Its good to see you toning down. You were much too hyper in the early days of this tragedy. It’s your blog I know but counting backwards from 10 never hurt. Perhaps a lesson to carry in you professional life? Never show your hand too soon. It’s a discipline that has not let down many in public life.

Good luck,

A fan, by the way!

Hey Ory,

I have an otherwise rational boyfriend who admitted to posting flame s on Mashada just to get people riled up. That was pre-elections, but I am looking at him with great suspicion nowadays, cause I do not know what he is putting out there. He is one of many many Kenyans who is in a multi-tribal relationship too, so I do not know where we will live after this diaspora story ends and we get back to the KE.

amen to that ..people should blog responsibly bearing in mind that whatever they say will most likely influence or annoy the hell outta someone else.
bottom line for me is this: kenya ni yetu sote and we should all do our bit in bringing peace be it:donations,volunteering or even prayer and not forgeting Blog for peace

I have been telling David since last year that some moderation was needed after all the stuff people started posting before the elections. Mashada is just not read by Kenyans outside the country but also in Kenya.
Before the elections there was talk on Mashada about people killing a certain tribe and i felt that this was harmful. I think its a good idea to close down the website for sometime till tensions cool down and after that we can continue.

It is very ossible to contain hate speech. Look at Kenya Imagine for an example. They have a couple of editors/moderators, who indeed manage to keep the site civilized.
