From 1989 since i came to know you, i've had much respect for your
personality and intellegence: your quite temper, well behaved attitude and
most commendably your studiousness.

Your above assertion, which i quoted, sounds so unlike you. So full of
anger, despair, alien minded and total disregard for all that you preach.
Much as you hate the APRC leadership it certainly should not cloud your
judgment of other people. Your acceptance of them for who they are and what
they believe-in. I would have respected you more, had you given me my due
respect.

You have learned in your O'levels government studies that, there is what
they call political neutrality, particularly in the civil service. If you
think that is sheer nonsense. That would be your business. I, unlike you,
accept others for who they are. As a great football (soccer)enthusiast (
maybe you still are), is the neutrality of the referee important? Or is that
hypocritical too?

I know without an iota of doubt on my mind, you have been patiently rolling
your shirt sleeves and waiting impatiently to bounce on me! That's why you
returned all my recent personal mails to me without comment. Unlike you, i
address people directly and speak my mind! I tell you, it's easy. Certainly
more honorable too. In the future address me directly and tell me what you
think about me and my postings, i could learn one or two things.

I am impatiently waiting your "trashing my posting in the bin, where it
rightly belong", as you would say.

Good night my friend.
Harona.
