No need of comments from JRC, despite this boy being rude and sarcastic, I feel if it is true its being undemocratic for the new Mode to bring in such uncalled of behaviours of hate.We expect a moderator to be just and free of double standards.Let views flow from all corners and we shall not sit phwiii to see the Dumbos demonstrating their savaageness here.

Games of hatred will cripple the forum and deny us our freedom of association.The other factor to note here is the coming of Game and the oppression of Bend has coincided, watch out and avoid being used.

At least leat us have word from the new "sheriff" or JRC himself i think we are owed an explanation. Waiting..........

Be careful "good" pple, there is a new moderator, who took over from JRC and his first task on his agenda (if he has any agenda) was to ban me from this forum. He has blocked my home IP address, but what this fool didnt know is that he can only slow me, but he cannot prevent me from having access to this forum. I have the wherewithal.

At first I wanted to call it quit (I can do without this place), but I later thought that will leave me a victim of oppression (That will give power to the oppressor). In this modern times, I dont expected anybody to be downtrodden without cause or proper reason. We supposed to live in free society. I have checked the guide lines of this forum, but I dont see any breach on my part.

I wonder whats the job description of the new moderator. Did JRC set the philosophy of Baron de Montesquieau? (Checks and balances, or the separation of powers). Without that, am afraid, we're just promoting "witch hunting" and a dictator. My source told me, the new moderator is based in UK, so there is pretty good chance that he might be somebody I have crossed path on this forum. The problem of having concealed moderator will only encourage abuse of power.

To you the new modetor, by banning my home IP address, your are preventing my kids access to some computer games. Theyre just innocent kids who gat nothing to do with your frustrated ass. You should learn to tolerate other pple idealogies, otherwise let others handle this job. Ukafuna kundilimbitsila moyo, ndikulimbitsilanso moyo wako.

Izi ndi zomwe a Bingu aku mayuza army to "oppress" the opposition, making UDF more popular. Am sure most malawians dont want Bakili back in the government.

For now, the only person who can ban me from this forum is JRC. And if you decide to remove this posting, I will have another one waiting for your ass, when you wake up - Thanks to time difference between UK and US. The best thing for you is to remove your eye lids, so you dont go to sleep.

True Bingiza, JRC owes us an explanation. Next time it will be you and me ndiye tikonzeretu before things get worse. There must be something behind zomwe ife sitikudziwa. Ngati Firstbendman ali okula mtima, sizikugwirizana ndi kupanga block his home IP address. Try something else not that.

Hey, I dont think 1st bendman has done something very wrong punishable by blocking his IP address. May be its something he can sort it out on his own. Osamangolira zilizonse. Check yourself man you are a man, once again control your temper other than keeping the mind of vengeance

firstbendman · Senior Member

Thanks everybody for showing support and condemning the barbaric behaviour of the new moderator of this forum. I believe lero ndi ine mawa ndi inu. Up to now, my IP address is still blocked and my only concern was my kids access to computer games. But since there is always a solution to every problem, I have worked out it out.

I have seen that alot of you guys had the chance to express your opinion about me. I have learnt how you pple feel about my character. While I appriciate your analysis of me, the only closest depicted character was being sarcastic and probablely vengeance. Yes, I believe in an "eye for an eye" or principle of retributive justice ("law of retaliation"), but I try to void being the aggressor. Of course, most of the times my sarcasism has been mistaken for aggressiveness. I cant control my sarcasm -- sorry.

For the other characters, thats your opinions (I have no control). But this is how I feel about myself from your input:

Temper: Thats the least of my character. It takes me awhile to lose my temper. Since I joined this forum I lost my temper once - Rasta Game insulted my parents, but I got even him.

Kukula mtima/rude: I dont hide my feels and I tell pple what they dont want to hear. A lot of pple live fake or "simulated" life, so I dont know how to please those type of pple. Am not good at protocol anyway. I once told one dude kuti akunukha nkamwa - He was mad at me. Meeting him today, he is always chewing gum.

Hard nut to crack: Probably I am. What am pretty sure is I dont get intimidated easily. I "fight" to the end. Sometimes I fight to express my dissatisfaction

Next time try to be examplary and patient. You are a father and a role model to your kids. I did not like your input in the thread " there is hope in the horizons". You were too loud.

'Bendman,

I wanted to keep out of this but the more you talk about your kids being denied access to the computer games because of what you perceive to be the "new moderator" act of blocking your home IP address the more I feel I need to set the record straight as I am a father myself.

I am the other moderator,yes the "new moderator", and I have been in this role since November last year and though JRC gave me all the powers necessary to do my job efficiently and effectively,I have never used them to block anyones IP address let alone yours.I have no reason to do so and I am surprised and dissapointed with the language you have used all throughout your postings on this matter because for starters you dont have the proof that this so called new moderator has blocked your IP address,you are talking out of ignorance and putting the blame on someone who has done nothing at all.If I may ask you why do you think your IP address has been blocked?If your answer to this is that you dont know then surely it also applies to me,I cant block anyones IP address without a proper reason and as far as I am concerned and I swear that on my daughters life,I have not blocked your IP address or anyones now or since I became a moderator.

If at all I was very vengeful and wanted to block someones IP address,then I could have done that with raz na piza when he threatened to reveal my real id,actually I could have deleted his account as JRC gave me those powers as well but no,I did not because I felt and feel that I am capable of defending my thinking and my corner very well without using my position,without abusing the position and trust that JRC entrusted on me,I am a believer of free speech and intellectual thinking and would not want to suppress someones thinking just because I dont want or like the person.Indeed if at all I wanted to be spiteful,I could have done that with Dada Ngwazi when he joined the forum because I felt his name was too close to mine to be trusted but nay,I wrote to him in private and we dealt with the issue as adults and agreed to disagree.Little did he know that l had the powers to change his name without even asking him or JRC but I did not want to abuse my powers,I did not want to prove anything despite being in a position to deal with the issue as I saw fit and that is why today we still have Dada Ngwazi on this forum,so why should I do that to you as if you have done anything wrong to me or anyone?

