" Let's get our language and facts correct or we will be operating in cloud
cuckoo land and wondering why we are not making any headway. Against a
severe headwind. coming from behind us." Haruna
Since you hold brief for your friend Hamat Bah, you and him should bloody
zip it.  Who the held is he to say others should not speak while he talks
trash just like you.  Talking about headwind, since you talk with your foot
in your mouth no wonder what you emit from below is absolute bunkum and
stinky stuff.

Stop the bloody nonsense you keep spewing.  What facts? Hamat Bah uttered
silly stuff to please the UDP and with your  turgid grey matter you
warply believe you are the only one endowed with capabilities to be accurate
in your subjective deductions.   Well, turpitudity manifest as usual from
the haughty Haruinerding.
