Andrew Drummond'S Website


dpb

Recommended Posts

the article he recently posted was about a drug and alcohol rehab centre.

not sure if it was the guy who owns the place or just an employee, but he was caught on camera smoking crystal meth

as soon as the article was up, the rehab centres website changed from offering drug and alcohol treatment to just alcohol. then when ADs website went down, they went back to offering drug and alcohol treatment

think the article said it was $30000 per week for the treatment.

Interesting....something to think about.

Andrew Drummond does not have a great reputation in Thailand as anything other than a stringer. He went through a court process some years ago regarding defamation but not sure what the outcome was. So understandably he may well have trodden on someone's toes and now the Thai Police have stepped in as this could be a case of repeat offender and they will be none too kind this time around.

Never miss a chance to broadcast a tiny mind....

Meanwhile Andrew Drummond's website is available online here in Thailand as I post...

But don't let that put a stop to the conspiracy theories.

Apparently DD from teak door forum shut it down, by having it classed as a hatesite in retaliation for him publishing lies about him.

Anyone know DD, got 20k large for info. :rolleyes:

That is quite funny....this DD character could not blow out a candle in the wind.....all huff and poof he is.

Not when it comes to beating his kids or fighting off ladyboy robbers though.. :whistling: JFYI by his own public admission no speculation on my part..

I have contacted Andrew Drummond, and hope he will reply to this thread if he feel the need to clarify anything. I believe he is a member on Thaivisa.

No big deal i guess, as his site is up and running again.

It would also be interesting to hear from the other Thaivisa member that features prominently in Drummond's expose' article, as well.

Yes. That would be a great idea - if they identified themselves and we can actually talk about the story - because you will not find any innocent victims - otherwise it just gets down to all this pub talk and there are scores of things that I have been accused of that are just up in the air. You'll just get someone like Fred Plonker coming up and saying Drummond did this etc - and i would have to defend a total invention. Thats the nature of forums.

Anyway George has invited me to reply to this thread. Its a guest appearance :-). Yes my site was attacked.(DDOS) It would not have happened if i was more of a techie i guess. It is going back online slowly now. Yes it is on a Thai server. There are very good reasons for this, but they are not set in stone.

I loved some of the reasons posters came up with for why the site was down and they all occurred to me too. But if one is mixing chat with exposure journalism then one has to expect this. Its an underhand complitment in a way. I'll be posting a fuller answer on my own site shortly (which means when the geek says yes)

Well, the member I was referring is a very long-time member with thousands of posts, but he's not a forum sponsor.

I'm not sure why I'm being so coy in not saying his thaivisa nickname as he himself has made posts stating his real name previously. I do hesitate to identify his name and nickname out of deference to the "outing" policies of the forum (although, as said, he has previously "outed" himself already by posting his real name).

Anyway, when one reads his name in the article, a search of that name on the forum will reveal which nickname he uses here.

Thank you for your post, Mr. Drummond, and please keep up the excellent work that you do.

I look forward to your new posts, either here or on your site.

Drummond's style of 'reporting' can be likened to the Daily Mail, it really is quite easy.

For example the Daily Mail, who are renowned for not giving balance to a story, recently published an article saying that Mohammed is the most popular name in the UK as I'm sure many of you will remember. Let's remember of course that they aren't allowed to tell blatant lies.

So what they do is add disclaimers such as "when all the different variations are added up together", of course they forget to add that the same was not done for traditional English names. The result is that the readers who cannot read between the lines are left believing that there are more Mohammed's in the UK which fits perfectly into the agenda of the far right publisher. Nationalism sells and sensationalism helps it along wonderfully.

So the Daily Mail publish an article about something that is in fact true, yet in reality it is just a lie that helps them to sell more papers. The facts that are included are true facts but without the full story, they actually mean very little.

Read between the lines

Hang on a minute, I'm no fan of the Daily Mail but are you saying there is a Traditional English Name that when taken with all it's variations is more popular in the UK than the Islamic Name Mohammed and all its variations?

Save us reading between the lines and put up or shut up.

The Times and The Telegraph carry similar stories.

Are you deliberately missing the point?

I'll put it simply and to the point.

It is twisted and manipulated in order to get a story that sells, regardless of whether or not the message it portrays is the correct one. The tabloid's do it and it is just the same thing that Drummond does.

I should have just said that in the first place.

Good to learn you read both The Daily Mail and Andrew Drummond's site but what I don't understand is WHY you read both publications if you don't like the content? <_<

If I don't like a magazin/blog/newspaper/book...I don't read it.

I don't read them by choice, but there is plenty of discussions about them! One is often compelled to see what the commotion is about.

That's a straw man argument anyway. Did you have a point?

Do you have examples of Mr. Drummond doing that? Did he write the example you described with the Daily Mail? Is he personally responsible for all the articles appearing in the Daily Mail?

If you're going to go after a writer, it seems only fair that you go after articles that he specifically and personally wrote.

Let's take the example of his latest article then:

While the heavily tattooed specialist in

Heavily tattooed. So bloody what.

Gunn boasts a 90 per cent success rate at his clinic. One of his ex-clients not included in that reverential 90 per

What about the one's that were successful. Why pick on the negatives?

With an imaginative website and some ‘therapy’ staff

What is wrong with the website. Is Drummond suggesting that the staff are not qualified, a simple search through classified job adds would suggest otherwise.

But there has apparently been a recent mass exodus of staff leaving with a litany of complaints.

How many equates to a mass exodus exactly?

I could go on. It is sensationalist tat that is written to line the pockets of Mr. Drummond.

Hi Buchholz

Could you link to one of the posts?

I could have just left it right there actually. The man has tattoos.

I suggest we go back on topic and leave the personal feelings about the writing style of Mr. Drummond aside.

You don't have to read it, simple as that...the same as you have a button on your remote control of your television to shut it off.
