Have a search on the forum for McCall’s name and see past posts.max_ratcliffe wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 11:16 am While the rolling eyes emoji isn't helpful, I think that I agree with Pe A.
What did McCall actually do here? A clumsy pass by an older man on another man. McCall could very reasonably claim that yes, he made a pass but stopped as soon as he realised that his attentions were not well received.
Doesn't mean that it was any less unpleasant for Pete (and, no doubt, desperately embarrassing for both parties), but there's no child abuse here. As part of an overall pattern of behaviour, it doesn't look great, and certainly the drinks parties look foolish through the lens of this subsequent pass.
But I can't see how you'd ever get someone extradited for this.

Some of the reactions to Pete's post (if taken in isolation) border on the homophobic, but in the context of all the other allegations, I can see why people are saying what they are.

Re: Here's a hypothetical
I can see that reading Pete’s post in isolation looks that way, unfortunately I think the reality is far murkier.max_ratcliffe wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 3:09 pmYeah, fair enough.DazedandConfused wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 2:43 pmHave a search on the forum for McCall’s name and see past posts.max_ratcliffe wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 11:16 am While the rolling eyes emoji isn't helpful, I think that I agree with Pe A.

Re: Here's a hypothetical
Whether the pupil was a minor is indeed a good question. I've always had a mental image of the pupil in my head, and am sure he was on his Grecians at the time. Whether that was the reason for the case not being escalated past the school's disciplinary system, who knows...?max_ratcliffe wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 12:27 pmNot really from the way that Pete described it. Trying it on with an ex-pupil, over 18 and twice his size, is not much of a crime.
This is obviously totally different, especially if the pupil was a minor.marty wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 11:27 amI think you'll find it was a similar "clumsy pass" on a male pupil that facilitated his exit from the school.max_ratcliffe wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 11:16 am What did McCall actually do here?

Re: Here's a hypothetical
There's a "physics professor" McCall mentioned in this blog post: https://www.stickmanbangkok.com/readers ... -part-367/.
Content warning: website is about the joys of "whoremongering" in Bangkok and almost certainly contains "adult material".
