The rest of the list might be wrong in your eyes. However please please accept that the list has also been wronged and hood winked for quite some time. The more you labour on on issue which the perpetrator has confessed to you are very quickly reducing our efforts to forgive and move on.
As someone has pointed out earlier we have the general community and about 4 members on this list. when i look at the posting it was 4 email addresses (kind of not sure how many individuals ) discussing the issue on behalf of DCA and the rest of the community either taking a neutral position or taking the other side.
I once again repeat it is time to call it a day and join the masses and see how we build our future .africa on the continent with our community and governments.
Our trust and credibility in DCA has been badly dented and you need to rebuild that. All other listers might not be perfect myself included but at least our integrity and intent when it comes to list etiquette is clear. Agree at times the language seems to be harsh but not all have the patience needed to handle the unique situation we have here.
I think you and Gideon should accept this position and join the apology on behalf of your organizational leader. In other corporate governance scenarios this would call for the executive director to resign the position but if i suggested that one could say I'm on a which hunt so I'm not suggesting here just saying that other credible organizations do just that.

Hello Gideon et al
Please leave those who potray negativity in this List alone since they like High Class gossips.. Save ur energy and time for important things.
Do not be like a sheep just following....it is good to have ur own Stand since you are not a beneficiary of anything for free - just do what you deem good.
Supporting DCA Trust to me is the best thing since the Trust is standing on its feet with little interfrence from those who pay bills..
Cheers

Dear Badru, I am not intending to set us back, but somethings have to be stated for the record and here is mine.
For someone that works with Ms. Bekele on a daily basis, I will vouch for her integrity and leadership and character, and I see no wrongdoing.
Having said that, I also know that she has complained of not being able to post using her email on AfriICANN for a long time and being blocked. That was also obvious from the email Adiel has sent. What it states is that her name was not subscribed. and Nii is trying to legitimize the blocking by saying she did not know how to use email? how ridiculous is that. If you people are not psyched to the possibility of blocking people on this list, why is Dr Eberhard W Lisse proposing that she should be blocked again? Is this not enough evidence how your members who are anti DCA behave? If she used an alias to post, I see no problem with it at all. The content of her message is neither false nor with an intent to deceive anyone or cause mischief or unwarranted attack in anyone. You have said she is not member of your community, so why should she announce when she is coming in. I do not know most of the people posting on this list. Therefore, if I have understood her apology, she gave the list one out of good faith and I believe it has nothing to do with deceit or lies you want to taint her with.
BTW, Dr Eberhard W Lisse,your sockpuppy legal threat in US Federal Court is meaningless, but you seem to bring it up too many times, unless you are entertaining us. Ms Bekele's communication on this list brought no damage to anyone nor does it even carry false or misleading information. If you have a case on Bekele or DCA then please bring it on. Otherwise, you can save your legal opinion to any one you fool.
I belong to many mailing lists and many do not know who I am and I contribute and debate and no one has asked me what I do or who I am affiliated with. If the truth be told, even on this issue, I have not heard from anyone on this list except those who are defending their support to an alternate .africa and you want to be taken seriously about lies and false identity and at the courts too? If you want an "exclusive list" of TLD membership on this list, then set up subscription rules for eg. on Kicktnet, one needs personal referral before you join, so less having a clear understanding or contract with your subscribers, I call everything else you are saying and doing pure harassment, name calling, witch hunting and bluffing.
Who are you for eg. to dictate to Adiel, CEO of AfriNic to remove IDs or not from the list, based on your own presentation of argument or someone's behavior, while he did not remove you when people petitioned your removal on your own behavior. What will be the categories you will choose to block a person, irritating, obnoxious, hate mail, competition, and what you perceive as lies and deceitfulness? Can DCA also be allowed a list, how about nepotism, cronyism, abuse of office, and influence-peddling, even clueless Africans - remember that?
Well, you might as well block me since I have also exercised my right to speak contrary to you argument, The only reason they tolerated you on this list or even brought you in is to get your endorsement and to keep it, and so you did. Spying on your opponent’s headers and calling them liars is no expertise or honesty. He who is without any sin should cast the first stone.
That is all I have to say for now.

Adiel,
please remove, at the very least, the false online identity
lerato.ma at yahoo.com<mailto:lerato.ma at yahoo.com> from the list, but preferably also Ms Bekele's
real address. She has, as you have seen, admitted to using this
false online identity on this list.
But as far as content goes, the below puts her allegation of having
been removed from the list for content into a totally different
light.

Your email sets us back. There was never blocking and i think the email re-sent by Adiel shows that. Sophia has apologized so lets not try and call this anything else. There was a wrong and hopefully it is going to be righted.
We need to get back onto the substantive issues. Blindly expecting the community to accept because you think you are right does not work.
So let us stop the accusations. You also need to accept that a wrong was done and if you were in the know maybe you also need to apologize.
lets not defend the undefendable. The executive Director of DCA wronged and has apologized on the list. Some will accept the apology but then again others might not.

Dr Eberhard W Lisse,
you work for an admitted liar.
Nonsense, just because you have the capacity to insult people does not make her anything she is not.
She already told the truth in fact to your surprise and you could not take it. She was blocked from participation so she used a pseudo-name to protect herself from the likes of you in this list. There was no mischief or lies in the content of the message. But you cant handle the truth can you?
On the other hand, in case you did not know who you have supported or you are working for, please try a dishonest and deceptive application for a .africa, a whole 1Bill people? .

Thank's for the apology. Its a positive step towards bridging the divide. i still have hope that we can get a unified process. I would ask that you post as Sophia so we get back to discussing the main issues.

Not so quickly. Are you not a member of the global strategic advisory leadership group of DCA? and on this list and on this subject you've been playing defense for 'Lerato'
I have not been a sockpuppet and not lied so I owe no apology;
you tied yourself to DCA and Lerato so you deserve what comes with it or are you quickly dissociating yourself now? Before the cock crows 3 times?
Why can't we just be truthful?
