This should have never happen.

The PPP has over 300 million USD, what are they saving it for. Rice farmers can repay no interst loans.

Jagdeo is only interested in the cane cutters.God only knows why. As far as the rice farmers are concerned, the PPP has abandoned them for the more valuable coca crop.

I always said they are are useless bunch. The right ppl will never get a chance to govern. But then again, it is the ppl who choose their misery or more like poison. In the end suicide.

Django, yuh know sometimes being biased dulls the reasoning senses. Biased, in dis sense doan mean prejudiced. Shallyv writes on many things, I tink he is smart. Some people doan understand wah he talking bout, but I do. He is highly intelligent but well balanced to reply/comment on any level. HIS COMMENTS ARE NOT NONSENSE, who doan know will say it is. 

Bring the man back, like today.

Do not facilitate those who thrive on insulting other posters. Please, demonstrate what is most needed in the Guyanese society, RESPECTED for all opinions.

The homophobic posts are problems ,one of the reasons he was banned the first time. The forum can be flagged as hate site. To return he will have to sign up again.

Yuh know he is provoked?

HAHAHAHAHAHA....look at dis old man tekking up fire rage fuh he man crush. LOL.

Look, from the day yuh fren Shally sign up he was cussing everyone on the forum. Day one. No one had a chance to provoke him. He was a mean spirited, nasty old bytch spewing the worst kind of vulgarity with very descriptive sex acts with men. He is clearly a nut job, so it figures you would "understand him".

I guess you also "understand" his posts referencing underage girls, not once, but he doubled down TWICE.

Reason why facebook and every other site has seen fit to ban his dutty ass.

By the way, I see you are still convinced I am your other man crush D2/Stormborn. LOL.

Iguana bro, I duz only post here. I never get ruffled up. And I have respect fuh everybody regardless of dey nasty attitudes. I really doan care if you iz D2. However, yuh is D2, yuh cannot hide yuh stripe. If you ain D2 then there muss be others dat tink yuh and him. I only read what interest me. I probably read many tings but if it doan suits meh taste, i stop reading and move on. Suh I wouldn't dwell on some ah de tings yuh claim Shallyv wrote on. The Qusetion iz, why are harbouring on it, like park there.

He provokes himself. Just because the man can ramble off biblical crap you think he's a great guy? I agree with all Iggy said above, Shally was here a lot longer than I would have allowed had I been in a position to ban his ass.

Putagee, like yuh kant tek the heat? Shallyv made the kitchen too hot.

The devil knows the scriptures too, but truth is truth no mattah whey it is coming from. Yuh think Shallyv knows more scriptures than you?

I don't give a rat's ass whether or not he knows more scripture than I he is still a vulgar person who makes assinine racial homophobic remarks.

Yuh know I never stop to read those comments. If I should stop by, the first line tells me I shouldn't be reading it. It ain something I care to subscribe to. Why yuh reading it?

As the administrator, can you expand on when a post crosses the line. For instance you mentioned homophobic posts. Lets take the use of the word “a*****n”. This is a word that is used numerous times on this site without consequence yet every Guyanese knows it is meant to insult, degrade and often to incite hate based on someone’s sexuality. This is by no means the only offensive word used freely on this site but just one example. When is the line crossed?

Thanks DG.

I understand the policies and I have seen them numerous times. However I think the question drives to the other key part of the governance equation – procedures. Its great to have policies but if you don’t have the procedures to enforce the policies they are of no use. In my view, the procedures are lacking or generally applied on an ad hoc basis. The answer may in the end be one of resources – type and quantity. Maybe you need more moderators (I certainly don’t envy your role as moderators). Maybe the other solution is software.

I don’t have the underlying data, but there is an appearance of high churn and low conversion of active members on the site. I don’t know why this is the case, but the usual suspects would be bullying, harassment, hate speech and lack of relevant discussions. If these are indeed the issues you need the proper combination of policies and procedures in place to solve the problem.

