In response

Mental,

Leave these hindiots alone. You endelea with what you are doing. I think your podcasts have driven peeps to go psycho on your a$$ coz they cant have you. Si walishindwa kutoa evidence? Even hollywood stars have psychopaths hot on their heels. Si wewe wa kwanza. So, like you have done hapa, take it in your stride….you have cleared the air.

Like I always say, keep up with the good work. I am looking forward to next years Kaybees.

The ‘Licious!

Mental,

Your integrity in this post is remarkable, really.
I mean you did not have to address this on your blog especially since the “allegations” are either fabricated, misinformed, or a result of utter miscommunication. But you did. I am sympathetic to the girl and hope that she finds her perpetrator soon because I don’t think for a minute that this is you. You should be commended.

The current generation of African leaders, noted as the esteemed ushers of the so-called ‘African Renaissance’, could learn a lesson about accountability from you. About responding to accusations whether or not one is guilty. You are thinking about your dedicated readers here and your selfless and non-patronizing acknowledgement (i.e. you didn’t link to the person’s site nor reveal their identity -you just let the facts of her continued engagement with you speak for themselves), is at once courageous and respectful.

Being RESPECTFUL to those who’ve attacked you ad hominem, based on nothing more than circumstantial evidence retrieved over the patch-work facts of the internet and pod-casts (?!?!?)…well in my eyes, that’s the true marker of a Class Act African man!

keep blogging along my friend and as samantha jones said in ’sex and the city’ - “all publicity is good publicity”.

What podcasts… what did I miss… HELLO can someone get me a clue?

together with stunuh iz hau i never heard about the podcasts?
pole sana for the trauma lala salama with a clean roho knowing that you are innocent na wenye wivu wajinyonge!

Mental,

This is actually news to me. I like the way you’ve dealt with it though. You could just have as easily descended to mud-slinging and with good reason but you didn’t. There’s something to be said about that and due diligence, and if all the accuser has to go by are assumptions based on podcasts, then this is one sad story. You didn’t have to defend yourself but you did. The burden of proof shouldn’t be on you. I hope the accuser contacts someone at KBW Admin to resolve this coz there might be someone out there doing the real damage.

I am floating too, someone help me sink and fill me in?
Who was calling who where and why?

I am really sorry, mental, for that kind of mudslinging and I hope the accuser if she has a conscience should apologize.

Pole sana. Keep blogging and don’t let those trying to tarnish your name and muffle your talent get to you. Your intergrity has come through in letting your audience in on what’s been going on. Each of your posts is informative in a different way, so bring it on. We want to hear from you!!

I’m so glad I am not the only one who is floating and having the feeling of things going over their heads. All I have to say is that D., you are one of the best and most provocative, mind-sparking writers I know, that I am in awe of your technological prowess, and that meeting you is going to be a birthday present to myself one of these days. There is NOT a doubt in my mind about your integrity, your honesty, your creativity and your brilliance (actually I’ve said this before, on other blogs, so I begin to sound like a stuck record.) Whatever you need, bro; I’ll probably have it for you. And if I don’t have it, I can get it for you. I respect determination, and lyricism and intelligence. I respect and admire YOU. So, I guess, that’s my vote, although I don’t know what the opposition is. What the f—k are we talking about?

Hey you,

As one of those friends who drove you nutters, let me just say your integrity was never in question for me.

At the end of the day, we is all grown folks. Kudos for responding in such an adult and open way.

I hope this can all be put behind us, especially for you and the other person at the centre of this.

the heck is going on in blogosphere?

Mental - I do not know you or even visit your blog that often but the little I have read and heard from other Kenyans leaves me in no doubt as to your integrity. One thing I figured about blog gangstas (that wonderful term she coined) is that if you are challenging, creative and speak loud enough they will try to silence you one way or the other. Keep blogging and continue doing the things you have been doing for the K blogosphere.

Dunno me thinks this is all so well cooked up. But knowing you and having interacted quite some times I think the allegations are totally ridiculous.

Dont think you are the kind that would fuatilia or stalk. I mean how many times do you talk to chics. Or you would have to explain why Her?

Since in your defence you have choosen to drag me again into your drama i will only say it seems the chickens are comming home to roost. This easter i choose to walk away from controversy between you and myself with a clean heart but it seems you stil insist on dragging me into your mire.so once again i say let bygones be bygone i have walked away hoping that any beef between you and myself was a misunderstanding or the work of another party aimmed at creating conflict. so Mr Mental Please cease and desist from referring in any way or form to myself and or my blog. Sort out any issues you have with your members without alluding or dragging my name into the said issues.

Best of luck

PS. jUST INCASE YOU REMOVE MY POST I HOPE THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR .

Weingo - pole for the stress. Personally, I think the whole thing is an attention getting ploy. Know that your true friends have no doubts about you, or your integrity.

Pole sana. Hope this whole thing pans out soon enough.

In the meantime, keep your head up … the sun always shines after the rain.
