Thank you kun jon for sharing this special moment with us. It makes me feel proud  to feel that there are real people out there, with good heart, not cynical,not abusive,not selfish who love and care for boy specials

Please dont change. I am sure you will find someone who deserves you.

Aunty, one of my favourite songs and singer/songwriters too.

If there's any justice in the order of things (and I recognise there may not be) this creature will one day be Edward-II-ed.

God, I hope I never have to write a posting like this one.

What really brings it home is that my own boyf had a bad car accident this last week.  I posted a picture of his step-father in the hospital, and HE took the picture because Mom insisted that he rush up to visit his poor step-dad in the hospital.  He had to cut school to obey her, and the next day drove Mom and Pop home, and then hurried back to Chiang Mai -- very tired.  (He didn't like missing school.)

As he got nearer to home in Chiang Mai, he went a little too fast on a detour, tried to pass a slow vehicle, suddenly saw another vehicle coming at him, and swerved out of the way.  There were big rocks on the detour, and the car rolled.

And the Angel of Death passed him by.  He came out completely unscathed -- but almost in a state of shock.

God, I hope I never have to write a posting like this one.  God, I hope I never have to write a posting like this one.

Bye bye, Nueng.  Very very sorry to see you go!  jing jing na khap!

Kun Jon,
I had to read your post carefully a few times but I'm still a bit confused.  Is this your HIV+ boyfriend you've been writing about?  I get the impression its not.
Only 35 years old - so sad.

Very sad story I posted the story for several of my friends who were equally sad about it. Such a young man and since visiting Thailand for many years I have known so many similar stories. Thank you for posting it all the same and my deepest sympathy for the loss of such a nice young man.

Neung's medical history is not mine to share but he was NOT HIV+ and as I wrote in my first post he was never my boyfriend. Both Neung and my boyfriend were happy with the phrase I was careful to use when I described him as my "Special Friend".

Diao maa is on your IGNORE list.

As he suffered his own tragedy a little over 12 months ago with his boyfriend being shot dead by some thugs outside The Birdcage ( before it's birth) he would never be so crude as to write such a thing.

Your statement above Lunchtime, is something I am able to agree with you on for the first time in quite a while. No matter what is said, has been said, and no doubt will be said in the future about LMTU, making  such a crass remark such as the one he was believed to have made, one made instead by someone who I am not sure anyone knows for sure, who he is, or may have been previously here, is a remark I believe that LMTU would never be guilty of making.


My apologies Khun Jon, for my post deviating somewhat away from Neung. No disrespect meant in any way on my part, for having done so.



George.

agreed George..we don't want to divert from Khun Jon's sadness .

Thanks for posting another picture of Neung..you can tell he was a lovely soul.

Anyway he's up there..in that lovely tree in heaven which that TV monk says is better than any paradise we can conceive of on earth !

Perhaps he can give Krazy Pub Peter a quick hello from us !

This topic appears to have been edited, as one particular post has been deleted as well as at least my own quoting it and commenting in a similar vein to others which still remain and consequently no longer make any sense. The point has been made before, but if threads are to make any sense after posts have been deleted then a note to that effect needs to be made - surely putting "deleted post" cannot be that difficult?

Or " ... post deleted because ... ".  I don't get the secrecy in moderator actions like this.  What's to hide?

Delete a post, for a good reason, and then explain why in a few short  words.  I just don't understand why the mods can't offer the Board such a simple courtesy.  The moderating credibility would rise by leaps and bounds if a procedure like that is followed.

Cheers ...

There was an explanation that this thread had been edited and Rikshaw's posts deleted. It was originally added to a post I made saying that Rikshaw's comments and the quotes from it meant that I would longer be veiwing it or posting.

Following Rikshaw's deletion I removed my post and the notification therefore also disappeared.

Start a new thread if you want to go on about it but please leave this thread alone, that's the simple courtesy I would ask.
