Every thread is being hijacked into some contest of some sort, its understandable that over the years wazuans have aligned themselves based on tribal, political, religious or social affiliations, but turning every thread into an opportunity to lash at your opponents is becoming too much. Case in point, the 'Gado today' thread, 'African Proverbs.. thread. How about you start a thread specifically to lash at whoever you think deserves the lashing? some people would want to stick to the subject and take in a few jokes on the side but not every thread degenerating into some contest irrelevant to the subject.

Sure CLK, this is happening in almost all threads that attract more than 10 posts. i guess the use of too much coded language is not helping either as it leaves wazuans second guessing the meanings.

By the way 'kutafutana' provides comic relief esp if 3/4 of threads are about politics. What to do? sit and enjoy.

But you are also guilty right? I have seen posts ( atleast by myself) where you have misquoted me or sought to advance your own goggles- case in point,thread on Kethi Kilonzo and thread on Abdul Haji. So before you start a thread to lecture the republic( we rarely take those),think about your contributions as well. Ni hayo tuu. I am happy

Ni hayo tuu. @Amores, you seriously need to forgive me on the Kethi issue, you totally misunderstood me and i accepted and moved on, but now you bringing it up in every other thread i comment is doing exactly what am talking about. Please also note my sentiments on the Abdul Haji thread are relevant to that particular thread. Please see @Lolest post above.

Do tell. The reason i used the word boring, expressing how i feel about it not necessarily wanting a perfect wazua community

So you cant just hop on moral high horse( after all your posts) and expect some of us to applaud,I am just calling you out on this one. Mimi sijakubeba,i just didnt want to make any sweeping statements-I was backing up my sentiments with examples. I am happy

Just incase you hadnt noticed, i moved on and ignored the thread, so this is the last time am responding to you on this subject, ungekuwa mwanamke am sure you would be the nagging type, the kind that reminds the hubby a mistake made 20 yrs ago, everytime something goes wrong NKT!! This particular thread was not meant to ask people not to throw matusi at each other or debate, just the thread hijacking that is pissing me in particular.
