[kictanet] Time Out!

Thu Sep 10 12:58:21 EAT 2009

Guys,

I am equally shocked at the amount of venom we can emit online in such a
short time.  As the moderator of the  list, I have had to suspend Onyango
Hatari's posts (which are all queued up for delivery but after I screen
them). So Onyango Hatari plse just hold your horses.

I must also confess that we are yet to constitute a fool-proof mechanism
that could match online identities to physical real-life identities - that
way people would be more accountable to what they say (the recent Kenyan
judicial ruling on someone who send a defamatory SMS (text message) being
a notable legal precedent for all us)

Having said that, lets all be diplomatic, where a Diplomat has been once
defined as someone who can tell you to go to hell and you actually look
forward to taking the trip ;-) In other words, there are ways in which we
can disagree without getting (digitally) physical. Otherwise all these
online forums would lose their value that has been widely acclaimed as a
role model for multi-stakeholder, bottom-up, consultative processes.

regards,
walu.
nb: not sure why my regular jwalu at yahoo.com not working.
