Lamin,
I am seriously disturbed by the way you arrived at your conclusion about this particular fracas! Honestly, even Haruna gave a better reasoning, even if flawed and incompleted. I am sure your siding with Yero has definitely made me look at you in a very different light and it will take a while before I can change that.
You are the one who publicly cautioned me to avoid Haruna, since my posting seem to always fall on his bad side. Haruna's objective evidence was incomplete and glaringly biased, but yours is worst, trust me, that was my job. Good folks here wrote to me in private, telling me to cool it then and this unprovoked attack on my person that you seem to ignore and even encourage says a lot about you than you can ever imagine, in the eye of right thinking people here. You arrived at conclusions that Yero was acting funny and unpeculiar and went on to try to convince folks here that he was not a tribalist, yet it was he who went on a rampage and digging up writes up that are very old. That suggested he was deeply disturbed by those writings that he brought them up in desperation and definitely guilty of them. I was just justifying why they were disturbing him still. You were more like a counsellor than a jurist and that is what is disappointing and disturbing.
There was no such serious incident than we witness here daily between Mboge, Demba and Yero, yet you chose to ignore those incident. I challenge you to mention any other issues that I was involved in apart from these two, except with Haruna trying to annoy me and failing woefully.
I threaten your charge Yero, Abdou Karim and Bajinka with legal action for defamation and it is my prerogative and good given right, that no one can take away and it worked as they desisted and whether I have serious capacity is left to be seen especially if it had continued. Of course I have examined my mode and will stay out of controversial issues like the Raleigh and Pa Nderry issue and be as submissive and conventional as you want, if only I can. You see, I spent over 10 years working and training others and myself as a complaint and discipline and then a military police commander, I was chosen very young because I think differently, boldly and without fear or favour not because of A Level law only. Those are not traits I can discard here because of two fracas. I may come across as annoying and downright arrogant and a smart ass, but that is me. The only changes I can effect are ignoring personal attacks and insults, but I cannot change who I am. When truth is on your side and I will say so and if I feel you are wrong, no matter how annoying or rude I come across, I will say so, that is who I am. That is the reason I got the best in leadership in the military academy and served more than any other person as the disciplinary corp commander in the history of our armed forces, loved and hated fiercely, but respected! The troops I led, though love and respect me, even today, because of the aforementioned traits.
I thank you for your concerned, but these personal attacks and insults cannot silence me, it will take more than that, say, delisting me! I owe it to more country first and always, and then the troops I led, and then my own welfare and the welfare of my family, always and forever! That is an oath I took on commission and I live by daily!
Thanks,
Kejau

Of course I respect you, and please understand I did not come to such an intervention easily. Your recent spat with Daffeh is too fresh in my mind, and the only reason I stayed an intervention in that ugly fracas was because Haruna stepped in and set the record straight. Although you protested profusely, the objective evidence clearly supported Haruna's position that you provoked Daffeh.
There were other serious incidents, and in none of those could I remotely say you were right.
On other occasions, less serious I must admit, you threatened people with legal action in circumstances suggesting you had no serious
capacity to carry through your threats.
If I am not concerned about the actual and potential perceptions these needless misunderstandings may create around your image, I'll just sit back, relax, and enjoy the fights. I derive no pleasure from these unfortunate incidents, and that is why I am suggesting, with absolute sincerity, respect, and politeness, that you reexamine your mode of communication to avoid triggering unpleasant spats with others. I hope you take a dispassionate look at my plea, but whatever your choice of conduct, this is the last you'ii hear from me in so
far as the delicate matter of restraint in online communication is concerned.

Lamin,
I am disappointed with you with sides in this discussion. You seem to ignore the fact that the only thing I said was to thank Yero notwithstanding his garuwalleh, more than 24hrs before his outrage. Your charge, Yoero and I even continued exchanging comments,
though he was still bringing in irrelevants. It was only when Mboge and Joe joined in the discussion, holding him to account that Yero went on a rampage, bringing in issues not relevant that were said many years ago. I was finished with this thread but due
to the fact I did respect you and you disappoint me by blantly and openly taking sides that I found disturbing. I waited for others reaction to enable me make a decision about my involvement in future in our common struggles as well as contributions to these
forums. Fortunately the response was positive.
Kejau.

Thanks for your thought on potential talks in Minnesota. I think your truce initiative with YJ is already showing some deep and sincere progress. That saves me from the long trip to Minnesota, and once in the US, from mandatory trips to Atlanta, Lexington,
and a few other cities in Yankee country. I would have avoided the face to face lobbying to be a HarunaMo, some membership category of HarunaSilo, the newly minted religion of our very own Haruna Darbo
Going by the record of avoidable conflicts involving him on this distro, and the Post, all that may be needed is a short private consultation with Kejau on the topic of restraint in public terrain. Oslo is indeed relatively closer to Queen country. I
wouldn't say there is no art to communication, but the so-called golden rule, i.e., do unto others ..., is all the strategy one needs to stay out of the Kejau-type difficulties. All his recent flares are unnecessary, especially this one on Imam Baba Leigh
considering Kejau and YJ appear to share the same philosophical wavelength on the post-release travails and questions around the persecuted Imam.
I'm sure YJ has reverted to his consistently good online self, and that he wouldn't relapse to recent form sufficiently enough to slap amicable co-existence on the face, to paraphrase from his poem on "unity".

Brother Lamin
I was going to place a special phone call to Yero this evening, reason and only reason to accord for a truce. If this effort fails, LJD and brother Haruna will have to quickly put a plan together for another conference in Minnesota. Our cool and collected
Yero will personally invite all parties concerned including his brother Kejau from Norway. Maybe we can build a consensus on a way forward by sitting at the same table. Yero please advise!

Is this really YJ? Unbelievable!
Like they say,
live long enough and you see/witness everything. As far as Gambian politics, I can say with certainty you do not have a tribalist bone in your body. Kejau clearly missed your numerous criticisms of Hamat and his politics.
What is the deal with "balls" anyway?
LJDarbo
Kejau, Eeseesoh firing, (LOL).
Your feebly mind is clearly sick and pathetic. I agree with Haruna that you are a pathological liar. Thanks for continuing to read me. Keep reading while I walk you through baby steps....we call it 'tehteh waawee yadu'. I wanted to warm up your blood pressure
and I see that you are boiling. Well, the sad thing, your criminal mind couldn't do a jack about my balls. (laugh out loud). You are moving from castrating me to committing suicide on your own soul.
If your comprehension level is at the level it is, you will never get it right no matter how anyone tries to help your wires in your rotten oblongata connect. Are you serious that you haven't rehabilitated from your sickness? That would be very interesting.
Are you certainly not ashamed of your stupidity, paranoia, and inability to just be within acceptable
