Almost all of these posts are exactly what I was hoping to generate here on Fodors - an awareness of how we are in fact the demand for these atrocities - through our tourist dollars.

So many very good points made. I hope many Fodorites are reading this thread! And of course doing some deep introspection. I know I am.

And I agree with khunwilko about being curious about rhkmkk's post about no apologies. I don't think anyone owes anyone an apology - except maybe the monks and thugs of the Temple....

I felt that an apology was owed to posters such as Bushchick who attempted to raise the alarm way back in 2008.

Yes you are correct. I recall that and even chimed in on that thread (or one during a similar time period) and was absolutely slammed by Fodorites. It was very disillusioning to see how many people were so vitriolic in their support for such an abusive place....
