The Trolls And Keyboard Warriors Come Out To Play
Was reading this, and it sums up a lot of what I see on both forums and Cambodia related FB groups quite often...
Continue reading more here... http://www.stickboybangkok.com/opinion/ ... come-play/Trolls, nutters, weirdos, know-it-alls, know-fuck-alls… Thai-centric online life is like the wild west of the interwebs. And it’s not restricted to any one medium. From social network sites like Facebook and Twitter to online communities such as Reddit and the infamous Thai forums – somewhere I NEVER venture – the majority of people sharing their thoughts are from a world I don’t understand.
I’ve worked online for a long time and I know what I’ve described above is common all over the webs, it just seems more highlighted in Thailand as the expat population isn’t that big and too many people have little else to do with their time other than troll, throw grenades around causing trouble and trash talk others.
It’s one thing to have a bit of banter and poke fun but all too often the toys get thrown out the pram and what started as a joke and a laugh goes tits up when someone has either had enough, can’t take a joke or reads too much into something said and twists it to be deliberately offended.
And boy how some expats just love to be offended and often go out their way to be offended, even if it’s on behalf of someone else or some “worthy” cause.
It is just too much negativity for me and that sort of talk just ends up dragging you down and ruining your day. It’s best avoided at all costs otherwise I’d just turn into a Prophet Of Doom like the troll. I’ll pass on that, thanks very much.

There was one before - notstickman.com. Some guy who manufactured motorcycle parts in Issan (or somewhere) got pissed at Stick and posted a review-rebuttal of Stick's column weekly for years. He had to be pretty PO-ed. It was well done & had to have cost him a lot of cake.frank lee bent wrote:he may be an anti stick

That dude was a complete nutter. Apparently he hated Stickman because Stickman once turned down a coffee date with him or something.wackyjacky wrote:There was one before - notstickman.com.

Yeah he was an American nutter from Nong Khai who had a small factory up on the border. He started targeting the Thai teachers and Stickman's school so he was tracked down and allegedly told to fuck off or face the consequences. I remember seeing that site around 2006.
Stickboy is just keeping up the SE Asian tradition of robbing someone elses name/idea because you are too lazy to think of your own. Yes Boom Boom music I am looking at you.
