Folks, I also witnessed the events leading to Matarr's expulsion from the L. I am also in support of forgiveness and reconciliation. However, my impression from Malanding, Katim and Jabou's posting's is that Matarr in fact never stopped insulting people because of thier opinions expressed on the list. That he still sends private mail (full of profanity) to many list members. My understanding of forgiveness is that it is for PAST deeds not wrongs that one CONTINUES to commit against others. Perhaps those calling for Mr Njie's re-instatement should also tell him to refrain from such unacceptable behaviour as a sign of his willingness to heal and reconcile? cheers, Modou. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
