Yes , the Ribandar issue is become a boring putrid piece of flesh....a real eyesore on the goanet. It is fine that someone feels expresses what one feels is the truth. However, to drag it on often with the same paragraphs....trying to scrounge for public support...is not a sign of maturity. Let justice be sought in the court of law, since a case has already been filed. M.
