Popular Post philw Posted January 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Why is it that a group of about 15 (or so) posters utterly dominate the news thread with their vociferous hatred of anything to do with Thaksin, Yingluck, red shirts or the people who won the last few elections ?? What motivates these people who make tens of posts each day repeating the same old mantra ?? Why are they so insulting and dismissive of the electorate of Thailand, who have clearly voted their preferences over the last 15 years or so ? I raise the question because I am perplexed by the level of expressed hate in the news section. Why so much bile from so few ?? Why so prolific ?

kkerry Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=ignoredusers Threads are so much shorter when you block the core of posters who cannot refrain from posting multiple consecutive posts in the News threads. One poster in particular must sit in front of his computer refreshing his browser all day long. It's amazing to see him be the first to reply so many times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Masters Voice Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Freedom of speech. We complain when others have it, we complain when we are censored. Not saying though that the original premis of the question isn't correct. Personally, I tend to stay away from the Local (Thai) News Forum. BTW, if you think it bad, spare a thought for the Mods who have to troll through the comments. I thinking watching Thai Soaps would be less painfull then that task. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post His Masters Voice Posted January 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2015 Re-reading the original post, you actually do yourself a mis-service. Your title suggests domination of a forum by some thugs. But the body of your text is essentially a political comment. Now you have dragged the Political Debate into the General forum. IMHO, not good form. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony5 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Why is it that a group of about 15 (or so) posters utterly dominate the news thread with their vociferous hatred of anything to do with Thaksin, Yingluck, red shirts or the people who won the last few elections ?? Maybe it is because in every subforum there are only a limited number of knowledgeable members, that jump straight out of the average poster, and actually 90% of foreigners hate everything to do with Thaksin and his cronies with a reason. Hey, now I think about, looks like Fab4 and consorts even have jumped ship. Feeling lonely? Edited January 23, 2015 by Anthony5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhamBam Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Some like to vent their vitriol and feel this is the best way to do it. Labour v Conservatives Republicans v Democrats Red v Yellow. Junta v Democracy There are plenty of them out there who feel it is their sworn duty to vent about something they have so little or no control over. Personally, I leave them to it and keep my political opinions to myself in a country where my voice means the same as theirs....nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 the electorate of Thailand, who have clearly voted their preferences over the last 15 years or so ? Don't you mean the electorate that have voted the way they were paid to do? If you don't like the posters that dominate the threads, get your own clique to start posting as much as them.

Popular Post canuckamuck Posted January 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2015 Certainly some of the saddest posters here are high volume posters in the news threads. I can't imagine how these people can have such strong devotion to either side, or such adamant hatred of the other. Picking sides is like trying to prove which pig in the pen is less like a pig. I usually avoid commenting the news forum because the thread will end up in my content folder and I will have to avoid clicking on it until the thing dies a sad death several weeks down the road. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Actually the news forum is dominated by people who have seen the truth about YL and her minions. For me its proof that its harder to deceive people with an decent education as without. The majority ofnthe newsforum has seen through the lies of YL, unlike many Thais. I blame it on education. There were some real prolific red shirt posters too. But they stopped posting after the money dried up. As for the remark they are all bad, I 100% agree but the Shins were the worst so far. They even had a minister who said lying was ok, and he was in YL her defense team. Bit like that minister from Irak saying there are no Americans in Irak while you saw the tanks on the background. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 And the others are the red posters, who only cheer the Shinawatras. "Won the election" "voted their preference"? Are you new to Thailand? Not seen the full scale vote buying? If it would be the peoples preference than why would they have spent billions for vote buying? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wow64 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) I am sick of reading the posts. Such a strong opinion on something they have no say in and both sides are as bad as one another.

Ironic, considering your tagline. Although I am a fan of irony, I hadn't noticed Jingthing was one who spams the news thread with religious zeal over his chosen shirt color champion. I am not even aware that he has an opinion. Mostly because the news thread are such an onerous place to be these days that I make an effort to stay away. I like Jingthing for his consistent contributions and his sense of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
