This is from the Asia Bugle Newsletter:
Stickman stalked
One of the talking points of the week has been the removal of the stickmanbangkok.com site from the net. The reason for its demise is that what many of us first thought was a bit of fun has actually turned very nasty.
The notstickman site started as though it was a mickey take on Stickman and I think most of us were mildly amused. I even posted a link to the site here a few weeks ago. However, I did not realise, nor I fear did many people, that this guy is in reality a stalker. And sadly, as with most stalkers, he has eventually become dangerous.
He started posting personal information about Stickman and ended up publishing pictures of his co-workers and trying to identify the school were Stickman works. Suddenly we realised this was not a piss take, but somebody trying to harm Stickman.
The web boards were full of supporters of both sides, although the consensus was that notstickman, also called John Galt, was out of order. And I agree.
Stickman is not always right; in fact he is sometimes very wrong and a number of bar owners have taken grave exception to the misinformation he has posted. I don't believe the inaccuracies were anything other than a slip-up, and to be fair, I doubt they ever did anybody any real damage. It goes back to the old adage that there is only one thing worse than bad publicity, and that's no publicity.
Most websites try hard to get their facts right, but I'm sure that even I get it wrong, sometimes. The problem for Stickman is that he has a serious day job as a teacher, and anybody who thinks you can live off a site such as Stickman or Baronbonk, is in cloud cuckoo land. Maybe Galt is! And that has led to massive speculation over John Galt's true identity.
Maybe here I should say a little about pen names, pseudonyms, nom de plume and the like.
There are many legitimate reasons for using a pen name. Indeed, some of the most famous authors in history wrote under an assumed name – Mark Twain, C S Forester and Voltaire are three that spring to mind. It is an old tradition, as is the practice of not exposing the identities of those behind the names. The truth is that many people know who Stickman is, just as many others know the barons of Baronbonk. John Galt seems to be anxious to hide his identity, while abusing the right of Stickman to do the same.
Very early on it was discovered that Galt's real name is Keith Summers and that he has a Thai business selling LED lighting electronics and controls, and runs a website named asiansignals.com. It was then found out that he is also makes a living, like many other farangs here, as an Ebay trader.
A recent email to me reveals more. Keith Summers first came to Thailand in 2001 on a mantour.com package. This is essentially a company that promotes sex tours to Thailand and it seems Keith liked what he found. There are several pictures of him on the website including the obscured one here. He looks harmless enough so I am not sure what his gripe is.
I understand Stickman's site may soon be back up. Summers has clearly broken several Thai laws and could be dealt with legally. I expect that will happen if he does not get back in his box. Reading Keith's latest ravings, he seems to be most upset by the fact that Stickman won't even acknowledge him. He is truly a stalker; a lonely, sad individual who requires recognition: so be nice to him, he needs your help.
I have no intention of getting into a fight with Galt, Summers, or whatever he wishes to be called, and thus I shall not, for the time being, publish the rest of the personal information I have about him, or for that matter the unobscured picture. I hope the matter ends here!

Why do we come to a place to enjoy and relax and people start fighting what places have the most girls.
Well the new thai law for internet says you can not upload porno pictures and other stuff. I do not think stickman is protected by this. But sure he could ask the police for harrasment. Also google and pay pal does not want "suck" websites and can kick him out quick. I have not seen any of these website for weeks and I not intrested since stickman started to write wrong stuff most times.

Not that I don't believe this, as this is close to what The Land of The Free has done as well, recently, but do you have any supporting evidence - URLs, articles, etc...?
I thought it was always a no-no to trade in nekkid pictures in Thailand..??

Even if so, where does Stickman post naked pictures, or porno?

Don't they usually provide that, often without the need to ask them?

Its always good to know that I can trust you to comment some stupid stuff on my posts thanks.
Yes there is a new law that’s coming now if you hack harm a website or upload or forward a xxx picture you can get 3 years or 10 000 THB in fine.
So if you send me a naked picture of you, to me you can get fined you can search or maybe read a magazine and you find it was just 2 days ago.
There has been now LAW for naked stuff but there been a policy. If you post a naked picture of your ex girlfriend it becomes harassment that’s all.
Yes Paypal and Google does not like “SUCK” website or hatred websites. You can say that his website is a hatred website I do not know why he hates him but it looks that way.

Well, from my experience of working with Thais they constantly forward emails of naked girls (mostly Japanese). I don't think that will stop.
There are also a zillion Thai websites of amateur porn, which get closed and reopened all the time. Actually they post these pics even on their "respectable' sites too. I see them because I have to check the sites at work.
So we'll see what the new law does. This new gov't seems to be making a lot of new laws. Wonder if they'll be able to actually enforce any of them, or if they just like making them in order to look like they're doing something.
Theoretically, Daffy Duck, I guess you for instance could get fined for having uploaded your avatar??
