I wonder: Does Mr. Rangel-Ribeiro agree that HIS posts did NOT have a "screen
name" besides [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? If So, Will he issue a retraction of
that part (atleast) of what he wrote? or Will he use some standard excuse (I
am not interested in unending debates) and just keep quiet now?
Will he come with more unbalanced Kattor re Bhaji?
Dear Dr. J. Colaco,
All my posts go out under my own screen name, which is vrangelrib. Once
they appear, I do not read them, because I know what they say---I promptly
delete them. If goanet left out my screenname, it had nothing to do with me;
and I did not notice it, since I deleted the message as soon as I saw it had
been published.
You asked at some point whether, since I had objected to public
congratulations being extended on Goanet, I would also object to birthday
messages and messages of condolence. Not one of the birthday greetings and
messages of condolence that have appeared on Goanet over the years have
included attacks on other people, living or dead; the post about Ben Antao
being appointed president of a Canadian authors' group slammed other Goan
writers, both named and unnamed, for not publicly congratulating him.
I did not object to your congratulating Ben Antao on Goanet, or anybody
else who felt like doing so; I objected to the demand that other Goan writers
should also congratulate Ben in public, or face censure.
Finally, you ask: "Will he come with more unbalanced Kattor re Bhaji?"
Since I have not yet come up with any unbalanced Kattor re Bhaji, it
would be difficult for me to come up with "more".
Best regards,
Victor
