Who is Francis Adams, why does he keep sending emails to me, and reading the CC list, also many other Nation bloggers and what seems to be all the Nation staff? What's his beef?

Ian- I shall e-mail you 'The technique'.
This Maud Adams sounds a right wanker. Ja mook as they say in Thai, literally, pulling the kite.
Adams wouldn't know originality if it was a ten tonne weight that dropped on his foot! Yes Maud(Adams) most of my posts are of a sexual nature, very Freudian. Cum into the garden Maud. Very maudling.

Good to know you too have joined the scamsters...excalibur...errr..or should it be...sexcalibur (depends upon the sexual-related blogs you have posted on the newspaper's web site)!!!

For your information, Tulsathit has written a column on such scamsters. You'll find thousands more of such columns, either wailing and mourning, making fun or alerting people of the scam mails in the inbox.

I am deleting your trash. Send something original, quirky, funny and yet meaningful.

chill out, peace out

Notice the reference to pedophiles, some security agencies use this as a form of entrapment. For people they think are a problem. Try to get pedo-porn on the target's computer. Then send the FBI around to bust them.

I would suggest it is an attempt at libel as a form of blackmail.
The guy is looking for redress for a perceived wrong by the Nation.

Catch, if the webeditor is doing his job he should be reading this blog.

These emails are doing me no harm, so I am curious rather than bothered.
I get the impression that he is an Australian who got kicked out of Thailand, perhaps because of suspicion of paedophilia.
But i might be wrong.

I am surprised thar the wbeditor has not commented, perhaps he is already on their "ignore" list and so they are unaware

There seem to be some interesting skeletons in the Nation cupboards.

Ok, here are his last two emails in reverse order.

Hey Jim,

I am hoping that, by now, you must have realized people from which countries are more susceptible to being paedophiles and taking weeds or going on medication.

I have not and don't hold any grudge against you for what fellow Aussies or Americans have earned their dubious identities for in South East countries because you are not directly involved in it, right?

Similarly, you guys should have been careful and continue to be before using blatant jibes that you guys used on me during and after my time at The Nation. Sadly, no one stepped in leaving me isolated to suffer the hazing.

Hoping you guys flush out ego, arrogance and one-manship from your system. Because, unlike me most things, most importantly recognition from immigration authorities in such countries, comes to you guys on a platter (Native English speakers, you see).

I have yet to forget the mental agony i was forced to go through at The Nation after having worked there for more than two years and i have yet to get my dues from them.

Hoping i get to see you sometime soon.

Care to reply?

Best wishes
Francis Adams

Hey Jim Pollard,

I am sure you are still working at The Nation.

And I am sure the "good guys" like the ones written about in the urls
and their content, below, are still there lurking around favorite
places in Thailand.

There was one, if you remember, who wrote a front page exclusive for
The Nation on why he did it. Anyway, they have loads of them if you
check the newspapers in these places and of course, Down Under. Each
time one goes to www.theage.com.au to read the other-than-Indian
version of cricket and its controversies, you get to read the flashy
news about these disgusting guys...

Any plan to do an exclusive (Breaking news) on the matter?

BTW, is as whole George Cherry Anne still working there?

Best wishes

Korea bans entry of 21 American pedophiles

2008.05.08

Korea Thursday banned the entry of over 20 Americans convicted of sex
crimes against minors as part of global efforts to crack down on
pedophiles, the Ministry of Justice was quoted as saying by Yonhap
News Agency.

The unprecedented entry ban on foreign pedophiles came after the
ministry received profiles of the 21 Americans from the Immigration
and Customs Enforcement arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, it said.

"The information from the United States referred to those who have
been convicted of assaulting or having sex with minors under 14 in the
U.S. and have since traveled to Asia, particularly Hong Kong, Taiwan,
Japan, the Philippines and Korea," said Park Young-joon, a prosecutor
in charge of immigration regulations at the ministry.

Under its immigration law, the Korean government can ban the entry of
foreigners when they are deemed to be prone to violating social order
and disrupting customs in the country.

The move comes as the Korean government has been relaxing visa rules
for foreign English teachers to meet the growing demand for native
English speakers. But the loosening of rules has prompted concerns
that some foreign teachers may be unqualified or involved in illegal
activities.

Ian,

I checked my mail everyday and that's the only e-mail address I got. The G-mail I don"t hardly check after I changed back. I did get one from this guy today or just now but not attentioning to me but to some guy called Jim. I think he's some guy working in the Nation before and got sacked. He did mention he's been working at The Nation for 2 years...Strange guy..
