Recently a Godfrey Pereira wrote an essay titled, A letter to
the Bleddy Goans from an East Indian bugger. Rarely has a
post created such a maelstrom of a response from Goans on
Goanet. While some deplored Godfrey's salty language,
others argued his points are well founded.
The original post by Godfrey Pereira.

Another topic which stoked controversy was
JoeGoaUK, a long-time, regular contributor to
Goanet, documenting life in Goa through his photo
essays. In recent times, the issues of anonymity
and copyright have come into focus. There is the
question of accountability but is this to be
balanced against the beneficial services the person
maybeproviding to the community. Here were some
views shared.
