I agree that Mr. Sarr should be deciplin. Tombong has a right
to support whomever he wants to support,but that does not
warrant impersonating him negatively as Sarr did.I don't
know if Sarr did it to discredit the list or just being childish
as latjor rightly label him.

Subject: TOMBONG (Joke?)
Gambia-L:
I'm not here to hold brief for Tombong and I often desist from
jumping into
personal issues. However, the political bickering and wrangling
aside it is
my opinion that such mail as the "joke" recently posted on
Tombong will
undermine our efforts to win our political debates.
Apparently, some people still tend to ignore Mr. Sarr's posting
that this
was a "joke", albeit a serious one. We can fight, but we can
still respect
eachother, I believe. As far as I know, Tombong is the only
person that
comes from the other side of the fence to express himself
regardless of the
fact that he is supporting a government that most of us would
like to hang
by the neck.
Let's not forget that even when the students were massacred some
APRC
supporters on this list saliently went mum, neither here nor
there. Tombong
at least dares show his true colors.
I know we're yearning for a uniform political base, in which
every Gambian
would live under an equitable and just political system. But as
long as the
sun rises and sets, as long as good and evil, right and wrong
exist, we'll
always have people who'd deviate from this ideal, for whatever
reason. It is
by accepting this deviation that we can build a fair and just
society, that
we can debate and finally say, "we've won, we've won!".
Hamadi.
