...The fact that SK deletes topics with ethnic inclinations dies not solve the issue of tribalism. It is better to let people say what they want to say now so that they will have nothing to say in future. Curtaling the freedom of speech is postponing a problem. Anyway,I am a Kenyan and I am a member.....

@ magigi,

Your reasoning is flawed

There are websites that cater for tribal posts or politics. I believe this website is business themed,just like envisioned by it's owners when they were implementing it. Try Mashada

Yeah Mashada fits that vitroil,why infect others with ua tribalism?

I believe sometimes it's only fair to express ourselves where and when we're allowed to,and not anywhere we wish to. SK is more of an investment site,than a social one(or so was its initial motive) It's polite to take our tribal vibe(positive/negative) elsewhere where its tolerated,than to force it down Sk admins' 'throat'. I know of several websites out there where guys express themselves in their mother tongue and even speak badly and openly of other tribes without a care in the world...but at SK,guys heshimiana,and thats how it should remain.

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't..

I do not belong to Magigi's school of though but what really pains me is that they 'nyoa' even investment threads.

I remember writting warning guys on the imminent collapse of discount securities and why such people behind the suffering ordinary investors should be hanged. It was removed as soon as it hit the screen.

SK,you cannot be sued on facts and that is the law.

A blanket ban on ethnic leaning topics will not serve the intended purpose,it effectively blocks the good opinions alongside the bad one's.

Its a lazy outdated tactic previously used by racists in times gone and widely adopted by idiots like Moi and other African despots in the pretext of maintaining peace.

I would urge SK admin to ban/gag specific posters whose language is offensive but allow members to explore all discusion topics.

After all,we come from different communities and we are all proud of whichever community we come from regardless of its perceived short comings in the eyes of others.


I've noticed the youth in particular coming in to a workplace with a completely outsized notion of their own value and importance... just a thinly-veiled arrogance. May be the credit crunch induced recession is whats needed to remind us all about the value of hard work.... By Anonymous

@Obi

You have a point if only we were that disciplined to leave it at responsible comments. Unfortunately,from what has been posted before,you know where those threads lead to... they get too personal and the comments too nasty for any ones good. Once you allow few comments,it goes all the way... so,let the tribal talks be left where they belong... at least if anyone needs to vent out,they can always visit other sites... this is one of the few sober sites in kenya where someone can surf and find peace.... we cant afford to allow those nonsensical tribal sentiments regardless of how 'proud' we are to be from whichever tribe... I think we also need to realise that there are those of us who come from mixed tribes and it makes no sense to side with either. This site should be left for 'kenyans' when we visit mashada,we can be whatever we want.... but lets have some solace in SK that we can talk as kenyans!

Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

They hav to be deleted for the sake of the visitors to this site and not the veterans. There's something called dignity.

I also am worried about the arbitrary censorship - I recently made a post enquiring if anyone had encountered incidents of counterfeit parts,citing my own experiences and not giving the name of the auto dealer (ergo not needlessly exposing anyone to a lawsuit) - so why did that disappear? or does some SK admin import such spares?

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

I wouldn't care much if I came on a site and so tribalists,racists and child molestors posting.

If those are the rules of the forum,so be it. However,I come to sk to learn. If I wanted to know about your tribe,I would do better listening to my parents,my neighbours and the local pub bum.

It is the choice of sk admins where they want to lead their members. If they accept tribal rants,then I will leave and go somewhere else.

I know of at least one Kenyan website that used to have some serious conversations until they allowed a bunch of braggarts and nostalgic tribalists amongst them. Right now as we speak it only has 5 and I mean 5 posters on it as everyone else even their supporters got tired of the type of nonsence that Magigi calls 'being proud of your heritage'.

So sk admins,its your choice. You either allow this site to become one where people learn or let everyone with a chip on their shoulders post their nonsence. Either way,I will make my choice too.

Tribalism..... what do you say to this. Type 'Kenya' in your comp dictionary.

This is what i got.

Kenya |'keny?; 'keny?|
a country in East Africa,on the Indian Ocean; pop. 32,021,000; capital,Nairobi; languages,Swahili (official),English (official),and Kikuyu..
Populated largely by Bantu-speaking peoples,Kenya became a British Crown Colony in 1920. The demands made on land by European settlers led to the Mau Mau rebellion of the 1950s. Kenya became an independent state within the Commonwealth of Nations in 1963,and a republic was established the following year.
