This is a Response in part to a previous post in the Chiang Mai section that accused this fine forum of being controlled by liberal democrats.

I will agree with you that this site is no different than so many other media outlets, to say that it is motivated by political ideology is however being much too generous.

The fact is that bills have to be paid and sponsors pay them, the operation has to keep running smoothly and as such they are afraid of 'rocking the boat'.

As much as this appears to be a 'public forum' it is only that in the sense of being publicly accessible for reading.

It is not, I think, a matter of them trying to affect some outcome, besides economic return. More a case of them being the victim of a process.

What I am wondering, is anyone here aware of discussion groups or media outlets that are do not stifle honest opinion? This need not be a competing website, I am sure that would get this thread closed fairly quickly. Rather I mean actual clubs, events, screenings and get togethers.

In the event that you yourself are not aware of such venues, would you like to know of them if there were?

You would be welcome to PM me, although I hope that this might have wider appeal as well.

Many Thanks in Advance.
