Mr. Camara:
I must write to congratulate you for the
independence you have exhibited in your
task as part of The Gambia-L Management
Team. I am urging all the members in
the struggle to use professionalism in
our desire for a united and free Gambia.
I am, however in total disagreement about
receipt of private mail from the dictator's
stooges to fearless comrades in the struggle
that you pinpointed should not be distributed
to Gambia-L. No member in the struggle should
communicate in private with the enemy and if
the mail suggests some vital information to
our comrades, I do not see a reason to not
release it to the public. After all, who should
we trust, the enemy or friends of The Gambia
who are fighting continuously for a yahya-less
Gambia?
I believe that we have a gigantic task ahead
of us, and as such we must unite in principle
and maximize our resources together for the
eventual downfall of the dictator of kaninlai.
I again want to thank the management for further
reiterating rules and regulations. I hope you
will make decisions consistently and fairly.
We are united for a common principle and we will
not be intimidated.
Naphiyo,
Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh

Subject: Message from Gambia-L Management
Dear Members of Gambia-L:
On behalf of the entire Gambia-l membership, a very big welcome to our newest
subscribers! We hope that you find the Bantaba a useful forum to discuss,
debate and share information on and about The Gambia.
We would like to take this opportunity to, again, inform all members that the
Management is very much disturbed by the fact that name-calling, insults and
personal attacks have lately replaced debate and discussion on the L. Some time
back, rules of conduct on the L were developed to guide our exchanges. On many
occasions, these Gambia-L Rules were forwarded to remind subscribers about the
expected rules of conduct, but the rules are too frequently ignored by some.
This being the case, a decision was made to moderate repeated offenders who
refused to respond to private mails requesting apologies to those offended.
While subscription to GAMBIA-L is open, and free to all, it is conditional upon
approval by designated list owners. Subscribers are expected to maintain a
mature and responsible tone in the contributions they send to the list. It is
hoped that our individual sense of responsibility, fairness, and decency,
coupled with the community policing of the list will help prevent, and contain
outbreaks of poor taste in our debates.
Given that some members have failed to honour these principles despite many
constant reminders, the Management has decided to take the following measures
effective immediately:
1. Anyone who writes offensive language on this forum will be sent a warning
letter. If the individual repeats the same offence, he/she shall be removed
from the List without warning.
2. If a subscriber sends an e-mail addressing you and you feel that that
particular mail is offensive to you, please do not hesitate to write to us at:
[log in to unmask] and the Management shall review the
contents and reply to your request as promptly as possible.
3.All responses to this mail must be sent to: GAMBIA-L-
[log in to unmask]
We are also appealing to current members to refrain from forwarding emails from
un-listed members to Gambia-L and private mails too should be sent to intended
persons and not to Gambia-l.
Please do not expect individual List Manager responses. Once a reply is sent to
the above address, it will reach the management team.
Your cooperation would be highly appreciated, and we wish everyone the very
best.
Regards,
Gambia-L Management