I will not mince my words, Iguana aka D2 is who you talking about. In my mind.  This chap insults ppl over three decades now, on here. He never bothered me since I first encountered him.

I had him on ignore and when he was quoted his posts showed up I ignored them. It was sheer bs with most of his posts.

Try as you may, you cannot hide what a hypocrite you are. You claim not to read all the posts, yet here you are accusing me of all sorts of nonsense. How is it that you miss the vulgar, obscene posts from your pal Shally when the same posts where he references bible verses that you oooh and ahhhh over contained vulgarity? You sir, are an old Guyanese hypocrite.

If Shally means so much to you, then invite him to the backdam where you post as Kutty Putty or some shit. He will be in good company with the bigots there and free to use the N word without censure. You can join him in its usage as you used it here too recently, the old bigot that you are.

You all are hilarious. I am Ronan, Redux, D2, Stormborn, Spugum, totaram. Prashad said I "got into" his emails. Mad man shally said I posted as him on stabroek. Either you are nuts or I possess some supernatural power. I assure you it is not the latter.

You mean you and D2 are at it for over 3 decades on this site? You ain't got nothing to do. I'll insult you at will if you behave schupid. Nothing you can do about it. You're lucky I only post here wan wan time.

When it comes to hate speech, let the record show that this site was once branded a hate site because of the behavior of INDIAN posters. Insomuch that black posters who contributed much such as Caribj left.

Black posters here were continuously referenced as a sub species who ate ants, lived in mud huts, were "hungry belly black man", "black man can't run a cake shop", and as a violent species prone to rape.

A black Guyanese woman who started computer and robotics classes for ALL Guyanese children in Guyana became the subject here of intense hate speech by one "drugb" who openly stated she was a non accomplished and unfit person to do this simply because she was black.

Yes, this is the kind of hate speech that was here from INDIAN PPP SUPPORTERS.

Those dozen or so Indian bigots now post on another site because @Django chose not to tolerate their hate speech here when he took over this site. Although @Django does seem to pine away for them as he continues to follow them and bring their trash here sometimes. Puzzling.

As far as I know, I'm the lone black poster here. There is one Rochelle who was chased away too. Another black lady appeared once and disappeared too.

This site is tantamount to a Guyanese beer garden where the hoi polloi shoot the breeze about politics and then as usual, the discussion veers off course into the personal, local, or sports. And wan wan time there is a fight.

Those who seek cyber parliament where we all address each other as mah Lord and mah Lady need to go to stabroek news forums etc. Some of the nastiest cuss downs, hate speech and homophobic crap comes out of the Guyanese parliament. Why seek to make us something even our leaders can't live up to?

So before y'all seek to issue locutions on the conduct here, get your own affairs in order in parliament, because you all are a disgrace!!!!

Yuh tink insults duz bother me?

Dat many handles? Why keep changing. Your words are the same. Yuh simply cannot hide. Like I said, if you and D2 are not the same, then there are individuals out there that have alyuh same thinking.

One of the traits of D2, he would harass posters he disagreed with until they quit the site. He was proud to say that.

Me, being here for so long is benefitting. I read other Guyanese, I hang out here like I would get together with others back home for a gyaff. It helps my luminosity. I learn things on here and I share a variety of things on here.

I am not stupid bro. I know there is a God-that is smartness beyond your comprehension.

I never shy away from my fellow Guyanese, regardless how discouraging they may be.

I just struggled with spelling "shy", I paused for a while. My thinking faculties forced a retrieval. If I were to sit and stare into space, it could get worse at my age. Suh, I love being here, it energies my energy.

Wah name yuh goan tek on next. Yuh and the gentleman from Florida are very creative wid naming alyuhselvies.

Depression is hard to recognize. Some men lash out with anger and turn to the bottle. My sympathy goes out to the family.

Bro, you are capable of the accusations. Over the years, others have levelled the same accusations. And the man posts as Velutha Kuttapen. Stop being a skont and repect the man's handle.

Caribj was shamed into leaving because of Granger efforts to steal the govrnment. He cannot accept that Black people would do that.
