Banning of news in the INTERNET is a serious crime.          By U Thaung

Dear Friends,

I want to know all about what have happened  and what is  happening in the
Burmese democracy movements on the whole, so that I can  make judgement to
support the group or activities.  Even I like to know for my knowledge.

My thirst was satisfied when the information highway of the INTERNET was
paved. I enjoy reading all sorts of pros and cons of many organizations and
movements.  I think I am in haven compare with my life under Burmese
military rule. 

Deplorably,  I read that a clique of Burmese democracy leaders does not like
to hear captious view on them and issued an order to ban the criticizer from
their board.  Following is order issued by the Free-Burma list and  support
by their their associates----

Dear Maung/Ma/U/Daw/Ko/Mr./Mrs./Ms/ Mssr./Madame Nyein Chan:

"Friendly manner of criticism is much more effective and acceptable 
rather than posting your criticism on the net or which ever way in 
public -leading to provoke negative result- if those of who really wants 
to see inporvement in those organiztions."  --Aung Kyaw

I think Ko Aung Kyaw has a point when he responded your verbal "criticisms"
of anything that moves.

If you want to play this self-appointed critic or gadfly against those who
are involved in the movement for democracy in Burma, you have the right to
do so.

As the owner of the Free-Burma list, I however, request that you respect my
right to ask you to stop sending your crappy emails to the following address:

free-burma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Advance thanks.

Sincerely,

zarni
        xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

U Nyein Chan,

As a recent participant in the movement to free Burma, it was imperative
for me to come to the defence of Ko Zar Ni.

I've been quietly reading all the email battles happening and now I just
usually end up deleting these mails.  Engaging in such actions do not help
at all with the movement to free Burma, but just creates an atmosphere of
ego battles and "mental masturbation".

I absolutely support Ko Zar Ni's decision to hinder these pestering emails
in reaching the FBC list server.  Quite frankly, I don't want to read
solution-less emails that have no point but inflating the ego's of persons
hoping to gain recognition by them.  No recognition nor respect will there
be for this nonsense.  

Let's hear solutions and answers, not criticism of the brothers and sisters
involved in the movement.  Those involved in the movement MOVE...they don't
masturbate.

fellow burmese,
Ali

Dear Nyein Chan,

I am asking you politely, both through the bumranet and directly to your
hotmail account, to please:

1. set up your own server list or 
2. write directly to the people you are concerned with about this ongoing
hysterical attack against the organisations of your choice.

I hope you will pay attention to this request, since it is much shorter than
the lengthy tirades you have been subjecting Burmanet subscribers to.

I have been automatically deleting anything posted by
<nyeinchan@xxxxxxxxxxx>, which is a little sad, because you may have been
posting useful information in between your personal battles with other
activists.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Dear friends,
Please permit me to express my view. I think it is totally wrong to close
your eyes and eyes of your subscribers. Banning news and commentary is work
of fascists who want to hide their sins. If  your deeds are sincere, you
need not be too afraid of blaming you. Readers can think who is right and
what is wrong.
 
I understand that, this conflict started  after discovery of  certain
sensitive leader who had even committed crime and who had tortured his
comrades that opposed his views.

I am afraid, if this kind of comments is made in the lawless boarder area
today, the critic might be condemned to death again.  It is easy to repeat
old mistakes, if they are not  exposed and denounced.

I am  seriously worried to see these democracy leaders to win the battle and
rule the country because they might be worst than the SLORC.  Their concept
of freedom of speech is  to praise them only. They refused opinion of the
people. Even in the most freed institute of the celestial globe- the
INTERNET, they are trying to suppress information they do not want to hear.
I am gravely afraid now.

I do regard that  to ban information  is same sin as  killing  of dissents.

Since 1958, The Burmese military had tried to take political power by
suppression of freedom. Newspapers had been closed and confiscated.  Many
journalists, writers and politicians were imprisoned to seal their opinions.
As a result, the military generals win the war and ruled us with intention
of governing forever.
People and leaders inside Burma are fighting the military dictators
defiantly, and it seems that the people are winning the crusade.   

In contrast to the movements in native Burma,  a clique of politician,
wearing masks as democracy fighters abroad are trying to cover their crimes
by suppression of news, even in the INTERNET.

Dear fiends, please think of the situation. I am deeply sorry to witness
this devastation of truth.
U Thaung
