Demba,

Fanaticism is about uncritical enthuiasism about something. So am not sure
if that is the right word to use because I am being critical. Anyway, if
Halifa can have a small fanatic taliban like followership, then it is
inspiring that there are others like myself who detest to everything about
his narcissism, profound arrogance and wishful grandiose. So is the beauty
of democracy.

Thanks
Daffeh

perception but an incontravertable fact.

>> I do not "feel obliged to come out this way" Daffeh. I am merely stating
the truth of my position. The point is, our perceptions of Halifa Sallah
differ. I see him as a great human being who, like all of us has his
personal faults but who is  nevertheless a very decent and enlightened
individual. Perhaps you know that I have had some disagreements with Mr.
Sallah in the past and I certainly do not subscribe to his political
ideology. But that said, my relationship with Halifa is one of mutual
respect. If I need to criticze him, I will do so in good old plain English
and not use satirical metaphors. In my opinion, he deserves better than
that from me. Not so the real Heyhey Nopilen who, again in my perception -
which may not be other people's perception -  is an insentive windbag and a
totally clueless and hyper-arrogant dude who likes to rattle his imaginary
mental sabre and make funny noises all over the place.

>> So no worries Daffeh. Just to say that as an enlightened democrat, you
might want to consider the possibility that this time around, you are
mistaken. It happens sometimes.

subjective and what you see may not be what I see. So while respecting your
right to interpret my work, please allow me to say that as far as I am
concerned - and in this case I know better since I am the author - Heyhey
Nopilen is not meant to depict Halifa Sallah for whom I have great respect.
So Daffeh, no cover blown here yet. Perhaps you may want to try again?
