Mr. Makaveli, you wrote:

"The fact remains that you goona have the Kebba Jobes who proudly chose to
hide their identity, say whatever they feel like and have no same or
repercussions. He keeps telling us his identity is not the issue but those
who write here with their real names are forced to be accountable with what
they write here. So it does no justice treat the likes of Kebba Jobe lightly
while putting the Ansumana Kujabis, who I may add uses his real name, under
such intense microscopic scrutiny. Because The Ansumana Kujabis use their
real name they either defend themselves by putting their points across and
apologize whe they see any wrong-doing. But for the Kebba Jobes, what do
they have to loose. They don't take the risk many of us who use our real
names put ourselves when we provide damaging information to say the APRC for
instance. For all I know they can curse at anyone they choose, get delisted
and come back with 5 or 10 alias and still do whatever their heart desires.
To that note, purnishment to those who use their real name seems more
severe".

With all due respect, get me out of this. You know full well that despite
the fact that I am using an alias, out of choice, I always engage people on
issues. Of course occasionally I am tempted to jump into the gutter with
some of you, but most of the time I restrain myself. The fact remains that I
know that "Truth, beauty or contact lenses are in the eyes of the beholder".
Vulgarity and pettines will not do anybody any good. The fact that I am
contributing anything on this list using an alias does not give me the right
to insult anybody. It does not also mean that when I unwittingly hurt
somebody I should not appologise. For the record, when I first joined this
list, I did so with an open mind and was prepared to exchange ideas with
anybody about what is best for our country. However when certain individuals
thought that they had a monopoly of ideas and that nobody can/should
question whatever they write, that's when I started having a problem. I,
being a very independent thinker of my own, decided to pursue my own course.
It is very amazing that only a very small number of you show any sign of
being honest. These people know themselves so I need not name them. Despite
my many differences with many of you, I AM 100% CERTAIN THAT I HAVE EARNED
THE RESPECT OF THE HONEST ONES ON THIS LIST. NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT!!!!!!

You again wrote:

"I can go and on with other incidences but as you see folks, it is almost
impossible to control a forum of consenting adults of this
magnitude. That is why we should be open minded and try to have a certain
level of respect for one another. if our conscience doesn't help us, our
emotions will not either".

Makaveli, come straight to the point. Kebba Dampha has nothing to complain
about, let alone calling for the delisting of one of the list managers.
Sometimes it is better "To keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than
to speak and remove all doubt". Tell Kebba Dampha to just SHUT UP!!!

To Ansumana Kujabi if by your own volition you admit "Why monitor Kujabi,
whiles we have the KEBBA JOKES and ESSAS putting us through hell", I say you
ain't seen nothing yet.

Have a good day and bye 4Now, KB Jobe.
