Judging by the reactionary comments at NM, Dan (http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/newmandala/2010/03/05/the-economist-on-red-shirt-politics), your new stance appears to be a fashionable one, rather than one that shows any conviction or caring for the poor and uneducated of rural Thailand. Today's government decision to impose ISA would have incensed you this time last year. All your blogs recently reflect the BKK business community and typical middle class stance. What happened to you? Safety in numbers? A turncoart a la Newin Chidchob? I hope you're getting paid. At a time when the corrupt government is succeeding in fragmenting the grass roots movement you once so vehemently supported, is the time that their cause needs championing more than ever. Just because they are fragmented and confused is not the time to abandon them for fear of being seen as a red supporter. As a media outlet with a following you are supposed to be reiterating what their most honourable cause is, helping them redefine, not abandoning them. Commenting on the Oscars but ignoring that the ISA is announced in your home town suggests you will just blend perfectly well with the rest of the mediocre MSM blogosphere. And no, please don't bring Thaksin into the equasion. Let's not rock the boat. We know which side our toast is buttered on. <em>(BD: Well there goes my reader, too sad. ISA? Let's wait and see. And you know what? The NYT link was in the News Feed before you sent this comment. And true, today the Dude is more important. You force me to suggest to please have your own blog. You'll find out that there's another life beside. Again, I'm no red, no yellow, no blue, no whatever. Possibly white and just observing.)</em> Outstanding or simply not wanting to stand out?
