Saul,

Sorry for this late response. I meant to tell you earlier how   a powerful a
statement you made on this subject. Regardless of the isolated and rather
unfortunate bad remarks you received, you should take comfort in the fact
that when it comes to "saying like it's" you have been always unrelenting.
As you said people who read these postings are capable of making their
deductions. We must never again settle for mere mediocrety. It was that
tendency in the past that that brought us Yaya Jammeh. The beginning point
is for us to  learn to admire our individual talents and achievements. This
implies that everyone on this list and elsewhere has his or her own unique
talents which may or may not be displayed. This is a form of tolerance and
understanding that any collectivity requires to function. So, for talents
that can be read on the list lets appreciate them even where we disagree
with ideas being advanced. Take the example of calling some of hamjata's
postings as plagiarizing. This first shows that the person does not
understand what it is to plagirize and second has no idea about the trends
of thought that undepin the brother's writings.  Even if one assumes that he
indeed plagized-which was unfounded- , he should be admired for a lucid
display of somebody elses intellectual property. I am saying this only to
show how intolerance can constipate our own thinking. Let's move away from
debating to "win" to debating  to "understand"

Finally, brother Saul continue the good work.
