AKi

I dont want to repeat whatever I have said and I dont owe anyone an apology. I stand by my statements and I dont tolerate theatrics. You dont want to tell me that whatever website or newspaper you read, you will want it only your way. There are many stuff I dont agree with in skunkworks and I dont go shouting and thinking that all should do it my way. Thats very immature way of viewing democracy.

Democracy dictates that we understand others well especially those who dont do it our way. But if you want only people to be discussing those stuff which pleases AKI, you are one egocentric chap and the problem is you and so the solutions lies in you.

The fact is that Bidii is diverse. I nowadays even see people I hate most, Gays, in Bidii fighting for their rights but I dont insult them and tell them to go to hell. I am reading more about them and understanding why they are winning the war for recognition so easily.

Let your demand for apology also not be one way. Demand apology for those who insulted and maligned those who are not able to defend themselves in this forum. But if we start engaging in personality pleasing here in the name of balanced criticism, you will be suprised that its a war which all will be willing to fight.

Gentlemen, my focus has remained mostly on tech issues, occasionally the rants on telcos. If I may comment :
 
@Mike : I was subscribed to bidii list without my consent. Therefore, I'd assume it is natural for the list to get criticism for its actions. Email canvassing has its bad effects too so any criticism/feedback as list hosts should be taken as is and corrected too. The issue of setting up spam block for any kenyan mailing lists makes no sense, who knows valuable contributions will be lost in the process. On the issue of content, since I was automatically signed up, therefore I have the right to comment. My opinion is that as responsible list hosts ethnic, tribal, racist, segregation and the rest do not belong in our society. Political views, corruption expose etc are fine and your passions accepted and respected, however I can tell you that I tend to ignore front pages of some local papers nor do I need any lists nor sites telling me of any doomsday scenarios for kenya. I have a choice and I use it. It is probably one more reason why I may not do my online video project as planned. On the comment about Imelda, I believe her personal life is hers. An apology is due to her, as a gentleman and as fellow skunk. If you were offended with my earlier post, please feel free to correct it. :-)
 
@Dennis : great efforts from you. :-)
 
These are my last comments on this thread. Please feel free to correct as necesary.
 
Rgds.
