An outrage that Bangkokians suffer!

Had you taken J Dall’s advice and used the bull***t stamp he recommended you use, you would not have printed his letter. It is spiteful vitriol and nothing more. Mr Dall’s letter is also a call for censorship. He is incensed by Pavin Chachavalpongpun’s unique notion that the properties and life-flow of Bangkokians are not more special than those of non-Bangkokian Thais. (Where did Khun Pavin get such an odd notion that all Thais ought to be considered equally Thai!) Is my conclusion correct that Mr Dall is incensed by Pavin’s peculiar notion because Mr Dall lives in Bangkok and considers that everyone else, therefore, is obligated to take it on the chin to make whatever sacrifices are necessary so that [Bangkokians] can continue undisturbed amid devastation?
