Jabou,
In the frantic effort to appease (through apology) Pdois and NCP for your
uneducated remarks, you turned around to attack UDP/PPP by taking as gospel
truth the story lines of Pdois and NCP- literally moving from one extreme to
another which suggest a poor grasp of the events in their proper
perspectives and a putrid anti-PPP bias which tends to blur the central
focus on the despot.
So really, no effort is being made here to silence anybody; it is more
useful to unmask illogical and stupid utterances than to keep the harbingers
of such silent. In any event who can silence anybody in this forum- except
the managers upon breach of the code? The point is, the pregnancy with the
anti-PPP baggage is simply hypocritical and delusional. As Yus said the
ravages of the APRC cannot be compared with any of the many failings of the
PPP era. But to keep harping on PPP or UDP/PPP alliance is just sheer
rubbish. To keep advancing such arguments is even worse than being an APRC
sympathizer, if one claims to be otherwise.
