[Prishtina-E] Message to Jennifer

[George Garza]

Dear Etrit Bardhi,
Thanks for your response. I have no problem with the
ban on obscene language, rules, etc. And feel more
comfortable conveying my thoughts in English since my
Albanian reading, writing and speaking still have a
long way to go.
However, as far as Dardan is concerned, I really doubt
that his moves are "of a purely technical nature" (-as
you put it). I'm still not too sure about his motives
since he is STILL sending messages in ENGLISH on the
ALBANIAN-SPEAKING forum. 
(Does he live by the dictatorial policy of: "Do as I
say and not as I do"?) 
Where is the honesty in this??
It still seems his threats to kick me out of the
Albanian-speaking forum is because I'm expressing
things he and his followers would rather not listen
to.
Had I been able to express the same viewpoints in
Albanian, I suspect he would STILL try to find an
excuse to silence an American point of view.
But that's OK, its HIS loss, not mine.
I've printed the texts of my e-mail and the responses
I've gotten from Dardan and the others. Most everyone
I've shown them to is surprised and out-raged. It has
had an impact on what some of my fellow Americans now
think About Albanians.
Some of this stuff is being forwarded to our KFOR
forces in Kosova, as well as to some members of our
congress.
But don't worry, the same thing has happened with the
Serbs who are just as racist as their Albanian
counterparts.
It makes us all the more eager to have our American
soldiers return home since BOTH sides are committing
violence against one another and each side tries to
convince us that THEY are right and that the OTHER
side is wrong.
It's a sad situation all around.
