[...] Amatomu is something that has been developed on weekends, early mornings and that has had Vince and I monitoring it late into the evenings from our homes and even Vince rushing to the office on a particular late Sunday evening. What has been particularly great, is to see the same amount of passion for it by the local blogging community. Anyone who wants to get more involved with the Amatomu and help us…. Give us a shout.

Hi Matt are you cape town based? May I have your contact number please?
thanks

I responded on Twitter to WC Minister Alan Winde’s project to spend tax money on a project to commercialize the Cape coast by pointing out that this area is attractive because it is under-developed.
So Matthew writes “have responded to your query in the comments”.
I have no idea what he means by that. I looked on Twitter, and on the links given by Alan Winde, and could not find anything, so I wrote politely; “I don’t see a link Matthew.”
Instead of responding properly, what does he write? —> “adjust those spectacles”
I mean, really, how rude is he? That’s what we call a ‘conversation stopper’.
Matthew, if you want people to follow you and read your crap, at least try and be polite. I’m fed up to the back teeth with rude DA supporters that sound like they’ve been brain-washed.
