Reggae festival with a twist -TISEKE PANG'ONO has dissapeared,a victim of unnecessary censorship, a sad continuation from the Apostle Ndovies saga where stories that dont appear to please JRC are removed without even letting the originators know anything.The thread was an innocent one,those who could not see the funny side were welcome to register their displeasure but alas!the powers that be felt otherwise and abused their position and personally I am not happy,it is killing the fun that we sometimes need to have,its immoral,wrong and insincere from the moderator,JRC and those that request such removals,censorship is another way of trying to control our thinking and our writings but the power of the brain and the pen has always excelled.I dont care whether I will be banned,expelled or come what may but it seems JRC is weak and cannot defend his own site,he has an appeasement policy that caters for only those that are close to him especially those in South Bend.We have had people attacked on this forum but he never intervened till after about 50/60 postings,maybe because the people who were being attacked live in the UK yet when those on that side enjoy preferential treatment,talk about hypocrisy!!!
We are all grown ups here and we deserve to be treated as such,not to be told what to say,when to say it and where to say it.Yes I/ we dont own this forum but I have always believed that the forum was established to be a meeting place for young and fresh minds,a place where ideas can be exchanged and people can unwind from their stresses but it seems I was wrong,just like in the book"ANIMAL FARM",I have learned that "all animals are equal but some are more equal than others",indeed this is true to the previledged and protected few,thanks JRC for letting us know.

censorship sometimes is a necessary evil. more especially when it is designed to protect those who can not fight backverbally or otherwise. JRC do your job and never mind Ngwazi whois is trying to prove his namesake 'the dictator' wrong.
Ngwazi is being so naive by assuming that evryone who visits this forum is grown up. WRONG: my sister who is now 15 introduced me to this site a year ago . I also know a few parents who visit this site on a regular basis.
TUTU,you are wring by taking sides,why was Dzilemekezeni by ayah not censored?Just because this one had men as victims,I presume the moderator is a man.

those pictures were posted by JRC,its either he was the photographer or he is friends to those people in the pictures.,one thing is for sure though,JRC is biased.he is a weak man who cant stand up to his own actions,such men should not run media outlets, to run a place like this you need to withstand the heat,you become a subject to all kinds of criticism because you often make controversial decisions.
i for one do respect JRC,we make friends on this forum,we learn alot through our wide range of topics and discussions,this forum to me is like a rialto.what JRC would have done was to let his friends not influence his decisions on the running of this forum.if you let your friends influence alot of your decisions next time they will tell you how many times you have to knob your woman,because they take advantage of your weak points.
please JRC have the guts to tell your friends in south bend that game says naff off.if one wants an honest opinion from the members of this forum he will put his or her pictures on the site,if they cant take criticism put the pictures in the album in their homes.i can understand if JRC put those pictures without their consent.
malawians in the UK are strong characters who dont bend at the blow of the whistle.and i know you cant ban Ngwazi for telling you to be strong man,we know you.you love controversy,and you knew what was coming,i still salute you JRC.

Tutu, you say I am naive for saying we are all adults here?dont you think you, just like JRC are being a hypocrites because we have had worse postings than the one removed?You are the one who is naive,you are running away from reality,if your sista was here before you then she has read worse postings than you can imagine,postings that she needed protecting from than the one that has been removed,those were the postings that required censorship but were not removed,talk about hypocrisy and double standards !!!!!
JRC himself gave us posting guidelines and as far as I am concerned all my postings including the one that has been removed fall within the framework of those guidelines hence my shock and anger at the way things have gone.Yes censorship is unnecessary evil but what was there in that posting that warranted removal??.Its nothing but an appeasement policy to the previledged and protected few in South Bend.This censorship started with the Apostle Ndovie story and it has reared its ugly head again here but what can we do,we can shout as much as we want,we can scream as loud as we want,we can wail till our voices are hoarse but he owns this forum,its his baby and he can manipulate and control it at the whim of his friends,he has the powers and power corrupts.
