FuelMix received several emails today from a GWM reader who allegedly had a confrontation with the Owner of ABC on Saturday evening, 5 December 2015.

The reader says the Owner, to whom he had chatted on past visits, is a middle aged Chinese gentleman with a round face and thinning hair.

FuelMix has heavily edited the various emails from this reader for grammar, clarity and brevity:

Loads of pushy and bitter guys there (mostly on the heavy side).  Not a place to go if you're looking for muscle guys - and God forbid you ask someone where there is a sauna that has hot guys.

I told a friend of mine who was with me, that we should go to Hutong the next day.  A chubby Chinese guy apparently a hair stylist, who had cruised both of us - and whom we had rejected, turned bitter.  He went to the Owner saying that we were badmouthing ABC.  We had done nothing of the sort.

As I was leaving, the Owner asked to speak to me.  He told me not to come back.  I was shocked.  I asked him why he would believe a bitter and jealous person and told him what had happened. I said I would not be badmouthing ABC if I had been coming there in the past.

The Owner apologized but I will not go back.

1. I posted my complaint on Travel Gay Asia today. 
2. They deleted it.
3. I wrote to them and they reposted it.
4. They have again deleted it.  Wonder why.

 
FuelMix says:

1.  In Gay Sauna Etiquette 17 dated 25 October 2012, another reader complained about a toxic fag who badmouthed them to the sauna staff.  We don't know which sauna it was.

2.  What is clear is that some fags are hate-filled to begin with, or they can't handle rejection in a sauna, or both.  They decide to seek "revenge" by running to the management.

3.  We speak from personal experience as well, because a few years ago (curiously also in ABC), a toxic Chinese fag whom FuelMix had rejected, went running to the Reception Staff alleging that FuelMix was a drug addict and/or was HIV Poz.

4.  The staff who were on good terms with FuelMix, told the toxic GAM to fuck off and then told FuelMix what had happened.  Being FuelMix, he confronted the toxic GAM in front of the customers. The GAM ran to the lockers, got dressed and left.

5.  We can understand why the Owner might initially have told this reader not to come back. He only had one source of information - the toxic fag.  When he heard the reader's side of the story, the Owner apologized.

6.  This is not  a case of the Owner restricting free speech in the sauna. He initially acted to protect his business reputation, relying on a source of information that turned out to be malicious.

7.  The fault lies in the clientele AND their lack of emotional intelligence. The reality is that even if entry is restricted by being based on looks and age (like Hutong), it is impossible to control what falls out of a toxic fag's mouth.

8.  As for Travel Gay Asia allegedly deleting the reader's complaint.....we are well aware that many gay information sites only publish "happy talk".  That's why we started our sauna reviews.

• Readers may submit reviews of gay saunas in any Asian city;
• We reserve the right NOT to publish reviews we deem suspicious, inaccurate or self-serving;
• FuelMix no longer gives personalized sauna advice;
