  Thank you Francis Kwarteng for this wonderful exegesis which touches on many issues. You are well read but you seem a bit eccentric and scatterbrain as your write-up is loaded with no single theme. Journalism of insults is practised by small small brains and those who are not well brought up, or those whose intellectual upbringing is deficient. Tolerance and intolerance juxtaposed means accommodation. Only weak-minded people have no balance and they go to extremes to become Hitlers, perpetrating genocides, pogroms, holocausts and massacres. The best approach as you said, is man know thyself. If we follow the golden rule of do unto others what you would them do unto you, then we shall have atonement and live in nirvana. You preach afrocentrism, but know that we have been mentally colonised so much so that it will be hard to come out of the rut. We need a third liberation of our faculties. Lunatics and freaks will continue their looney write-ups on ghanaweb, but will it be for ever? Nemesis will soon catch up with everybody. Have a wonderful day and keep us posted.

  Yes, you are right, we've to learn to tolerate each other, after all, we've responsibilities to each other, to our country, and to our continent. I can only hope Ghanaweb gets better each day.
