[Community-Discuss] Incident between myself and Prof. Quaynor

[Arnaud AMELINA]

Hi Community

French version, English version after

Bonjour chère communauté,

Non M. Alston cela ne s'est pas passé comme ça. Nous étions nombreaux à
être assis en cercle au salon intérieur du bar, et toi à la terrasse
extérieur,  et tu as pu dans le noir identifié la position de Prof Nii
pour  mener ton action. Chez nous un adage dit "Une souris, même saoulée
n'oublie jamais le carrefour du chat". Si tu respectais Prof tu n'aurais
jamais posé cet acte, même saoulé. Ce n'est pas la première fois que tu
tiens ce genre de comportement, puis tu présente des plates excuses, trop
c'est trop, il est temps que le Board prenne ses responsabilités et te
virer de leur sain car tu est néfaste pour eux et pour la communauté. Par
conséquent je t'invite personnellement en temps que membre de la
communauté, respectueux des ainés, à bien vouloir démissionner de ton
poste, et ne plus te présenter, car tu n'en es pas digne.

Présenté une bouteille de bière déjà ouverte et entamée, à un ainé ne
relève d'aucune culture, mais de la moquerie, surtout avec la phrase qui
l'a accompagnée : " si tu n'as pas les moyens de te l'offrir, voici une
bière pour toi tout seul"  tu es venu volontairement nargué Prof devant
nous.

Je connais le code de conduite pas besoin qu'on me le rappelle et je suis
prêt à assumer les conséquences.

C'est facile de dire que je ne le fais pas en temps que membre du board, on
s'en fou, si tu aime faire des choses en ton nom personnel, pardon
démissiones  et ne te représente plus. Et tu auras la latitude de faire ce
que tu veux en ton nom personnel. Mais tant que tu es membre du board tu as
droit à de la retenue, cela n'a pas besoin d'être écrit quelque part, ça
relève du bon sens et de la bonne éducation. Chez nous, en Afrique on
respect les ainés qui se respectent.

Arnaud

English version

No Mr. Alston it did not happen like that. There were many of us sitting in
a circle in the bar's interior lounge, and you on the outside terrace, and
in the dark you were able to identify Prof Nii's position to carry out your
action. It's said "A mouse, even drunk, never forgets the crossroads of the
cat." If you respected Prof, you would never have done this, even drunk.
This is not the first time you have this kind of behavior, and then you
apologies, too much is too much, it's time for the Board to take his
responsibility and get rid of you,  because you are harmful to them And to
the community. Therefore I invite you personally as a member of the
community, respectful of elders, to resign, and not run again for board
position, because you are not worthy. I'm sorry to be rough, but you
deserve it.

Presented a bottle of beer already opened and started, to an elder, does
not belong to any culture, but mockery, especially with the sentence that
accompanied it: "if you cannot afford, Here's a beer for you only" you came
willingly taunted Prof in front of  us. Hummm!

I know the code of conduct no need to be reminded of it and I am willing to
bear the consequences.

It's easy to say that I do not do it as a member of the board, we do not
care, if you like  doing things in your capacity, pardon resign  and no
longer represent yourself. And you will have the latitude to do what you
want in your own capacity. But as long as you are a member of the board you
should have some decorum, it does not need to be written somewhere, it is
common sense and good education.
