Thanks for your kind words. I am not alone in promoting this and other sites. I tried to name some names earlier and realized just how many I had left out - too many!
Cesspool is not that bad. It is just that one or two people have decided to disobey all the laws of Reason. Here is what wikipedia says of Reason:
Reason is the capacity for consciously making sense of things, applying logic, establishing and verifying facts, and changing or justifying practices, institutions, and beliefs based on new or existing information.[1] It is closely associated with such characteristically human activities as philosophy, science, language, mathematics, and art and is normally considered to be a definitive characteristic of human nature.[2] The concept of reason is sometimes referred to as rationality and sometimes as discursive reason, in opposition to intuitive reason.[3]
Note what I have underlined.
On the subject of tribalism, I can only open up and tell you that you have missed the point. At Cesspool, I tried to fight blatant bias and tribalism. It did not work. I tried to be patient but all I saw was nothing but duplicity where people practiced tribalism and spewed hate but hid behind standard terms. They refused to condemn evil but used clever terms to defend and explain it away.
So I chose the concept called Balance of Terror. I decided to expose tribalism by calling it by name. As I expected, the Moist response came in handy for the people who had been fighting Moi: Accuse the person who complaints of tribalism of being a tribalist! The rest is history.
I have left the place with my demand that any person who can provide evidence of my being a tribalist. I have on the contrary dished out evidence of bias, tribalism and so on involving most of "them". Nobody has ever attempted to prove my so called tribalism.
As for making the allegations, virtually every bigot has tried. But when challenged to back it up, they become the usual idiots by saying "find the evidence yourself". In other words, I should prove something I am opposed to and which I am challenging!
I do not hate any group of Kenyans.
Omollo, you are great. Nipate can't get enough of your posts. I agree with you that nipate.com is a cesspool (since Kuria Kikuyus took over), but we cannot generalize all of them as evil. A kikuyu family gave us a ride to the airport when my family was trying to leave or flee the country. Most of them are good and hardworking people
I posted this to see Kuria's adherents reaction: http://nipate.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58818
