[Gocamino] No cell phones, computers or I pods

[Wilna Wilkinson]

Goodness, fellow pilgrims!
What a storm in a teacup!
A young student wrote an enthusiastic piece about a pilgrimage about which
there is probably more conflicting and more contradictory information than
any other historical event in the world.  If this same student wrote this
same piece after he or she had walked the actual Camino, I could understand
a few question marks. But the somewhat patronising comments and shocked
criticism I have seen in this discussion about  this piece -- so much so
that the university have felt it necessary to make a formal apology -- is
really not worthy of people who have had the Camino experience. Where are
the role models of the tolerant and kind and understanding people that come
out the other side of the Camino experience? Why not just a gentle - and
constructive correction of the facts -- if you 100% sure that the facts that
YOU have are actually the correct ones?

Think about it
