Dr. Colaco's message that we all buy more books by Goan authors began with an attack
on Goan authors who did not publicly congratulate Ben Antao on Goanet.
I objected to it when he first made that attack and I object to it now. Private
messages---including private messages of congratulation---do not belong on Goanet.
Personal attacks also do not belong on this forum. Some writers were attacked by
name, in that same message that urged us to buy more books. I found that attack to be
equally objectionable.
My focus was on those parts of Dr. Colaco's message that I felt crossed the line.
My focus was not on the messenger. I do not know Dr. Colaco, and have no animosity
whatever towards him.
Regards,
Victor
