+++ Criticism is always welcome - especially in a democracy. But what are you criticising ?? Fred's work, writing-style, subjects of writing or Fred himself. > Goans cannot be compared to Sikhs as we do not possess the tools that they have access to. +++ No we cannot be compared to anybody but at least we can use them for inspiration - which I believe is all Fred tried to do. Do you want us to stay where we are ?? Or do you want us to progress as a people ?? > I contend that Fred is a very hard worker and renders goanet a mighty > service but in doing so, he ignores the problems facing Goans and does not > suggest any remedies to Goan political situations. +++ So you want Fred to be a political journalist. Pray tell me - who are you, me or Ole Xac/Bernado to tell Fred what kind of journalist he ought to be. And how can you ascertain that by rendering "Goanet a mighty service" he is not rendering a mighty service to Goans everywhere ? Tell me...... > The reasons are that he does not wish to lock horns with the political bosses in Goa. Aiyres Rodrigues often does what Fred should. +++ So instead of complaining about Fred, complement Aires. > I was only exposing the corrupt state of affairs in Goa, its banking and political machinations. +++ With re to what you endured of Goa's banking, I'm sure every Goanetter shares your pain, sincerely, but at the same time are helpless in resolving your problem. I hope everybody will be more vigilant in future and something like what happened to you does not befall them. Nevertheless everybody is aware of the corrupt state of affairs in Goa. It's not news anymore. > No one was asked to solve a problem that is outside their capacity. +++ Again, you, me or Ole Xac/Bernado are not in a position to determine Fred's capacity. You, Ole Xac and some other Netters give the impression that Fred Noronha is the only journalist you know in Goa. If you have some "beef" with Goa's journalists (and many of you do), taking it out on Fred Noronha is not going to change anything. > But Goans as usual have caught the bull by the tail. +++ I'm afraid Edgar, the same can be said about you. Nevertheless, I know you have Goa's interests at heart and have some fantastic ideas for Goa!!
