You're a fool who has built an entire public profile around insults, abuse and personal attacks. At this point, that seems to be all you have left to offer. Perhaps you need to keep up the performance to justify your asylum in Germany. That's your business. But let's get a few things straight. President Kagame's supporters and defenders are real people, with their own experiences and reasons for supporting his leadership. They are not a collection of mindless followers waiting for your approval. When you publish nonsense about their President or country, they are entitled to challenge you. You cannot insult people relentlessly and then complain when they answer back. You accuse Kagame's supporters of not reading, yet your own argument is built on the assumption that anyone who disagrees with you must be intellectually deficient. You seem to think that calling people maggots, lunatics and idiots somehow makes your argument stronger. It doesn't. Insults are not intellectual debate, and neither is playing the victim after provoking a reaction. You have made a career out of abusing General Muhoozi Kainerugaba. Frankly, you should be grateful for him. Without Gen @mkainerugaba, many people would probably never have encountered your writings. Your constant attacks have become your brand, but notoriety is not the same as intellectual relevance. You imagine yourself a great intellectual and satirist, but there is a difference between satire and simply hurling abuse at people. In publishing circles, being provocative is not enough. You still need substance, credibility and an argument worth engaging with. You have increasingly substituted all three with insults. And this little circle of Rwandan dissidents you dine with, who make a living recycling allegations against their country, does not speak for Rwanda or represent Rwandans. You are free to associate with whoever you like, but you cannot turn that circle into a national constituency. Here is the reality you seem unwilling to accept. Rwandans are not obliged to remain silent when you drag their country and its President into your endless provocations. They will challenge you, just as others will challenge your attacks on Gen. Muhoozi. That is not harassment simply because you dislike the response. You are entitled to your opinions. You are not entitled to immunity from scrutiny, criticism or pushback. And if you want to be taken seriously as an intellectual, perhaps start by making an argument instead of reaching for the nearest insult.
