While at it, should the links include those to kenya-todaya and kenya daily post or jackal news?? ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

wazua wrote:Dear Members, We have received all your comments - few appreciative, some informative, several unsavory. Yet ours is only a reaction, the causative action emanates from a few errant users. It is time to take responsibility!Rule and policies:1. Every day, one thread only Politics update for [date] will be created 2. All members will be allowed to only post links to reputable news sources with an explaining line or caption 3. Text of article should not be copied in full to the thread 4. No member may post the same link more than once 5. Post should not state personal opinions If the rules appear too restrictive, simply avoid Politics altogether. It will be critical for members to castigate those who deviate from the rules. Kindly note, should more than five members willingly violate the rules on any material day, they will have succeeded in freezing political discussions. The Wazua spiritTo educate, inform, and learn from each other irrespective of our differences. This sounds to me as half-baked freedom. Better no freedom at all than this...The last mkate-nusu we had as a country was disastrous to say the least. If you really feel we too childish to discuss issues maturely, close it completely. Now that we survived a week, we can survive another day, another week, another month, another year...Its all in the mind.

quicksand wrote:@wazua,.. You are espousing a crippled middling position that has little appeal to both sides of the divide who either want a fully vibrant political section or no politics at all. We all know where to find The Nation, The Standard, The Star, CNN, BBC and many others online (plus there are plenty of RSS feeds and other things which aggregate hot button issues).
This reminds me of the Kenya Police, who usually get a fuel allocation of 2 litres per day per vehicle for serving the citizens just so that the brass can say ..."yesss ..we are giving them fuel, what is the problem???" ..and yet common sense tells us those meagre resources can't accomplish anything.
Fungua kabisa (and take responsibilty too ..moderate!) ama funga kabisa. I am ok with either of these 2 decisions but not the one you are suggesting, that is insulting our intelligence. i feel you brother. @ admin is behaving like any other lady who is disgusted by politics. I know most ladies don't like politics, but they don't break their homes by banning other family members from discussing politics. Be, and let others be. And incase they don't have a choice. Be decisive enough, so that certainity created allows others to move forward. A thread without members sharing their views is useless in a forum. I would rather have none. Democracy does not belong to the dead

Mukiha, much know, magigi, mcreggae notice a pattern? AMBITHOLOGY - The sum total of reflex reactions triggered by a morbid fear of views, facts and news that are likely to paint one candidate in negative light, demystify any safi kama pamba claims, debunk brain-dead propaganda or otherwise see the candidate's public standing diminish. The reflex reaction maybe in the form of sudden (and glorious) opinion polls, erratic bursts of censorship, spontaneous 'anti-tribalism drives' (never mind there is nothing in the discussions that refers either directly or indirectly to the candidate's tribe), out-of-the-blue 'pursuit of societal peace and harmony' initiatives etc etc etc. All my friends are heathens, take it slow. Wait for them to ask you who you know. Please don't make any sudden moves.

You are willingly and knowingly out of line.
Political discussions for today are about to come to an end.
