I open my private message and this is what I find from Sibweni.
Now in the interest of transparency I have copied it for all to see...
From: sibweni Subject:
abre am not trying to defend myself but this is going to far for my liking. i dont hate you rather i like what you write even if i donot agree with it. i dont know your speciality or what you do thus why even if you miss a technical point in your writing i will ask rather than trash you sarcastically.
for your info iam a trained pharmacist and a soldier. i keep quiet when you diss out some guys who indeed i know are well trained in their fields and technically on subjects you clearly have no idea about.
i would appreciate if you can come up with really good criticism than name calling like slut.
otherwise enjoy your time on malawiana as you seem to spend your time on it.

Can you switch to another lingo, I can't get what you are trying to say. Am not trying to say that your english/chichewa is not straight but try to compose it in a different way.
Abre, at least he sent you a pvt msg and didint try and trash talk you in public over the issues that he had with you... I see your need for tranperencey but... we really, really, didint need to see this !

Sometimes i sit and wonder why people hate other peoples opinion, but one thing we have to take into consideration is everyone has a right to say what he likes others who agree arent neccesarilly backing but they see a point in whatever somebody is saying.
Its a good thing to notice that Newbies who were just reading the posts get so irritated and come with imflamatory posts and then dissapear into obvlion, get me right on this WHATS THE POINT OF JOINING JUST TO SHOW US YOU HAVE THE BEST SWEAR WORDS AND NO SENSE IN WATEVER NONSENSE YOU WRITE?
I for one cannot just come in and post these senseless posts from KIA and MZANGA you have your own rights but your posts suck.

I'll rather "thrashed" in public than sent a mediocre private message. I have a feeling he was a tad insecure about doing it knowing that it couldn't or wouldn't stand public scrutiny.

it was simply a 'private' message,and you abre couldnt grasp the word'private'.in your small 'mr know it all'world private means public.

You see, I've never insulted anyone in private. The topic was in the open - why would he insult me about it in private. We're all anonymous here - won't make the least nit of difference if he did. It irritated me that much that I had to show how cowardly he is by virtue of my transparency.
The answer to your question is yes. It was necessary.
I hear you, although i must disagree on the issue of anonymity. The message may well contain personally identifiable information. For one thing, Malawians with that particular blend of expertise are far & wide. Of course Malawians now serve armed forces the world over, but you never know. I've been able to positively identify a few forum members by piecing much weaker clues together.

What they say about those who live in glass houses again? Well, I don't know about you, but I'll rather be insulted in public than in private. If someone takes offence to something I said in public then best he challenges it likewise. People on this forum send messages to each other all the time privately. In fact someone once sent a message about me to me by mistake. I never said anything, never posted it publicly - the member has since disappeared - probably has a new name now.
This post is particularly revolting in its cowardice...
the message was private and indeed sluty style he has made it public claiming being insulted.
i did send him that message privately as i saw him going personal. i dont regret it and i want take offence with the way he has reacted infact i like it as it has shown what a jerk he is.
I think I've made my point. However unpopular. Probably teach you lot from sending me ludicrous messages in private. I WILL put them up. Wanna know why?

Abre,
No matter how much you try to potray this or how stubborn you want to be,the fact still remains that it was a private message specifically for you and not for public consumption.Yes its true that you can put any message that is sent to you in private(because you can indeed!!)but that does not mean that you are or will be right by doing so.You may think everyone is against you but sometimes it does not cost much to accept that you made a mistake.
This was a private note and thus it should have remained.

You mistake private for secret. I personally won't post something to someone I don't know privately that I can't post publicly. I guess it's just the kind of person I am.
I'm glad everyone is defending him. You know how much I like being the lone ranger. It feeds my already bursting-by-the-seams ego. I wonder why he was so ashamed about his not-so-enlightened opinion he had to send it to me privately.
That would learn any of you people from sending me private posts without knowing me on a personal level. I will put it up for all to see.
PS Ngwazi. This has nothing to do with right or wrong. it's just a preference.

Yeah,agree it is your preference indeed.Even kudya manyi is also a preference for some people though its not the normal behaviour but they do it because they too can!!(just like you can bring private messages onto a public forum!!).
It has nothing to do with right or wrong too,its just their preference!!