All I can say is that it is easier to blame the "new kid" as people always feel that their misfortunes are happening because of that new kid.People get so used to their comfort zones that whenever something happens they tend to look for a scapegoat.Instead of apportioning blame to those that are trully innocent,please do your own soul searching and fault finding,you might have installed new anti-virus software on your computer that blocks all sites that requires log in or you might have changed your settings and removed this site from your trusted zones,check your PC man and please dont rush into blaming others and avoid using language that is inflammatory especially when you have no evidence,it is counter productive!

I would have loved JRC to be the one to tell the forum that I am the other moderator but when issues like this especially when they bring in kids into the equation seem to verge on the personal,it becomes far much more important to set the record straight,I would not want my kids to suffer or be denied the chance to play their favourite games and that is the standard I would expect every parent to have and therefore I cant and will not cause any parent to go through that,in short I did not and neither did JRC ban your IP address because even now the option to ban your IP is still on,it is still there.If your IP address was banned then it could have been telling me to unban IP address and not what it is saying now.Thank you

What's done is done, but I would have preferred you retained your anonymity as co-moderator. I hope this won't affect your ability to carry out your duties, and your participation in discussions as Ngwazi. It would be a pity for either to suffer.

I would have loved to continue being anonymous,for a good two days I resisted the temptation of saying something but Firstbendman continued talking about his kids being denied access to the games on this site and as a parent that touched my heart and I felt I needed to absolve myself from this blame.

I also do hope that my coming out wont affect my contributions as a member which I value so much but I hope to continue on the path I have always been,on the moderator part I know I wont be constrained much because JRC told me exactly what he wants me to do.All I can say is that people are free to discuss anything without fear,we are all adults here and therefore much is self regulating,the moderators duty is just to make sure that sanity still prevails despite heated debate and arguments.

Ngwazi,
My bad. I believe what youre saying, but I had all the reasons also to believe my IP address was blocked. (am still failing to login from my home computer as of now). Actually what happened was, l login for few minutes and logged out because I had to attend to other stuff. When I login again after 5 mins, I started getting messages like: your account or cookie is unabled (something like that). I tried to login using my kids account, it was the same thing.

When I tried to inquire further, my sources told me there was a new sheriff in town, based in UK. And the rest is on here.....

I apologise for my tone and I hope you took it into consideration (when you were accepting this post) the hassles, which comes with the "public office". I congratulation you for your new position, though. I can't reckon anybody else for this position other than yourself. I'm still failing to figure out what happened with my account, because all other accounts and programs are running good on my computer. Since I was only thinking of one possible cause, I will look into other causes/possiblities.

Ndiye ukuwuza mwanatu. And what do you mean by "we". Those are your personal wishes, Rasta Benson. Do you not embed your personal idealogies, anger, hate, failures, intolerance, prejudice, resentments, tribulations etc in other pple's mind/life.

This is what I mean, when I say, you dont know what you need in life (or simplely, youre dull): Here, youre trying to convince Ngwazi to "pushing" me and the only "pest control" I can fig out is banishment me from this furum. Exactly 1hr 27 min, you come up with this statement (open letter to Ngwazi):

    ........so for you great powers comes great responsibility,you have to brace yourself people will take shots at you, its called freedom of speech,do not barnish anyone who have different opinions to you as that will be defined as oppression.and you dont want to be called a dictator unless deep in you, you are.........

Sure there are different points of view and very, very rarely totally contradictory ones.......What are you trying to achieve? Whats your motive? Any hidden agendas? Definately, you will be the first to point fingers at Ngwazi m'tsogolo. Mpando ndi wonona uwu (ndimadziwa kuti mumawufuna zedi - am pretty sure you were shocked mutava kuti atenga ena.)

Lastly receive my facefelt congratulations for the Mode job.To most of us we reegard you as a noble leader,a rare breed amongst malawianas,a man of all seasons.I dont see your new position having problems with your membership,but I would advise you to find another alias.

Ngwazi,
Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on your post as a moderator.Just be strong and wish you all the best in your endeavours.CONGRATULATIONS!!

Secondly, I wanna comment on 'the agreement to disagree issue' for the change of my alias referred in your above posting. I thought we both asked JRC by writing to intervene but myself never got a reply. May be, you got it (of which now I believe since u broke the good news) but didn't come back to me. Its painful though for me to hear from you two months later publicly saying "..WE AGREED TO DISAGREE..."

Ngwazi Kamuzu Banda himself was known to be a tyrannical leader but accepted pple in his country Malawi to be called after his name "Kamuzu" and it wasn't even his alias at all. I remember someone my schoolmate "kamuzu" and his lastname was Banda itself. On this same forum we have "mr president" and "president," what a coincidence!!

It wasnt like a calculated move to misinform this forum (you read what transpired). Sh*** happens, thats why I did not shilly-shally but apologise. I dont think further apologies are necessary at this time. Look at the positive side this blooper has brought - youre able to know the "new sheriff".

I doubt if you guys looked foolish. Your inputs on this issue has given Ngwazi some guide lines ("terms of reference") on how you want him to run the show. Unless you have changed your minds because you know the real moderator now - Paja a malawi mumayang'ana kaye nkhope.

Let it be known that there is no banned IP for this forum and it has been like that for a long period now.

Please be kind to each other and that includes moderators. Their job is not to be against any of us but to ensure smooth running of this forum by making sure that we continue to demostrate our wisdom as human beings who think rationally by respecting other peoples views, through discussions that are done in a civilized manner.
