Everybody swear that they understand the PAN HISTORY and SOCIOLOGY but they have a real problem demonstrating the knowledge (which is ever changing, anyway). PAN MEN are who PAN MEN were and we should all understand that.
I know for a fact that there are HUNDREDS of PAN MEN who read this forum and would love to express their views but are afraid to (BIG MEN) for fear of academic rebuke of their writing skills. And the forum loses a lot because of that -- and these PAN MEN are the same people who crossed geographic boundaries taking the PAN all over the world. Ah mean when yuh reach Germany or Japan -- what difference does it make how good yuh English is? It comes down to how well you could represent the INSTRUMENT -- musically.
So stick to attacking the CONTENT of the POSTING and leave the poster's vehicle of expression out of the debate.

Cecil: Who yuh voting for: CIP or DIAZ or RUSSELL? All this OLE TALK and KEITH DIAZ sure to reign until 2020!!!
Ah getting the SPIT and the SALIVA mix-up, dey tell me this happens wid old age. I like Russell comments, the discussion was one sided before. He brought out Oswald so I guess he struck a nerve. I like Aquil, he has displayed the he has leadership skills, he may lack experience but he will learn, what is important is he will attract the youth to the movement and that's what needed today.
Never thought about the YOUTH ANGLE -- but you have a POINT. Aquil could trade on that YOUTH PLATFORM!!!
This is why I love social media, any jackass could comment, Trump and I uses it daily.
I addressed that issue, i thought it was in bad taste. Thanks Claude.
One more reason why yuh do hear much from me anymore...I have nothing to prove to anyone...especially some of those "older" pan men...but say wha?...
merrytonestothebone, don't let others' views put you off commenting on the forum. I love the way how everyone interacts. Most of the time, I'm trying to work out who lives in Trinidad and who lives in the US .... LOL
