Well, well, well.. It looks like Conteh's question and my rejoinder has
touched a nerve and made you loose your cool Joe.
By the way, let me first say that I have a right to my observations and
opinion, and sue me for it if you like.
I see Joe that you are drawing at straws to make a point, and you have
resorted to your favourite one, religion.

You wrote:

"As for Jabou, folks here know there is no love lost because I
have challenged her, starting years back when this same Jabou came to
separate Gambians on the basis of their religion.  You'll remember when she
announced here that as Muslims in Gambia are not following the Koran,
because they should not befriend Christians, eat their food, visit each
other, etc"

Joe, I invite you to search the L archives and produce a posting in which I
personally said that Gambian muslims should not befriend Christians, eat their
food or visit with them. I will wait for you to produce that.

You remind me of all the people who are scurrying to capitalize on the
current religious turmoil in the World by trying to accuse muslims of bias so you
can gain milage from it. What a shame!

You also wrote:


"I said that Yaya is a tribalist.  However, what I will not tolerate from you
or anyone is to come here and brandish all Jolas as tribalist."

Again Joe, I invite you to find anywhere in my posts on the issue of
tribalism where I branded all Jolas tribalists. I will also wait for you to produce
that from the archives.

I am not confused, nor do I rage until I loose track of what I want to say. I
think what I have said on this issue is abundantly clear.
You, on the other hand are trying so hard to keep people at bay from
discussing certain topics that you seem to loose track of what people are actually
saying as opposed to what you perceived them to have said. You should at least
take time to read and understand what people are saying before you go to "work"
instead of reacting to certain key words only. Bad idea. It will give you away
every time.

Of Conteh you wrote:

"This is also the same fellow that told me as I solicited for other Gambian
Associations in the different states to contribute to the Save The Gambia
Fund, he told me that North Carolina will contribute but want to nominate
their own candidate, different from the coalition."

I am sure Conteh can speak for himself, but I just want to point out yet
another attempt of yours to make points. I believe that what Conteh said was a
suggestion that each locality form their own group and appoint someone local to
collect the funds  towards this effort. Conteh can correct me if I am wrong.
Otherwise, it makes absolutely no sense that each locality nominate theie own
candidate.What a barrage of candidates that would be and what a defeat of the
purpose.

Finally, writing things that oppose a person are not proof that one is not
engaged in a deceptive game. Even amateurs know that .

The fact remains that you work quite hard at trying to keep certain topics
from being discussed on these lists and you even go so far as to take things out
of proportion and deliberately misrepresent what others are saying even as
you carry on about Jammeh.
Rest assured Joe Sambou that you will not set the tone of the content of what
is discussed here, and if that is an assignment for you, you will fail.
