As a regular contributor to New Mandala, I'm embarrassed to see a person with the same name writing a very silly post here, where a number of NM habitues also post. This person identifies his preoccupations in Thailand by his crude sexual references as well as his attack on a man who has lived here for many years, & who is consistently contributing to the Thai society with his local newspaper in Esan, on the basis of his age. Big 'M' Michael is obviously a tight-arsed, uneducated airhead & probably a sexpat, since he is incapable of concealing his sexual immaturity & fear of older ( &, in the case of Frank, wiser) people. If the best criticism of Kh. Kornsilp you can come up with is on the basis of her age, then I fear you are possibly a victim of early-onset Alzheimers, possibly brought on by excessive alcohol intake.

Re. the writings of Kh Kornsilp, and her allegations, I'd like to know what she's going to produce as evidence for her assertion that there is a covert "underground movement to destabilize Thailand's economy and internal security," of which the FCCT is apparently a major part, & the alleged LM is the modus operandi. In a proper court she would be required to show evidence of the existence of an organisation dedicated to those aims & activities.

Could it be that, having published these allegations widely she may now be in the firing line for a whole series of actions for criminal libel?

Does anyone know which of Thailand's universities is supervising her doctoral research? I most sincerely hope her dissertation is in (her) English & contains examples of her flawless logic & wonderfully expressive language, as evidenced in the Press Release & article above.
