 Thank you Mboge.
And if I might add, the G-L rules are pretty succinct when it comes to the issue of profanity.

Anty Jabou,

Keep up the spirit.  You are one formidable human being i admire you.  Justice a la this certain manager you talking to is slow when it comes to some, to others it is swift.  I can remember being delisted for describing Jammeh with a very insignificant word (I make no apologies for using this word and will it use it anytime i feel like it and mark you this word is far milder than what i have seen here).  And this was done without even cautioning, or perhaps i am just simply annoying to this manager.  Talking about 'exploring all means to settle conflict, i think not.  Thanks to the uneven dispensation of so-call justice Gambi-L style, the popular GAMBIA POST was born.   


Best,

Mboge

 Malanding,



Thank you.

I am glad to know that the wheels of justice are turning albeit slowly.

If we have a set up that mirrors Jammeh's kingdom, we would have lost the moral authority to say anything to him.

Sister Jabou, 


While the wheels of justice may be exceedingly slow on the L, I will 


assure you that it hasn't completely come to a halt. I am still waiting 


on other members of the Management Team for their response before 


submitting a final response. 

 


Over the years, my position on conflict resolution on the L has evolved 


to first exploring all means of settling disputes off-line before taking 


it up on the L. This is due to a couple of reasons. 1) the very 


complicated set of rules and procedures governing complaint resolution 


we developed many years ago requiring timely participation of all 


members of the management team (some of whom) are not responsive, and 2) 


that G-L should be and is a place for mature and descent people who are 


guided by a good sense of camaraderie even when debating highly 


contested political topics. I can say our 15yrs record is testament of 


the fact that all but a handful have been very responsible in the way 


they handle themselves. 

 


I know for a fact that you have particularly suffered more than any 


other member when it comes to personal attacks and insults. However, you 


have demonstrated for us to see that it still possible to make onesA
0


point without invectives and name calling. I hope Mr. Touray  can and 


all other members can learn from such grace.
