Adieu.

[Dr. Bitrus Gwamna]

Dear Colleagues:  I have come to the conclusion that my membership in this forum is no longer tenable, as I am unable to disabuse the minds of members that I am not fraudulent. I cannot deny who and what I am, neither can I deny the relationships that I have forged so as to belong.  For this reason, I am unsubscribing myself from the forum, hoping that by this decision you now can focus on issues that would advance the cause of this forum.  Anyone with a fraudulent mind seeking a kindred spirit could reach me via email, bgw...@gmail.com.     So adieu.

Bitrus

Great one:

You need to reconsider,

If you read all the  post, there is no such consensus as you summarized

Dear sir: 

if you cumulate the views, there is no consensus.

Rather, you find dissenting voices.

The clear outcome is:

Rebrand by adding more members

Relabel 

Register the Association and create a website 

There is no need to pull out of a forum

Hello Bitrus -

Signing out of the listserv may not give you the needed ammunition to convince your accusers of your innocence. In war situations, you don't turn your back at the opposing side; you face them and fight it out. Besides, the Yoruba often say "If you elect to close your eyes so that you don't see bad people pass by, by the time you open your eyes, alas, many good people may have passed by as well." Don't forget those who vehemently defended your position or those yet to be convinced either way are also here; you don't want to leave them behind. 

My point? Rethink!

Michael

Bitrus,
Your assessment of the situation is wrong and if that is the only reason why you want to leave, then, you do not have a good reason.

CAO.

I considered leaving too and then reconsidered so as not to give the gang of four the pleasure of determining where I belong. Please reconsider.
