Teage,
you mean to tell me every blog that reports on president Taylor’s trial is “a Taylor blog.” Because, “it’s a about Taylor’s trail in Sierra Leone”?
Teage, there are so many blogs carrying this trial. Are they also “Taylor blog”?
Teage, the only reason why you are describing this blog as “Taylor blog” is because, vast majority of us look at the trial differently from you and other minorities. However Teage, let us just pretend that most people on this site say things that are not favorable to Taylor, will it be fair within your opinion that it can be described as ANTI TAYLOR’S BLOG? Teage However, this website, is just reporting what I think is a fair and balanced reflection of what is actually happening. In order words, they are not making the news but rather, they are reporting the news. Now you may understand why President Taylor dominated, when at least, there was an equalled and levelled playing field. This website is a classic example.

Teage, I will give you the benefit of the doubt, that Tracey did say, “it is about Taylor.” Sure. That doesn’t make blogs that are reporting on the trial to be “Taylor blog.” I am pretty sure CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, BBC, Radio France, VOA, Focus on Africa, Network Africa, Front Page Africa.com. Sierra Leone News.com, Liberia News.com, All about Liberia.com, etc who report on this trial will appreciate their blog being desribed as Taylor’s blog.

I hope you learn a valuable lesson from this post and desist from accusing this site.

Actually Rodriguez this is a Taylor blog, it’s about Taylor’s trail in Sierra Leone. I clearly understood when Tracey stated that this is an “independent” blog which i clearly know is sponsored by the “Open Society Justice Initiative”. I clearly understood that. And Tracey did say in the sense that i stated it is about Taylor. Don’t get on me for answering people’s question they ask. If you don’t want to hear my opinion don’t read it it’s that simple…………..if you are going to comment about my response but not the questions or comments made to which i comment under than good luck. If this was a problem and I say to Tracey if my opinions are truly a problem and a distraction that does not be posted, I will imagine she will not post it. If that has not happen, when comments are made, and questions I asked i will comment and if you don’t agree or don’t like it that will not even slow me down from commenting a little. The only that will stop me from commenting in a specific way is if the moderators of this blog tells me to try to rephrase my comments.

Thanks

Teage,

why are you so hard to learn? Didn’t Tracey tell us this is not a Taylor blog? Stop saying “this is Taylor blog.” I’m warning you. stop it. Finally, what will it take you to believe our moderator Tracey statement, that this is not President Taylor or any other person’s blog?

Aki,

“Charles Taylor has never in his life killed a person and he never will”. Wow, Ok…………that’s all I can say to that ridiculous statment. I don’t even find it nessassary to agruge on a point like that I know the truth and not only me, but the international community and many Liberians so we wouldn’t even open that other can of worms, not now. Secondly So pleaase tell me again when I left Liberia, and when i went back so that I can be clear how long i stayed in Liberia, or if I went bact when Taylor was there? Taylor against the death penalty, that is laughable, an oxymoron. If that is the case He should have just put him and his son and general mosquito, and all the other general living with him in Gbarnga and cuttington behind bars.
“Charles Taylor against the death penalty”……..wow, thanks for that one more thing to sharing that goes to show how Taylor does not have “NO DRYFACE”

Due process to remove Doe? As mentioned you said you were too young. We tried due process in the 1985 elections and look what Samuel Doe did to us. Further you must remember it was not Charles Taylor who killed Doe it was Prince Johnson. Charles Taylor has never killed anyone in his life and never will. As a President he was even against the death penalty. If you had stayed in Liberia alittle longer you would know these things.

Msteage,
You still have not answered my question. If Taylor is all you say how come he was elected with over 80% of the vote? Please don’t give me the excuse we were afraid of him thats why we elected him. If this is the case how come none of the other war lords had any significant showing?

Helen,

“STOP TRYING TO BE CUTE?” I don’t see anything cute about me discussing my opinion. So if you want to agree or disagree or pose a question about something I be more than delight to answer..

J.Fallah Menjor,
Thank you, I’ve never been someone to back down from something or to allow other peoples cynicism, immaturity, opinion or whatever intimidate me, and I will not let it start happening. I enjoy and quite ok being the one of the few people who speak out for what they believe. I could care less if 1 million people on this site do not share the same sentiments as me, I will still speak out. Many people aren’t use to that they’re use to people backing down as soon as they are overwhelmed by the majority. I can assure you that as long as this site exist and as long as God gives me days I will be here (LOL).
So Fallah, keep speaking your heart.
