Lost my gloves. It is minus 46 outside. Steering is frozen.

Originally posted by Isseh: Libaax, do you know something I don't? I know I made some folks quite angry with the simple truth, they may have complained about me to the Admin. I'll take that as "Yes" the reer magaal way. Rageedii. You know how to get out of traps.

NGONGE, you remember back in the days ... we go through this "healing" process once every couple of years. It is good for the nomads to be heard every now and then. It is part of SOL tradition.

^^Ciisoow, inadeer did you ever commit gaffe yourself and has Admin ever cleaned-up your mess as part of SOL rules to delete attacks? Did you ever recieve a PM from Admin asking you to calm down (same thing that Baashi recieved). Was that a special favor for you?

NGONGE, what are you talking about? Caano was FedEx-ing bariis to North America and you didn't know about it in London? I am sure Caano Geel misled the good man into thinking you were coming for a feast. Caano is a very tricky man. He is always plotting things. Waraa Garweyne, Ilaahay reerka haka dhigo mid khayr qaba oo lagu waaro. Aaamiin.

Allamagan Awoowe, I tried to reply to you when you sent me those complaints a while back but I was getting the "PM IS FULL" kind of error when I tried to reply to you. That doesn't mean your private message is full, it is just that our PM system has few problems and such error is very common when folks try to send pm messages. I will see if that is fixed. Awoowe, no disrespect in any way walaahi.

Here is the summary .... Labo-xiniinyood: my thread has been removed because I think Admins share clan with adeer Yeey. Wax kale meesha ma yaalaan. Iseh: when my poem was removed I thought it was because SOL owners didn't like Yeey or Admins to be criticized. It was confusing at first. Kashafa: my hard-hitting insults against SOL nomads are always deleted because a biased "reer-hebel" gang runs SOL. No doubt!. I should be allowed to crucify these amxaaro-lovers right here on SOL. Anything less is just immoral considering how Ethiopia is raping our people. There is a huge bias here! An immoral bias. Serenity: Baashi's attacks against me have been removed from SOL and that is unfair. I didn't want them to be removed. You guys should have left that thread here for all to see. My issues with him go way back to Women's section. I have no clan issues whatsoever. Allamagan: MMA is a biased Moderator and should have been removed a long time ago. Libaax ignored my many complaints about this moderator. This whole place smells "bias". Why are we wasting time? Let us be honest here!

Originally posted by Kashafa: The best and bravest Somalia has to offer have been described as 'slaughtered as pigs' with not even a token slap of the wrist. The rape of Somali women(your sisters, abti) have been dismissed as PR propaganda campaign. Aside from the sweeping accusations, I have no doubt you are good-hearted and carry a great message for SOL readers. The problem with you Kashafa is that you feed on juvenile distractions/attacks in the process, and that muddies much of your well-intended message. Reading your post above, it is side-splitting how you insinuate others should “maintain dignity” in debates and not come off from their high-minded pedestal, when I myself have been cursed with the task of cleaning up your own muddle in many debates. You describe my effort as "censorship". Awoowe I truly believe you are a unique source of a different perspective for this platform and I am sure millions of readers do appreciate your message (including me ). Awoowe, keep the activism positive and stay above the fray for the sake of your loyal readers.

Ted Kennedy, the giant of the Democratic party is to endorse Obama tomorrow. This is a big coup for Obama. It is already sending shockwaves throughout the media. It gives Obama much needed credibitity among party faithfuls. The timing couldn't have been better as we head to Super Tuesday.

Labo-Xiniin, inadeer we don’t stifle content based on a TFG, BLC, BBN gauge. That just sounds meaningless looking at SOL archives. Your quick seizure of the mantle “SOL doesn’t allow anti-TFG content” comes off as irrational and makes you seem a relic of absurd conspiracies. There are diverse opinions on this platform and it is my sincere suggestion you have a peep at the plethora of assorted opinions on SOL archives. There is long history archived here and the most anti-TFG material you can find anywhere on the internet. Take off the magnifying glasses akhi. The world is not as black or white as you may perceive. As for your second thread, it was a complaint thread attacking SOL and the integrity of its staff. If anything was worth deletion it was that thread. We don’t allow such topics on this forum. That has always been the case. It is against the golden rules of SOL to create complaint topics. You have every right to ask Moderators for an explanation in private as to why a specific thread was deleted or edited (MOST NOMADS DO THIS), but we don’t tolerate topics being created as a gripe subject.

