Mr. Michael Wetnhialic, Stop Shaming Yourself – Gen. Gregory Vasili Is an Elder Deserving Respect, Not Your Hatred
It is deeply disappointing to witness the level of disrespect you have chosen to display, Michael Wetnhialic. One would expect that anyone raised with proper values understands the importance of honoring elders and leaders. Yet your actions speak otherwise. You have not only embarrassed yourself, but you have also disregarded the very foundation of respect that holds our communities together.
Let me be clear—this is a serious warning. When respect is abandoned, consequences follow. In every society, including ours, discipline and accountability exist for those who cross the line. A person who continuously disrespects elders invites not only social rejection but moral consequences as well.
What happened to the ethics of activism? True activism is guided by principles—fairness, objectivity, and integrity. Criticism is not meant to destroy personalities but to build dialogue. Unfortunately, your repeated attacks against Gen. Gregory Vasili have gone far beyond constructive criticism. What you present is not professional critique, but personal hostility.
There is a clear difference between holding leaders accountable and engaging in character assassination. You crossed that line long ago. Your words are no longer about issues or leadership—they are filled with bitterness and negativity. That is not activism; that is something else entirely.
In Dinka culture, respect for elders is not optional—it is a core value. No child stands to insult an elder without consequences. Such behavior is considered deeply shameful and invites serious social and spiritual repercussions. Even scripture teaches this principle: honoring elders is not just cultural, it is moral.
Yet you continue to insult and accuse Gen. Gregory, a man who stands in a position that should command your respect. Whether you agree with him or not, there is a way to express disagreement without abandoning decency. If respect is not something you practice, then you should reconsider how you engage with communities that hold it sacred.
It is also troubling that your focus appears selective. Why target one elder with such intensity while ignoring others? This pattern raises questions about your intentions. When criticism becomes one-sided and emotionally charged, it loses credibility and reveals underlying bias.
As someone who values discipline and proper upbringing, I cannot remain silent. This behavior reflects poorly not only on you but on the standards we must uphold as a society. I urge you to stop this path of reckless attacks and return to a more respectful and responsible way of expressing your views.
I am fully aware of your ongoing role in supplying information to the WatchDog Press Facebook page, which is under the control of Kanybil Noon. The pattern of coordination is evident, and it reflects a deliberate and calculated effort rather than coincidence. Your alignment with Kanybil’s operations suggests a shared agenda that goes beyond casual association.
Furthermore, it is increasingly clear that Kanybil Noon is orchestrating multiple Facebook platforms as instruments for targeted attacks against Gen. Gregory and other government officials. Your involvement in this network raises serious concerns about intent, credibility, and accountability. Such actions are not only unprofessional but also indicative of a broader campaign designed to manipulate narratives and undermine reputations.
This is not just advice—it is a final call to reflect, correct your approach, and act with maturity. Respect is not weakness; it is strength. Without it, no argument—no matter how loud—will ever carry true weight.
