Kervin,
Why argue to prove any point to you when you do not understand Jalloh's salient point nor my main point of argument that Godwin is attempting to stifle free expression. The AAM has no designed policy that prevents subscribers from posing happy news about new arrivals in Madison.
Jalloh and Ann Marie including others have read between to figure out that Godwin's approach is wrong. "There is more to it" as Ann Marie said in her last email. But this medium is not the place to rudely target people you perceive as foe, rather is a place to share improtant information free of biases. In this case you and Godwin are on the wrong path.
This listserv is not a playing pool to grudgingly settle harbored scores with people. It is meant to create a forum for sound debate and to share viable education that will benefit fellow subscribers.
You may elect to use the Liberian Association listserv to venge your frustrations on Alex and not the AAM listserv. Simple as that.
We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that time is ripe to do right.
