ras marcus, the sad thing is that you talk as if you are above your own critiques. All you do is talk about what OTHERS need to do. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? And don't give me no mess about "the community". This forum is a community and there are no cameras and tape recorders following ones around monitoring what they do outside of this forum. There is no hierarchy here that posits one higher because of anything other than honest reasoning.

Why do you not start with yourself FIRST...and then those close to you SECOND, such as your apprentice/protege.

You have had plenty of opportunity to subdue him. But instead, he is unleashed and encouraged to continue his buffoonery by his idol worship of you. Where he gets it from is absolutely no mystery at all.

All your talk about sweet words and burying hatchets and blah blah blah is nothing but hypocrisy if you do not address the comments you made to me. But of course you won't. You are too pompous and infallible in your BABA role/title.

And yes I am saying that in front of this international reasoning forum with Afrikan dignitaries and the like.

Your puppet selassielive makes a good point which actually exposes you:

*******Many times, people who like to insult others are covering up their insecurities.*******

And here are some comments from you:

******are you overeducated*******
******time to get a degree in self respect*******

obviously you have insecurities about education, don't you?

Now lets see your sweet, loving, kind, brotherly words in action. Lets see your forgiving response to me now. Lets see you bury the hatchet and plant flowers in your speak.

I eagerly await.
