		<description>I think Khun Dan&#039;s shown editing is a transparent way to go about moderating comments.  I think similar suggestion was made at New Mandala, but the webmasters there seem to think that the secretive ways of trashing comments is preferable.</description>

		<description>My short &amp; sweet point scoring no longer makes the cut over at New Mandala - no foul language from me, and academics should be used to dissent, so it must just boil down to me being too unimaginative.</description>

		<description>(...) &lt;del datetime=&quot;2008-09-19T01:10:22+00:00&quot;&gt;BKK-Dan is Banharn-wise slimy like a snake&lt;/del&gt; (...)

EDITED

&lt;em&gt;(BangkokDan: For foul language please use the PAD stage. Nothing against personal insults if they are substantiated. As a rule of thumb for further commenting be referred to New Mandala&#039;s policy: &quot;New Mandala encourages vigorous debate (...) There will, of course, be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>Getting off the sofa here to humor Andy: Maybe it&#039;s the same &quot;dork&quot; Andy I used to know who loved to literally wind people up on the Bangkok streets ... although this comment belongs to the PAD forum, where we are compiling some real questions for reasonable people to ask the &quot;Women and children who know about the real economy of Thailand @ the Government House Squat.&quot;

In the meantime you can get primed for a journalistic session with &quot;PAD&quot; at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2008/09/19/opinion/opinion_30083852.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Nation&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
