I don't think these gentlemen are referring to any particular person, but
some people took it as they are the intolerance.This is what i am
referring as
self promoting individual of the GL.Brothers don't mind him let the truth
prevail without fear.An intellegent person will never engage in such
ill-mannered attacks without sensible reasons.Yet again, who the cap fit,
let them wear it.
An intellegent person is a person who can use his/her brain to balance
facts from fiction regardless of their educational backgrounds.An
intellegent person always respect him/herself as well as others dignity.
An intellegent person is a person who never look beyond their reach.
I will rather use basic words to communicate in an organisation than
quoting words hard to comprehend by greater proportion of the readers.I
will never call myself intellegent if I am hard to comprehend via my
ways of putting messages through.
I commend you mr osborn and Jawara keep on sending you commends,They
are quite logistical and profounded to the issues in question here.
Edi.
