Suntu:
I correctly predicted that the next words off your blabs are that I a member of CCG. Go ahead, call a press conference and satisfy your orgies. Such is your manner of thinking. You like to make things up in your head. 

However, I cannot and do not intend to judge you as a person. Rather the inherent danger in the way you insist and fabricate ideas in your head and put those forward as irrefutable facts. You tend to present yourself, either naively or intentionally, as the most neutral person ever, the most daring ever, the most straightforward when it comes to issues relating how Gambians fight their plight. You present yourself as if you are the one who sets the standards for all to follow. 

With that in mind, I will take a few lines from your most recent posting and follow up with simple questions for you to answer. With this exercise, I am hoping we can all get to know the real Suntu or at least have a better glimpse into how you process your thoughts to help us understand what you are trying to tell us. I truly believe that you are either way too misunderstood because you think faster and wider than everyone else; or you are outright malicious in your uncanny knack for making stuff up.

Please indulge me:

1-	You wrote: “…the hopes of our democracy's future depends on the impartiality of our press.”
         What is Suntu’s standard(s) for “impartiality of our press?” 

2-	“But that is what live politics breed...individuals always want to take glory whilst the Shack is attacking...”
         Can you please share with us the names of the individuals who “always want to take glory…?” And the   circumstances you are referring to?

3-	“....the reason certain newspapers cannot do justice to opposition parties is because they are actively competing   with them in other avenues.”
       Which newspapers “are actively competing with…” and what is your standard for “doing justice” to opposition parties?

4-	“….we need our newspapers and the journalist to be free and balance, newspapers and the journalist should control or understand the stage of our politics.”
        What is your standard for a journalist to be “free and balance” and how do you think newspapers and journalist are going to be able to “control and understand the stage of our politics.”

Suntu, in the interest of clarity and fair exchange, I, and I hope many on this forum, would like to know the answers to the questions I posed. If you feel you do not need to answer these questions, then I will have to make my own conclusions on the quoted statements based on how I understand them. Is that fair enough?

-Laye
