I agree that Mr. Sarr should be deciplin. Tombong has a right to support whomever he wants to support,but that does not warrant impersonating him negatively as Sarr did.I don't know if Sarr did it to discredit the list or just being childish as latjor rightly label him. -----Original Message----- From: Hamadi Banna [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2000 12:25 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: TOMBONG (Joke?) Gambia-L: I'm not here to hold brief for Tombong and I often desist from jumping into personal issues. However, the political bickering and wrangling aside it is my opinion that such mail as the "joke" recently posted on Tombong will undermine our efforts to win our political debates. Apparently, some people still tend to ignore Mr. Sarr's posting that this was a "joke", albeit a serious one. We can fight, but we can still respect eachother, I believe. As far as I know, Tombong is the only person that comes from the other side of the fence to express himself regardless of the fact that he is supporting a government that most of us would like to hang by the neck. Let's not forget that even when the students were massacred some APRC supporters on this list saliently went mum, neither here nor there. Tombong at least dares show his true colors. I know we're yearning for a uniform political base, in which every Gambian would live under an equitable and just political system. But as long as the sun rises and sets, as long as good and evil, right and wrong exist, we'll always have people who'd deviate from this ideal, for whatever reason. It is by accepting this deviation that we can build a fair and just society, that we can debate and finally say, "we've won, we've won!".
