The gay Thailand forum Baht Stop is under new ownership. I can only hope they got it as part of a dowry. More likely, they so totally screwed up their karma in a previous life that they now have to suffer the fools who routinely post on this worthless board.
BS, as apt of a set of initials as there ever were, always has been an even mix of lunatics and political fanatics, not unlike what passes for news programming on FOX in America. How the Thai government (who evidently has spies hiding under your bed according to BS) ever allowed this board to stay afloat is beyond me. There are regular posts that one-sidedly slam the powers that be. Of course, the poor Red Shirts get the kid glove treatment. It’s fine with me for you to take either side of the debate on that issue as long as you recognize there are two sides. But then maybe the Thai government has reviewed the site and realized it’s nothing but a small handful of crazies collectively in need of an adjustment to their medicines.
It’s not just Thai politics that get the BS treatment either. All SE Asian countries are game. And while you’re at it go ahead and throw in The U.S. and Australia, too. Maybe I wouldn’t have that big of a problem with Baht Stop’s existence if they stuck to Thai issues over there, but really, how does a photo of John Travolta not wearing his hairpiece fit in?
The political goes to even weirder levels when a poster starts a rant about how the ‘goy’ owned press in America failed to mention that there were Jewish people killed in the recent earthquake in New Zealand. Mmmmm, a dead body is a dead body. Since when did the press in any country covering a major tragedy start listing the religious affiliation of those killed? Silly me! That’s using common sense – which has absolutely no place in a political rant.
One of the new rules at Baht Stop limits posters to seven entries a day. Which has several of the regulars fuming. I was about to comment on the quality of life one must have to be posting that many times daily on any board, but then realized once again that quality and the average BS poster are not subject matters that should ever be thought of at the same time. In any case, after clicking on one of the subject topics over there, which I seldom do, I noticed the infamous Beachlover has joined the gang at BS. That posting limit suddenly makes sense.
I was originally going to say it’s time for this forum to stop. But think instead it’d be a great place to shuffle off the crazies as the make an appearance on the other gay Thailand boards instead. Oh, wait. That’s what it already is!
You can always get a sense of the spirit of a forum board by taking a quick look at the first page list of subject topics. Here’s what you’ll find in addition to the political rants over at BS today:
Penalties for conspiring to have sex with dogs in America are harsh
Have you had sexual congress with a non-human animal?
‘Nuff said.

The topics used sometimes to be of interest, although the readable ones are already pretty well covered on other Boards (the virulent pro and anti semitic threads being one exception). What sets new lows on BS are the vitriol, the pathetic jibes and frequently offensive personal insults lavishly showered at themselves and other Boards. Just a bunch of spoiled, loud-mouthed kindergarden brats.

Yes its a great Idea all the Crazy Guys have now found a new home at BS.
what use to be The most Popular Gay Web Site sawatdee forum now it’s like a ghost ship without a captain as the owner is so disinterested and let’s just about anyone say anything no matter how bad they hurt other peoples feeling so it hardly moves now.

Oh dear how silly of me I left out the first line
“Now beachlover has made this his new Bolt hole with the aid of his Groupie Sanook/Combat”

The writer obviously has some axe to grind and he is using that axe to attack the Baht Stop. It is not a bad place and actually the only place to find good political discussions concerning Thailand. Whatever his reason for this rant, he is way off base in his baseless and untrue comments. It did give that PROFESSIONAL-GAYBUTTON-SUCK-ASS, Letmetellyou, a place to spread his trash.
dropdeadguys said:
Awwww, and you were doing so good until the end there when you lost it and started foaming at the mouth.
Let me guess: one of the inbred regular posters at BS?
But thanks for validating my point so well.
Now, wipe the spittle off your chin and try again . . .
Serenity Now! Serenity Now!

The infamous flooder Beachlover seems to have given up boring other BS members. Noted his last post there was around 29 March. He came in for a lot of flack from other posters who hated the fact he actually praised this blog on SGT. Have they given up on him in the same way gaybutton and gaythailand did? Is this why BS has gone real quiet?
dropdeadguys said:
Beachy is baaaaaack!
You should be careful of what you wish for!
And typical of the lunatics in the hall over at BS, making sure only one side of the story is told, the poster who pasted his SGT comment ignored his immediate follow up offering a negative view of this blog. No reason to let facts ruin one’s fantasy.
Um, did I just defend Beachlover???????????????
Nick said:
I assure you I don’t wish for him to disappear. I enjoy his ramblings farrrr too much. The more he says, the more he contradicts hislef. Then he has to backtrack and slams his detractors with foul language. Obviously nothing like the rich 25 year old Ozzie wunderkid he claims to be. So paranoid about maintaining this myth he even blacks out little things in pics. Odd that he has joined in the foodfest about the author of this blog when the last thing he wants is a foodfest about his own real identity!

In a couple of postings yesterday, the true side of BL’s character was again revealed. His foul mouthed rantings and ravings liberally sprinkled with uncalled for swearing betray his true character. This is so far from the assured young businesman he wants the world to believe he is. In fact it is positively Jekyll and Hyde. There’s even now a poll suggesting he be banned. If that happens, where will he turn to for his vitriolic lashings against gbt and other Boards he’s been banned from?
dropdeadguys said:
Banned from Baht Stop?
Now that’s an accomplishment!
Nick said:
Ha! It’s totally extraordinary anyone actually believes BL. When you read across the forums, it’s perfectly clear he’s a fake. Mid-20s successful businessman in Sydney who gets up weekdays at 5:30 (that’s what he said)? So how come the majority of all his posts are well after midnight Ozzie time? Mind you, he sure does get some people really worked up.
