Donald Whitting Honors

Post by KhunChalong »

I think that HHAD should, under the circumstances, place a statement Honoring Donald Whiting, who is paralized from the waist down, because he waged a war for all in Hua Hin....

Which circumstances would those be then?

No problem with the honours though, you can use this thread for such a purpose and we will move it to a more prominent section of the board. We will also let it run providing it remains within the terms and conditions of this forum and does not drag up the old arguments and accusations from a crime that occurred in 2008.

HHAD has been and is totally neutral regarding all matters concerning this tragic incident.

Thbe circumstances are the issues etc. Donald is a fine gent, good American and aq victim. HHAD, neutral... somebody gave HHAD good advice... Was it an offit across from the Post Office and up from a realestate offit of note? Just wondering... Sorry if this is a HBOT topic, you can drop it incase you hear from Greeks in Sneakers

The topic is fine, however you should come to our office or contact us in person if you have any problems with HHAD or the way it is conducted and managed. We have had our fill of anonymous arm chair internet judges.

Sorry KhonChalong, but what the fcuk was that all about? :?

If you're going to try to pull off posting in English, which is not your native language obviously, then a certain amount of error checking would be a good idea. Otherwise it all appears as bollox.

Admin has shown some latitude, which sometimes it doesn't, towards this one.

However............

Sorry Spit and Lev, but KhonChalong is right. I was very close to Don and the circumstances and there were some payoffs to and from people that he mentioned to make this go away or take an extended time to play out in court. This is one of the worst travesties of justice I've ever witnessed anywhere and that's saying a lot in LOS. People with money can get away with anything it seems while others of us who are just living are subject to the whims of those people. That's why I stay home most of the time where I feel safe!

Sorry to hear about this, but I am not quite sure what happened.

Where can I read up on what happened? Thanks!

We are not disputing that and agree with your sentiments, which is why we are leaving the thread open. We are questioning what problem this supposedly Phuket based new member (that we have probably banned several times under different guises) has with HHAD, a Hua Hin forum, for him to make such, albeit cryptic, accusations and drag up a two year old issue again. We are sick of anonymous rock throwers so requested personal contact, which was refused, this was also in part why the original thread, which can be found here, had to be brought under control.

Yeah, don't think I actually disagreed with anything he said (maybe didn't fully understand what he said). I perhaps questioned something not content related and then highlighted something else with a swift vague reference to the irony of it being his first post and drags up this.....well.....controversial subject straight away. This was presented/portrayed in the guise of agreement with another person that posted regarding one sentence and the connotations/nuances that perhaps could be inferred from it.

^ Yeah, there were some connotations/nuances that maybe only a few who were close to the matter understood.

Anyway, for anyone who is interested, I spoke with Dolly a few days ago and there is no change in Don's condition. He is still paralyzed and needs 24 hour nursing care. My thoughts are with you Don if you're reading this and a lot of your friends are still hoping for a miracle.

Ditto all of the above. I also am hoping for a miracle to help a fine man who payed the price for fighting a battle to right the wrongs applied to so many. I think that people should not glean the mischaracter dipections of the repressents body that plagues the whole issue. I see that some headed a call... albet an order to hush up or get some of the same..

All I say is that Hua Hin should memorialoize Mac and honor him with a great rally of support. A social network worthy of a noble need to be in place and show the man of great courage some respect and love. He paid a high price to further the well being of people in Hua Hin.....

Someplace in the lil berg should be a fountain with a bustg of K. Mac facing out from a prminante corner to remind all of the issues that still plague HH and the link to the web site!

Now, as to the posters about grammer... does that measure up to a fire bomb, bullett and a rip off on another property. How dare you display you lack of humanity!

And to the one who postulated about this being a previeously banned etc. normal way to discredit.
HH is well know among those whom live well on this island as a place to not go. Many Many, I not included, didn't execute business deals for property because they, or their lawyers, saw the bricks flying etc.

As to the invite to come in to the office. My answer is: Don;t you like your own forum... How much would you be paqid to set up a whistle blower. I have discussed with a number of my friends in Phuket as to bring in some BKK Heat to get the monument set up. Anuyone against a monument for K. Mac?????? Get off the plane at HKT with a pink hat for a meeting at our offit!

Long Live honesty!

WTF? :shock: :? :shock:

Stick to the Phuket forums blue.... you obviously have a problem with Hua Hin and HHAD....... and English :duck:

I don't doubt Donald Whitting is a decent guy and has suffered horrendously for his (and others) cause...... but quite frankly Khunchalong - I can't see where your input/comments on this forum are doing him any favours whatsoever.
