This is a request, especially to Toronto-based goanetters. not to call me or even if I call them to join issue over what I have written on goanet. They should post their views on goanet.
Recently, one of these goanetters said I should have not "discouraged" a young writer such as Dale Menzes who wrote the review of Selma's book. He also took offence that I said Goa was "intellectually bankrupt" and asked me if I was had a superior intellect. I told him to make his point of view on goanet and not to me personally. It developed into a little argument and he said that I was a "shit disturber." This was same guy who enjoyed my writings on the last Goan convention. He said he does not care to read my posts on goanet. Hypocrisy, isn't it? This is not the first instance that we have had arguments over what I write or what comes on goanet. Thanks goanet for ruining one of my very few old friendships. Eugene
