No, you don’t get it, besides which “alibi” is used incorrectly.
A board member posts points of view that other members disagree with and that other members have the prerogative to refute. Frankly, I don’t follow all the themes related to the discourse among this particular board member and others here because polarized views are part and parcel of social media and often go on at length without resolution. Partisan positions are often articulated clearly and eloquently in the face of opposing perspective and mutually potentially expand thinking among the readership. 
However, I witness that a board member with his index finger crazy-glued to the downvote key puts forward the strategy that a concrete punitive measure outside the chatroom boundaries be levied against the first aforementioned member, be operated in coordinated fashion by the board membership. We don’t do that here. Such lobbying is nothing short of a temper tantrum. 
Subsequent to this, the board member whose livelihood is threatened simply indicates that undermining his activities is essentially an own goal due to the negative cascade effect that could ensue. He adds that the sabotaging proposition mirrors the approach taken by the entities the strategy is intended to suffocate.
What you just did is assert that that he implied that whatever might be salutary about his businesses justifies his points of view in a separate arena, that they somehow exist in a zero sum equation. This is a fallacy of logic, as if he buys into the notion, for example, that Hitler’s fondness for dogs and babies offsets the egregious. He made no such type of connection whatsoever.
He did not suggest that one corollary of his employment structure and activities was the privilege of an opinion. He simply intelligently opposed the shenanigans of another board member whose obvious antipathy and overzealous and usually misapplied cancel-culture bent led to idiotic scheming and a salvo that, as it turns out apart from having no legitimate place here, would lack intended impact.

Yes, some positions seem so contrarian and incredulous as to defy logic. They may tend to stimulate surprise and rancour much more than influence real world outcomes.
You have amplified my point by missing the point. It was illogical to opine that someone whose logic escapes you in one matter, however legitimate your perspective in that subject topic, had put forward a defence regarding such logic based on unrelated activities that suggest a win for the overall good of an unrelated constituency.
Enjoy your vintage, in enough moderation so as to stay on track. Insinuating that I categorically dismiss, in gaslight fashion, your point of view viz a controversial matter within the domain of a third party’s obnoxious attempt at judge jury executioner status regarding that particular theme, is simply additional manipulative spin. I am on the side of objective logical debate. 

This does not work if I have in my hand a wine glass and you say its obviously an elephant. This debate does not work and requires correction, otherwise we eventually agree its really an elephant.

WTAF?! Plotting to sabotage livelihood, egging on other members to do so, is but a shaky and odious proposition. That’s a hard no from me.

It seems to have sprung from a locally well known fromage tour operator a bit west of Montreal. When Trappist monks sell the farm there’s no telling what will evolve including its relation to the smell test and to variety on the in-flight cheese course trolley .

My fingerprints were taken upon arrival and biometrically linked to my passport. I think that if I were somehow discovered dead with my water bottle and phone the authorities could figure out my identity. Of course it’s considerate to be conscientiously facilitative but I suppose offing oneself often precludes optimal organization.
Anyway, it turns out the deceased was identified fairly quickly somehow through CCTV footage leads. His planned stay had been set at 3 months and he had 5-6 weeks remaining
Incidentally just days before in the area the police intervened with a Russian male planning to leap to his death from a building. At first I thought that he was maybe eventually free to go and take a better stab at it. 

Sorry I missed it. I see you can hop on the Gold Line going north from Krung Thon Buri BTS station. 
Yaowarat Road in Chinatown is fun but might be too intense. I was tipped off to it watching Netflix 1st season of Somebody Feed Phil though of course it’s mentioned in all guides. It’s only a few Metro stops northwest of Si Lom station, then short walk south, so it would be easy to backtrack to Patpong if not to the guests’ liking. 

Sorry to break it to you but Michelin Tire Man is deflating your tired comment several pressure points as I had a delicious lunch at a decent French restaurant conveniently located where my sightseeing took me that day, not multi tasting course mid-evening meal at a South Asia themed restaurant. Nothing personal.

Me too, excellent example at Le Meredien,  not that expensive! The suite also has a double shower for ease of showering with your companion! And a Japanese toilet. 

me too and I  know why I like all that space - I grew up in very smalI apartment where every square inch was utilized.
One danger of big hotel room is that we may tend to spread our stuff  all over and when packing something may be forgotten - see my last trip report where I confess to leaving about 100 000 riels in 5000 riel notes on the night desk. And no, I was not in rush when packing , it just happened. 

Haha yeah, I noticed. I tend to prefer bigger rooms and at each of those hotels, I'd usually pick the one-bedroom unit, with a separate bedroom and living room. Not sure why but I love all that space 🤣

Yes, I saw one of my companions breakfasting with another client at Le Meredien! He grinned at me!

I tend to stay at hotels not too close to (but not that far from) the bars (like Bandara Suites, At Ease Saladaeng, Silom Serene etc.) and so far, had no issues with bringing guests back in other than the knowing smiles of the doorman or receptionist 🤣🤣.

unfortunately it was not me, that guest breakfasting with said hunk. Meridien is not my league when comes to accommodation unfortunately, LOL

Le Meridien is perfectly ok with joiners - both male and female. The Japanese guests often eat breakfast with their female overnight companions (from Soi Thaniya). I even saw one of @vinapu regular hunks with a guest during breakfast!

Personally, I think it makes no difference  if you are a newbie, or an old hand. You still need to be sensible.  Le Meredien, a 5 star hotel, does not interfere with guests at all, so your own risk.

I'd add Amara. 

Le meridien, W, The standard, Crowne plaza, Pullman G Bangkok and even Sofitel are some luxury hotels close enough to the scene and all have no issues with guests.

I think it would be a great idea to refer to this map by one of the forum member. Its really helpful. He colour coded the guest friendly hotels around silom.

The Ibis Styles Silom is no problem bringing guests in.  Just have to meet them at the ground floor to take back up the elevator to your room.  Never had any of my visitors pulled up, questioned or glanced at all to my knowledge.  But be careful - one guy I had back to my room had taken something before he arrived and started tripping in my room.  I managed to get rid of him after about an hour singing and making weird noises in the shower.  That's an experience I would prefer not to have again...

Hilton Garden Inn Silom had nobody there to stop you from bringing in a guest.  You just walked in and made your way to the elevators.
