Facebook opinion monopolists...

I haven't seen any as scolding, as apt to condemn, and as severe in making condescending remarks on others as a typical facebooker, but even worse with the wannabe opinion monopolists, tending to be so picky about it, using the well-worn generalisation: "chei Gambian bi...!" like it's not "what's on your mind" on here anymore. Me? I think it's this simple:

If a thing's not the latest to you, it's news to someone else. If you were gonna say something that someone else's just said, 'maandul' (take possession of your chill) and don't lynch the person's take. If Omar Touray wants to talk about Julius Nyerere and some other facebooker prefers to talk about the Paramount Chief of Kombo, it's only fair that he respects the person's right/chance to express an opinion, or to participate in a decision... and this is no retort to anyone's.
