New? 

 

To the contrary, it is well-established. 

 

There are some here for whom indignation is all that's left.

Council House Affiliated Vermin.????

Thais know the word <deleted> and believe it to be always derogatory every time they hear it, but not so,not understanding that it is a widely used adjective, in Britain.as in " <deleted> you are gorgeous "

Don't you find that a bit concerning ?

A female bar owner can give abuse to people , film their reaction , put it on FB and the guy gets even more abuse and threats .

Yes and no.

The guy behaved like an <deleted>. He saw that she filmed him and he supplied his name and facebook details.

I didn't see that the bar owner abused him.

Normally I know people don't make pictures or videos in bars. But that was not exactly inside a girly bar and nobody except the idiot was recognizable in that video.

And with all the people who wrote those comments on facebook: It's easy to write but would they act like that?

If the guy from the video tells the wrong guy to <deleted> off he will get beaten up - with or without facebook.

Normally I try to stay away from such people.

If they want to fight each other please go ahead and do it. But do it somewhere where innocent people don't get involved.

Another  " F" ine English specimen.

Many were dumped in OZ long ago , more in Thailand nowadays.

His actions affect him and he can think about it, once he wakes up.

I would think that his mentality/IQ wouldn't consider that. ????

Recognising and calling out bad and unacceptable social behaviour is hardly being "sanctimonious"! ???? 

My god Jamie your ugly????

Sure, but it was an attempt at humour, directed at what i perceive as a "witch-hunt" mentality.

I did not like that guy behaviour, but i liked even less the reaction from the "sanctimonious" crowd.

btw, it seems his facebook page is closed, but i read some comments there, some really over the top.

I understand what you mean in that 'everyone' seemed to 'stick-together' in their disdain for behavior such as this... However, it's not a witch-hunt or sanctimonious actions, it's simply unity... the opinions of the vast majority of posters are unanimous in their disdain for this character and his behavior. 

 

Those who left personal messages on his Facebook are a little daft... there's no point triggering a personal conflict with someone so clearly unstable.

Well, you are one of the wisest here, and i appreciate very much your balanced opinion.

That said, you say "little daft personal messages" , but some of them, not to say most, were much more than daft, more shocking, if you consider that they are coming from supposedly mature, quiet Western retirees.

Indeed, anyone who feels it necessary to leave an insulting or abusive message on a strangers 'account' because they don't like them may do better to look inwards for the sanity of their behavior must also be brought into question.

 

Leaving comments in response to an article or thread on a web-forum is one thing, contacting the 'offender' directly is just stooping to his level.

The man has been physically threatened with his life. God help the people responsible for this.

it is a witch-hunt, that's terrible having his Facebook shut down for getting drunk and telling a tuk tuk driver to f off. I've told tuk tuk drivers and bar staff the same as they deserved it, but in a nicer way, to be fair.

Way below his level, IMO. As are the generic Brit bashing attacks based on the actions of one individual. 

 

He's not a typical Brit, far from it.

Not sure i detect a bit of sarcasm here, but fair enough.. I don't think that it's "terrible" to shut a fb account, i can only guess he had enough of the abuse.

I completely agree with the 2nd part, i used to be rude sometimes, until a few years ago, but recently i learned that i gain nothing from being rude, cultivating peace of mind is much better.

Oh no, once again a quality Brit tourist with large vocabulary...

Maybe the clue was in the 'us'.

Goodness, so you are generalising about Brit behaviour and you are a Brit. So you act like a Brit and behave this way?

So in general its ok to tell some one to f...off if you disagree with them?? more civil ways to handle a dispute then making a seen and a dick of your self.

As personal attacks on his Facebook page, well its something I would not do but if your going to leave it open to the public this is bound to happen.

I can remember sitting in a bar/restaurant in Pattaya and a large old American was sat at a nearby table with a Thai woman. He continually bellowed at the top of his voice, "All Thais are liars! All Thais are thieves!". Americans do, generally, have the reputation of being loud and obnoxious but I chose not to judge all Americans by one man's behaviour and now have American friends who don't behave in this way, although I do from time to time, see Americans behaving in this way in bars.

 

Both my son and daughter have holidayed in Thailand with their respective partners and behaved and looked a world away from this one individual. You probably don't notice the thousands of Brits that holiday in Thailand and behave impeccably, you just care to judge all by the standard of a minority of stand out individuals who's behaviour doesn't match up to our standards. A bit like Trump calling all Mexicans murderers, drug dealers and criminals.

 

Blatantly racist.

I do not think that many of us judge "all" by the actions of a so many slobs. Just seems that from some countries there are too many loudmouthed, obnoxious (possibly drunk/drugged) slobs mouthing off, in public, that makes them stand out from their fellow, decent, countrymen.
