It is important that we look at the big picture and address the real problem of the suicide epidemic which mainly affects Indo Guyanese.
One fact that I noticed though is that Baseman's REAL name was drawn into this argument while others DO NOT use real names. Sadly, his father's name was also drawn into this argument.
Enough is enough and it is time draw a truce and stop this argument about suicide in Guyana after all, the almighty knows the truth as to who actually does and who actually pretends to do work for the betterment of Guyanese.

I often follow when a comment is made about me. It was only when my first name was used by Baseman, that I follow with his first name.
I know much about Baseman and his family, yet he comes here and say he don't know me. Even if the don't know me or about our work internationally, he has much to say about knocking it down.
Regarding his father, his name was never used and the story was a prank. Based on a photo that Fr. Darke took of me and Dr. P. Reid during my scouting days and I was told Dr. Reid and his father were friends. Yet Baseman knew the story was not true, but he went on a long description about his father, that was not previously know.
Now for the positive : I believe many on GNI have skills and talents to do much non-racial good in Guyana, yet we don't take this opportunity.
Instead of knocking down the house that Warrior and his group built, we should have made comments to improve the next house. Negativism can discourage people from doing more for the needy.
With some hiccup, GNI posters assisted others in the past and I strongly believe GNI can be used for successful projects to help the people in Guyana.
Therefore, I propose that we form a GNI DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION. Where members will be elected for appropriate positions to help the people in Guyana in a NON-RACIAL manner. I also propose that elected members pay their own expenses to and in Guyana and all funds raised will be used only for the projects. I will make the first donation and since I make donations anonymously, only the person receiving my donation and the executive will know the amount, in confidence. .
What do you say. Do we continue to destroy each other on GNI, or do we use our collective energy to make a difference in Guyana ?
