If Goanetters have any views about the Ribandar issue, now is the time to post it *to the list*. Do you want the debate to go on? Has it gone on for too long? Are issues being blocked out of the media in general and should the debate continue? Should issues of public importance be given due space, but individual battles and name-calling posts thrashed? Or, should every word that is posted go through?
We look forward to your suggestions. In particular, the views of the silent Goanetters (who form the overwhelming majority) is particularly important. Please have your say now; if you don't, kindly don't later blame Goanet for not being the place you would be proud of!
Incidentally, a few posts related to Ribandar are awaiting approval/rejection. There's a small caucus which confuses 'moderation' with 'censorship'. But the fact is this debate (like a very few others) has really degenerated into one of bitterness, name-calling, abuse and a lot more. Please don't think we're not concerned about the issue; but the general member also has a responsiblity to speak up and express their views.
