Gilbert, Some clarifications... 1. I did not know we 'crossed swords'. When two people disagree or work towards a consensus they are having a discussion. I rarely think "debate" or even "crossed swords". 2. I wrote in my individual capacity, not as President of Goa Sudharop. I belong to too many organizations and unless I sign as Chair or President, my views are my own and should not be viewed as representative of any organization I belong too. 3. I am not against having Guest Speakers/Chief Guests. Most Goan functions, including those I organize have them. I was opposed to having Chief Guests post their speeches in Goan cyberspace as we have enough hot-air and unabashed self-promotion as it is. 4. You are correct for not taking credit for the idea of having Cheif Guests since that is an established idea.
