I started the topic "Telling It Like It Is" with the idea of proving some points. I hereby closed this topic having proven the points I set out to prove, these points being, 1) this forum alone will not be useful in resolving your issues, you need some movements within your individual afochas. 2) The forum lacks divers views and opinions on the issues at hand, as shown in the topic I introduced, “Telling It Like It Is”, there were just two participants. 3) Even if there are enough participants, their contributions are such that meaningful discussion is not possible for nobody stay focused on the issue at hand long enough to discuss the topic and reach a logical conclusion; as shown by the only two participants, “The community” and “Hareri”. Therefore those of you who are really concerned, while being active on this forum, should also think about creating ways to involve your community leadership in your own individual communities. Also while taking part on this forum, we should all stay focused on the topic at hand and avoid being confrontational. The best way to stay positive and focused is to keep your response to the point and relevant to the topic under discussion, in so doing we will be able to bring all topics under discussion to their logical conclusions. KEEP IT SIMPLE AND POSITIVE!!

Permission to play “hardball” I want to create a new topic called “Let Us Play Hardball” the purpose is to moderate a question and answer session between the two parties. The two parties are those who are dug in, holding their own positions, as to who is responsible for the splitting of the “Afocha.” During these proceedings, I want the two parties answering three fundamental questions, while making their own case or point. These questions are 1) Do you believe there are issues/problems? 2) How did the issues/problems arise? 3) How do you resolve them? When I deem necessary and at a time of my choosing, I will intervene and bring this particular question and answer session to its “logical” conclusions. Are you game Mr. Web Master? Let me know, cause I am drafting the rules for this session. I am not only asking permission but also seeking cooperation from you to facilitate smooth forum by removing unhelpful posts from the “threads” we will be utilizing for these sessions. Thanks.

Just a memento: Do you all know that the people who created all this chaos are still working as elected officials on both AFOCHAs? Consequently, no matters what have been said in this discussion forum or anywhere else, these elected officials don’t want hear about it. Furthermore, if anyone brings the issue to the surface, they put sanction on it. That is way we all going back to the same circle. Keep in mind, how many times the opening part of the issue (are they willing to sit down and work out their differences?) had been discussed. 1st Abdi, 2nd SJ1, and now ignite and goes on and on and on and on unless the first part of the issue gets attention from both sides. Therefore, here is my suggestion to Ignite, if you’re truly serious and want to get to the bottom of the issue, make sure they pay attention to your opening statement and see if they’re staid too. If you succeed in this, the rest will be much easier. Insha Allah.

Dear brother/Sister, First of all I want you to be aware of that I am responding to your inquiry as a concerned Harari, but not as the Webmaster. Next, if you are in fact concerned and would like to discuss any topic, I think you need to identify your self so that everybody knows whom we are conversing with. Then will take it from there. Thank you for your concern.

It does not make any sense when you say, "if you are in fact concerned and would like to discuss any topic, I think you need to identify your self" Your statement begs the question, why now? If the requirement to discussing any topic is to identify one self then we both know you Discussion Forum would have been blank, of course there are few exceptions where individuals put their real names. So I ask YOU again, what is up with this new requirement and why now?

Ignite, with all the respect, I don’t see any problem with Redwan’s response. To me it sounds legitimate. One thing Redwan failed to point out is, your way is no different than Abdi’s and SJ1’s.

Sorry, I am not introducing a new requirement. I just want to know whom I am conversing with. Other than that, feel free to post what is in your mind. Just a word of caution: Be responsible for your postings!

Mr/Mrs or Miss ignite, I’m waiting to take part in your game. If you have it, go ahead & post it. I’m certain each of us “including your self” would like to have a tittle-tattle topic for a weekend gathering. So what are you waiting for Mr.?
