With all due respects to Peter D'Souza, his explanation to his question is rather lame. Perhaps his question is just exoteric. I am not claiming that Peter made a libelous post; since I do not follow all his or other posters' post.
Yet, should the Goanet administration take a stronger stand on libelous post? If the Goanet administration feels it has enough on its plate, for a minimum it can have an "Ethics Committee" to look at posts in question. This would be a better solution than legal action. Cyberspace is not a free for all (lagao bhathi) to "let off steam" or make wild allegations against individuals. The administrators may not be able to get away with "the opinion expressed on this web site is not necessarily endorsed by the administration...." . Regards, GL -------------------------- Peter D'Souza The dictionary definition doesn't seem to support your basic contention. While it's not a matter of pride for anyone who's been through it (the process of defrocking), it seems like a purely technical description. 1. To strip of priestly privileges and functions. 2. To deprive of the right to practice a profession. 3. To deprive of an honorary position. ----- Mervyn Lobo wrote: > Peter, > The short answer is yes. > Peter D'Souza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> 2.
