Dear Goanetters,
Goanet's "Moderation" is at times actually extremist! To add to it, Bosco can
be quite condescending ... as if he has inherited some divine rights on Goanet
like the Stewarts and the Tudors of Britain that is no longer "Great". I have
nothing against Bosco D'Mello but "Moderator" is a term that seems incongruous
when used to describe him! "Sole Arbitrator" may be a better term to use. ;-)
I have no problems with Viviana or any one else on Goanet, now that my friend
and irritator Frederick Noronha has become an occasional "Moderator" (or
"Approver" ;-)] on Goanet. I have had to ask him to withdraw as "Moderator" on
on Aldona Net and St. Mary's alumni list due to strong differences on the
meaning of the term "moderation". Both these lists are now moderated by
moderate people, not extremists like Frederick and Miguel ;-( Jenifer Lewis has
been doing a wonderful job of moderating Vascokars United yahoogroups and
Gaspar with Gulf Goans yahoogroups. So is Savio doing a great job with Aldona
Net and four girls are doing a great job of Chilli Net as we call the St.
Mary's Convent alumni list in which I am a member by virtue of the three years
in that school.
Bosco seems to be suffering from "Moderation fatigue" like some people in Goa
are suffering form "Agitation fatigue". In the GBA, Patricia resigned
gracefully while Oscar resigned with a bang.Bosco can choose his own style ....
or at least take a sabbatical for rest and recreation like the G.I. Joes! ;-)
He can come back rejuvenated .... with a bang, if necessary!

Hi Santosh
I will agree with you that Viviana is quite happy to provide her name and
reason for a post rejection .... and have nil disagreement with her.
Moreover he [Bosco]has told me personally in Toronto that since April 2008, he
was no longer a moderator.
As to Frederick for whom I definitely still hold in high esteem, perhaps you
will have noted that I indicated that I was not attacking the person but the
systemic mess that Goanet is in regarding hundreds of unexplained post rejects.
