Hmmm.... I'm called a pathologically sick liar? And yet you deliberately take my words out of context? I mean, deliberately! I did not say that Gambians were "different than the rest of the human race". I reproduce my quote below. "The last time people told me I wasn't correct in my assertions, and the last time that I asked for clarification, I never got any, just another reassertion that I was wrong, and that even if I was told "the truth" I'd never understand it anyway. Because for some reason, that no one has yet explained to me, Gambians are somehow so much more different than the rest of the human race. " What I've been told is that I'd not understand, because Gambians are so "different", etc. And if you'd have read further you'd have seen where I said, And I just simply don't believe that. So let me lay it out for you again. I said that, when I have asked questions, as I alluded to before, I've been told that "Gambians are ... " insert whatever you want, tribalist, politically immature, etc., and that no matter how hard I tried, I'd not be able to understand them. And I'm saying, that Gambians are much different from the rest of humanity are they? And I say, no I don't believe that! You deliberately made it look like I said that "Gambians are somehow different from the rest of the human race". Which obviously I don't think they are, but you were also the same person who said that I thought my opinion was superior to that of Gambians because I used the phrase "vantage point". This is really unbelievable! And we're talking about pathologically sick people? I don't think I'm the only one that fits into that character. Anyway... I do offer my apologies to all Gambians, if anyone misunderstood what I said. And I'm sorry that my opinions offended anyone. I'm sorry for being a nuissance, I'm sorry that being outspoken offends anyone. And I'm sorry that I don't hold Mr. Sallah up to the standard that many think he deserves to be held up to. And though I was trying to be conciliatory, my statements are taken to mean that I'm once again attempting to derail the process of uniting the opposition, and even if I may not have been the sole cause of disuniting the opposition before, I don't want to be the cause of that now. So if it means that I need to keep silent, or disengage from the discussion, or whatever, I'll do it. I really am done with this issue and this list. Because nothing good is coming out of this. Especially if all I do is cause groans of disgust or howls of outrage every time my name shows up in someone's inbox. I may be a lot of things, stubborn, opinionated, sensitive, emotional, pathological sick, whatever you want to say, but I've never meant any ill will toward anyone. And if what you're saying causes people to hate you, consider you a nuissance, cuss you out, tell you to shut up, then this isn't really the place you want to be. Anyway, I hate writing messages like this, because I realize that it makes me look childish and immature, however, at this point, no matter what I do, I'm not going to look good. I'll either be a coward for running away, stubborn for comtinue to speak my mind, immature for writing a post like this. So anyway, I've been here for somewhere along ten years now, and I've thought long and hard about leaving, and I think it's probably the best thing for me and everyone else. Especially if my presence causes such consternation. Anyway. Take care all, and I'm sorry for any hurt or offense caused. If I'm going to say anything, I'll keep it on my blog.
