Morning Comrades Comrade Dominic and Floyd your difference should not at all come and affect as if we there when you started do differ with views..Why I am saying so is that somebody can sense and feel the heat between the two. But I am just curious to then extend that Dominic end up saying 'sies' on the other fellow. We are not in this forum to massage sumother people's verbal diarrhea. Other people might look up to the people like Dominic in line with clarity they provide and on significant issues. But coming here and swear to other people and thinking that its Journalist right then we turn to differ as well. I wonder if you wrote then read after because it seems you just write and press the send button without even checking how matured and old are you.
I smell a rat and the fat from this comrade fellow(Dominic).It's not a journalist's right to write 'sies' in this forum. And if then those people they think have rights who do they are because they just individuals who are earning through other people's strengths and efforts. I am so disappointed in you Dominic and I hope one you will right and read and consider other people's feelings and respect them. I remain. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dominic Tweedie Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 10:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [YCLSA Discussion] Why is Floyd Shivambu digging for dirt on journos?
