Seen!
I know Rasta reasoning takes place in Rasta gates, even though Rasta may certainly "speak" any where. It has been made clear recently that the board is not under Rasta management, and further that it does not deal exclusively with Rasta reasoning. Even though evidence of both may have been visible, it is still good to know for sure.
There may be an element of deception involved in purchasing such a domain as rastafarispeaks.com if it is not for the purpose of Rasta reasoning. I did not KNOW of course but I was inclined to expect that Rastafarians of some flavor or other were in charge. If one does not defend the Ivinity of His Majesty, then clearly one cannot be Rasta! Rastafarians will find InI to be extremely stubborn on this point!!! :)
It would never occur to me to purchase catholicspeaks.com or muslimspeaks.com - that is why I cannot pretend to understand the motives behind it. It appears as if the persons in charge are making changes for the improvement of the board, and addressing some of the concerns raised by users. They deserve cooperation and support from the users, because they are providing a service for all, free of charge. Furthermore, they have also repeatedly made it clear that InI are free to go elsewhere if things are not pleasing to InI. This readiness to see InI leave is particularly troubling, and I think it reflects a certain amount of anger and defensiveness in the admin/s, built up over time --- I know Rastas dont want to be anywhere they are not welcome, or even warmly welcome.
There are innumerable places on the Internet where discussions take place, and I have attached a message board to our site as well. It has always been InI mission to make the board a servant of ACTION, not merely more discussion. (There is already enough discussion for discussion's sake, and I find most mesaage boards to be stupefyingly boring.) It is to be used to support and enhance other services aimed at empowering ACTIVE pan Africans with technology tools. The site is still in "beta" stage, not everything is up yet, however as ones and ones have expressed a desire to reason within "Rasta gates", where administration will be applied with Solomonic fairness, then certainly InI can serve that cause. Ones may link man at isaiah@africanstarline.com for it is a violation to promote other boards here.
I may not be a "regular", but I will continue to use this board for there is good reasoning to be found here amidst the folly. It is an accurate reflection of the world. I would like for InI to have and enjoy a board which is an accurate reflection of Zion! :) So let it be, if it pleases the I, Almighty Ras Tafari!!!
Peace and love, in humbleness.
