Boo Radley Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 ...I didn't know (nor care) that Galt was still tilting at windmills... Yeah, that kind of sums it up imo..tilting at windmills. He seems to have expended a lot of energy and time over the whole thing. Weird behaviour...

kamui Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Can someone refresh my memory on who or what The Galt is? He decided not to kiss sexpat arse. He is a self-righteous, narcissistic psychopath who tried in a personal crusade to destroy the career of expats like Stickman by exposing their real names and other personal data on the net.

ALHOLK Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 He did that after his own name and some personal data had been exposed on another board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 What did he actually do to get sued? That was never clear to me. He was sued for libel (a criminal offense) by a Pattaya property developer for an article on his personal experience in attempting to buy some property or condo. In the article he made some very strong personal statements on the honesty and integrity of the developer. This was one of several attempts by Stickman Inc and others to shut him up and the only one that has gone this far simply because a libel charge in Thailand can go on forever (as long as you have the money) and facts are meaningless. This site would be an easy target for someone that wanted to hurt KS. As owner of the site, under Thai law, he is responsible for the entire contents, even though the servers are not in Thailand and even if he did not actually write the offending post he could be sued for libel and even end up in jail for what we say on this board, including personal insults and childish name calling about the Gault.

cavanami Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Tough sentence. What will happen to his business, if he serves out six years in jail? Will he get deported? Sometimes it can be a house and cards and all fall down. leaving you in a world of hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 He did that after his own name and some personal data had been exposed on another board. As I recall, it was Mango Sauce that posted his name and info. In retaliation, "the Galt" went after Stickman (not Mango Sauce). He not only posted Stick's real name and photo, but also posted the name of his school and photos of his Thai colleagues. He also tried to get information on WYD, simply because WYD was Stick's friend. His goal was to get them fired - and arrested, if possible. After that, he found someone else to fight with. Looks like he lost. Really a nice guy, salt of the earth ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 so...as I understand it...he completely freaked out after being outed on mangosauce? Wonder how he will react after getting sentenced to six years? This gets more interesting by the second.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 To be fair about this, Dave posted information provided by Stick and his friends which is why Gualt posted details on Stick. Stick’s real name and occupation was not exactly a secret and he was extremely reckless for holding that job and also running the site at the same time. The ensuing comments on MangoSause, led by WYD and others, included several death threats against Gault. They tried to get him deported, using their relationships to “highly placed immigration authoritiesâ€Â. They posted a thread about Gault coming to Thailand on an organized “Sex tourism†group. They also accused him of being a pedophile and posted information on an alleged arrest that later proved to be untrue. Prior to it getting nasty, all Gualt did was point out how Stick was taking money for mentioning certain establishments and not disclosing what he was doing. I never understood why some people took it all so personal, it was like someone had attacked their god or something. Boy, those were the days, weren’t they?
