Dear Goanetters, In reference to Bab Bosco D'Mello's post , I will not go into the detail of individual points made ( unless he wishes me to ). I shall, however, make a couple of observations at this stage. 1 ) I have more than sufficient reason to believe that the moderator concerned is fairer than most. There are some points he has made regarding my Goanet postings that are entirely valid .I have absolutely no qualms in tendering an unconditional apology specifically to Bosco and to goanetters in general. 2 ) Regarding other comments made , I apologise as well ( but this part of the apology is strictly conditional ). I have set certain norms and conduct codes for myself. I have clearly violated my own self imposed standards. I could have defended several issues raised by Bosco by simply demonstrating the huge discrepancy between the threshold for castigating me and the lax attitude towards the activities that certain other goanetters who have been a target of my postings in the recent past have indulged in over a prolonged period. I have absolutely no personal grudge against any fellow netter. But I contend that it would have been nigh impossible for me to make certain important points I needed to make without getting involved in some one to one exchanges and using stronger words than I am comfortable with. I will conditionally desist from such behaviour. Conditional to the fact that similar standards of Goanet behaviour are enforced irrespective of whether the missiles flying around ( to borrow a phrase from Bab Dom Martin ), in terms of issues and individuals, find targets nearer or away from home. luv and regards, anand ( Dr Anand Virgincar ) _________________________________________________________________ Get Hotmail on your mobile, text MSN to 63463! http://mobile.uk.msn.com/pc/mail.aspx
