I wish to add my two cents to this debate. How come the same individuals that
take Eugene to task have not / do not practice what they are preaching to
Eugene? I hope at least in the future, they will practice what they preach; or
they can be part of the 'crab-codi'.
I did not attend the meeting. I thought Eugene's write up was factual without
malice or never- ending and personal opinions that Goanetters are prone to
dwell upon. I think Gabe's comments were as usual very insightful.
I met Ben Antao once and he is a fine man. I know some other organizers
via Goanet. What I find interesting now that it is their turn to deliver,
(instead of critiquing the work of others on Goanet), they appreciate how hard
real success is. It is so much easier to critique others in the past ... way
past (prior generations) ... or way way past (history).
At one of the local clubs I belong, the President who as been there for a long
time, says at every meeting, "Those who do not like what is going on, please
stand for officer at the upcoming election."

It is easy to take issue with what Eugene has written; we shall never learn
lessons, if issues to be confronted, are not brought to the fore. The powers
that be, whether in the Goa Govt. the various Goan organizations and what have
you, would be more than happy that only praise is heaped. In fact,
pronouncements have been made here in London as well....'we do not want
controversy' Which means please overlook the bad stuff.
