Dear Members, Today @kiterunner initiated an innocent thread on a public personality as often happens on Wazua. Granted, the issues raised were controversial, but the thread quickly took a nasty turn.
We received a formal complaint about the inuendos and slanderous claims that cast aspersions on individual, family, friends, employees, and business colleagues.
Now we encourage free expression on Wazua, but always within our stated Rules and Guidelines. - Is there no way of speaking about public personalities without flagrant insult? - Would any of us muster such words spoken about our persona? - Does this represent the true Wazua spirit?
Members, we must find a middle ground. If none exists, Wazua will be better off if all such discussions were banished. Because small minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, and the great minds of Wazuans surely lie in discussing ideas to create wealth.
The Wazua spirit

I have always suspected that if wazua were to publish their results, Income from other sources would represent a huge percentage of their income!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

I guess we are not supposed to mention Chris Kirubi in this forum!!! Oops!!! I mentioned Chris Kirubi. @guka, if I mention Chris Kirubi and I want to delete the name Chris Kirubi because we are not supposed to mention the name Chris Kirubi how do I delete the name Chris Kirubi?

Hapa iko maneno. Even a thread stating the thread was usered is also usered??? Back to what I was saying, but now with even more evidence. If wazua were to publish their results, " Income from other sources" would be phenomenal? What do you think @guka? Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Silently read through too... Okay @kiterunner hypothesis was quite far out there...
Good one @For Sport; the trouble is these posts are made anonymously, but you can always hunt Admin down. Posts about news presenters always take the same turn.
THEN AGAIN in school I was taught morality extends to more than just nude pictures, and sadly often personal attacks behind screen names can also be viewed as malicious and cowardly. In fact, that's why Michael Joseph was quoted as saying he detests social media.

Point taken, Wazua Admin. Perhaps Kiterunner should have first defined the qualities of a hero, particularly a national hero. This is for me not a trivial matter because as a nation, we need to decide what we collectively aspire to be, who our children should look up to as role models.

what is all these about? I haven't read the post about Chris but I think people should call people who they actually are, if you think I am a fraud call me a fraud and if I think you're an idiot I should be able to call you an idiot, what is the problem with that?

I also dislike personal attacks esp. when made from the comfort of one's home / office / comp / phone. But can we then accord every person discussed similar treatment - irrespective of whether they are kirubi or lillian muli or the chief justice.

You're allowed to call anyone almost anything provided you can prove its true. 10k?
