Just received the following from Jakchat.com. Unspun braved there and decided that he would need a stronger constitution to enter the free-for-all sessions.Unspund wonders what the venerable Achmad of Achmad tells it like it is would make of this, er, vibrant chatroom?
JakChat.com is a message board and chatroom specially for Indonesia’s dynamic community of English speakers, both foreign and local.
You may already have seen us. JakChat started in October of 2005, and we have now developed into a strong, vibrant and friendly virtual community.
As someone with an interest in Indonesia, we would like to invite you to join with us and become part of the on-going discussions and activities of JakChat.

Dear Unspun,
Achmad, in is vigilant quest to tell the truth, will comment on the Jakchat room, a place he is sure to make many friends. In the meantime, Achmad is engaged in a work of monumental importance, (about his…’Thing’), and will return to the burning issue of JakChat shortly.
There is little doubt the stoush will be a bloody one. Bring it on. As someone obscure said in the introduction to Adam Schwarz’s ‘Nation in Waiting,’ ‘civil society is not a place of peace.’
Speaking of peace, increase it…
Achmad.

After a quick look, friends, it seems about as likely that Indcoup, Jakartass or Oigal of Greenstump fame, will include me in their wills as I’ll last long on JakChat.
The moderators reserve the right to censor material they feel is inappropriate. They also call on people not to be annoying, offensive, to spread hatred or to be racist. Unfortunately, I have a tendency, indeed some would say committed, to all four. Particularly when it comes to caucasian denizens of Jalan Jaksa.
More on this topic in a forthcoming post, friends.

Unspun,
Why on earth would you invite the esteemed Pak Achmad to wade through this bule sewage called “JakChat”?
As a fellow Asian; I would have hoped that you would rise above drawing attention to this kind of grotesque ranting, on mass, from xenophobic bule; celebrating Jalan Jaksa, whose idea of intellectual debate is to argue with each other over who had the last beer on their bar bill at the end of the night.
And as a proud Javanese; I am disgusted that a café called “Java” would sponsor such filth in an advertisement directly opposite some ghastly, double chinned, drugged out looking bule specimen called Bartele.

You said it, Pak Daryono ! But there’s no reason we can’t have some fun with these beer-chugging ground sloths. No one’s completely useless. 🙂 I’d humbly beg to differ though; I think they argue about how much to tip the Ayam from Blok M from the night before. :-0
The problem, as I mentioned, is they’re a little thin, as well as white, skinned. We also need som of Mr. Thang’s ‘yellow’ journalism he he he.
Increase Da Peace

Pak Achmad,
I’m sorry to say that your loyalty is indeed cheap…
Why would you want to make a truce with this appalling bule“ blogger” who has the audacity to not only reside here but half wittedly opines on our proud country’s unique diseases, fascinating fauna, esteemed politicians and fabulous aviation entrepreneurs?
Increase de peace but not with this kind of “expatriate” dross…please.

I’m not sure where this teaser is going. I’m all for cheap smut and ugly humour, but there are borderline decency and basic values that i take as a matter of principle.
Bunch of racist pricks jerkin off in a chatroom ain’t it. Achmad, do me a favor, and stop the stupid Snoop impersonation. It doesn’t suit your puny head.

Treespotter,
Thank you for your contribution to this discussion, even if it is in the form of a malicious assault on your Indonesian brother; the esteemed Pak Achmad.
I must say that I was rather disappointed by your vitriol against our good friend. Was it not your good self who pointed out, on a number of occasions, how miserable and whiney these pathetic “expatriates” are on their wretched blogs?
Perhaps you now think it more important or interesting to publicize your silly doodles and write about domestic servants on your blog.
“there are borderline decency and basic values that i take as a matter of principle.”
This is why we condemn these vile foreigners who abuse our country and live these unrestrained lives of drunkenness and rampant fornication.
“• Bunch of racist pricks jerkin off in a chatroom ain’t it. Achmad, do me a favor, and stop the stupid Snoop impersonation. It doesn’t suit your puny head.”
What is racist about about standing up for decency and the basic values that you yourself claim to take as of principle? Or perhaps you are just jealous that there are other well educated and articulate Indonesians out there who don’t share your passion for all things Western?

I think this discussion as gone far enough and is not going anywahere, at least on this blog.
I’m sure that Achmad and Daryono will be happy to take up the thread in Achmad’s blog.
I’m locking the posting from further comments.
