While I am no longer a list manager, I agree with Tombong on the issue of
our choice of language. We do ourselves a tremendous dis-service by using
abusive, vulgar, and uncultured language, which has the tendency of shunning
many who would otherwise be active participants in the dialogues. It is
'ungambian'! (to borrow a much abusive phrase).

Let us make a conscious effort to speak on the issues with tempered
language.
