You have fumed at our opinion writers and screamed from the top of your lungs to make your stands known regarding Thaksin Shinawatra and the generals who ousted him. So we have dared you to write joint essays, the way wikipedia entries are developed, to support your courses. "Thaksin, we miss you like crazy" is the topic for his supporters and opponents of the coup who believe he's a "lesser devil". "Thaksin, you are bad news and even the coup can't change that" is for the other camp.

The idea is to encourage both camps of opposing ideologies to compete in a fair and fun environment and not interfere with each other side. Pro-Thaksin (or anti-coup) readers should stick to the first topic, where they can edit, rewrite and change contents as they deem fit so their joint efforts can expand in a constructive way. Vice versa for the anti-Thaksin camp.

What has happened was some posts have been completely deleted and we could not retrieve it. Charges of "sabotage" abound but we have not investigated what exactly happened.

All we can do now is urge your cooperation again to make this experiment, which we sincerely hope will serve the noble worthiness of the internet, work. We also advise posters to make a copy of your latest contribution to either forum, just in case the contents disappear or are drastically and suspiciously altered.

The participation requires a simple registration. Here our simple rules again_ Try your best to defend your case and please don't interfere with the other side. Work as a team, be a sport and enjoy. We hope to publish both essays, so keep them reasonable and clean

Go for it.
