--__--__-- Please, let's all work to keep this list free of infighting, unnecessary personality-oriented controversy, bitterness among members, ad hominem attacks, provoking each other and trying to prove one another wrong. This policy only leads to a whole lot of unpleasantness on all sides. It has been shown to fail as a strategy for building interest on other ventures in cyberspace. If you have a point to make, argue it upfront, and try to convince the others reading this list. That's the challenge. If we have a genuine difference of opinion, let's respect that rather than treat each other as enemies who need to be proven wrong or shown in bad light. We are all human, and my biases are as strong as anyone else's. We all make mistakes, and so do I. But we have been working to set up a mechanism in place, to ensure that Goanet promotes fair discussion without getting unnecessarily personal. Of course, it doesn't work all the time. But we try. We do quite some behind-the-scenes work, to avoid transgressions of the line and to settle things amicably. (I have been seriously interested in knowing more about the real identity of Bernardo Colaco, and have been looking for some genuine pointers on this issue -- after the trail of what seemed to me to be red-herrings. I may be entirely wrong on this. But it would still be an educative experience about what views different Goans hold, and why.) I repeat what I said earlier: Goanet is open to all points of views; only make sure you stay within the parameters of the rules of the list. For our part, we on the Admin Team will strive to make the rules work as a forum for the free-exchange of views that are of interest to our readers.
