Calling those things “on the verge of hateful” is a massive understatement. As to Mazzi’s right to his opinions, that is true (alas, depending on the laws of his homeland and his own sexual orientation), but that doesn’t mean he has the right to express anything he likes on a particular blog — that is a privilege, not a right.

You confirm what I have always known about westerners–rank hypocrisy. Freedom of Expression is okay provided it operates within the narrow boundaries which you define. This is the sort of hypocrisy that allows Western leaders to call for democracy in Africa while rolling out the red carpet for pro-Western dictatorships in the Middle-east who supply them with cheap crude oil. BTW, in Uganda, promoting gayism will neither be a privilege nor a right. It would be a criminal offence.

For instance, if someone were to make the same statements about Jews, they would not be able to post them here for long.

Please do not insult the distinguished Jewish people by comparing them to persons who engage in sex crimes.

Most of his recent contributions here have been in rather pointless tit for tat with you. May I suggest that private email might be a more appropriate place for your exchanges with him?

You are intolerant of dissent, but have the audacity to accuse somebody else of the same. Let me make it plain to you—- my purpose here is to merely put across the viewpoint of my people amidst the self-righteous uproar of Western ignoramuses who cannot even point out East Africa on a map not to mention Uganda. I am quite happy to hear the voices of foreigners who have a different opinion. But make no mistake about it— I am not here to receive lectures from you on how the Ugandan people should run their nation.

I assume my contributions were not deliberately blocked because I never get to see any of my responses. It would be kind of you to let me know.
