G-Lers,

It has never been my desire to be involve in a negative exchange on this
forum and I apologize for it.Being defensive is an indication of threat to
which humans and other animals will react to one way or the other. I join
this list for the same reason as Momodou but the practice of labeling and
name calling when opinions differ need to stop.
I thank all those who privately advice me not to proceed with the exchange.I
can assure you that I will heed your advice as long as the attacks does not
continue.It is unacceptable that people are scared off this platform or
rendered mute because off differences in opinion.
All on this list witnessed me trying to put the brakes on the attack
by ignoring and pleading with the guy but none of you said nothing until I
decided to respond.
As Gambians and Africans, the need to continue having dialogue on issues
that concerns our country and continent is paramount now more than ever
despite our differences.The approach must be discipline and mature.

Africa must move on.


Beran
