad things" to happen, if you can call peoples' deaths just "sad things". If it were a plain wolf running around, threatening your wife and babies wouldn't you alert your fellow expats to the danger they and their families are in? This situation here is worse: it's a wolf in disguise! And we do start reporting only when the wolf has started snapping again. That is our duty as citizens of the world! If we don't warn our fellow expats of the danger they're in, we violate our duties!
I don't blame you for not understanding the problem this person causes to our expat society, because you haven't personally experienced his deeds, you haven't been threatened, abused etc. by him, you didn't have any pain caused by him. But we did! And it were a violation of our duties not to alert our fellow citizens to this danger. I don't blame you for wanting to wear pink sunglases and not see the danger people in our community are in. But you should let everyone decide for himself whether he wants to expose himself to that danger or whether he wants to contain it. And especially you should not try to keep others from informing about the problems they had been caused by this individual. What you're doing by that is not a public service, it's counter-productive! You make yourself maybe even an accessory by trying to suppress the truth and the alerts.
Actually I wish we didn't have to focus so much on the actions of this one person; it would bore me, if I didn't think it extremely important for public safety to warn of this wolf in a sheep's clothing. And if you followed, the topics about him never started for nothing, they always, just always, started on the occasion of him doing something to others he doesn't want anybody do to him. Our defense "weapon" isn't a kitchen knife, it's the alert of our fellow expats to watch out. By reporting facts we do not overestimate or exaggerate the danger. But we do not want to get into the situation of not having warned before, if something really bad like the taking of another human life was done by him again. In view of his increased illegal activities we have to increase our warning activity as well. It's for him to stop and live in harmony with society. I wish we could say that he has rehabilitated himself and does not pose a danger to society anymore or again. I don't want to criticize the judges in Canada who believed years ago that he has rehabilitated himself. But maybe they erred or the situation has changed, and he is dangerous again. Watching him develop in Korat over the years I tend to believe the latter.
There are people in Korat who accuse three fellow expats of having played a role in that development to worse. Sorry to say that they haven't followed his actions and our reactions closely enough to judge. It appears to me like they just took his words, words like "Russian hackers from Romania paid by three usual suspects in Korat". He probably meant there were three victims of his illegal actions in Korat. By all means there are far more. But maybe only three persons feel responsible enough to openly alert others to the danger they're in, so the number of victims of his various crimes doesn't increase, so people can protect themselves.
I hope you still enjoy this forum in spite of us having been forced by circumstances to report about serious topics relating to the wolf in sheep's clothing so much!
Cheers,
Johnnie
