How, one can condoned libelous statements and character assasinations on the one part, and abhor abusive language on the other is quite beyond me.

This part is really incomprehensible to me too.

Dear List Managers:

After observing for several weeks the nightmarish exchanges between Joe Sambou on one side and Jassey-Conteh, Jabou Joh and Tapha Faye on the other, and the subsequent action taken by your team, I feel obligated to express my outrage.

I have no doubt that all involved are good people, but if we are crying for a just society, we must have an effective mechanism that metes out sanctions in a balanced manner when necessary and provide guidance where required. This, in my humble opinion has been lacking on G-L lately.

How, one can condoned libelous statements and character assasinations on the one part, and abhor abusive language on the other is quite beyond me.  The rules on the L clearly speak to both issues and are grounds for expelling anyone off the list.

Perhaps it is just a question of technicality? One has to formally lodge a complaint to the management team before action is take? To test this:

I am formally lodging a complaint to the the list managers against the following individuals for being involved in character assasination and making libelous statements against the person of Joe Sambou without a shred of evidence provided by them to the list, and ask that they me removed from the list with immediate effect: Jassey-Conteh, Jabou Joh and Tapha Faye.

You know, the Nazis had a similar tactic against peopl they loathed. If you speak a lie often enough, over and over, soon people will take it as the truth. Good Germans are still paying for this crime!
