I know this is a violation of Usenet protocol but I just can't resist
it. Every now and again I like to browse through s.c.a. (despite being
the spawn of unscrupulous, imperialistic, European plunderers I do have
an interest in the continent of my birth). 

It's been a while since I looked here but I was astounded to see the 
volume of pure nonsense, vitriol, nutty racial theories, weird pseudo-
nationalism, bigotry, homophobia, misogyny (that's woman hatred - for
you Malaka), phoney philosophy and crass, gross ignorance produced by
only two people - Malaka and Kauta. 

It's like "Son of Winslow Sargeant" and "Bride of Winslow Sargeant". BTW
what ever happened to W.S.? My first reaction is to grab the old flame-
thrower and light up. But no... on second thought it's just a waste of
napalm. No amount of flaming ever made anyone change for the better.

It's really quite entertaining anyway in a nauseating kind of way 
- maybe they're both just conducting an experiment to see whether it's 
possible to drive someone insane over the Internet. Interesting theory, I 
wish it were so - more likely they'rejust a pair of puerile undergrads 
with too much time on their hands. 

Try to understand this, chappies - there are REAL PEOPLE at the other end 
of your terminal with a genuine interest in African affairs/culture. Words 
don't just appear magically in response to the garbage you spout. Most people
interact on s.c.a. because they want to share information and hold 
discussions not so they can be verbally abused and blasted with your crazy
ideas. 

Or, if you're trying to piss people off for the pure thrill of it - you've 
succeeded. You've really struck a palpable hit for whatever whacko cause 
you espouse (some kind of fuzzy, patriarchal, egalitarian, militaristic,
utopian, homophobic, xenophobic, pan-African nationalism it seems - note the 
contradictions)    .

On the other hand, if you're trying to scare people off - that won't work 
either - you see lads:  in its death throes,the decadent, pus-oozing,
imperialistic, running-dog, western so-called civilization developed a thing
called a "kill file". I am going to put both of you into mine as soon as I
can work out how to use it. That way you can rant all you want and I won't
even have to be tempted to read any of it. I won't even know you exist
and you know what - I WON'T EVEN CARE.
 
You see, in spite of what you say about not caring what the imperialist, 
exploitative, racist scum think I believe that deep down you are crying out 
for attention - why else would you spend so much time and energy posting all
that stuff.

Finally a call to reason - I'm sure there are people who do actually want
to discuss topics of genuine interest. How about it? There are some real
problems facing Africa and many of us could try to offer constructive
opinions   instead of the vicious ad hominem attacks and "my race is 
better than yours" arguments to which this newsgroup seems prone.
