Saul & Fatou, Let's not be bugged down on this. I know you both are intelligent enough. We have more pressing issues. Thanks to you both Beran -----Original Message----- From: saul khan [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2000 10:07 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Jaw: Re: THE END OF THE ROAD Jaw, Please do me a favor and re-read my entire exchange with Ebou Jallow, or the case of Essa Sey, and see if what I said yesterday is supported by the facts. If what I said isn't the truth, I'll offer you my total apologies on this List. I really don't understand what's going on here. Your Ebou Jallow angle clearly missed the point, because the exchange was NEVER about my views: It was about character! As that goes, Ebou showed everyone what he is made of by forwarding someone's mail who stated categorically that he wants the note to remain exclusive. The sender is now running for his life. Several people gave an opinion about that. I won't even say another word. And the guy you described simply isn't me. You criticize me in person, so that isn't an issue with me. As long as it's factual, I dont mind. But this is bound-less territory, and what gets here becomes a matter of public record. Thus, my setting the records straight. When you use words like "shoving" your thoughts down people's throats, that's not me! What I have always done in every org I've been a part of, is to withdraw my support when it becomes clear to me that certain basic rules will never be adhered to. How does that tie in with someone who "shoves" his thoughts down others' throats? If I were in the "shoving" business, don't you think I'll force my wife to agree with me on everything. As it is, the woman is active in several groups that I literally cannot stand. You know this, Jaw. So, who's this "shover" you're portraying? And the case of Essa Sey is a matter of public record. You don't need to believe anything I said. Just read the archives and see what that fellow was trying to make us believe in April. And he VOLUNTARILY de-listed. NO ONE threw him out. So Lady, you're dead wrong on all those points! This was the gist of what I wrote yesterday. Instead of accepting the truth, or at least reviewing the facts, you're getting angry, and further complicating matters by declaring our friendship "assassinated," etc, etc. And I am intolerant? But in any case, if intolerating the Ebou Jallows and Essa Seys is what earns me this title, I very gladly accept it. I see it as an honor, and feel really enhanced by it. I just wish I knew where you're coming from, 'cause I have a weird feeling that this topic is but an excuse to throw some things out. Good morning from an iceblock. Saul. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
