Ebrima
As you said please do not waste another drop of ink from your pen and engage this gentleman in some silly-sallying.
I mean this gentleman is just funny or weird. The script has to come from some Gourbel Diagne and Dawda Guisse setting. It seems for every tyrant in history we would have an equally naive and absurd character who would see it as his/her duty to defend them even if it borders on irrationality. I just don't get it. A screw must be loose somewhere.
At this stage i don't see why any sincere Gambian would doubt that Jammeh is a malignant tumour that has gone out of control. But then sincerity like honesty has become a rarity or non-existent with some people.
This is the same gentleman who when defending Tombong and Essa Sey insulted everyone's intelligence by insinuating/asserting that anyone in their respective shoes would have acted the same way so we should just shut it. And now he had the nerve to assert again that he is not trying to discredit or despoil your integrity when he said you are forger par excellence vis-a-vis the emails from your source. The gentleman's reasoning is near impossible to take into stock. I guess i will have to waste my time and hit it to him that a discredited regime like Jammeh's is filled from top to bottom with deepthroats and silent whistle blowers. But even that wouldn't do the trick with this gentleman.
On the mails from your source, be comforted in the knowledge that some of us who have the sense to read between the lines know that everything we read from those mails are a possibility.
This gentleman's naivety would have to be excused lest he turn us all into kindergarten cranks.
Keep up the pressure. Fascism must be uprooted and not appeased.