Obama murders Hillary in South Carolina. A big win for the young African I say. We now move on to Feb. 5th states. http://youdecide08.foxnews.com/2008/01/26/obama-pulls-big-victory-out-of-south-carolina/

Isseh Awoowe, I think that piece of yours is hilarious and harmless in every sense of the word. What does it say that warrants its deletion? Absolutely Nothing. The problem for moderators (and you have experienced it yourself) is when multiple pages of back-and-forth insults and personal attacks overshadow such benign thread creating floods of criticism against mods and compromising forum quality. It is time consuming to edit pages and pages of attacks. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It is my believe that personal attacks more than anything ruin the quality of this forum. We would rather have few missing threads than pages of back-and-forth insults being archived for millions to read. That has always been our practice. Laba-Xiniinyood, awoowe adigoo raali ah repost your original thread if you can. The whole thread was deleted because of the reason mentioned above. If you search the archives of SOL (general, women, politics) you will notice there are tons of similar complaints about missing threads being deleted for the same reason over the years. SOL is a heavily moderated forum and that is what makes it unique. No one should be insulted or attacked on this forum under any circumstances. Yes it is unfair to the “thread owner” to see their article removed but every now and then we are forced to make these difficult decisions in order to provide you all with a clean platform for mature discussions. PS: I was in Edmonton, Canada for an engineering seminar when the party started getting out of control here. Often times moderators don’t get the luxury of catching attacks before it is too late. Waxaadba mooddaa in nala fiirsado markaan meesha ka maqan nahay.

^^Lazie, you know I would never post BS info. C'moon inadeer. Here is Hillary's favourite website (also yours) run by her biased friends ... CNN. http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/ Happy now? Even Barack has that number on his website and you know Obama wouldn't lie about his delegate win. Remember delegates are free to change their mind later on in Denver, but the nomination process is all about delegate count. Here is a comment from Nevada Democratic Party "if the delegate preferences remain unchanged between now and April 2008, the calculations of national convention delegates being circulated by the Associated Press are correct. We look forward to our county and state conventions where we will choose the delegates for the nominee that Nevadans support."

Update! Obama wins Nevada!!! He has won 11 out of 17 counties including rural counties. The State of Nevada will asign 13 national delegates to him. Hillary got 12 from her Nevada campaign. This race is all about delegates, and his team has done very well in Nevada. Obama's campaign is now off to South Carolina where the democratic base is 50% African American.

By the time it passes the North American safety and emissions standards it will cost a fortune. We don't live in India and we like our cars to have air conditioner and stereo and that will further inflate the cost. This "cheap" claim is nothing more than a hype!

Xiinoow, I think most people support Cadde's bold move against the criminal gangs and his latest attempt to "take the war" to their hide-outs. The old man is not sitting around anymore. As for his tenure as Governor, well ... that is a whole other topic for debate.

Not the first time Somaliland was mentioned/discussed there. Not the first time Riyaale/Egal met a world leader.

^^Rahima, Asalamu Alaykum sister. Good to see you again.

It was one of SOL advertisers and the term has expired. I'll find the link for you.

Xiin, Cynthia is out with her donkey campaigning for the Kenyati. What "color" are you talking about? Gediid, Carville and Bagala guns are set to join the Clintons' "dirty campaign" so this process is far far from over. It will get nasty.

This is what I remember from my Dugsi Teacher and his methods. He would use different combinations of the following list depending on the foul. fooxin (adiga oo xarig ku xiran ciyaalkuna wejiga dhuuso si joogto ah wejiga kaaga neefiyaan. This is another form of poisoning.) Jinaceyn (jinac qaniinyo kulul oo tiro badan oo surwaalka laguu subo adigoo lugaha iyo gacmaha ka xiran.) maceysi (ciyaalka dugsiga oo dharbaaxo kaala dhaca meel walba adigoo xir-xiran) miigeyn (sidii MIG-17 laguu xiro beer beer saacado dhan) duubis (wejiga oo maro lagaaga xiro dabadeedna macalinku kugu garaaco ul) washamsi (ciyaalka oo dhan oo ul kugu bilaaba, macalinkuna daawado) Qabasho (Adiga oo dugsiga u gooyey oo raaxeesanaayo magaalada oo ciyaalka dugsiga laguu diro inay ku soo qabtaan. Markeey ku qabtaan ilaa inteey dugsiga ku keenayaan washamsi aa kugu socoto.) ku-reebid (Dugsiga oo lagugu reebo oo cunto laguu diido inaad raadsato fasaxa) Qanjaruufeyn (ciyaalka oo qanjaruufo kugu wareeriya adigoo meel walba ka xiran.) Xirid (gacmaha iyo lugaha oo gadaal-gadaal lagaaga xiro si xoog ah, markay bararaan oo dhiigu xirmona lagaa furo adigoo "big foot" u eg. ) Dhego-qabsi (adigoo foorara ood dhegaha qabsato saacado dhan laguuna diido inaad madaxa la kacdo)

Lool@cousin. Africans are all the same when it comes to clan issues. Ninkii ay qabiil meel iska soo galaanba waa ina adeerkiis. Waa Soomaali halkaan taagan. Couple of days ago a friend of mine was telling me he met a Kikuyu brother who was very upset about Obama's win.

Lazie, Huckabee must impress the O'Reilys and the Rush Limbaughs of the Republican base first. His populist pandering to the small evangelical base and the independents won’t get him the Republican nomination. He needs to dish up the rhetorical red meat of the conservative bedrock. As for Obama, the young man is trying hard.

Hillary Clinton cries on national TV. This seems nothing more than a desperate move to win some votes at the 11th hour.

Happy New Year to every nomad out there. May Allah give you the best of this upcoming year.
