Generally, you should only appeal to authorities if you cannot resolve the matter in the community. If you find that someone in the discussion is using an inappropriate tone, get involved, post a message yourself, tell them that you feel offended by something they said, and ask them to be more polite. If you cannot do that, or if it doesn't help, then the next step would be writing to the moderator(s). The Thailand forum is moderated by user stephankn. The moderator can edit posts or block people from contributing to the forum. What is or is not abusive will often depend on the usual tone of exchange in a region, therefore it is desirable to have rules interpreted by people familiar with the local customs. Discussing the tone on the Thailand forum on the international talk mailing list is probably much less helpful than the two suggestions I have made above.
