Ladies and gentlemen,

A couple of guys, may be even the same person with different aliases, have been spamming facebook with slander about me, the Tharanga team and Tharanga. I first ignored it as childish. The relentless campaign continued all through the night and probably will continue for some time. It is not my style not to respond to criticism. However, my responses would have to involve business colleagues and members of my team – now and in the past. Hence the restraint on my part.

If I must respond, I will do so at an appropriate time and place. Until then, I will take the high road and ignore the noise makers. As a reminder to the trolls, I would like to add that not only I am blessed with good memory, I also keep meticulous records.

Finally, success has many fathers and failure is an orphan. I heard that a new father has now emerged for TORi.
