<p>It is true that the majority of Thai people love the monarchy. But there may be some sectors that do not love the monarchy. This is understandable and not out of the ordinary. We should be able to accept the divergent feelings of people in society.</p>

<p>Today I was tremendously affected by things that I saw, so much so that I was at a loss for words. First, in the morning, I saw the Facebook status of a former student of mine. My former student harshly condemned Professor Piyabutr Saengkanokkul and linked to a photo of him from Thai Post newspaper. When I scrolled down, the comments included only further condemnation, including calls to actually harm Professor Piyabutr.</p>
