This forum established after an incident of witch hunts and tracing attempts was observed to occur against students who spoke out on a topic others wanted silenced, on another forum. Our site is dedicated to those students.

Thank you friend. It's good to see another forum for PNGians to use.

I sometimes come onto this forum and say my piece because it has a certain beauty about the origins of its creation and its philosophy and foundation that I appreciate. Why such an attachment you may ask? Let me explain. I saw once how Wantoks Forum censored political postings. This was in regard to the Topaz postings. Say what you will but the way the postings were removed quickly and without explanation angered me. When I saw the address of this forum that is why I came over. Back then there seemed to be some students in charge of this forum but there also seemed to be little or no need for censorship back then.

This forum and its statement of philosophy is the antithesis of what some of our fellow so called future leaders and students would do were they to get into power. It is my statement of protest against such students that drives me to participate in this forum on occasion.

I agree however that this forum has problems namely the lack of any censorship at all.

Bill White's redundant postings eventually trigger angry responses. His inability to discuss the issue (I remember when there was an attempt on Wantoks Forum and he suddenly stopped answering questions after the questions dug too deeply) plus the redundancy of the postings finally triggered the reactions that covered every forum at one time or another. Those arguments have come close to destroying this forum. I'm sad to see this.

If Bill White would stay off, I think this forum would again regain a sense of balance. I don't think he will, but he has apparently receded into the background a bit right now. I'm thankful for that gesture and this forum now looks better as a result of his decision.

Those are my thoughts.

Best wishes to everyone who comes here.

The Gladiator
