Clampdown on foreigners living in Cambodia with illegal documents

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Yikes, JB! No need to pound him into the ground on an innocent (from an outsider’s view) question. Maybe enlightening the OP about the not so past history might encourage him to be an active participant and not frighten him away?
Yes, and despite I didn't get the logic of what he was saying.....he is a new member after all with only 5 posts..can't members be a bit more diplomatic?

Not only that, but it seems that English is not his native language.

I'm with JB. The post displayed a shocking absence of critical thinking skills...

Same thing happened just yesterday. Another OP (not a newbie but only 39 posts) had a Confederate flag avatar and a username that presumably JB took offence to, yet he asked an innocent question.

JB proceeds to get stuck into him, calls him a bigot and tells him to hang himself...WTF?

Mods- why do you let this go?

Am I missing something here? As far as I am aware JB said:

Which seems a fair comment, where did he say he should hang himself in this post etc etc?
