Probably the latter if you insist on giving him a label. My point was that he wasn't a Troll or similar and that we need to stop looking for trouble makers every time someone we don't know, submits a post. There may be someone out there who we scared off but could have provided some worthwhile input to this site if he'd stuck around. Our
collective paranoia looks hysterical to outsiders, which is why MC gets his rocks off through winding us up.
I see your point about people not being qualified to give advice to him about relationships and sometimes that advice others give can be very direct. But then this site was created to pass on advice to Farangs living in UTH and due to the nature of some Farang/Thai relationships, it's inevitable that some will resort to asking other Farangs about how they manage these relationships. Personally, I wouldn't air my dirty washing on this site if I was ever to have issues in my marriage and I do wonder about some people's judgement when they do (remember Buffalo Soldier?).
