Mannnn, I'm glad to have you back. Yours has been a voice of reason that guided me in curtailing any excesses in my prose. I hope you don't go back into to ROM but rather stay here to help us all maintain brotherly decorum.

From a safe distance, I too have been admiring your writing, including the excesses you mentioned. But that's the way it is here. Apologies are rare at BNW. This place is not for the weak-minded. I have several times in the past bared my fangs when things got very hot, but also often going to the lighter side of the forum to cool off. For the past months, I had been writing some exams. So, I did not want to start or join any fights I couldn't finish.

Hey, what can I say? It's hard to avoid vociferous repartees when one's passions are incited, but I think I can say what's on my mind with a little less rancour if I really try. Of course with some folks it's hard to do that. Anyway, I hope you're back for a while at least.

Biafrans don't need to be ventriloquists, which I understand are persons who throw their voices and put words into the mouths of puppets or dummies...I can see the part about dummies talking, but the words are their own.
